Show . OVEHTOX, NEVADA. Gardens are all in. Lucern is about six inches high. Fall grain looks well. The last few nights have been quite cold, and we are fearful that the early fruit is killed. We commence cleaning clean-ing our canal tomorrow. A railroad surveying party has been surveying for a road down Meadow Valley wash and have gone on to Los Vegas, where they expect to meet another an-other surveying party from California. The party from below have put the grade stakes, but the party from above have not put down grade stakes. We learn that the party from above started at the end of the track south of Elsinore, Utah. We would gladly welcome a railroad. One of our schools closed on the 10th inst., Miss Ellen E. Mills was the teacher. Miss Pearl Perkins is the teacher of the school that has not yet closed. The teachers took their pupils on an excursion to the Whitewash mountain. The mountain is about three miles southwest of here, and the trip and surrounding scenery was very interesting to the pupils. The mountain moun-tain is named from the hard white clay found there which we use for whitewashing white-washing our houses. |
