The workmen for the Nevada ‘County Narrow Gauge Railroad, at Colfax, are as thick as flies during molasses time. They are doing all ‘kinds of-work. Some are finishing up the grading for a distance beyond Wells, Fargo & Ce.’s office, where they have already commenced laying ties. On Saturday last, about two hundred yards of the track was laid, . ‘and a large gang of men are ahead ‘of the track layers pushing the work “through as rapidity as possible. The} water_tank for feeding the engines hasbeen completed, and arrange‘ments are being made to supply it ‘with water from a-spring, to which they will ran a 2% inch pipe. ‘That ‘work will be done during the week. _A large number of platform cars are put up, anda great many men are engaged in putting together the freight cars. ‘To-day workmen will commence to put tp the locomotives, and in the course of a week or 80 these iron horses will be in use to haul ties, iron, &¢., out to the workmen on the road. The work will now “begin to make a good showing, ‘and the rapidity with which. the * freight belonging to our railroad now at Colfax will be hauled away from -~“speople there that it is a matter of a very short time when the stages.and freight. wagons will not arrive and ‘depart from there, as has been the ‘case since the C. P. R. R. was com. } pleted to that point. The Bear river bridge has been completed, that isto say, al] that willbe done to it till next Spring. The ‘contract calls for the covering of the structure, but it has been thought best not to do it until all the wood work was thoroughly seasoned, and then the cov‘ering would not Le wrenched out of sehe ESN KAE TEL ARAN ME ae a Wa Sy IE ke shape. —_It-is-well they thought of; past-week.—it is certainly a most . this matter, as it would, probably, in the course of a few months, looked a little out of shape, All the work on the railroad is pregressing most ad‘mirably, with the solitary exception ‘of the tunnel at the Town Talk, It is evident to the most careless. observer that it is impossible to complete the tunnel, at the rate it is going on now,for at least three months, ‘and as a matter of course all kinds of things are being said’ prejudicial te the Directors, which are unwar‘ranted. It is common talk that the reason the tunnel is not pushed ‘through is because’ all the officers of the company, the contractor, and the largest amount of the stock is held in Grass Valley, and therefore they ‘don’t care when the tunnel is completed, because they want to have the terminus of the road at that town as long as possible, We know there is not a word of truth in the state‘ment, as the Directors have done all in their power, and taken every step they.can to have the work on the tunnel pushed through, and there is nothing left for them to do in the premises. So far as running trains to Grass Valley for a few months, we ‘do not believe it will be done, because the contract was let for the building of the road from Colfax to ‘Nevada City, aud we don’t think it dg the intention of the Directors to ‘accept itin parcels, but fer the whole route only. The contractor is as anxious to huve the work done on . time as anybody, because it will be a ‘serious damage to him if it is not accepted till after the rainy season. We don't think he wants to be re. sponsible for the—batlasting of the road, which he would necessarily have to do if it is not accepted by the company until after the heavy rains, . Many of the fills ‘will settle a great ‘deal, and it will be no small. job to repair them.

In order to show the feeling about coin in San Fraticised, we have only to relate # fact which took place last week in that great metropolis, A gentleman of this county went to ‘one of the largest banking houses, where they had a million or two of dollars ifi coin and were doing business, and had not closed their doors during the panic, ende,avored to get five thousand, dollars in .coin on nine thousand dollars worth of gold dust, and was refused. The Cashier informed him that if he stacked up bullion ten feet deep to him it was impossible to let any coi go ont of the establishment. When coinean’t ‘be had for gold. dust our people can well imagine that coin is & very scarce article; and ‘yet ignorant péople, who have money deposited with people who were never known to be without cein before, conclude their deposits are lost. To all such, we say, be: patient, and as . soqn as the money market gets a little easier, which is surely within thirty days, your claims will be paid, and all will be ruaning smoothly as ever, All the spare coin-that can be had hereabouts is daily being shipped to San Franciseo by our merchants to meet their liabilities there, The continued: ery from San Francisco is, “Send us money.”” We hope they will get enough after awhile, All the money of the coast is being + ‘The editor of this paper left here yesterday morning to visit the various towns in Bloomfield and Eureka Townships, where a large amount of mining is being catried on, When he returns our readers will have the pleasure of reading in the-Transcarrr his account of the mines in operation in that section of our county. The San Juam Times publishes the following items in regard to mining on the Ridge. It says the North Bloomfield Co’s mine, near Malakoff, will soon be in a situation to fully compensate its owners for the immense outlay of money expended by the company in opening and .developing the mine, The company are hard at work washing off the face ef the mine for the purpose of getting down to the tdnnel.
