The PIacervllle Extension.

On account of the recent heavy rains
and general bad weather, work on the new
road between Shingle Springs and Placer
vile has been considerably delayed. How
ever, men are now working, and the track
mas been laid as far as Weber creek. This
part was first completed so that the timber
which is necessary in building the large
bridge might be hauled TO its destination
on the cars. The trestle over the creek is
almost built, but it will require about two
weeks more to put up the spans and the
heavy timbers. Superintendent ellis says
that it is his opinion it will take fully
six weeks, more to completely nnish the
work, and maybe longer if the weather is
unfavorable.
The railroad company has determined to
build fine depot at Placeryille.
