New Railroad.
The tracklayers Of the Carson and
Colorado Railroad resumed work at
the front last Sunday morning Since
then ton miles Of track have been
Lid This is at the rate OF about a
mile and a half per day. II is the
intention Of Mr.. Laws, the Superiu-
tendcnt of Construction, to not only
keep up this rate of progress, but to
increase il 10 two mil IS per day, as
soon as The Walker Lake Reservation
House is reached.
The locomotives Of this road are Of
exceptional strength. They haul as
big average loads as broad gauge To-
comotiyes, the usual load being 20
cars loaded with ties, rails, hsh-
plates, spikes, etc This, the train
hands say, Is fully as much as could
be hauled on any broad gauge having
az steep grades as those 90 the Car
son and Colorado. The loads new
aggregate about 1875 tons, besides the
weight OF the cars; but when the cars
have run a while, the train hands
say, the locomotives can haul loads
Of 100 tons with comparative ease.
All the breaks made ia the track
during The recent storms have been
repaired in the most substantial man
ner. The break in Daney canon re-
quired a week to repair by putting 10
culyert and long embankments.
That at EIdorado Canon was still
more serious. There a 1000 feet EN-
bankment has been put IN, and !. cul-
vert 100 feet wide erected over the
main channel Of the stream. The
cmbankment is faced by solid stone
wall laid on sand bags, The wall be-
iug propped up and reinforced BY an
embankment six to eight feet wide.

The Sc pore Lab0ripg Man, 81

The laboring men of Jackson coun-
ty have given the blathering dema-
gogues another cutting rebuke. The
townships of Lick, Milton and Wash
ington, were formerly Democratic
strongholds. Look at the returns
now. In Milton there are seven fur
naces, and the new town Of Wellston,
with its great coal mines, and it's
scores of miners, furnace hands, &c.
In Washington is the prosperous new
town of Coalton, with it's scores Of
mines just opened, and its hundreds
Of laboring men. In Lick are four
furnaces in blast, with many new coal
mines just opened.
Verify the laboring men are not the
ignorant machines which the dema-
gogues take them for. When few
more mines shall have been opened in
this county, and few hundred more
honest, intelligent laboring men shall
have become permanent residents, the
Republican majority will run up to
one thousand.

Centre Point Items,

MIR. EDITOR: Your correspondent at this place is
happy to furnish you little batch of news.
Our Sabbath School has been in lourishfng cond
tion all summer with attendance ranging from ff
ty to hundred.
Rev. Creighton Howe of Bunker Hill, preached at
p. on last sunday, and has been engaged TO fill
| the pulpit here every other sunday, services COM
mencing at p. Mr.. IIowe's ministrations are de-
cidedly acceptable in this community, the hope
is INDUCED that he may be enabled to do much good
here
Mr.. Joshua E. Price is the efficient Superintendent
of Sunday School, and under his management the
School is moving along nicely. His example is such
that he inspires others with of his own good
qualities and is thus working great good. Such men
as Mr.. Price are valuable in any community.
We trying to make arrangements for series of
lectures every Tuesday evening during the winter
months, similar those of last winter Some of the
talent in jackson will be called into requisiion,
and the series will be of unusual interest.
Mr.. NJ. T. Patterson, ofLiberty township, is teach
ing at the Point, and has succeeded in building up
the school On a good basis.
The boom in the development of the mineral
resources of Jackson County extends to this point
and recently several gentlemen have been prospecting
in this neighborhood with view to determining the
location of valuable of fire clay, outcropping
of which was found the Chllicothe road, between
the residences of j. b. Howe and w. W. Pierce and
also in the road the of Mr. Pierce, leading up
to the former residence of Prof. Mather. This fire
clay is likely to prove of great value in the near u
ture, and may possibly build up industry in this
County which will be important factor in materi-
al wealth the coal business now is.
An outcropping of coal along the near the resi-
dence of Mr.. Pierce also examined and what had
heretofore been supposed to be slate, found to
give excellent promise of good stratum of bitumi-
nous coal, of quality similar to the Jackson shaft
coan fact the indications seem to point to this as
outcropping of the Jackson shaft coal, and this
opinion is shared by geologsts competent to judge
though it is not definitely ascertained to be such.

