STARTING TIE INDUSTRY.
ormsby Gypsum is Being Forwarded
to Oakland for Manufacture.

The new gypsum plant that has
been completed at Emeryville near
Oakland, Cal, by Carson people, is
about to begin the manufacture of
the refined product at that city. Yes
terday two carloads OF the raw ma
terial was shipped from Mound House
and passed through this city on the
way to the factory Ed. Regan has
started to haul for a steady supply
and from this time on there will DO
steady shipments from the quarry.
Mr. Hare, who has had the manage
ment Of the Adams plant for several
years, departed last evening for the
new works, where he will assume the
superintendency. He7is probably the
best man in the business that has been
employed BY Mr.. Adams, and before
ne left Mr. Adams employ, he instruc-
ted another man who will be able 10
keep up the standard of the plaster
that is being manufactured at the EN-
go
pire plant
While the two Quarries are close TO-
gether, yet they will not interfere with
each other. Mr.. Adams has one of the
finest deposits Of gypsum on the coast
while the new quarry promises to be
Just a. good in every particular. With
the starting Of the new quarry, en-
ployment will be found for a number
Of men. The gypsum has to be quar-
ried, and when hauled to the station
where It is loaded. This all means the
: employment Of help and that makes
pay days, the one institution that
makes a settlement. AS Carson money
is invested and her .people, are EN-
ployed, it seems that the new industry
is among the many that is to bring
about the wave of prosperity that
seems to be lowering In this neck o1
the woods.

SEVERAL MADE HAPPY,
A Dividend That Comes at the Riqh

OF this city. The cash comes in handy
at this season of the year, and is pro-

company to declare a dividend and has
built tower of confidence in the Tono

planned without cash output such as

Carson is like most of the cities OF
the State. The people are willing to
to take chance in a stock gambling
affair, and the amount Of Carson mo.

the stocks Of the mines would figure
in many thousands Of dollars Natd.

interest added, and the fact that one

gun was pushed to the crest and with
some imperfect shell and few round
shot found in the chest McClelland
opened a slow fire upon the marching
column of Federals and sent couriers
to Stuart for help.
The sudden fire from the hill was as
much a surprise to the commander OF

Gregg, as Davis encounter with the
Virginia cavalry had been to Buford
at Beverly's ford. Gregg had not seen
a Confederate on his march up from

cool and steady firing deceived Gregg.
He might have taken the hill with a
squadron at the outset, for there was
no one to oppose excepting the major
and a battery officer with a few men
at the howitzer.
Stuart was also incredulous over Nc
