NINETY MILES OF RAILROAD
AND NO MORTGAGE.

The San Francisco Bulletin has a
good word for our railroad. although
j, seems to be woefully in the dark
concerning our mineral resources.
TIL, Bulletin makes some reference to
"other groups" of mines beside the
Eureka Consolidated, but seemingly
reckons on that mine as about all we
have to rely upon. For the informa-
ton Of our contemporary we will state
that Eureka has three or four compa-
MES nearly equaling in Importance the
Consolidated. The Richmond, in
particular, is quite an extensive estab-
lishment, producing annually perhaps
as much bullion as the Eureka Con
solidated. Then we have the Atlas,
the X. X, Dundenberg, Geddes q
Bentrand and Adams Hill, to say
nothing Of alarge number of mines of
less note scattered all oyer a mineral
bearing belt Of unequaled extent. But
here is the BuJtetin's notice of the
railroad
TIE narrow-guage railroad from the
Palisades to Eureka, q distance of
ninety miles, was constructed chiefly
by ID. o. Mills IL Co., out of their pri-
vate capital. There are 10 mortgages,
liens, nor county subscriptions. IL is
the first railroad of any extent which
has ever been built in the country out
of the private fortunes OF two or three
individuals. Not only is the road we'll
built and stocked, but a considerable
part of the track has been laid with
steel rails, q single purchase of these
rails having amounted to Sl50,0O0.
The parties who have constructed
the Eureka road own a majority Of the
stock in the railroad from Truckee to
Virginia City-a road which is proba-
bly, paying larger dividends Oh the
investment than any other on the
coast. Outside Of the Comstock ledge,
the Eureka mine is considered one OF
the most important in the country.
There are also other groups of mines
which have been waiting for better
facilities of transportation. Altogether
the Eureka railroad is a hopeful enter
prise. 1t has been constructed by men
who not only had the capital, but who
saw at the outset that it would pay
handsomely. The time will come
when all the great mines of the Pacific
Coast will have railroad connections.
The Utah roads have been built largely
out OF mining resources.

FROM DARWIN. = A private letter
from Darwin 10 a gentleman in this
town states that the outlook for that
place is exceedingly favorable. The
camp is lively and business of all
kinds unusually brisk. The New Coso
furnace has been running successfully
for three months. The Defiance Com
pany's furnace is near completion, and
three other companies have machinery
on the way for smelling works. The
writer of the letter does not anticipate
any retardment Of operations during
the Winter months, which are unusu-
ally mild in that section.

Con. VIRGINIA AMI CALIFORNIA
The Phoebe Record, of the 10Th ult.,
has the following concerning the out
look OF these great mines: A gentle
man of Phoebe yesterday received a
telegram from San Francisco, from a
reliable party there, to the effect that
the Consolidated Virginia will continue
to pay a dividend of ten dollars ashare
per month, right along, and that the
California would commence to pay
dividends either i'll March or April
next. The source from whence this
came may be considered entirely relia-

DEATH OF W. !. FORBES.

style peculiarly his own, distinctive
and original, and as an eccentric puns-

M equal. He was q native OF Craw-
ford county, Ohio, about 45 years OF
age, and migrated to this coast, we be-
lieve, a. early rs 1850. Away back in
the flush times he was connected with
the publication Of q newspaper at CO.

where he subsequently, married. In
1857 be removed to Forest City, Sierra
county, where he founded the Sierra
Democrat. A few months later he
wentto Downieville with the Democrat,
and on the LIST day Of January, 1858,
his Office, together with a great part of
the town, was destroyed by fire. He
soon resumed the publication of the
Democrat and continued to publish it
until he finally merged it with the
Sierra Citizen, a year or two later.
He remained In the printing bus
mess at Downieville until 1868,
when he came to this State, and locat-
ing 1t Unionville began the publica-
tion Of the Humboldt Register, one. of
nsstsst and spiciest weekly papers ever
published on the coast. We next find
him in Virginia City at the head ofthe
Daily Trespass in 1867, and two yeas
later in Treasure City with the White

ACTION OF THE VIRGINIA LAW
YERS.

In the Virginia City correspondence
of the San Francisco Call, of late date,
appears the following:
The lawyers held a meeting this
evening. There we're forty present,
and the First District Court, which
convened at the same time, ordered
that copies saved of our papers may
be substituted for originals within
thirty five days, defendants to have
twenty days to file substitute plead.
ings. All cases made at the present
torn of court are vacated and SET aside.
All trials are continued to the January
term. California litigants can, it is be
lieved, get more time in cases they
have here than given in the order. The
meeting OF lawyers then appointed as a
committee b. c. Whitman, j. Seely,
Judge Lewis, r. II. Lindsay, Andrew
Frazer, and Judge Rising, to name a
committee of ten to call the citizens OF
Storey county to a mass meeting next
Thursday afternoon, in the Pre>byte-
rian Church, to consult in rebuilding
the county buildings, and to petition
for an extra session of the Legislature
this Winter, to provide for cases arising
out of the necessities of the city.
1t would seem from the above that
the lawyers of Storey are of the opinion
that immediate legislation is necessary
to place matters again on a proper fort
ing in Virginia City. We don't know
what the necessities of the case may
be, but presume the facts will be made
public in the meeting called for nex'
Thursday evening. An extra session
Of the Legislature would probably cost
the State 2 5000. but that trifing out
lay ought to net cut any figure in the
case If it can be shown that the inter.
ests of the stricken city would be- ad
vanced by immediate legislation.
