Railroad Items.

We learn from plrtles just Ill fIom th' Needles, that work has been suspended O. the bridge for the present. Fifteen of 5h, men have been retained, however, to keel the ends that ara still standing clear iron driftwood.
 It is rumOred that ths railroad company intend to commence tke build ng of pes manent structure about the 18th inst. | will take some three months to complete 1t.
 Al! passengers snd freight are at preseu transported across tha Colorado river ai the Needles by ferryboat. This will prob ably continue until the permanent bridge le finished.
 During the high water, crossing the Col or1do has been attended With considerable danger, but as the water recedss, the danger IS .sdrced to small item, and ths passage can be accomplished in much less time.
 Passengers now have to Jay over at the crossing of the Colorado rlver some twenty two hours. This could be easily rsEnidied by the trains making closer connections,
 Some oon12!siRt has been made regarding freight charges cn tho I, < P. railroad. The time is coming wheA a lively eoLnpe- tition will be iuauSurAted by the two roads --one to get the business of Northern Arr zons for the East, and the other to retain ii for California.

X Rich Mine Under Poor Nds H.
 agcment.

Dr. Brown in opening up the Keystone mine has struck body of ore iL the one hundre4 and fifty foot level of the width Of three and half feet, which assays between 53ia ana a251. The men working ill this m.ge say there is no better mlne in the dis trict, and vet under ths present manage: ment not d single ounea of bullion has yet been produced. This would not seem strange if the company had no mill at its command But 1t has and good one, too. One in which the most refractory ores of the district have been successfully worked. It may ply to work two men in 2 mine ke this. but it would be hard to convince any miner, who knows the mine, of 1t. An il. lustration of the management of this mine We give to show how thoroughly couVer- sant with mining matters the present su- perintendent IS: short time since four men were working in drift, with one long drill between them, and the one who fin ished with the short drlll first took the long one and the others waited until he got through To manage mine. so that while o1s miner works three others can take a quiet smoke, is the acme of economy and prosperity.

Though the path that your foot now traces
Has wandered away, no doubt,
From tbs smooth and iiowery places
Where carly you started out:
Though the vessel that bears your treasure
Makes grievOusly long defRy, =
Let patience all up her measure,
And walt-till some other day.
Some other day viii be brighter
Than this that u fun Of gloom.
Tho clouds In the sky be lighter,
The roses In perfect bloom;
And the trials that now perpiex you,
The thorns that beset your way,
Will have no power to vex you.
6 Perchance, on some other day.
Though now you are passing under
Tho rod that is harsh. yet kind,
Some other day you will wonder.
How you could have been 80 blind

The sign OF the promise spoken
Atthe darkest hour OF the day.

BLAKE's WIDOW.


~ DLAKE'S WIDOW.
Jem Blake was shot dead in his owl
doorway by Antonio Gueldo, and thu
trial was to come off directly.
The extraordinary interest in the affail
was less due to the murder and its pecu
liar circumstances than to the fact tha
this was the first case tried at San Sabs
in any more formal court than the time
honored institution Of Judge Lynch.
As there was no place specially ar.
ranged for the trial. Judge Pitbladc
Hospitality offered the use Of his shed.
Here rough table and chair were placed
for the Judge, the other necessary furni-
ture, intended to represent the dock, the
stand. ETC., being eked out with boxes
from Silas Baggetfs grocery store.
Jake Smith looked at these prepara-
tions for time with frowning .discon-
tent. and then strOlled down the road.

When he reached the door of the shanty
he leaned against tho jamb and poked

Attacked by MusIrats.
ChaTl0tte IN. O.l Obserr.r.


An extraordinary battle occurred
in Charlotte the other night between
a citizen, aided by two policemen, and
gang Of muskrats. Charlie Fox was
going to his home, and, when feeling
for the gate in the dark, something
jumped at his legs and nabbed his
brooches, Looking down, he saw a
number of small eyes sparkling like
diamonds. He could not imagine
what they were, aud, kicking them
from his legs, hoped over the fence,
hurried to the house and came back,
with a lighted lamp and a stick,
Hardly had he reached the spot be-
fore the hungry. animals once more
attacked his legs. He knocked one,
and as he did so his light went out
and he beat a hasty retreat and hunted
the police. The officers got lamp and
proceeded to the scene, and when
they reached the place they had to do
battle, One big fellow, who was evi
IDENTIFY president OF the body, as his
immense size would indicate, made a
jump at Officer Blaokwelder, who
struck at it with his club bur missed
bis aim The same one then jumped
on Officer Boyle, who was more sue.
oessful in the use Of his club, and
killed it by blow on the head. 7
officers knocked right aud left,
