Pacific Railroad.
A correspondent writes to an Eastern
paper that the Canadian Pacific is now
completed to a point about 900 miles west
Of Winnipeg, and is being pushed through
at the rate OF two and three miles a day.
The cost Of building the road is said to be
much less than it has been for similar en-
terprises in the United States. The route
taken is about $50 miles north OF the
boundary line between the United States
and the British Possessions. and is mostly
through prairie country, where there are
very few cuts like those found on the other
Pacific roads. Labor is secured at a less
figure than in the United States. The
road 10 doing very little business at
present, although there is a passenger and
freight train run each way daily as far
west a. Moosejaw, ego miles from Winni-
peg. but the business is principally haul
ing supplies, etc., for the company.
Among the towns along the route may be
mentioned Regina, with a population Of
about 500; Medicine Hat, On the Saska-
tchewan River, and Moosejaw, from where
il ia intended to build a branch road $50
miles north to the coal fields. There is
being a great deal Of land taken up by
English companies, who are making a sec
ond Ireland OF the country in their treat
ment of those who have settled on disputed
claims. Many people are going there and
returning Disguised. The companies that
are buying up large tracts will lease only,
and in no case will they sell outright. One
| redeeming feature of the country. and the
law is said TO be strictly enforced in re
| gard to it. ia that no intoxicating liquors
are allowed in the territory, and those who
go there and make money are compelled
to keep it until they return to the more
ciyilized world.

A short time since the Holmes Mining

Esmeralda County against the Northern
Belle. alleging trespass of defendant on
plaintiffs mining claims in Columbus
Mining District at Candelaris and claim
ing damages in the sun Of So, 000, 900, for
which plaintiff ~solicits a judgment Of said
court, as well as for its bill Of costs in the
sc,ion. The defendant does not silently
admit the soft impeachment" says the
Hawthorne Herald, but by its answer filed
last Friday joins issue of facts and intends
to Eight it out on that line." Messrs.
Estee aud Boalt and r. s. Mesick are
attorneys for plaintiff, and Messrs. Gar
Der, Thornton and Bishop. Hon. Sol.
Heydenfeldt and Wells and Taylor are
attorneys for the defendant. There is
some probability that the action will be
sent to the Circuit Court Of the United
States At Carson for trial.

th- Dark River.
"Pincher" WAS q little fellow, the gene
slogy Of which we cannot trace. His
pedigree is not Of record, and maybe his
memory suffers nothing from the lack of
information as to his birth, age and stock.
He weighed only a few pounds, but had .
mighty spirit. He was bright. He had .
keen sense to tell him what humans were
his friends and his enemies. He never
recognized more than one friend at q
time. Shrewd dog. But his devotion to
one friend was always strongly marked.
His last attachment was for the senior
proprietor Of the SENTINEL, Archibald
Skillman. aud before the ~lstter's recent
departure for the Conclave, Ed. Hauser,
but since Skillman left ..Pincher'' has
been uneasy, and mayhap uncertain Of reg
ulsr grub. He was the Office pet, not be-
cause he was amiable, but because it was Q
diversion to teeze him. He snapped Wig
orously and venomously and would seem
about to swallow q big man, but he was
considered safe because he never did &C.
complish the feat OF swallowing anybody.
Poor fellow! Maybe he was hungry yes
terday and went forsging as soldiers on
short rstions are likely to do. The cruel
poisoner got him while intending doubt
less TO bring some other and less offensive
dog to extreme grief. Poor Pinch" early
in the afternoon came into the composing
room with his eyes, big for the size
Of the body, distended with pain and
appealing for help in his misery. And
there was no lack Of sympathy. The boys
all dropped their sticks" and gathered

Of oil as an ~ejector. There was no castor
or sweet oil within reach, and the emer-
gency being great. Mike Foster went for
the coal oil can. The patient did not take
kindly TO the petroleum dose, in fact he
set his teeth upon the spout Of the vessel.
We are afraid Mike gave him too much,
for though he rallied for a spell, while
George Suydam held him up for his medi-
cine, and Mitch and Bill and Jimmy and
Hughes stood by with tears in their eyes,
he evidently got more Of the physic than
he could hold. Possibly his best friends
poisoned him most. At any rate he kicked
u few times spasmodically and died. His
shroud was a piece Of stout brown paper.
As he was rolled in it the curtain fell. and
the ''preservers Of art" went back to their
cases thinking solemnly of the time when,
II ever, they would meet the departed
again. Col. Reilly. the long time friend
Of this Office, the enemy OF all ''pestilen-
tial matter" to whom nevertheless

ceased in his arms and gave him decent
burial. May none of us when we die have
nothing heavier on our souls than

and bad nothing to be responsible for.
May God III there Is q God) have mercy
on his soul.
