The work is rapidly progressing; yesterday a right of way party of Chinamen, under Messrs. Urqhart and Walsh, were busy chopping; burning and clearing at the east side of Emory creek, and in a few days will cross to the west side and soon reach the end of the road about 1000 feet below Emory. At present the Emory ravine is a camping ground. The bed of the road is ready from a mile east of Emory, except a few bridges, not yet completed, and a few rock cuts convenient to Gordon’s creek; where men are daily opening the gap. A few days since, at the work, a little west of Cemetery creek, a hole was made when a crevice was struck; Mr. McBride put in twenty-five kegs of powder and prepared his wires for a blast. Before the blast, however, was ready some scattered powder squibed and burnt his hand and the side of his neck, but nothing of a serious character. When the wire was applied a terrible upheaval took place, the quantity of rock is estimated at nearly 2000 cubic yards. This was considered the best blast along the line. Thus, daily, the course is being cleared for the rail.

Some men are busy in and about Yale. The tunnel work is being prosecuted with vigor. At west end of tunnel No. 2 two accidents occurred to-day (Thursday); Con. Herrington was somewhat injured by a piece of rock falling from the bank at the opening and Geo. Hawkins had his foot badly injured by a rock falling from car.

Yesterday a blast knocked down the 4 mile bridge, which checked travel for a few days. In that vicinity, we learn, good progress is being made. More or less work is going on along the line to vicinity of No. 6 tunnel, where a large force is at work, preparing the approaches, etc. Recently two Chinamen lost their lives, one by a piece of rock rolling down upon him, and the other by being caught by a large stone that was pushed to the edge of the hill and caught and took a Chinaman with it down the precipice killing him instantly. These two accidents caused many of the Chinamen to stop work, and they refused to remain where so much bad luck was after them. We believe the gang, thus alarmed by these accidents, will be sent further up the road. Mr. Onderdonk and Mr. Bray have been up the line, laying out work as far as Cook’s Ferry, and soon work will extend along the line fifty or sixty miles.
