EREN.

Il.
The rumors which were circulated for
n day or 50 past, that u change was
about To be made in the management
OF the Eureka and Palisade Railroad
Company, and the stage and freight
lines CONNECTED Herewith, are now
fully corrohoratet. The transfer took
place on Wednesday night, Edgar +.
Mills purchasing of w. l.. Pritchard
his entire interest in the road, together
with the freight lines and the coaches
aud stock OF the stageline running be
tween Alpha and Hamilton. The con-
sideration il said to have been $500 900
and the assumption, by the purchaser,
of The liabilities of the company. We
are informed by Mr.. Mills that work
will be soon resumed on the railroad
aud the road COM leted to this point a
speedily as possible. Parties are o
in the Fast purchasing the iron, rolling
stock and other necessary material.
Engineer Norton is now engaged in Sc
lecting the most practicable route for
the road, On which, as o q as deter
mined, II party will be set to work and
grading commenced.
With the railroad terminus at Eure-
ka, the building ofthe necessary shops,
the additional number of mechanics
aud artisans thereby required, and the
heldqurters ofthe various freight lines
diverging in all directions, the future
of Eureka is "A brilliant one, brought
about 10y the efforts of those hav-
ing the management of the railroad
in their hands.
In time the road will he extended to
the southwark and finally reach the
head of navigation on the Colorado
river, Thus opening up the many dis
tricts that need only the means of
cheaptransportation to enable them to
work the mines and pursue agricul-
tural pursuits, which, at present, is
rendered impossible to be largely car
ried on.
QUICK TIME.-Nan, the driver of one
of the stages running between Alpha
and this place, brought his coach in
yesterday morning, with nine passen-
gers, in four hours from the terminus.
This is what may be called good time,
but only "A fair specimen of what Van
can do when some fellow on the inside
tells him to push on the lines. The
night was uncomfortably dark and
the road very dusty, else he would
have made the trip in still better time.
He made three changes on the road,
which also occupied considerable time.
As Il knight of the ribbons, Van is a
trump.

war, either the blue or the gray, are
invited to be present at an old-fash-
ionei Dump FIRE, to be held on the
