Transcript: Thinking a few items frorn this part of the Sounty would not come amiss, and having a stormy, dpy:! before me, I thought -I cofild devoteit to no better puzpose than writing you upthe news. Yesterday tbe ladies were out in full force, displaying their pinbacks, and as a consequence last night it clpuded up and we had the first show storm of the season.” This morning the ground is covered to, the depth of a fvot, with more. coming,. Our business men are jubilant over the bright prospects ahead, and we doubt if there is a town in the State with brighter prospects in view than this little burg. As stormy weather has set in, pedro and poker will ran high. It is no uncommon sight to see twenty dollar pieces. ased for ““‘bueks”’ in a little game of poker, just for pastime, and it is amusing to see with what recklessness the boys will give each other nine on a hand when they -have a stranger in’ the game. The girls, since the storm, have laid aside their pull backs, and taken to blue stockings, elastie for garters, and linsey woolsey dresses. Our miners have got ina splendid season’s work, and of course money is plenty. ‘The Blue Bank Company have opened a new set of claime, and will run two sets of claims from this on. When in full-blast will work 50 of 60 men. The Boston Company have’ got their tunnel completed, the shaft raised, and fumes all in, and will soon commence operations; they will work 40 men. The X. I. X: Co., will fit up their mine as soon as possible; they wil’ work their ground through the Boston tunnel, and will employ 30 or 40 men. ‘The Oriental Company are levyingassessments to run a branch tunnel from the Blue Bank Co’s., tunnel; they will employ, when in running order, 30 men. The Illinois company have shut dewn for a short tim’, and are making preparations to drift ‘the ground. This company work from 30 to 40 men,and it is one of our best paying mines, and whether sluiced or drifted, will pay big dividends. The Eagle Company are preparing to open up their claims: When in working order they employ. from 30 to40 men. The Blue Gravel Company, a San Francisco corporation, have commenced work on a big scale, prospecting for the blue lead. They have put up two splendid . buildings, and have got their machinery in and undercover. They have sunk their. shaft seventy-five feet, and are now preparing to .put in pump and hoisting machinery, The shaft is 16 feet in length by 8 in width, and it ‘is estinmated that it will have to be sunk to the @epth of two hundred and fifty feet to strike bed rock. They employ. 20 men at present, bat will increase their force to 40 men in a few days. It is conceded by all that this shaft is being sunk in the right place, and there is no ‘doubt: in the mipds of practical miners but what they will strike the blue lead. This shaft would have been sunk years ago but for the want of capital; — parties holding the ground being unable te develop it. ** More anon. F, M. Tue Washington Capital does not like McCullough’s acting, as the ‘fol. lowing extracts’ will show: P _ “We regret exceedingly to announce the fact that while Mr. Me. Cullough is a magnificent -reader, a clever geutleman and handsome man, he is net a great actor. Indeed, it would be nearer the truth to say that he isa very medicore actor. and generally speaking, with the exception of his Richelieu and Hamlet, stands at the foot of the class of star performers. : McCullough is too small for.a Forrest and too large for a Booth; he is betwixt and between them both, and being so, much below either. McCullough was a pupil of Forrest's and is an imitater of the great excel, or to equal bis disciple, must imitate his master closely enough to parallel him, if be doesn’t surpas§. To fall below ig the most painful feature of the business of imitation. Still, he is the only representative of Forrest we have. reflection in a pale mirror, with much of the quicksilver worked off the back. This fuct of his representing our ancient stand-by, added to his personal accomplishment asa companion, do much to insure him the popularity he has gained.” _ te Bridgeport ‘Shipped ~-6;000 pounds of mushrooms.to San .Franciseo last week, the wholesale price beiug ten cents a pound. &e Tux Visalia Times will commence a daily evening issue’ on Monday . wext, } -American war-horse; but failing to} fails utterly. One to We.a successful Tut San Francisco Alta says; Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, who are giving the magnificent spectacle of “Henry thé F.fth’’ in all the principil cities of the United States, have