RAILRoADS-RENO

Il
For II people 50 DIRECTLY codces6ed,
there is a gres, lack sfdeG&.Siefstmn-
ton as to the plass and opslatbhs for
railroads to and through this s.sto for
the future. The Central Pacific Com
pany have now 1000 Chinese laborers
stretched along the road from the
Truckee river soyard Humboldt, who
grade road over this level route faster
than iron aud ties. can be brapghlaeross
the mountains to complete it. The
Chinese camp in tents, and as fast ms
ono section isconptsed, theymeyefos-
ward like an army OF soldiers. They
are employed blythe contractors for -thc
work, and have thus far proved superior
workmen, learning thsir duties easily,
and faithful in the discharge Of the
Same. By winter Of. 1868, the road will
have been cxteudedsse1 miles, bringing
Eastern Nevada wiskiui short and easy
travelling distance Iaf Starey county,
and by July next the cars will rda
direct FROM Sacramento to Tue. new
town, projected on the Trackee river,
and named RENO. This place is about
N miles in 4 direct line from Virginia,
aud is to be tbs, headquarters for trans
shipment or goods Of all Kinds, coming
from the East or West, to supply the
wants of the mines and mills and trade
of Storey county aud the counties lying
south. 1t will also be the point where
the large freight, car, engine and other
depots will be constructed, and upwards
of a million dollars will ba expended at
ahis point by railroad companies alone.
1t will also be the supply point for the
many manufacturing mills and quartz
mills that will ere long be erected, as
the Trhckee river furnishes an enor-
nous water power, and the facilities for
wood, timber and supplies will make
the expense Of ,all machinery works
less than ever, before known in the
State. By advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that u sale OF
town lots cones of SaturdaySnext May
9th, and purchasers will be numerous
for sites to erect s~tores,, stables,
hotels, repair shops, and all the
adjulcts' of a permanent place: itrln
addition, aud to complete the wants
of this county and section, the Virginia
and Truekee Railroad Company have
ALREADY begun work upon a railroad to
run through Gold Hill, American Flat,
E&piro, Carsou&andr washoe Valley 70
Reno, SO ,that.w a 80, by rail ALMOST
from our, house doors, to. California or
Eastward. This last project, is u fixed
fact. Carson and Washoe county people
have agreed to Issue county bonds in
due time the mining companies have
made large subscriptions already, to be
repaid by freightagc of. wood and tim

Der, and responsible rs well as energetic
men are at the helm. Aside from the
chcapening Of the price of living aud
tho. facilities Of traysl, theses projects
have an incrcasetvalue, in the addition
it creates to tho taxable wealth Of the
State, and eventually to the extinYwsh-
ment or large reduction Of the indebt-
cduess Of each county or Incorporated
town, and tho State itself. These con-
s~iderations makes it the duty Of all good
citizens to lend . holping hand to each
of the enterprises on foot, and all others
which present themselves, ma.ured, s9da
started rs those we mention. Want of
space prevents further remarks to-day.
