Thar PHESoNESoS AoAIS.--The En-
terprise OF this morning says: "Ths
Virginia aud Truckee Railroad continues
in good order throughout its whole
length. No caves or slides have 90.
Cured during the present storm. The
only place where there is any trouble
Is at the point between here and Gold
Hill, where an embankment has required
q good deal OF attention on account oil
its strunge sinking" Could we guess
any reason for tho Enterprise trying to
create unnecessary alarm in the mind Of
the travelling public and thereby injurs
the trafc OF the Virginia and Truckss
Railroad. We would conclude that such
items a the one quoted were inserted
for that purpose; but not being able
TO do 10 We confess to being non-plussed.
Hal that Sirn,3s sinking occurred dur
ing dry weather. and was there not
fully as much ground, which has slid
away from the place mentioned. now
laying in the ravins below a. was filed
in during tho past tSo weeks, there
would then he some cause for trying to
raise O sensation about the matter. Had
a strong bulkhead,been placed below the
slide when it first began. n vast deal OF
unnecessary labor would have been
saved. Should another protracted spell
OF wet weather set in. this course may
yet have to be adopted to overcome
the difficulty. as Il is o than prooa-
pie that the mysterious sinking OF the
crosnd will in that event begin again.
TuE v. AND T. RAnRoAp.-Tt would
be supposed that the Virginia and
Truckse Railroad Company would have
its hands full supplying the building
materials and general freight for vir.
Vinia, that have been in such demand
since the ere. without engaging in any
extensive improvements Of its own |;
but while meeting the demands OF the
public, IL still finds timo TO do some
GOOD work ON the road. which will add
materially to its facilities for aceommo-
dating the public in the future. Ono OF
these improvements is the contemplated
erection Of a large freight depot In vir,
GINA, between Sutton avenue aud Mill
street, tho site for which. as before
stated in the NKws. is now being graded.
since the completion Of the bridge to
the Ophir mine. last Monday. n similar
bridge leading TO the ore dumps OF the
Consolidated Virginia has been In active
process Of construction and will be com.
pleted in q few days. The activity OF
all connected with this road IL credita-
BILE, not only to themselves, but TO the
energy and business talent OF ii. NJ.
Yerinston. General superintendent.
Mrsrns' USIoS DALL.-From the nc
tive steps being taken, the ninth ami
versary ball OF the Gold Hill Miners
Union promises to equal any given by
this popular organization in the past.
No pains will be spared by the Commit
tee Of Arrangements whereby the COM
fort and enjoyment OF those wto attend
will be enhanced. Carriages Tor the
accommodation Of ladies' coming from
either Virginia or Silver City will DO run
free both before and after the ball. and
| all else connected Herewith conducted
ON tho same liberal scale. The oeca-
sion Is already beginning to b looked

who have attended tho balls given by
the Union in the past. A 1t comes Oh

who want TO look thoir best have no
time to lose in preparing for the event,
which promises 10 10 the ball oil tho
