Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1869-04-23

Monday next, says the Enterprise of this
morning, the connection will be made
between tho Central Pacific and Union
Pacific Railroads. Yesterday, at noon,
there remained but 20 miles Of road to
build to complete the connection. Tass
done aud we will be in direct railroad
communication with New York. How
ever, The work will by no means be
completed whom the connecticut s made,
as much of the Union Pacific o IS so
badly constructed that extensive re-
pairs will at once be necessary. A
gentleman who came over the road a
few days since from New York, states
that ia many places the rails arc out
over the edge of the entertainments and
are so poorly constructed that they are
already in an unsafe condition. The
Central Pacific road is much more sub
stantially constructed, though for n
distance of 200 miles toward the east
eud the embankments are rather soft.
