What particular feature of the railroad is to be discussed and condemned is not known. The funding bill has been passed by both houses of Congress and has became.a law, by which the Central Pacific railroad is to pay all its debts to the government, with interest; so there can be no political capital in that. If there could, by the way, Mr. Maguire should hare stayed in Congress, where he could look out for the people, and not songht the Governorship, where he will never have to do with funding bills.

NEVADA COUNTY'S NEW TOWN population of about 250, vut within The Mahdi’s Head. / Lonvon, September 27 .—It is repusted that Major McDonald has reached Lado where the Mubdi’s tomb is located. The body was destroyed by the English troops, the Mahdi’s head being sent to the Royal College of SurIf Necessary. Kixeston, Jamacia, September 27.— A Model Commonity Springing Up In A correspondent of the Virginia City Report says of the new town of Overton in this county about seven miles north of Truckee: It at present has a five years I will dare to say it will be the support of over 1000 people. Overton is situated, right amongst the trees and one cannot behold it until he is within a quarter of a mile of it. The trees have all been cut on the townsite as a kind of guard against lightning. The houses at present are mostly two-story buildings, but by the time snow begirs to fly we will have at least seventeen cottages’ of excellent design and beauty to add to our list. The accommodations for families are at present very limited; about forty families are compelled to live in tents and cabins. Renoville, Ragtown, as it is called, is one of our numerous suburbs. It is located to the west of town and is the. dwelling place of about fifteen families from Reno and eight or ten more. from various other places. Poplar City is the principal logging camp. It is a mile north of town and is reached by a narrow gauge railroad. On the receipt of the announcement of the victory of Commodore Dewey the town went wild and in order not to be behind the times one of our smaller logging camps changed its name from Camp Keyes to Camp Dewey. ~ ; Virginia’s well known lumber and wood man, Oliver Lonkey, has had a logging contract for two years. His camp was reached by a broad gauge railroad. His contract has just expired and he is at present engaged in logging for his own mill which is three-quarters of a mile from bere. The logs are hauled to the mill by railroad. At present they are hauled from three camps at once and it is all the logging men can do to keep the saws a-going. The logs are anloaded into a large pond of 2,000,000. feet. capacity. Two men then fioat them across toa long endless chain to be hoisted tothe mid deck. Here the rocks are all chopped out °to avoid dull saws. After being thoroughly cleaned they are rolled down to place by means of a steam kicker. Then commences thesawing. On one side is a mammoth band saw, fifty-two feet in length, while on the other side a double circular is used. Large logs are always sawed by the band saw, and small ones by the circular. As each log is finished the carriage is ran by to place, and a self-operating “nigger” places another one on. Large logs are turned over and over as if they were simply toys. A person operating the steam carriage has to be constantly on guard, for if he should once make a mistake the carriage would get away and he would be the cause of the death of two or three men. As the boards are sawed off a set of live rollers convey them to edgers to have the edges ‘squared off. From there they are conveyed to the trimmer to be sawed off in the necessary lengths. Besides a band and circular saw system, the millalso contains a gang saw. A log can be cut up into thirty boards in less than two minutes by this machine. The factory, under the management of A. French, is now in running order. It consumes and cuts into boxes over 40,000 feet of lumber a day. Of the 200 men now employed here, 100 are Nevadans, mostly from Virginia, Carson and Reno. We may as well call it home here, for one meets so difference. Taken all in all we have the coming lumber camp of California but though old Nevada is going down hill and we are going up, she will forever hold a place in our hearts which shall be considered the best of all. .

NEVADA COUNTY'S NEW TOWN population of about 250, vut within The Mahdi’s Head. / Lonvon, September 27 .—It is repusted that Major McDonald has reached Lado where the Mubdi’s tomb is located. The body was destroyed by the English troops, the Mahdi’s head being sent to the Royal College of SurIf Necessary. Kixeston, Jamacia, September 27.— A Model Commonity Springing Up In A correspondent of the Virginia City Report says of the new town of Overton in this county about seven miles north of Truckee: It at present has a five years I will dare to say it will be the support of over 1000 people. Overton is situated, right amongst the trees and one cannot behold it until he is within a quarter of a mile of it. The trees have all been cut on the townsite as a kind of guard against lightning. The houses at present are mostly two-story buildings, but by the time snow begirs to fly we will have at least seventeen cottages’ of excellent design and beauty to add to our list. The accommodations for families are at present very limited; about forty families are compelled to live in tents and cabins. Renoville, Ragtown, as it is called, is one of our numerous suburbs. It is located to the west of town and is the. dwelling place of about fifteen families from Reno and eight or ten more. from various other places. Poplar City is the principal logging camp. It is a mile north of town and is reached by a narrow gauge railroad. On the receipt of the announcement of the victory of Commodore Dewey the town went wild and in order not to be behind the times one of our smaller logging camps changed its name from Camp Keyes to Camp Dewey. ~ ; Virginia’s well known lumber and wood man, Oliver Lonkey, has had a logging contract for two years. His camp was reached by a broad gauge railroad. His contract has just expired and he is at present engaged in logging for his own mill which is three-quarters of a mile from bere. The logs are hauled to the mill by railroad. At present they are hauled from three camps at once and it is all the logging men can do to keep the saws a-going. The logs are anloaded into a large pond of 2,000,000. feet. capacity. Two men then fioat them across toa long endless chain to be hoisted tothe mid deck. Here the rocks are all chopped out °to avoid dull saws. After being thoroughly cleaned they are rolled down to place by means of a steam kicker. Then commences thesawing. On one side is a mammoth band saw, fifty-two feet in length, while on the other side a double circular is used. Large logs are always sawed by the band saw, and small ones by the circular. As each log is finished the carriage is ran by to place, and a self-operating “nigger” places another one on. Large logs are turned over and over as if they were simply toys. A person operating the steam carriage has to be constantly on guard, for if he should once make a mistake the carriage would get away and he would be the cause of the death of two or three men. As the boards are sawed off a set of live rollers convey them to edgers to have the edges ‘squared off. From there they are conveyed to the trimmer to be sawed off in the necessary lengths. Besides a band and circular saw system, the millalso contains a gang saw. A log can be cut up into thirty boards in less than two minutes by this machine. The factory, under the management of A. French, is now in running order. It consumes and cuts into boxes over 40,000 feet of lumber a day. Of the 200 men now employed here, 100 are Nevadans, mostly from Virginia, Carson and Reno. We may as well call it home here, for one meets so difference. Taken all in all we have the coming lumber camp of California but though old Nevada is going down hill and we are going up, she will forever hold a place in our hearts which shall be considered the best of all. .
