Considerable difficulty has been ex-

14th. with the section of track on the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad. just
above the Fort HON estead tunnel, which,
during that time, has been gradually
sliding into the ravine below. A force Of
men is now engaged working upon it
night and day, the night shift being COM
posed of about twenty five men and the
day between rs and 80. It is probable
that with the present force of men the
slide will soon be checked, as the proper
steps to do so are being taken, viz: fll-
ing the ravine from the side opposite the
sliding section OF track. The ground is
moving SO gradually that the regular
traffic Of the road is not interfered with,
further than the trains pass the point at
a very slow rate Of speed.

shooters. For some time bad feeling
has existed between the representatives
of the rival companies. and but little

The pugilis.ic reporter OF the Carson
Tribune mas been interviewing Johnny
Sullivan and says: We ran down to Ker-
sey's Warm Springs for the purpose of
having look at Johnny Sullivan, who is
to fight Trevillan on the 2lst OF next
March. We found Sullivan and his
trainer, Tom Kean, at the hotel, they
having just come in from their diurnal
exercise. Johnny is small man. but
looks as though he would be hard nut
to crack. His fighting weight will be
from ll9 to l2l pounds. He has fought
several battles in Australia and generally
came of victor. His friends claim for
him that he is regular slayer, and that
II Trevillian does not whip him in the
first few rounds Sullivan will surely get
away with the Cornishman, as he is bet
ter after a two hours fight than in the
first round. We have the record of Sui
livan's fights and shall publish it between
now and the time of the contest, To
our notion, and we have seen MANY scores
of fighting men, Sullivan is the most
dangerous looking OF all.
