Carthy started for Guaymas, Mexico. the

Report OF the Government Special
A~gent-The Cost of One Years
Carrying over h Pacific Rail-

Report of the Government Special
Agent-The Cost of One Years
Carrying over the Pacific Rail-
way.
Not many persons, says the Reno Jour
nal, know what a vast amount Of mail
matter is carried on the overland railroad
in the course of a year. Once in two years
the Government Special Agent places a
force Of men on the trains between San
Francisco and Ogden. and intermediate
points, during the month. whose duty is
to weigh all The mail bags carried by the
trains. From the reports OF these officers
an average is made of the amount carried
in a year. The compensation received by
the railroad company is $50 per car per
mile yearly, making q total amount of
about $500, 900 per annpm, which is cred
tied to the c%ompany's Indebtedness to the
Government, on its bonded interest ac-
count. In 1878 the weighing was done in
April, and the report was as follows:
Number of pounds from Ogden and inter-
mediate points toward San Francisco, 49,
$40, of which 235, 064 pounds came to San
Francisco. Toward Ogden and interme-
diate stations there we're carried 26S, 287
pounds, and from San Francisco alone
176, 780 pounds. In February, 1880, there
were carried from Ogden and intermediate
points SAG, 1884 pounds, of which San Fran
cisco received 339, 931 pounds. Toward
Ogden and intermediate points there were
carried 401 ,718 pounds, OF which San
Francisco sent 270,588 pounds. The re-
port shows that the service has increased
40 per cent. in two years. There are 81
mail clerks constantly on duty, and they
handle about three tons daily.

WOOD RIVER.
What an Elko Man says About that
Region.

What an ElkO Man Says About that
Region.
The Elko Independent publishes the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Andrew J. Lane,
who with John R. Bradley, left Elko q few
weeks since for the Snake River country:
CAMP ON WooD RIVER, May 7th, 1880.
DEAR SIR According to promise l will
drop you a line, if for nothing more than
to post you in reference to our where
abouts, state of the weather, etc. After
leaving Elko we arrived in due time on
Snake river. Found Col. Wood and family,
also Charles Lane and family in fine
health. The Colonel is comfortably stu
ated on his ranch, and contentment, from
general appearances, might justly be called
all his own. Charles is still operating ia
the mines at Bonanza Bar. He started up
his machines about three weeks since. As
yet l cannot say that he has made q success
of his fine gold operations, but at present
everything seems to be working well, and
he feels confident he will make it pan out
0 X this summer.
We are within sixty miles of the Wood
river mines, and from all the information
we can gain, the prevailing opinion is that
it is going to De an extensive and profitable
MINING region. lO-uay IL one Ol tuOse
nice May days we frequently nave in Ne
vada. The wind blowing from all points
of the compass in less time than you could
imagine, sunshine intermingled and mixed
with rain, hail, sleet and snow. John
Bradley is smoking himself almostto death
over a handful of ashes and Goals in the
mouth of a stretched wagon sheet. a poor
apology for a tent, but as it is the best we
can do now, all hands have to claim that it
is No. /. John proposes to be as gay as a
lark, but when / take into consideration
the state of the weather, and that cold
water straight in rough times is a little
thin, especially to one of Johns habits and
temperament, of course we know how to
make the proper allowances for him. So
far as concerns myself, / am free to admit,
under existing circumstances, / am not as
happy as a newly made Count; neither am
/ as comfortable as l could make myself at
the Palace Hotel, but what can't be cured
must be endured, so here goes for better
weather tomorrow.
The loss of stock on our range has been
light, but in most places north, east, south
and west losses have been heavy. We com-
mence working with cattle in two or three
days; will work down Wood river a dis
tance of 1875 miles. Mr.. Bradley joins me
in sending good wishes to friends and &C.
quaintapces in Elko.

THE sOCIABLE AND FESTIVAL
A Very Agreeable Evenings Enter
tainment.

a very EvenlnS EnteT-
tainment.
The sociable and festival, given by the
ladies Of the Episcopal Church, at Central
Hall last evening, was a perfect success,
both socially and pecuniarily. 1t seems
that the ladies of this church always are
successful in all their entertainments, and
we are glad they we're SO last evening, as il
costs many hours Of labor to prepare
such an elaborate affair. Many of the
finest vocalists Of the town volunteered
their services. We will mention a few Of
the singers, as their efforts greatly en-
ha1ced the enjoyment Of the evening.
A Duett, sang by Mrs. j. E. Platter and
Mrs. DR.. Chamblin, entitled go Where
the Mists are Sleeping" was beautifully
rendered. Both these ladies possess ex.
cellent voices, and being accomplished mu-
s~icians, know well how to use them.
In the song entitled " Sweetheart Miss
Laura Hardy's voice never showed to bet
ter advantage. Miss Hardy has a beauti-
full voice. 1t is very sweet, and is develop
ing more strength and power every day.
Miss Grace Pardy, in her song, 81 Love
u NV t0N0a v Nv AiCA
that she is a very fine singer. Her voice ia
a pure contralto, and its sweetness is re-
markable and causes the listener great
pleasure.
Mrs. DIR. Chamblin is so well known To
our readers that it is almost useless to de.
scribe the magnificent manner in which
she rendered her solo entitled Ecstacy."
The lady has a soprano voice that many
professional singer might be proud OF.
Every ear last evening listened intently to
each note, and when the song was finished
the hall rang with applause.
Mr.. James Mundy favored the audience
with the celebrated baritone solo, 81 Fear
No Foe" Mr.. Mundy has an excellent
voice, and uses it as only an accomplished
singer can do.
The song Lullaby" given by Mr..
Frank Mills, was a gem. In his singing
he expresses great feeling.
The musical portion Of the entertain.
ment was a grand success, ant was due
greatly 10 the efforts Of Prof. Wedeles,
who showed himself a perfect master Of
his art. The Professor is q great acquisi-
ton TO our musical circles.
The ladies looked very tasty behind their
respective counters, and the way the gen
tlemen spent their money showed concln-
sively that they understood what they were
there for.
After the singing the dancing com
menced, and TO the music Of Frank Reigel-
huth's band the hours we're whiled away.
Everyone returned home delighted, and the
ladies have every reason to congratulate
themselves on the successful manner in
which the entertainment passed of.