The New York Republican State
Convention last week was harmoni-
GUS. Conkling did not attend, and
the Half-breeds had it all their own
way. Now if the nincompoop cranks
could let Conkling and his friends
alone, the Republicans might carry
the State; but they are more crazy
than ever, and appear determined to
compel The Republicans to stand off,
and take no part in the campaign.
Well, perhaps the Greeleyite brevet
rebels can carry the State; and per-
haps not. We shall see.

many of his old neighbors made him a

were lot of cake, and the women con-

US samples. Well, we do not know which
of the good women baked the cake, but
all the samples are first-class.

Mr.. Francis Downey, of Liberty town
mine he is just opening, some>five or six
miles northwest of town. The vein is
three feet thick. MI. Downey says there
are one hundred acres of this coal on his
land. We do not know whether this is
the Jackson shaft coal or whether it is a
vein lower than that. We think it must
be the celebrated iron-making Jackson
coal. We tested it in a stove, and find it
to be very fine quality of coal.

on Monday night, between eight and nine o'clock,
a stable belonging to Judge Evans was burned, with
its contents, about ton and half of hay. The resi-
dence of Wellington c. Evans, ON Columbia street,
was near the burning building, and it took heroic
efforts To it. Mr.. Evans desires publicly, on
his behalf, return thanks only to the fire COM
pany, but TO the citizens generally who worked with
such energy 10 save his residence.
The cause of the fire is of course, unknown as men
and boys who go ino stables drink, smoke, or do
something else, do rot know that lighted match or
lighted cigar thrown upon bay may cause fire.

DR.. r. E. G. Clewers died ON Saturday
night. We knew the deceased since his
boyhood. We went to the same Sabbath
School when we were boys. After the
war he was our nearest neighbor, resid-

He had an excellent wife and children,
and they were good neighbors. Our re-

always pleasant. Poor "Bobp' He had
one great misfortune. Intemperance de-

"The Scientific American repeats
the well worn lie that no one neeo
drown If he or she will simply hole
still and keep the arms down, for the
body will float of itself high enough
to keep the mouth above water. Il
the editor of the S. A. will try that
and take the result, there will be one
editor less to repeat this old delusion.
Cincinnati Gazette.
As to the matter referred to in the
above paragraph, both the Scientific
american and the Gazette, are, to use
the Irishman's expression, partly
correct. The writer of this has fire.
quently, while bathing, cast himself
into the water and foated. A person
may, by holding the breath" and ly-
ing quietly in the water, float until
compelled to take fresh air into the
lungs. By rapidly inhaling fresh air,
and again holding the breath" the
floating may be continued indefinitely.
But our experiments in this direction
were made when divested of clothing.
That person in full dress can float in
the water, we do not belive, and we
are of the opinion that floating will
never become either popular or sue
cessful as means of preservation
from watery graves. A person sud-
denly cast into the water, should he
or she retain sufficient presence of
mind, could with very slight exertion
keep ahoat. But a person suddenly
cast into the water is almost certain to
be alarmed to such an extent as to
drive away all thoughts Of floating
We once saw an army comrade
drowned in the Cumberland river, in
hefollowing manner: While ascend
ing the river on a boat the soldier
came out Of the cabin, and unthought-
edly leaned against one of the swing
ing guards, which moved, suddenly
precipitating him into the river. He
came to the surface after sinking,
wildly threw out his hands, and sank
again. After appearing on the surface
the third time, he sank and was seen
no more. The strange feature about
this death was that at the point where
this man drowned, the water was not
more than fve feet deep.
What is the use of being able to
float, when strong men will drown in
places where they might easily wade
to shore? 1t is safe to leave all float
ing experiments to the Paul Boytons.
