The NARROW GAUGE RAILRoAD.-The
Washington Star ssys:-"There are all sorts of
reports and rumors constantly circulating with
reference to the narrow gauge railroad, which
it is proposed to bring to Georgetown if-but
tho ifs are too numerous to mention. The
last report is that arrangements have been con-
summated between the railroad and tho Aque.
duct Bridge company by which the railroad
agrees to pay the bridge company 80 much per
head on each passenger and 30 much per ton
on all freight that comes over tho bridge. The
bridge company did agree that the railroad
could use the bridge on some such terms, but
whether the railroad company accepted the
terms is another question. It is also stated that
the subscription which MIR. Borst may get from
Georgetown is to be paid as follows: When the
road is surveyed and graded between the Aque..
duct bridge and Falls church, 25 per cent. OF
the subscription is to DO paid; when the rails
are laid between these two points, Is per cent.
more is to be paid; when tho road is laid TO
Georgetown Il. o. over the Aqueduct bridget
then Is per cent. more, and finally. when two
trains daily are running upon the road the re
maioder of the subscription is to be paid: But
Georgetown is slow to take hold OF sach
schemes and some of our citizens have even
pone 40 far as to say that the evident intention
of tho project is that Georgetown shall lay the
first six miles of this road. which will then be
mortgaged to lay the next six. y

The railroad from Eureka to Ruby Hill
is something OF a curiosity, as IL winds and
twists about among rocks and hills, all the
time standing more and more ON end. in
its endeavors to climb old Prospect; finally,
when it gets up to the Eureka Console
dated, there is a switch that runs the wood
and lumber cars up at about an angle Of
~forty-five degrees. to a level with the main
building. At the uppermost end Of this
track is a stationary engine, used for hoist
ing these cars by means Of a cable.
Yesterday morning a carload Of lumber
was hooked by the cable and started up
the steep grade. A railroad engine, with 1
train load d with wood and lumber, was on
the track below, and when the car had got
where it should nave stopped (but didn't,)
the nsineer b. low made haste to ~uncouple,
and the way his little engine few back to
the JacI sou grade was q caution. The
car, meanwhile, rushed IN to the engine
house, and there parted cable, coming
back down the mountain three or four hun
dred feet like an so, 000-pound boulder,
catching one of the wood cars at the bot
tom, demolishing the car and sending
some Of the cord-wood flying through the
air for a hundred yards distant from the
scene OF the collision.
The engineer, we are told. endeavored
to shut off the steam at the proper time to
leave the car where it belonged. but, some
how, the steam wouldn't be shut of-some-
thing was o of gear" and the load Of
lumber, to the CONSERVATION Of the hands
about the yard, continued on up the
mountain, as long as the cable held. Fort
unately, no persons was in the course Of
its descent, and none were hurt. The
Consolidated hands employed between the
spur wheels and this railroad station have
a lively time to save their hair a. they

and continue their yield with no apparent
diminution in the resources. The rcduc-
ton of ore this week has been nearly l 600

same average grade as formerly. The dead
work has been continued with good pro-
gress, making 1876 feet of drifts, etc..
during the week in the several levels, as
follows:
Fifth level-The cross-cut north Of main
drift was started this week, and advanced
81 feet; cross-cut south of main drift con-
tinued IA feet. and now in so feet.
Seventh level-Intermediate drift con-
tiuued IS feet, and now in 81 feet.
Eleventh level-Started drift running
north from station, and advanced the same
10 feet. :.
Twelfth level-Main drift continued nine