determined to try the éxperiment of making the speed of 40 miles an hour across the continent in a special train chartered to transport the properties, scetiery and peformers to San Franciseo, Mr, Jarrett who isa thorough railroad man, made the calcuJations,-found the plen feasible if the venture would justify the expense, obtained the coiisent of his partner and the concurrenee of Mr. Jobn McCullough, who shares im the profits and expenses of the enterprise in California, and made propesals to the railroad’ companies, whieh bave been accepted, as we learn from the East, and in June the train to make the trip across the continent in eighty hours will start tbind! And the reason for making’ the experiment is very sensible, To produce the tragedy as it has been presented in Booth’s Theatre and elséwhere requires the transportation of an immense quaatity of material and a large troupe ef performers, most of thensbrought from London and Phrisexpressly for this play; the cost for freight and fares on the ordinary trains, added to the days, will equal the amount necessary to be paid for the privilege of running a special traim on three days’ time, with only three days’ salary to pay. For the eelat to be gdined by the enterprise Mr, McCullough expresses a willingness to contribute a liberal sum and Messrs. Jarrets & Palmer take the risk on the rest. A few friends will’be permitted. to participate in the eighty hour. trip across the continent, which will undoubtedly stand for many years as a marvel of fast riding for such a long distance. >t s Press has satisfactory assurance that Senator Jones and Jay Gould have clasped hands across the cavern between Southern California and Utah, and are quietly operating together continental railroad which will. give the Union Pacific an outlet to tide water in Southern California. The construction of the Los. Angles and Independent Railroad with.Santa Monica for the seaport terminus will line, and Senator Jones will soon reseme the work of construeting the .te Los Angeles and will push on to San Bernardino, the cost of building the road being paid by Senator Jones out of his own resources, as fast as.it is built. There is not a dollar of imdebtedness on the.road from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, now completed and in operation. The Press is also informhed that Jay Gould bas purchased a controlling interest in the Southern Utah Railroad ‘and will push that road on: to completion, meeting Senator Jones on /bis way to Independence.

Our business men are jubilant over the bright prospects ahead, and we doubt if there is a town in the State with brighter prospects in view than this little burg. As stormy weather has set in, pedro and poker will ran high. It is no uncommon sight to see twenty dollar pieces. ased for ““‘bueks”’ in a little game of poker, just for pastime, and it is amusing to see with what recklessness the boys will give each other nine on a hand when they -have a stranger in’ the game. The girls, since the storm, have laid aside their pull backs, and taken to blue stockings, elastie for garters, and linsey woolsey dresses. Our miners have got ina splendid season’s work, and of course money is plenty. ‘The Blue Bank Company have opened a new set of claime, and will run two sets of claims from this on. When in full-blast will work 50 of 60 men. The Boston Company have’ got their tunnel completed, the shaft raised, and fumes all in, and will soon commence operations; they will work 40 men. The X. I. X: Co., will fit up their mine as soon as possible; they wil’ work their ground through the Boston tunnel, and will employ 30 or 40 men. ‘The Oriental Company are levyingassessments to run a branch tunnel from the Blue Bank Co’s., tunnel; they will employ, when in running order, 30 men. The Illinois company have shut dewn for a short tim’, and are making preparations to drift ‘the ground. This company work from 30 to 40 men,and it is one of our best paying mines, and whether sluiced or drifted, will pay big dividends. The Eagle Company are preparing to open up their claims: When in working order they employ. from 30 to40 men. The Blue Gravel Company, a San Francisco corporation, have commenced work on a big scale, prospecting for the blue lead. They have put up two splendid . buildings, and have got their machinery in and undercover. They have sunk their. shaft seventy-five feet, and are now preparing to .put in pump and hoisting machinery, The shaft is 16 feet in length by 8 in width, and it ‘is estinmated that it will have to be sunk to the @epth of two hundred and fifty feet to strike bed rock. They employ. 