washed the ground from under the track,
and the arrival Of the passenger and mail
train from the East was delayed about
twelve hours. A notable occurrence
connects with this accident. The West
bound freight train bad put of two men
who we're beating their way"-travel-
ing without paying. After the torrent Of
water had made its way through the en-
bankment these men came to the break.
There was the track swinging almost
level across the chasm, and the engineer
could not have detected, by the ordinary
vigilance. that anything was wrong; but |
the entire train would have been
wrecked, and doubtless many lives lost,
II 1t had come on. These men, however,
tired as they were, and provoked. of |
course, at the necessity OF walking,
turned back and tagged the coming train, |
stopping II in time to save everything. |
The men were provided with through |
passes. OF course they did merely their |
duty; but still. under all the circum-
stances. their conduct deserves praise
Measure for Measure.
The most terrific storm of rain, &C.
companied by thunder and lightning,
that ever occurred in this section broke
upon this place on Thursday, flooding
the streets and alarming our citizens to
no inconsiderable extent but owing to
the broad and nearly level valley in which
the town is located, no damage of any
consequence was done. Two animals in
team which left here for Eureka just
before the storm, were struck by light
| ming and killed, about a mile west of
town near the Wetmore ranch, and two
persons we're stunned at the same time.
A number of telegraph poles on each OF
the lines were also struck and shattered
within mile and half of this office.
Water continued to flow in torrents from
the surrounding hills for some time after
the rain had ceased, and had Elko been
inclosed within the walls Of narrow
canyon, the terrible scenes lately de-
scribed at the devoted town of Eureka
would in all probability have been re-
enacted here.-tElko Independent, l.
A DESTRUCTIVE cloud-burst occurred at
Coalville, Summit county, on Thursday
evening, doing great damage in the town
and vicinity. The cloud poured out its
contents in deluge which instantane-
ously descended in torrents toward the
coal mines, flooding them and stopping
all operations until they shall have been
pumped out again. which will require
several weeks, at great expense to the
owners. Half mile of the Coalville
track, ties, grade and cars being rolled
unfortunately into heap and carried
westward into the bottoms. Such q
rush of the mighty waters has never
been witnessed before in summit county,
and it is to be hoped never will be again.
The damage to the coal mines is very
great.-[S. L. Tribune, I'd.
THERE seems to be more building
going on in San Francisco at present
than during any previous year. This is
good indication that money is in active
circulation, business good and everything
running smoothly. To all appearances
this wear will be one Of unexampled
prosperity TO California. Her mines and
her soil have yielded literally to the
hands OF the toiler, and in every respect
has she advanced. There is really nc
better index Of plenty of coin floating
about loose than active building enter
prise, and Just now there is building
upon almost every block.-lS. F. Stool
