Fixing the Roads.

There are about q dozen heavy teams m
ployed in hauling charcoal from the vicini-
ty OF Pages ranch, on Fish creek, and
among the number are some of Jake Wad-
ish's. Consequently, Jake takes a lively
interest In that section. We are told by Q
teamster, that Jake and another man have
been at work for nearly two weeks remov-
ing b onlders and stones from the rockiest
portion Of the road, and have so far i'm
proved the road that the trip can be made
in several hours less time than formerly.
Jake will put in q %culvert at the head Of
Eureka canyon, where the water crosses
before long. 1t Is needed, and the Com
missioners have never refused to stand
in" for needed improvements. Jake is o
at work on some other road. and with half
a show, when fully authorized, We are Of
the opinion that he will make q wonderful
improvement in our township thorough
fares. In talking with him a few days ago.
be remarked. that Of all the places which
required immediate attention, il was that
between here and the depot, about the Eu-
reka Con. Stag pile. Everyone knows that,
and if the County Commissioners would
arrange for a road OIL either side Of the
ditch, so that it would not be fenced up or
e~ncroached upon, then it would not be
long until one could ride safely, after dark,
without constant fear OF breaking ones
neck.

STATE N COAST.

Gen. Hatch assured us yesterday, says
the Reno Journal of the Goth inst, that
work would commence on the railroad
within ten days. The cold weather and
winter was offered as an objection, but he
said the Peavine Hill could be cut down
better now than in the spring. because it
would then be like putty, whereas now it
is dry. Thirty miles will be graded and
laid within the next two months.
Dave Mcfarland shot three times at Alb.
Smith. Saturday evening, says the Reno
Journal, but luckily the shots did no
harm. The trouble occurred in the Ar
cade, over a game of cards. An hour or
two after the shooting we saw the two men
together on the street, so judge that they
forgot and forgave each other.
Another big shipment of copper from
Silver City, N. NJ, occurred on Tuesday
last. Schultz Bros. sent 63, 353 pounds of
pig copper to Socorro, and IL, 1853 pounds
to San Simon. The former goes East by
Kansas City, and the latter East via San
Francisco.
The next mining boom~will probably be
at Gold Mountain. The Candelaria True
Fissure says: A great many people are
going in there this winter, and there will
be considerable of a rush next spring. The
mines are all good lodges. A mill is being
erected.
Most of the miners and ~prospectors in
the vicinity of Mountain City have sus-
pended work for the winter. This they
were compelled to do on account of the
extreme cold weather, and the difficulty Of
getting in supplies during the coming cold
season.
The old Baltic mine, in Amador District,
has been relocated in the name Of Silver
Mountain. The new owners are arranging
for commencing work, for taking out a few
tons of ore, in order to determine its
worth.

evening, says the Tombstone Epitaph,

New Furnace Appliances.

Henry Allen last evening showed us his
patented slag-pot, or rather the little model
of it. The slag-wheeler should rise up
and call Mr.. Allen blessed. Instead Of
having to stand and bang away with a
sledge upon the edge of the pot to get the
Stag loose, thereby taking chances Of break
ing the same, at the bottom there is a
movable plug, which only requires a slight
tap to start the plug loose, and the plug
drops back into place as soon as the pot is
righted. Mr.. Allen also exhibited a wooden
model and draught for a couple of tweers.
The paper plan of one consists in its being
so arranged as to throw the blast up,
down, right or left, into the furnace, at
the pleasure of the smelter. The wooden
model is after the pattern Of the tweer now
in use but its improvement consists in
having a false or extra mouthpiece of one
eighth iron plate, which extends into the
furnace six or eight inches from the face
Of the sandstone lining. This feature is in
troduced to save the end of the tweer until
a cement or coating is formed about its
mouth, and thus will be avoided the
trouble OF putting in new ones 80 often, as
they burn out frequently. This invention
will be tried in the Atlas furnace, which is
now being put in shape for work, and also
the Eureka Con. will adopt its use in
the next furnaces which they refine.

Sweeney & Co. appear to be out of.luek
with their livery stock OF late. One week
ago last Sunday they let a splendid horse
to some party to go over to Pinto,
and the horse was taken sick Immediately
upon its return, and died. Saturday night
about l O'Clock Jimmy Hall drove into the
toll house on the Newark road, on his way
over from Cherry Greek with a load of
passengers, having a team from Sweeney's
stable. Right there one of the best horses
belonging to the team laid down and died.
Jimmy said the horse showed symptoms Of
sickness shortly after leaving the Thirty
mile springs, and he humored him the
best be could. but not having anything to
give the animal, he worried along, and at
last got to The toll-gate.

The Cold Wave.

1t appears that the weather sharps have
come out fret best In the East in predic-
tons Of q cold snap. The FONT OF high
barometer extended over almost the
breadth Of the United States from north TO
south, and swept east at an easy -going
pace. First, the state Of the weather was
telegraphed from the Pacific Coast to the
Atlantic, and then from the Sierras ; from
the Wasatch, and then from the Rockies.
The prognosticators along the Missouri
Valley knew what was coming, and the
Kansas farmers covered up their water
melon v~ines-all the g~rassnoppers had
left the Iowa girls were hustled out to
gather the spuds which had been plowed
out the Illinois old maids "kivered " up
their dried apples and the Sucker State
boy stood watching for the hickory
:" shucks to pop open. Garfeld's canal
boat was rustled along with an extra relay
OF Barnum's mules, in order to make the
round trip before the "canawl" should
freeze, and the enterprising Yankee CON-
menced to steal his winters wood. Verify,
these are times of improvement. and the
weather reporters prophecies are words Of
warning.

NEW MEXICO.

A correspondent OF the New York Her.
aid writes after this manner Of the " COM
ing country" New Mexico is generally
enjoying unprecedented prosperity and re-
joicing over its rapid progress and inn
provement. The railroad which first en-
tered the Territory little more than a year
ago has been built with surprising rapid
ity, SO that Las Vegas, Santa Fe and AL
buquerque, with all the intermediate
towns, are now within four days travel Of
New York. With it has come q great in
hux OF population, and everywhere build
ing is being rapidly carried on to endeavor
TO meet the necessities OF the new corners.
While yet but little is known at the East 1t
can safely be said that the our of
New Mexico and the inducements pre-
sented by climate and character of popula.
ton are far greater than those OF any other
Territory, and that when its advantages
are known the tide of emigration will flow
to 1t more largely than to any other section.
Its mineral resources are practically bound
less. Gold, silver, and copper are found
from the extreme north in Colfax and Taos
to the boundaries Of Mexico and Arizona.
The old mines, which produced ALMOST fab
ulously of silver in the early Spanish days,
and which were closed in 1880 by the In
dian war, are just being reopeIod by
American enterprise.
Professor Silliman, in his recent report
says that the newly discovered gold placers
on the Upper Rio Grande are second only
in importance to the virgin fields Of gold
discovered in California and Australia
more han q quarter of a century ago,
while Western Colfax and Mora contain
undeveloped riches sufficient for genera
tions. No n who has examined the SUBJ
ject can doubt that New Mexico contains
more silver than Colorado or Nevada, and
more gold than now exists in California.
and that its future, il based on mineral
alone, would be a most brilliant
one.

that the like has never been seen in Eu-

quality Of goods Mr.. Steler has the repu-
tation Of keeping need no words of praise
