and blows the airs of GOODNESS in the faces OF
her children, tanning away languor, disease
and debility. The wandering vapors of yes
terday gained a final mastery and the rain
clouds and the clouds of wind, seconded by
the lightning and the thunder, cleansed the
atmosphere and revived the dropping spirits
of Respondent mortals. Especially were we
impressed with the weatherishness of things
when as We turned Rails corner going west
erly, we caught big drop of rain right in
the starboard eye. Twas an eye to the
wind ard but the drop was not drop too
much.

They are at it again, fixing the Treadway
ditch where it flows past the V. Il T. Rail
way station. The cross timbers, heavy and
strong as they we're in their day, have gone
the way of the dry rot and must be removed
and replaced. 1t is surprising how quickly a
piece of woodwork will decay here. One
would suppose that in this exceptionally dry
climate, this decay would be but infrequently
met with. The fact is, it is observable OH
every hand.

Mr. Emanuel Penrod, known of old in all
these hills and valleys, was on the railroad
platform Yesterday. When he came in a day
or two ago he fetched, for deposit in the
Mint, some gold dust sent to him by his
brother who is mining at Deadwood in the
Black Hills. Mr.. Penrod, himself is interes-
ted in the placer mines of Elko County. He
says the chief hinderance to successful
working of his claims is lack of water. The |
diggings are rich and extensive, but the i'll
dispensable element IS very scarce. During |
the recent Indian tronbles in Idaho and |
northern Nevada Mr.. Penrod and his asso-
ciates and neighbors built fort, the better to |
protect themselves from the redskins, and he |
declares that they could have held out sue
,essfully against any number of savages that |
could have been brought against them. Looks
exceedingly we'll and is as full of courage and
vigor as ever. Glad to see him.

The fall races over the Carson course are
