Sacramento Bee says that the railroad
company prosecuted very extensive sur
veys during the year 1866, to determine
the best location for their railroad from
the Big Bend Of the Truckee to the
Wshsatch Mountains, EAST, Of Salt Lake.
These surveys demonstrated the fact
that the only practicable line lay up the
Humboldt river. Tho company there
fore located their line, commencing at
the Big Bend Of the Truckee, thence to
Humboldt Lake, thence up the Humboldt
river to the Wells, near the head Of that
stream, at which point the East Hum
boldt Mountains terminate, and the line
can be located easily 10 the wshsstch
Mountains, either by the north or south
end OF Great Salt Lake. Under the law,
this location required the approval Of
the Secretary Of the Interior. The maps,
profles and reports were promptly laid
before him, and after 8 full examination
he has finally approved it. This enables
the Central Pacific Company to proceed
early with the necessary location sur
veys, and to prosecute the work TO the
Humboldt Wells without delay. The
distance from tho State line to the Hum
boldt Wells is three hundred and sew
enty miles.'
A Paw As Is PlS.-And there is in
our humble judgment, only one good
style of psn-a gold pen. Its the only
reliable institution for a reporter or edi-
tor, according to our experience. Now
Begle, Of the P~ossofice Stationery De-
pot, Virginia city, in the great generos-
i.y Of hi, Prussisn soul, invited US
10 make a selection" from his large
and splendid assortment. We have Sc
lected. We have taken advantage OF
his beuevolence-we are afraid we have
done so almost TO the margin Of imposi-
ton. We have got the best pen in the
large assortment, according 20 our no.
ton; no. the best in make, for there are
four score more Of the same pattern IN
Bsgle's-but the best as we judge. No
" persons Judge exactly alike in re-
gard 10 a pen. There's something to
suit your hand, surely, in the array nj
the Postofice Depot, Virginia. This
item 10 written with our new pen. See
how smooth il, runs. The printer can
tell you that it's all magnificent -four
iihes, and yet its as legible as the text
of the Governor's-prirate Secretary.
Look at B0gle's showcase, and il you
are compelled to write much you'll re-
joice yourself with = purchase Of one Of
wilson's best writers.
