ITEMS.

Messrs. O. P. Willis and T. J. Edwards,
with their families, started yesterday after
noon
on TOUR
To Hope Valley, Silver Lake, and perhaps
the Calaveras Big Trees. They take with
them an outfit for camping, including tent
and cooking stove. Their camp stove of sheet
iron is of ample size and weighs only about
twelve pounds. The party will probably be
absent from Carson three weeks. Mr.. s. Z.
Jones reports the water in the Carson River
At Empire lower than he ever knew it to be
before at this season of the year, and ne has
resided there since 1860. The taking out OF
wood from large drive has made business in
the vicinity of Empire little more lively OF
late. The Brunswick Mill has nearly ceased
operations. The
WOLF CREEK WOOD DRIVE
OF about seven thousand cords is now twelve
miles above Genoa Though its progress Is
slow it will make the rifle and reach Empire
at no very distant day. From its starting
place it has already gone some thirty miles.
Work on the
NORTH CARSON MINE
Il expected to be resumed next week. Some
instructions in relation thereto were tele-
graphed by the President Of the Company
now at San Francisco to the Superintendent
in Carson yesterday. The
DOC CATCHING BUSINESS
Has been lively since Monday. The dog
pound is being filed with unlicensed ours.
The idea that it is a difficult matter to corral
them is fallacious. The police have very
effective way Of doing it, which we do not
choose to explain. The
JOURNAL OF THE SENATE
OF the Eighth Session OF the Legislature OF

PEACHES

least we have the word OF one fruit dealer
that he yesterday sold ten boxes of twenty
Eve pounds each, at that price, and could
have sold moro if he had not exhausted his
stock The Carson Brass Band contemplate
soon giving a
