PACIFIC CoAsr PIoSEERs.-A very
enthusiastic meeting Of the Pacific
Coart Pioneer Association was held In
Virginia City last evening. Bill Glib
son Of Gold Hill, was present and sang
one OF his camp meeting songs with
JUNCTION. Just as Judge MARBLE had
finished relating one Of his inimitable
anecdotes, Frank Stewart put in an
appearance, %whereupon a recess was
taken for five minutes In order to az
ford the members of the association an
opportunity to congratulate the emil
nenE scientist upon the recovery Of his
health. Mr.. Stewart will probably
lecture before the association mex:
week or the week following. We un-
derstand that the new Odd Fellows
Hall has been rendered to him for that
purpose.
REruRSEp.-Mr. +. Neville. Of the
firm Of Bird & Neville, painters, re-
turned this morning from a few weeks
stay In California. He took a general
cruise about the coast region, and had
q good time among the sunshine and
flowers, eating clans and other she'll
fruit, but seems to prefer Gold Hill for
business. Anyhow, he is back here,
and, rs may be seen BY reference to an
advertisement under head Of New
To-day" Bird & Neville are reor-
Sanizod for . raid upon any contracts
or Jobs Of painting that may be offered.
They will do the work in tirst-class
style and on short notice. Their shop

A DIFFICULT PIECE OF CASTING
This morning we noticed at the Fulton
Foundry, on the Divide, a couple OF
pump-strainers ordered for use In the
fmperial-E Empire hosting werks. The
straIhers were about 2la feet in length
and six inches In diameter. Some idea
of the labor involved In casting them
can be formed from the fact that In
each there were 1000 holes, formed by
as many sand cones In the mold. zach
n Of which had to be made BY hand.
RAILROAD RkPAIRs.-The wear and
tear of the Virginia and Truckee Rail-
road Is so great in consequence OF the
large number Of trains running over It
daily, that nearly all Of the rails will
have to be replaced with new ones
during the present season. Superin-
tendent Yerington experiences consid-
cradle difficulty in obtaining a supply
Of railroad iron, as at present there Ia
none to be had either In San Francisco
or Chicago.
MEAT EArERs.-Some idea can be
formed Of the enormous consumption
OF beef by our carnivorous population
from the fact that nine meat markets
are located In Virginia City and
five In Gold Hill. The consumption
of beef alone In both places amounts
to fifteen head OF cattle per day, aver
500 pounds each, making \ total Of
2,737, 500 pounds per annum.
