cts to the Gold Mines
We announced yesterday merning that the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway was compile
ted, and regular passenger trains will probably
run over the entire line in connection with the
Chicago, Burlington d Quincy Railway during
the present week. The Burlington and Missou-
ri Railway have also arrangements made to run
in connection with the Western Stage Compa-
ny, through line direct to the new gold fields.
There can be no doubt that large emigration IS
soon to move westward, and we give our read
ers all the facts at command, so that those who
wish to 90 may select the route best suited to
their wishes and convenience.
The Hannibal and St. 10. Railway will land
passengers some four or FIVE hundred miles
above st. Louis, in twenty-six hours from Chi.
cago Regular fare sly. For parties of fifty
or upwards a reduction of 81 on each passen-
ger win be made. By reference to an advertise
ment in another column, it will be seen that
John NJ. Hockiday d Co, [present carriers of the
Salt Lake and Cherry Greek Mai) will run q
line of daily stages from st. Joseph and Atchi-
son to the gold mines, and that the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railway will be author
lied to ticket passengers from Chicago to the
mines for Sll9, including board, west of the
MISSOURI liver. MeSsIs- dOCklQay q TO- nave
made the distance to Salt Lake from the Mis-
souri, river in fifteen days, and state that they
will convey passengers through from Atchi-
son, Kansas, to the mines in ten days. Their
line will be stocked with covered coaches and
run with six mules to each coach. Relay sta
tions are to be established every twenty miles.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Co. will sell by this line six tickets per day
through to the mines. -
In addition to this line, Messrs. Challis &
Co., of Atchison, will start every ten days, be-
ginning the lst of April, an ox-team express
from Atchison, by which passengers will be
ticketed through from the Missouri river, and
boarded, for S50-making from Chicago $50 to
the mines An unlimited number of tickets can
be sold by this line. By this arrangement the
baggage of the men will only be carried, with
the women and children and such as happen TO
be sick. Time thirty days. For the conven-
ience of those who may want TO furnish their
outfit here, including teams, arrangements have
been made to take teams, wagons, and all the
incidentals for au outfit, from Chicago to St.
Joseph, at $40 per car, in quick time, and one
man will be passed free to take care of horses,
etc. There can be no question but that this will
be popular and expeditions route.

which prominent gentleman of this city is
member, to run line of stages through from

by this route, taking stage at Agency City, via
Des Moines.
We have now three prominent lines from this
city whose arrangements are perfected to ac-
comm odate the rush for Pixies Peak however
great it may be. The news from all quarters
seems to indicate large emigration, and we
sincerely hope that gold enough will be found
to reward all who go. To accomplish SO desir-
able an object, will take very considerable
"pile" of the shining dust. From all the facts
before him, let each one judge for himself,
whether it is there, and whether he has the en-
ergy to find his share Chicago Press.
