NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

PREPARATIONS are now being made by |
the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Com
pany, says the Enterprise, for cutting
and putting up ice on large scale at
their new reservoir, situated on the sum
nit of the Virginia range of mountains,
about mile south Of the Ophir Grade
dollhouse. They will at once erect an
an ice house near the reservoir which will
be twenty feet in width, eighty feet in
length and twenty-five feet in height.
In the erection of this building there will
be required 10000 feet of lumber. 1t
will hold 1000 tons of ice, and in prop
erly storing this quantity twenty car
loads of sawdust will be required. A
portion of the lumber for the building
and quantity of sawdust arrived yester-
day and will be hauled out to the reser-
voir by Breed & Crosby's teams to-day.
The reservoir, upon which strong force
of men is now engaged, is fast approach
ing completion. When completed 1t will
cover nearly an acre and q half of ground
and will contain body of water twelve
feet in depth. The reservoir is being
constructed in an elevated and exposed
situation, and it is thought that very fine
ice will be formed upon it during the
months of January and February.
SPECIAL Indian Commissioner ingalls,,
accom- panied by Levi A. Gheen, says the
Sentinel of Tuesday, passed through
Eureka last night in the direction of
the railroad, They paid us very brief
visit, and gave US some items OF interest
relative to Indian affairs. Among other
| important things mentioned was the fact
| that the Shoshone Indians in this section
are to be gathered together and removed
| to reservation somewhire north of the
railroad This matter has been fully de-
termined and soon the haunts and
slaughterhouses and swill tubs that know
Lo now, will know him no more forever.
Commissioner Ingalls, meets other gen.
tlemen connected with Indian affairs at
Corinne on the 9th for a general pow
WOW and war talk. He has promised to
furnish us any items of interest as re-
CARDS the "plumed riders.of the desert in
this section that may fall under his OBJ
servation.
The Eureka Sentinel, of Tuesday,
says: Riley the Hamilton stage driver,
informs US that young married lady of
Hamilton was not expected to live when
he left yesterday. 1t seems that she was
sick. and by mistake the nurse admins
tered the wrong medicine. Strenuous
efforts were being made to restore con-
seriousness, but without avail. Late last
evening Mr.. Snetsinger, Woodruff & En-
nor agent at this place, received dis
patch from Hamilton saying that a
corpse would be down to-morr ow, which
leads to the conclusion that the lady
above referred to probably died. Fear.
ing that there might be some mistake,
howe yer, about the matter, we omit hel
name.