20 men at present, bat will increase their force to 40 men in a few days. It is conceded by all that this shaft is being sunk in the right place, and there is no ‘doubt: in the mipds of practical miners but what they will strike the blue lead. This shaft would have been sunk years ago but for the want of capital; — parties holding the ground being unable te develop it. ** More anon. F, M. Tue Washington Capital does not like McCullough’s acting, as the ‘fol. lowing extracts’ will show: P _ “We regret exceedingly to announce the fact that while Mr. Me. Cullough is a magnificent -reader, a clever geutleman and handsome man, he is net a great actor. Indeed, it would be nearer the truth to say that he isa very medicore actor. and generally speaking, with the exception of his Richelieu and Hamlet, stands at the foot of the class of star performers. : McCullough is too small for.a Forrest and too large for a Booth; he is betwixt and between them both, and being so, much below either. McCullough was a pupil of Forrest's and is an imitater of the great excel, or to equal bis disciple, must imitate his master closely enough to parallel him, if be doesn’t surpas§. To fall below ig the most painful feature of the business of imitation. Still, he is the only representative of Forrest we have. reflection in a pale mirror, with much of the quicksilver worked off the back. This fuct of his representing our ancient stand-by, added to his personal accomplishment asa companion, do much to insure him the popularity he has gained.” _ te Bridgeport ‘Shipped ~-6;000 pounds of mushrooms.to San .Franciseo last week, the wholesale price beiug ten cents a pound. &e Tux Visalia Times will commence a daily evening issue’ on Monday . wext, } -American war-horse; but failing to} fails utterly. One to We.a successful Tut San Francisco Alta says; Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, who are giving the magnificent spectacle of “Henry thé F.fth’’ in all the principil cities of the United States, have determined to try the éxperiment of making the speed of 40 miles an hour across the continent in a special train chartered to transport the properties, scetiery and peformers to San Franciseo, Mr, Jarrett who isa thorough railroad man, made the calcuJations,-found the plen feasible if the venture would justify the expense, obtained the coiisent of his partner and the concurrenee of Mr. Jobn McCullough, who shares im the profits and expenses of the enterprise in California, and made propesals to the railroad’ companies, whieh bave been accepted, as we learn from the East, and in June the train to make the trip across the continent in eighty hours will start tbind! And the reason for making’ the experiment is very sensible, To

produce the tragedy as it has been presented in Booth’s Theatre and elséwhere requires the transportation of an immense quaatity of material and a large troupe ef performers, most of thensbrought from London and Phrisexpressly for this play; the cost for freight and fares on the ordinary trains, added to the days, will equal the amount necessary to be paid for the privilege of running a special traim on three days’ time, with only three days’ salary to pay. For the eelat to be gdined by the enterprise Mr, McCullough expresses a willingness to contribute a liberal sum and Messrs. Jarrets & Palmer take the risk on the rest. A few friends will’be permitted. to participate in the eighty hour. trip across the continent, which will undoubtedly stand for many years as a marvel of fast riding for such a long distance.. >t s Press has satisfactory assurance that Senator Jones and Jay Gould have clasped hands across the cavern between Southern California and Utah, and are quietly operating together continental railroad which will. give the Union Pacific an outlet to tide water in Southern California. The construction of the Los. Angles and Independent Railroad with.Santa Monica for the seaport terminus will line, and Senator Jones will soon reseme the work of construeting the .te Los Angeles and will push on to San Bernardino, the cost of building the road being paid by Senator Jones out of his own resources, as fast as.it is built.. There is not a dollar of imdebtedness on the.road from Santa Monica to Los Angeles, now completed and in operation. The Press is also informhed that Jay Gould bas purchased a controlling interest in the Southern Utah Railroad ‘and will push that road on: to completion, meeting Senator Jones on /bis way to Independence.
