Something About the Carson tiver.
From Mr. s. z. Jones Of Empire We
gather the materials for the following
facts and Il cures: The amount of wood
now coming out of the ditch, going over
the dam and coming down the river may
be put down in round numbers at say
Is. 600 cords. OF this amount, $4,000
cords go over the dam and down to Day
ton; the balance remaining in Empire.
This Fifty thousand cords for Empire is
owned by various parties, Messrs. Smith
+ Jones being the largest owners. This
drive is brought down under contract by
H4ssrs Bryant d Flanders, and is COM
ing on prosperously. Hitherto ten hours
has been days work by the men em-
ployed in taking the wood out of the

q days work-that is, from 4 in the
morning tin 8 in the evening. 1t is
hardly correct, though to call this a
days work, for it conveys n wrong i'm
preston; we should say, more properly.
that the shifts will be off and on during
the hours indicated. The water in the
river is falling very rapidly under the
inf'urnce of this warm weather-falling
ore than an irch day. This, it is
thought, will soon reduce the power and
bullion producing capacity Of the larger
Carson River Mills - the Mexican,
Brunswick and Eureka. though it prob
ably won make much difference with
the smaller ones. Present appearances
indicate that the river will be lower this
year than for some seasons past. The
wood drivers will be lucky if they get
their contracts completed without any
serious mishaps.
RACES At GENoA-We are indebted to
Jerome Thorington FOR the following re-
port of some sports of the turf which
took place at Genoa on Sunday after
noon. the 18th inst: The first n order
was single dash of 600 yards for pro-
prietors' purse of $40 90 forty dollars)
swelled to those immense proportions BY
the combined contributions Of the four
reckless gar,esters who made up the
race There were four entries at ten
dollars each, and the entrance money
was added-to the bag. The contesting
brut-s were "Tamarack. entered by
Pat Roam. Lady B II" BY - Murphy;
" Roach" by John james; and Crazy
Jane" whose sponsor being unknown
to Jerome will have to remain unknown
to fame. As Mr.. Thorington remarked.
-" Tamarack is quite speedy racer for
. short distance; and this is why he
commanded to in the pools -that is
TO say. four drinks to one American
cigar of Chinese extraction. 1t i, need
less to say that "Tamarack won the
race. There would have been tronble in
Genoa if he hadn't The seconn race
