Having at ‘last stopped the fire in that direction, the Pleasant Valley men returned home late Sunday wight, thinking 4 secure, During the night, howevér, the fire approached from a new. direction, haying been kindled by a firebrand that fell near a dead tree, and the wind having changed, The men, who were alinost worn out withthe struggle, had-to renew the fight, which was; with the fewer numbers, nore desperate than the struggle of Sunday. The house and buildings were only saved by keeping them protected-with wet blankets. Mr. the age. o.

First they com‘plain, and with reason, that the fare from this county to San Francisco is too high. The rates now charged are $10, including stage fare, which is $2 50 toColfax. The people would be perfectly satisfied in paying $6, which would amply pay the railroad company: In regard to the time table of the Railroad it would seem that the Central Pacific aims to discommode the public as much as possible. Now where is the sense in the trains being from 7 o‘clock in the morning till 514 o’clock at night fin reaching Colfax?

This matter of pa freights and fares is within the reach of State legislation, and the remedy should be obtained at the next session of the Legislature. The way to ° secure this is to select men for the Legislature who are largely identified with the county, who are known sis reliable aud -substantial citizens, men of good practical business sense, nd the end will be. secured. found the flames still raging, and sent word back to Pleasant Valley for reinforcements to ‘come up to help stop the fire. The fire in. its course destroyed the" fencing and hay of Henry Castine, formerly the Harris place, but the house was saved. The loss of Castine is from $250 to $300. The’ territory over which the fire had raged up to Monday morning, was probably about half a mile square. ‘The young timRich Strike. _ On Monday evening the Prospect Mining Company made a rich strike in the West Idahe ‘ledge, owned by the ceampany. The ledge is located two thiles below this city on Deer creek. The ledge. looks splendid, and when the discovery Was announced in Grass Valley there was great excitement. The ledge was struck ina tunnel 250 feet, with backs 275 feet. The ledge is near the Findley lédge and is so located ‘that it can be worked at very little expense, ; False.

Tus dusky maidens of the forest, . . says the Reese River Reveille, are heavy on calico, and whenever one _ of them “cleans up"' on a protracted washing job, or makes a winning at Indian peker, she rushes directly to a dry goods store and makes an_investment in calico of glaring colors.

The Sacraimente Union, of Monday, contains the following among, its items of ‘‘news of the motning?’ The Republican _ ary election, held at'Novada City, July 19th, zesulted in the election of anti-railroad delegates to the County Convention. A large vote was’ polled, and there was quite a contest. It will be borne inmind that Nevada is: Sargent’s own home. ‘ It is said that a drowning nan will catch at straws, and the ‘‘Union,”’ knowing the hopelessness of destroying the Republican. party resorts to ‘falsehoods to sustain iis cause. We ‘did not propose to have one word to say upon the subject of politics until the tickets had beén placed in the the selection of candidates; but when a paper like the ‘‘Union” goes out of the people here, it is our duty to repel the insult heaped” upon the ticket which was defented in this city on Saturday last. The election settled one matter, and one only; that was, that. the Republicans preference for Sheriff was E. O. Tompkins: Neither the senatorial or the railroad question had any part in the contest. It was simply a fight for the nomination of Sheriff, and we regard it as most contemptible on the part of the “Union’’ to brand the: defeated ticket, composed of some of our very best citizens, as railroad men. They were not aware that it was a railroad fight until they were apprised of it in the columns of that paper. It is true the ‘‘Union’’ endeavored to force the senutorfal. and railroad question into our local fight here,butthe people, knowing the character of the ‘ proprietors and: editors of: the “Union,”’ refused to be led by the nose by such a disreputable crowd, and therefore the issué was made solely: on the office of Sheriff. There is no paper published on this coast that is such a stench asthe “Union.” We ask any candid man to read the names of the citizens upon the ticket for ‘Thes. Mein for Sheriff, and then if. he dares, say that. ticket which was defeated was composed of railroad men, and yet such is the statement of the *‘Union.”’ ity State Items.

The Sacraimente Union, of Monday, contains the following among, its items of ‘‘news of the motning?’ The Republican _ ary election, held at'Novada City, July 19th, zesulted in the election of anti-railroad delegates to the County Convention. A large vote was’ polled, and there was quite a contest. It will be borne inmind that Nevada is: Sargent’s own home. ‘ It is said that a drowning nan will catch at straws, and the ‘‘Union,”’ knowing the hopelessness of destroying the Republican. party resorts to ‘falsehoods to sustain iis cause. We ‘did not propose to have one word to say upon the subject of politics until the tickets had beén placed in the the selection of candidates; but when a paper like the ‘‘Union” goes out of the people here, it is our duty to repel the insult heaped” upon the ticket which was defented in this city on Saturday last. The election settled one matter, and one only; that was, that. the Republicans preference for Sheriff was E. O. Tompkins: Neither the senatorial or the railroad question had any part in the contest. It was simply a fight for the nomination of Sheriff, and we regard it as most contemptible on the part of the “Union’’ to brand the: defeated ticket, composed of some of our very best citizens, as railroad men. They were not aware that it was a railroad fight until they were apprised of it in the columns of that paper. It is true the ‘‘Union’’ endeavored to force the senutorfal. and railroad question into our local fight here,butthe people, knowing the character of the ‘ proprietors and: editors of: the “Union,”’ refused to be led by the nose by such a disreputable crowd, and therefore the issué was made solely: on the office of Sheriff. There is no paper published on this coast that is such a stench asthe “Union.” We ask any candid man to read the names of the citizens upon the ticket for ‘Thes. Mein for Sheriff, and then if. he dares, say that. ticket which was defeated was composed of railroad men, and yet such is the statement of the *‘Union.”’ ity State Items.
