energy displayed by the proprietor Of this line Is
c.rtainy ~oominendable, and deserving the pat
ronage Of our people. Through deep snow and
over heavy roads, trips from Elko have been made
in seven and eight days, at the low rate Of three
cents per pound On freight.
On A TouR.-our weli-known citizen Jack
Perry, after having suffered for a long time with
the rheumatism. has at last recovered sufficient.
ly to allow his taking = trip TO the CITY ~
Saints, where he goes TO look after the conduct
Of heathens in that locality. In his absence
Father Hyacinth will preside over the destinios
of the establishment, and dispense consolation
TO those in need Of such. IL ID our earnest wish
that our old friend Jack may escape the snares
of Mormonism and return TO Us the same good
Christian ~ when he left.
REMOVAL we are informed that the Office OF
Wells, Fargo q Co, will be removed during the
present week to Woodruff Il Ennor's place of
business. We notice the changes being made by
W. h f.. in their building. and art Of the opin-
ion that II is better Ia consolidate the business
AZ proposed. Mr.. Woodruff Is himself the agent,
and will undoubtedly give general satisfaction
as such. The building now occupied by W. Il.
L Co.. will BE- used by the Citizens Bank.
FaoN WHITE RIvER.-we met two of the ALI
son boys, from White River. during the week,
and they report fine prospects for a good season
in the agricultural line. The people OF that
section were much disappointed at the failure
In not being anDexed to White Pine county, and
say they prefer Hamilton NJ n trading point at
ali hazards. The roads between here and there
are represented as being almost impossible, ON
account Of the large quantity of SNOW, which is
becoming soft.
AccrDENr.-we are sorry to learn that the
well-known stage driver sampson, who has been
runninR on the Palisade end Of Woodruff 4
Enuor's route, met with . severe accident the
other day while driving q heavy load through.
Mr.. sampson has been particularly unfortunate
the past year, having only a short lime since
broken his ankle while driving on the same
route. We sympathise with him, anu hope this
may prove the last accident In his lifetime
sorr.-This is what the roads are just now,
From Eureka 10 Hamilton there is but a short
distance which IL passable. and, If warm weather
continues the roads will soon be In n miserable
condition. We see that the toll road proprietort
are busIly engaged in shoveling the snow from
their road 10 an 10 make 1t passable for wagons
This il q move in the right direction.

Senator from Lincoln county. passed through
