Fine progress is now being made, and
indications continue to improve.
SHoRT-SIGHTED PoLIcY-Sending to
San Francisco, or elsewhere, to have any
kind of printing executed. The differ
ence in prices is usually more than coun-
terbalanced by express charges, to say
nothing of delay in getting the work !;
and then the party sending the order has
no opportunity to read the proof-sheets,
ana 1t usually comes to hand in an erro-
neous condition. And then, again, with
how much better grace can the constant
patron OF the local press approach its
proprietor for one of those little gratuit-
GUS favors which all business men occa-
sionally solicit We are now turning
out as fine job printing as any establish.
ment on the Pacific coast.
DIED OF HIS WoUNDs.-Yesterdav
morning, about four o'clock, Mr.. Viii.
liams, the Welshman who was so fear
fully mangled and lacerated by an explo-
sion of blasting powder the day before,
was relieved of his sufferings by death.
Ihe unfortunate man was in circumstan-
ces OF complete restitution and will be
buried at the expense of the county.
lie Is supposed to have reached, or
passed, his tiftieth year. No letters or
papers of any kind We're left behind to
show the exact place of his nativity or
family connections, and none can be
found to tell anything concerning him,
as he had been here but a few DAYS.
NARRow-GAUGE WAGER.-A wager of
$500 has been made that a carload of
ore cannot be taken from the Raymond
IL Ely dump-pile to the Raymond & Ely
mill at Bullionville on or before the Eth
of this month; and this principal bet has
led to several little side wagers. AL
though the constructors have been great
ly embarrassed in their operations bv
delay IN the arrival of material, they
have made wonderful progress, and are
now pushing ahead with redoubled ener-
Sy. If the man betting against the road
wins, he will save himself on a very mar
! row margin.
AN OLD EDIToR.-We Yesterday had
the pleasure of meeting and forming the
acquaintance of Mr. Josiah Reilly, for
merry editor of the Toledo (Ohio)
Commercial. Surrounded by journals Of
nationwide reputation-the press of
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago and De-
troit-as a matter of self-preservation
the Toledo publishers have always been
compelled to employ editors of first class
ability. Mr.. Reilly is now prominently
identified with the shipping interests Of
this State. He is clever and affable
gentleman.
New LOCOMOTIVE CoM1NG.-The new
locomotive for the narrow-gauge railroad
has been shipped from Leh. Its weight
is sixteen tons, and it is warranted to be
powerful enough to do all the work re-
CURED OF 1t, the maker being fully adj
vlsed OF the grade of the road and freight
10 De moved. 1t was constructed in Nc.
Connellsville, Pennsylvania. We were
shown a Photographic representation of
1t, and feel safe in saying it is as neat in
finish as efficient in construction.
A VALUABLE STATISTICAL ALMANAC
Charley Wiederhold, the enterprisinc
news agent, has presented us with copy
of the "Alta California Almanac and
Book of Facts, which is replete with
valuable statistical information of the
Pacific Coast. No professional or bust
ness man should be without copy. 1t
also contains the mining laws of Con-
gress, with all their amendments, and
much other valuable matter. Charley
has large stock for sale.
The BULLIoNvILLE BALL.-Our Piocho
friends returned from the ball given at
Bnllionville, last Friday night, highly
pleased with their treatment there, re-
porting it as a success in all particulars.
Bony Williams had his hall crowded
with guests, at least 100 persons engag-
ing in the dancing. All agree that it
was the most pleasant entertainment
ever given in the valley. We regret that
other engagements prevented our partic-
ipation. .,, ,u,e U, san .,auc,,uo, VI
