The RAILROAD IA. WALKERS Pass
Speaking of this new railroad project, the
Reese River ReueiM says:
In running from the Western Pacific. it
would course the. valley Of the San Jos-
ouin to near the head of that river, then
the rich Tulare valley, the mines in the
%neighborhood of Walkers Pass. as Kern
river, Clear creek, and other districts
near, the mines Of Owens river, and many
others on the eastern slope of the Sierras
in California then the mines Of ESme-
ralda and Nye counties, and Lander
county south Of Austin. In the track Of
the railroad are farming timber and min.
ing lands unsurpassed in the world tor
their native wealth. The mining regions
are not confined to those of gold and
silver, but iron, copper, lead, sulphur and
salt abound in the greatest abundance.
With q railroad running through the
country, every resource could be brought
TO use, and many sources Of wealth not
now known would be brought to light.
In the Walkers Pass are some Of the
largest copper veins in the world, and iron
ore is found in many places in great guam
titles, and of a very high percentage.
These, which Of themselves would enrich
a State, are valueless without the railroad,
and would almost if not quite, justify the
building q road to them alone. The Pass
proposed 10 be used is n Of the most
favorable in the mountains, and was at
one time thought the only one by which
a railroad could cross. The advantages
of 4 road in that section are not the pass
alone butthe natural wealth Of the country.
We trust no false hopes are raised by the
announcement of this new project. It is
a grand idea. worthy the attention OF
capitalists and the bounty of the Govern:
ment,

joining valleys. The trees are perfectly
loaded and the branches breaking down
with the rosy checked specimens, notwith-
standing "cords Of props" are staked in
support throughout the Territory: or
apples the crop seems Il be fair. and they
are selling for a lower figure than We have
heard of for a long time. Plums. except
the wild ones, are not very plentiful yet,
but the indications are that the current
hot weather will bring them to ripeness
earlier than usual. One thing is remark
able in raising crops in these yalleys-our
poorest bench lands will bring crops Of
wheat which would in some localities be
considered pretty fair, while the rocky
portions will bring peaches, loads Of them,
and probably grapes just as freely If it
wal tried.-SaH Lake Telegraph.

RAILaoAp.-A San Francisco cores

RAILnoAD.-A San Francisco cores
pendent of the Carson Appeal writes:
~ see that you are stirring up the
Dutch Flat concern. There is much feel
ing of indignation among our business
people here with regard to Bragg, who,
they think, not only played false to Nc
Lane, in selling out the Sacramento Valley
Road to its enemies. but did a g~rievous
wrong to the community. One good re-
suit is attained by this act, however. The
capitalists Of San Francisco, as far as they
can be aroused to any feeling upon a
public measure. have been awakened to a
spiri, Of opposition to Sacramento as the
California center Of a railroad system.
They are beginning to see the necessity
for such action as shall make San Fran
ciso the c~onverging point of the various
tracks that are TO direct the steam horse
with his burdens of freight and pnssen-
gers. This state of feeling ausurs favora-
bly, for the proposed route via Rio Vista
and Latrobe, avoiding Sacramento, and
putting Placerville and the State Of Me-
vada in the most direct communication
with the Bay. So, I may say, for once,
the interests of San Francisco and Silver
land are Identical"

RAILROAD FAREs.-Speaking of the
proposed increase Of railroad fares deter
mined upon, as per the Sacramento Bee
announcement, By Croker s Stanford,
the Placerville Mirror says:
1.-The tariff is now full ten cents per
mile for passengers. which is the limit
allowed by law. They either intend to
have the law changed, or while they talk
Of passenger fares they mean to double
the rates for freight. Let Stanford s. Co.
get full control. and the merchants Of
Nevada, as well as elsewhere, will be at
their mercy"

