The above will undoubtedly come as

GRADING COR THE ROAD.
Work on the Valley Rod Begun in
Carson Valley.

Some very decided steps in the con-
struction Of the valley railroad are
now being taken. On Monday the
Dangberg Land and Livestock Co., be-
gan grading along the right Of way
in the vicinity of The sheep camp.
For this purpose they have brought
the immense traction engine into ser
vice. This is the engine which was
purchased by the company few years
ago. and was proved impracticable for
general farm purpose on account of
its bulk. For the work at hand it
seems to answer admirably and every
day this week it mas been steaming
about, drawing behind it machinery
for pulling cage brush, filling in dit
ches, etc, and has already accomplish
ed very noticeable amount of work.
This fact coupled with the arrival If
ties and rails and other construction
supplies in Carson would indicate that
the people of this valley will very
soon be blessed with the greatest of
modern enterprises.
We learn from very reliable source
that the parties interested in the Car
son box factory are making prepara-
tons to enlarge the capacity of their
plant and this would indicate that they
must expect to be supplied with lumber
from some locality. 1t is well known
that the V. & T. company have very
extensive lumber interests in Alpine
county and 1t is only reasonable to
suppose that the box factory will be
/ supplied from this source. The ques-
ton now arises, will the line of the
new railroad. stop at Gardnerville, d.
will it continue on to Alpine county
| If it stops here does it not look rs
though saw mills will be built here Or
in this vicinity? In other words has
not Gardnerville a very bright fu-
ture? The Carson people seem to fe 81
that their own town is to be greatly
benefited by the advent of the new
road, but if the line extends only t
Gardnerville their hopes hardly seem
justified This town will become tn.

MINING IN LITTLE VALLEY.
Concessions Granted by the Virginia
Water Company.

|
Albert Werner and associates have
secured concession from the Virginia
Water Company to mine in Little
Valley. This is the first time that the
company has allowed the mining peo-
pie to use their land for mining pur-
poses. 1t is understood that the min
ing is on royalty scheme and that
the parties can also prospect for
quartz
1t is known fact that some very
rich placer mines exist in the valley.
During the early settlement of this
section some very rich ground was
uncovered and mined with paying re-
suits. Several very large nuggets
have been found in he section, while
some exceedingly rich float has been
picked up from time to time.
The story of the Barley mine is
also we'll known in this section, and
this alone is enough to excite the aver
age man to hunt over the ground
when concession has been granted.
There seems to DE no doubt but that
Barley has found some very rich ore
in the section, but he has refused to
state where it comes from and the
company has not been able to nego
! tate deal with him.
/ With a crew of prospectors in he
section who are licensed to work
on any and all of the ground that is
owned by the company. it is more
than likely that something is bound tc
/ happen, and if the mineral is there
| that has been claimed it is almost q
! certainty that il will be uncovered and
shown to the world and benefits viii

and float that is known to exist there

After ordering the messenger out the
robber, who had about rs pounds Of
dynamite, blew the safe open in the
express car. shattering the side of the
car and blowing the door off the safe.
After the discharge Of the third explo-
sion the robber forced Engineer Will
son to crawl in the car ahead of him
and the messenger to follow. AS soon
as they were in the car the bandit
forced Engineer Wilson to strike a
match, and as he did this, Engineer
Wilson saw Express Messenger Laub
ready to hit the robber with piece of
broken car. Wilson Immediately blew
the match out and the express mes
senger struck the robber and knocked
him out. The robber was not killed.

was not badly damaged and went
through on the run. No valuables
were taken and the passengers were
not disturbed. At one o'clock Sunday

seious.
The railway company has wired to
Engineer Wilson and Express Messen-
ber Laub congratulations. and will i'm
mediately mail each man check for

ices.
