road boys inform us that sore footed,
but determined pilgrim is slowly, but
steadily, vending his way to the
Golden State along the railroad. His
outfit consists of wheelbarrow loaded
with blankets, clothing and provisions,
which he propels from ten to twenty
hive miles "a day, the distance being
governed more or less by the condi-
ton Of the roads and the weather. He
looks with contempt ON the cars as
they pass him, and considers his way
OF travelling less dangerous than run

buggy along the railroad from Omaha

EhiISs RANTS.

A special train consisting of nine
teen cars filled with $40 emigrants
passed here last evening Usually the
enigrdnt train passes Wiuuemucca
late at night, aud but little opportunity
Is afforded Tor forming AN opinion as to
the appearance or character Of the
migrating passengers. Yesterday they
arrived ahead OF the passenger, and
hundreds Of them crowded the plat
torn at the depot. A large majority of
the number were men, fine intelligent
looking fellows, sho seemed to under
stand what they were about and did
not expect to find bed of roses in
California, on which they could leis-
urely repose and speqd their lives in
luxurious ease. A number of them
with whom We conversed appeared to
understand the situation thoroughly,
aud did not expect to find an easy row
TO hoe upon reaching their destination.
Thsy said they were accustomed to hard
work, and that ma, orty of them were
Aolng to California because they be-
heytd there were better opportunities
IN that State for workingmen than
where they had come from. AS whole
the Passengers Oh yesterdays emf
grant train would compare favorably,
hysically and intellectually with the
early California emigrants who crossed
the continent with OK teams, and made
California what ii is to-day, one of the
finest States in the Union. Undoubt-
.dly many of them will experience sore
disappointment and a few may re-
trace their steps to the east, but ma
jority OF them are bound to get along
fully as well as they anticipated.

taken on board the press steamer in
the afternoon, as ainst his own wish,

the pilot declined the responsibility of

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE. Last Satur-
day just as the day shift in the lower
leyel of the Pride of the Mountain
mine was about quitting, the miners
broke into the wall Of the ledge, for
which they have been drifting, and be.
coming excited at the rich ore in the
VEN, continued at work until they
had extracted half ton, or such
matter, of ore that is estimated to con-
tain from s400 to $500 per ton in
silver. A night shift was then set at
work, and in few hours ascertained
that vein of solid ore two and half
feet thick exists at that point. This
drift is at the water level, two hundred
feet below the groupings of the lead.
and as matter of course has created
some excitement, not only among those
who own in the mine, but among the
miners IN the employ of the company,
from one of whom the above intorma-
ton has been derived.
