The Nevada Transcrirr stated this morning that.it was reported that the Narrow Gauge Railroad Company would put on a train to make close connections at Colfax _— the East and West night trains, Our reporter interviewed Mr. Kidder, General Superintendent of the Railroad, and he informs us that no such idea is entertained. —Tidings of Wednesday. The Tzamscripr had sufficient foundation for saying that such a repor: had reached it, one of the Directors of the Narrow Gauge Company having told one of the proprietors of this paper that the change was to take place ‘‘in a few days, or as soon as the weather is settled.” Our people have been anxiously awaiting such a change, and the sooner itis made the more pleased they will be.

The re-working ot very deep and extensive old mines, which have given nse wtolite in former ‘. working. It is gri¢vous to notice how minoh has been expended for this purpose, {. during the last twenty years,in Cornwall, by distant shareholders, who have been badly advised. In the name of Fortune, what could they expect to realize? For, in the first place, they knew, or onght to have known, that the mine was poor when abandoned; secondly, that the cost for pumping out the water, preparing for hoisting, and extending the shafts and levels to discover and lay open new and profitable ground, would equal the value of a first-class mining prize; thirdly, that the chances were very much © against them; and, fourthly, that immense bunches seldom lie in very close proximity. 10. Faithless tenor of contracts; such as one, or one and a half, or two fathoms; or the month.Which means, in the first place, that at the price given per fathom, if the men should drive more than the distance (of sey one fathom) during the month—which. they should under ordinary circumstances do— the agent has the power to pnt his own price on the remaining distance driven, so as to modify the total figures, Contractsshonld give unrestricted show to the men for at least one month’s duration, whether it is for or against the mine, if you would hasten development. 11, Want of proper accommodation for men. In wet mines, every facility should be afforded the men for drying their for wet clothes endan ers their healths and make them dissatisfied, so that neither fair labor is performed, nor good men retained on the mine, There is but one kind of drying apparatus that is economi" cal for the mine, and efficient or safe for the men, which is simply a small and uncovered steam boiler which is provided with a safety valve, to give a8 i.ht pressure and prevent the escape of any vapor, us created by a fire that is too small for generating sufficient steam toescape at the valve, The fire requires very little attendance, and the exterior of the boiler will never become hot enoagh to burn the clothes. 12. Inferior hoisting machines with ehains and kibbles, or buckets, instead of iron or hemp rope, and shaft railwa. s, A large majority of the Cornish hoisting engines are those withfour valves (two for steam, and two for exh -ust), which do not cut off the steam at a part, for expansion, but carry it the whole stroke; and there is neither economy from expansion of steam, nor from the lessening of friction by the use of the superior shaft railway and rope. ehinery 3 «drawn off it was generally underssteed that it was done on account of sthe accident that happened . ‘at the ttime, weather. \We hape the Directors ‘will decile to put thet grand aceommodation ttrain onthe route again this sammer.

Deficiency of an underground hoisting machine power. Manual power for hoisting water and rock is most inadequate for the requirements of the miner; is, for the reasons given in the chapter on «Deep Mining,” it bridles expediency in general operations, and exhausts the men. 15. The evils of climbing ladders, and lack of man-engines. There has been far tvo little attention paid to the elevation of men from deep mining by mechanical power, from either want of consideration, or a kind of bravado ofagents, who can, of conrse, climb the ladders easily enougb, because it is the only exercise they get to keep them healthy, Fhe_poor miner has, however, to economize sufficient strength to enable him to reach the surface, after he has performed his laborous task of eight hours’ work; and, consequently, the amount of work done hastobe very much less than it could be if he were sure of doing hoisted to the surface, after its performance, by machine power. 16, Insufficient working capital. -Where insu ficient capitalis known to exist, the merchants charge more for the extra risk, the agents cannot buy at the cheapest market, the men do lesg work, and thé worst men can only be obtained; which, coupled with insufficient appliances, cramp all economical operations of _ market and mine. ; : 17, ~Injudicious purchases. All materials should be supplied by contract, and not be purchased from vrice-lists irrespective of fair value. ‘ 18. Merchant and s‘ore-keeping shareholders. The economical development should not be deranged because a merchant’ has contrived to become a shareholder, whether the shares be. many or bat few, as the other innocent holders are robbed in proportion to their interests, while the mine suffers to the full extent, — 19, Purser’s: er oni merchants. Sas This injurious eastion “should be deprecated; for, no matter how bad the goods may be, nor how much the practical manager s:ay deplore the fact, the fisancial wires will overturn the best public isso for _ gains, 13. Unnecessary repetition of ma. . personal property ordered. “20. Captains’ white coax,” put white jackets on agenta; for sm. mediately they heave in sight, they ". become the ‘observed of all observers,” and thus afford the very ready and more certain means for “skulking.” 21. Deficiency of effective under ground agents. In large mincs, underground shift, so as to realiy stay below, for more closely watchiog the operations “or changes of both ‘‘tut-work” (contracts on ground), and ‘‘tribute” (percentage of value). 22. The accoant honse, or office, too far away, or quite of sigh: from the operations. ( ‘The. windows of the agenta’ house ‘should command as much of the operations as possible, for it naturally keeps the operators more steadily at work, as they are fully aware that you can see them;' when they cannot see you. a The Heavens This Month. This has been a fertile month. so end is not yet. Mercury will be in conjunction with Jupiter to-murrow, ana both will set shortly after 11 o’clock in the evening, and as thereis no moon, the conjunctioa will be visible with ‘ordinary glasses, should there be a clear sky. The new “(May moon” occurs on the 17th. The birth is signa'ized by an occultation with Jupiter, at 7.24 p. m. Washington time, or 10:30 here, when the young moon is only sixteen hours old—the new-born Lena passing directly over Jupiter, hiding him. It takes a practised eye to see an occultation, but it can be seen by those who know where to look, both with eye and with a good opera-glass or-small telescope. An ordinary _occultation of a planet by the moon is a rare sight, and this.one will be a lifetime remembrance of those who witness it. All these events show . that May will be. Merguth o! of activity . in the planetary world, brilhant succession of interesting incidents-will make stargazing as delightful as it is instructive. Superior Cou rt. The following business was trans: acted in the Superior Court yesterday, Judge John Caldwell, presiding: The People vs. Maurice Penilon. Fourth day. Richard R.

