shortening the overland Trip.

Shortening the Overland Trip.
Some new arrangements on the Western
end Of the Central Pacific went into opera
ton yesterday. By the change Nevadans
will save several hours in making the trip
to San Francisco. That long, tedious ride
through Livermore Pass is entirely avoid
ed by the new route. The Sacramento
Bee furnishes the following regarding the
new route:
The new Air Line and Tide Level Branch
OF the Central Pacific Railroad, between
Oakland and Sacramento, will be started
into operation about the LIST of September.
This route leaves the Western Division at
Tracey, a new station located about hall
way between Ellis and Bantas thence it
runs to Martinez, and follows the edge of
San Pablo and San Francisco bays to Oak
land wharf. Ellis Station will be aban-
donel after Sunday, September LIST, and
all the buildings at that point are to be
moved up to Tracey. The new route is no
longer than the old one, by way Of Alta
mont, P~lcasanton and Livermore, but is
through q level country, consc-
quently one engine will be able
t. do the work which required
two on the old route, and much better
time will be made-so much better, it is
expected, that the passengers by the East
ern-bound express train will take dinner
at Sacramento at about 1880 P. r., instead
Of arriving at 2:40 p. NJ, as at present.
The Railroad Company are also construct
ing another branch road to leave the Cali
fornia Pacific at Fairfield and run thence
to Benicia, at which point it will be con-
nected by ferry with the aforementioned
route, and run to Oakland from Martinez.
1t is also said that after the completion Of
the branch from Fairfield, the overland
trains going East and West will be run
over the California Pacific road from here
to Fairfield and hence to Oakland, via
Benicia and Martinez. These improve
ments will have the effect Of shortening the
overland trip several hours, and will afford
travellers an opportunity OF traversing
through a fine agricultural country, and
also taking a trip along the bay shores.

BELMONT ITEMS.
Events Of the Past week.

Events OF the Fast Week.
The appended items of interest are from
the Courier of last Saturday:
The Chairman of the Republican Central
Committee of Nye county has received a
letter from General p. Edw. Conner, in
which he asks the annuiling of the action
of the committee in i%nstructing the
delegates to the State Convention. A

next Tuesday, when the Generals letter
will receive the consideration which it
deserves.
From a gentleman just in from Danville
District &c learn that a rich discovery was
made last week in the Vanderbilt mine sit
uated in that district. Superintendent
Alex. Trippel is pushing the work Of devel-
opment at a lively rate, and good reports
may be expected from that locality from
this on.
j. II. Vollmer, who has just returned
from Jett District, Informs us that he has
shipped to San Francisco some ore from
the Centennial and Seventy-Six mines for

factory capitalists will take charge of the
mines and operations at once.
From Joe Cubbins we learn that pros
pecting is being actively prosecuted in
Tolyable District, especially near where the
Nicholl and Oder mine is located. Reports

Some very rich developments have recently

ehequer.
Says the Record Of last Saturday: The
creditors Of the Day Silver Mining Com
pany met on Monday evening last pursu-
ant to a call, at the Office. of the Ray
mond & Ely Company. Statements re-
speeting the financial standing Of the COM
pany were made, from which it appears
that there is still outstanding aud unpaid
on the last assessment 2 1000 shares. If
this is all paid in by the end of 80 days,
when the time expires, it will still leave an
outstanding Indebtedness Of So, 900 to raise,
which another assessment will have to be
levied. This latter assessment will take 60
days to collect and cannot be levied until
the other one expires, so that before the
money to pay creditors can be raised
90 days would expire. The propo-
sition made to the creditors is to
give 80 days time. let the
mine be started TO work on a light
scale and pay its own running expenses.
the assessments going to pay the old in
debtedness. The mesting received these
propositions, very little being said or any
objections made to them, but no conclu-
sion was arrived at, and the meeting was
dismissed with instructions to think over
the matter and come to some conclusion in
reference to it, so as arrangements could
be made to start up work. Another meet
ing was held on Tuesday, but the miners
as o body refused to make any compro-
mise. demanding their pay or nothing
could be done. The meeting then closed.
1t is now proposed to let the miners fore
close their liens and await the laws delay
for their money. J. b. McGcc left Phoebe
yesterday with the intention OF starting up
the mine to-day. a number of the miners
having concluded to take time checks at
ninety days for their claims against the
Company, and some of them disposed of
the same for rs cents on the dollar, cash.

For Justice OF the Peace.

L. W. Cromer, present incumbent, is
announced this morning as a candidate
for reelection to the Office of Justice OF
the Peace, subject to the decision of
the Republican Township Convention.
Judge Cromer has held the position
for two wears, and so far as we know
he has given complete satisfaction. He
has resided in Eureka since the summer of
1869, being among the first corners in this
section. During all these years we nave
never heard an unworthy motive attributed
to him. He has in point Of fact always
been a most excellent citizen, and with the
experience acquired in the position which
he now holds, it would seem that our Re-
publican friends could not go far astray in
nominating him for a second term. Judge
Cromer is an honest man, and by reason
of his long residence and extensive ac-
quaintance, will make a good race.

1t was talked OF the streets Sunday even
ing that a man by the name of Monahan,
from Tuscarora, had been exercising his
lungs considerably in trying to get up a
fight for money with any Englishman or
Cornishman on the Base Range. Matt
Sleeves said that but for his little pre-
arranged affair on next Sunday he would
give Mr.. Monahan a rattle. although the
latter is at least 70 pounds the heaviest.
Bing Williams was up at Ruby Hill, and
~ soon as he returned Immediately pro-
ceeded to deposit some coin in a handy
place, and started out for the man who
bantered, but as yet has not succeeded in
finding him. We are authorized to say for
Mr.. Williams that he will meet Mr.. Mona
han under any rules Of a fight for 81 900 a
side at any time. Williams don't propose
to rough-and-tumble with a man Of so or
100 pounds more weight, but will give him
a fair stand-up battle.

For Constable.

Mr.. VIM. Leggett, of Ruby Hill, comes
to the front this morning as a candidate
for Constable, subject to the decision of
the Republican Township Convention.
Mr.. Lcggett is universally esteemed by
those who know him as one Of the truest
and best men in the community. He was
q soldier in the Union army during the
war Of the rebellion, serving his country
faithfully and loyalty from the m
mcnt to the close Of the great struggle.
II there is anything in the professions Of
the Republican party, this gentleman
should have no trouble in securing the
nomination which he desires. He stood
nobly by his country in the hour of peril,
and II there be gratitude in the hearts OF
politicians he will be given a chance to en-
Joy the honors and emoluments Of a small
Office as a very trifing reward for his great
sacrifice OF time and service. We under
stand that his qualifications for the Office
are most excellent. Ruby Hill is a grow
ing place, and will deserve recognition at
the hands Of both Of the political parties.
In view Of all the facts, Mr.. Leggett's
friends have many strong claims to urge
in his favor before the the Convention.
