should the bridge stand the pressure Oft
water. the floating logs will jam against
It and cause it TO give way. Large num-
beers OF horses and cattle are reported as
having drowned in endeavoring to cross
the river. The above information was
received by telegraph. Upon the arrival
OF the train last night we received the
following additional particulars from a
friend in Palisade: All quiet on the
Humboldt to-day. The grand rise of the
river yesterday has at last found its high
est stage. Nothing new, except the track
about one mile south of town was in
rather bad condition. Mr.. Marshall
had his men employed securing the
track by filling up with rocks. By the
time the northern bound passenger train
arrived he bad everything in safe con-
dition for it to cross. The train stopped;
Mr.. Marsh all and Conductor Fee ex-
amined the point and concluding that
everything was lovely, the train moved
over the break in the track and up to the
depot on time.
The Belmont Courier Of the Goth says:
On Monday last the South Barcelona
Company made further and very en-
couraging developments in the cross-cut
running north from the northeast tunnel
drift. at distance OF about 25 feet from
the latter. A piece OF the ore lying on
the table before us, from the cross-cut
referred to, will assay fully at the rate of
$500 Per ton, and resembles in character
very much that of the Savage (Com-
stock ore. The steady improvement in
the quality OF ore in this immense de-
post in the South Barcelona goes to con-
firm the oft-repeated expressed opinions
of all experienced mining men who have
been into the two Barcelona mines dur.
ing the past six or eight months that
Spanish Belt District will have to be
recognized as the Comstock Of Eastern
Nevada.
We are reliably informed, says the
Eureka Sentinel, that the Richmond
Company will resume active operations
at the mine on the first pro1imo. A
number of men are already at work un-
derground preparing for the extraction
of ore, and as there is considerable
amount of ore ut the dump, hauling to
the furnaces will be resumed at the same
time that operations are commenced in
the mine. The repairs Mt the smelling
works have not yet been completed, but
we presume they will start up at an early
period No trouble is anticipated be.

The Eureka Sentinel of tho Goth says
From dispatches from Palsade, received
at z o'clock last evening, we learn that
the Humboldt river was higher than it
had been at any time during the freshet,
and was still rising causing the most Sc
rious apprehensions for the safety of
both the bridges. The citizens were en-
gagged weighing down the upper bridge
to keep 1t from going, but if the water
continued to rise during the night it was
thought their efforts would be fruitless.
The Eureka and Palisade track for hun
bred yards on this side of the bridge was
foot under water, but the, trains by 60
ing slow were able to make their way
through to and across the bridge. Things
looked 30 threatening that the railroad
employees at Palisade telegraphed to Su-
| perihtendent Evarts. who left here for
that place on a train at o'clock last
evening. Further news from the flooded
town will be awaited with unusual in
! terest.