If our citizens feel that ism on that day they should turn out largely and by their presence so express themselves. If they do not, there will be no celebration.

There has been far tvo little attention paid to the elevation of men from deep mining by mechanical power, from either want of consideration, or a kind of bravado ofagents, who can, of conrse, climb the ladders easily enougb, because it is the only exercise they get to keep them healthy, Fhe_poor miner has, however, to economize sufficient strength to enable him to reach the surface, after he has performed his laborous task of eight hours’ work; and, consequently, the amount of work done hastobe very much less than it could be if he were sure of doing hoisted to the surface, after its performance, by machine power. 16, Insufficient working capital. -Where insu ficient capitalis known to exist, the merchants charge more for the extra risk, the agents cannot buy at the cheapest market, the men do lesg work, and thé worst men can only be obtained; which, coupled with insufficient appliances, cramp all economical operations of _ market and mine. ; : 17, ~Injudicious purchases. All materials should be supplied by contract, and not be purchased from vrice-lists irrespective of fair value. ‘ 18. Merchant and s‘ore-keeping shareholders. The economical development should not be deranged because a merchant’ has contrived to become a shareholder, whether the shares be. many or bat few, as the other innocent holders are robbed in proportion to their interests, while the mine suffers to the full extent, — 19, Purser’s: er oni merchants. Sas This injurious eastion “should be deprecated; for, no matter how bad the goods may be, nor how much the practical manager s:ay deplore the fact, the fisancial wires will overturn the best public isso for _ gains, 13. Unnecessary repetition of ma. . personal property ordered. “20. Captains’ white coax,” put white jackets on agenta; for sm. mediately they heave in sight, they ". become the ‘observed of all observers,” and thus afford the very ready and more certain means for “skulking.” 21. Deficiency of effective under ground agents. In large mincs, underground shift, so as to realiy stay below, for more closely watchiog the operations “or changes of both ‘‘tut-work” (contracts on ground), and ‘‘tribute” (percentage of value). 22. The accoant honse, or office, too far away, or quite of sigh: from the operations. ( ‘The. windows of the agenta’ house ‘should command as much of the operations as possible, for it naturally keeps the operators more steadily at work, as they are fully aware that you can see them;' when they cannot see you. a The Heavens This Month. This has been a fertile month. so end is not yet. Mercury will be in conjunction with Jupiter to-murrow, ana both will set shortly after 11 o’clock in the evening, and as thereis no moon, the conjunctioa will be visible with ‘ordinary glasses, should there be a clear sky. The new “(May moon” occurs on the 17th. The birth is signa'ized by an occultation with Jupiter, at 7.24 p. m. Washington time, or 10:30 here, when the young moon is only sixteen hours old—the new-born Lena passing directly over Jupiter, hiding him. It takes a practised eye to see an occultation, but it can be seen by those who know where to look, both with eye and with a good opera-glass or-small telescope. An ordinary _occultation of a planet by the moon is a rare sight, and this.one will be a lifetime remembrance of those who witness it. All these events show . that May will be. Merguth o! of activity . in the planetary world, brilhant succession of interesting incidents-will make stargazing as delightful as it is instructive. Superior Cou rt.
