THE VIRGINIA AND TRUcKEE RAIL.
ROAD.

to be one of the enterprises of he Sum
mer and Fall of 1868 The steady per
sis,euce, good faith and energy of the
corporators have brought the work to
such an suspicious beginning as to give
ample assurance to the counties in
terested that wha. has hitherto been
agreed upon will be carried out with all
possible dispatch. There is much that
is gratifying in the prospect as it is
presented, much besides the benefits
promised to the communities and neigh
borhoods through which the road is to
pass. We allude, in this, to the con-
fidence evolved on the part of the cap
i,alists Of the Comstock lode in the
permanence of the great mines situated
upon that mineral vein. That this SEN
timens is enjoyed is abundantly proven
b. the fact, that. notwithstanding the
recent depression in Storey County
mining stocks, large proportion of
wan P"biSs " " tHOSc " mes nav T
subscribed literally and confidently in |
aid Of this railroad, convinced as they
are Of its necessity, its practicabiity
and the trustworthiness CT its proiec-
tors to accomplish their agreements in
conformity with the contracts already
entered into. Thus, two very fatteriug
conditions are made apparent First,
that those who are most intimately ac-
quainted with, and most deeply inter-
ssted in, the Comstcck mines are so .
confident of the permanence ana value |
OF their investments as to become
stockholders in a road which Will be
mainly dependent upon the continued
prosperity OF the mining interest in
Storey county Secondly the assur- :
ance conveyed thereby that the saga 5
cious business men who control those =
mines feel an abiding faith in the in 2
legrity and earnest purpose Of the cor
porators with whom the tax payers of
1-msby and Washoe counties have
entered into arrangements touching the
construction of the said road. Two
most pleasing prospects are presented
10 Us, namely: The speedy construc-
:ioa of the road aud the undoubted
permnnence of the great interest which
is to be mainly depended upon to sus-
ain it.
The survey of the road will be COM
nepeed this week. Dir. /. E. James,
he veil known Civil Engineer of Storey la,
ouaty will have the chief supervision tn
# The WORK and will conduct the survey oe
rom Gold Hill to Carson. Mr.. John th'
y. Kidder, also a railroad engineer of w we
'rge experience, will take charge of Tie
be survey-as Mr.. James First As oid
stant-Letweeu this point and the OF
ruckee. He will begin his operations An,
4 the Washoe end of the line. Aswe
ave before stated, arrangements have Ant
zen made by the corporators to secure Toe
force of fifteen hundred laborers to Al,

How in the wake of the surveyors.
J we have also previously stated, a
pply of iron will be procured in time As t

The promised early consummation of The,

have entsrtained much faith ever
ce its very inception, leads US to
er our hearty congratulations to our
low citizens of Ormsby and Washoe AMI,
mites. The confidence established
reby is certain to infuse new life
our various branches of business Nor
give US who have patiently waited For r
the dawn of better times a renewal And
hope in the future to excite energy
IRE too much apathy has been felt
to fix values upon what has too Man ,
, languished and finally became tive s.
paratively worthless. And while ryat y
are thus Offering our congratulations whole