"HO-JOw

There are q new class Of operators now
in our midst, who are following the ex-
ample set by the San Francisco sharps OF
former days, and are locating claims in
the moon or some other sky.high locality,
and calling i, Reese River. They have
seen that this section was drawing atten :
| ton in New York. and believing them
selves a little the smartest men of the hu-
man race, have fastened on here and are
playing their game. 1t is very good for
| the Recorder, making business for him /; is
also good for the saloons and gambling
tables, for they are on the sport, but they
will catch out some Eastern cove It is
feared hat such proceedings will be very
damaging to the mining interests of this
section. Those who are duped will prob
ably raise their voice against the mines
and deter others from investing, but those
| of intelligence who have means to develop
our great will disregard their
cries, Knowing that the same game is
| PLAYED in all branches Of business where
the promise of gain is great. While we
despise such swindlers, and deprecate the
evil effects their operations may have, we
do not wish to damn our prospects Of get
ting capital from abroad by the continual
cry Of wildcat. There are opportunities
here for investments Of the first class, and
capitalists need only exercise their usual
! precautions Of business men to save them
selves from the swindler.-Ree,e Rirer

Oh no q! there amt any wildcats in the
Reese River country! They are all in

been denouncing the encouragement Of
wildcat corporations in London, founded
upon imaginary mines in the Reese River
country, and being roundly abused for so
loing by the RsreiRe, the truth is gradu-
ally coming forth, and the merit Of our
deaunciations acknowledged. We agree
with the RereiRs that there are mines of
merit in the Reese River country, and ex-
cellens opportunities for good investments,
when prudently made; but there will be
a most damaging recoil upon that section
before a year rolls around. on the Wild

TIE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

The unexpectedly large gain Of the Lib
eral party in the late Parliamentary cleo
tons in England is the subject of extensive
comment by the British press. There was
no exciting issue involved in the elections,
no question calculated to produce any
material change in the public mind, and
the rapid increase Of Liberal strength,
under these circumstances, is a problem
that seems to perplex the English poll
ticians. There is a cause, however, and a
very good one. for this stunning rebuff
that the Tory party has just received. The
influence of the late war in this country
has been felt in the English elections.
The triumph of free government on this
continent has strengthened the hands OF
liberalism everywhere, and its first fruits
abroad are thus appearing in England.
l. is true that, as a party, the English
Liberals did not espouse the cause of the
North in its late contest with rebellion.
On the contrary, many of the prominent
lights in that party were conspicuous enc
mics of the Union cause. But it is a well
known fact that the Tory party were
unanimous in their denunciation of the
North, and that the only friends we have
in England were of the Liberal class. It
is also true that, as a party, the English
Liberals are not strictly in favor Of politi-
cal liberty. They are favorable to mon
archy, believe in the necessity Of royalty.
and would not, in the present state
of their Reform creed, be willing to
endorse republicanism. The Liberals
differ from the Tories or Conservatives
in this respect: The Liberals are the
progressive party of England. They are
the authors of nearly all the great reforms
that have circumscribed royalty; they be-
live in the largest liberty compatible with
monarcy, and thy tendency of their teach
inss is clearly toward republicanism.
Every reform movement that they inaugu-
rate is aimed to curtail the powers of the
crown, and add them to those Of the peo-
pie. Through their efforts, British on
archy has already become only nominal
the Queen Of England to-day has no more
constitutional power than the President Of
the United States, and it is therefore evil
dent that the Liberals are doing as much
for republican governments as if they were
its avowed advocates. The principles Of
political reform which the English Liberals
seek to inculcate are substantially those
that we in this country uphold. In many
respects our Government is the guide and
standard for Liberal doctrines in England.
furnishing precedents and establishing
truths that in course of time are brought
forward as English reforms. Under these
circumstances. the signal success Of our
Government in maintaining and vindica-
ting the principles of liberalism would
necessarily have an important effect in aid
ing the reform cause in England. The
interests of republicanism here are the in
terests of liberalism there, and while there
is apparently a wide breach between the
two causes, both tend in the same direc-
ton - that of taking away individual
political power and distributing it among
the people.
