THE ELKO INDEPENDENT.


RAILROAD TO THE CoLoRApo.-Hon. Thos.
Fitch. while here and before going East,
stated that it was his intention early in the
mex. session Of Congress, to press the move
ment inaugurated at the last session, to OBJ
tain from Congress the right of way and grant
Of land for u railroad from Elko, on the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad. to some point on the
Colorado river, by way Of White Pine. Once
the grants named in the bill become the
property of private corporators, the building
of the road would soon follow, at least as far
as White Pine, as there is no hundred miles
of road on the coast that would pay better in
terest on the money invested. The amount
Of freight going in that direction is enormous,
and will continue to increase, while the back
freight of silver and lead bullion will soon
amount to very considerable item of
business. Freight now costs about $50 per
tun for transportation one hundred miles,
about the distance between the two points,
while passenger fare is S25, or more than half
the cost of n ride TO Sacramento. The cOun-
try over which the road would he built is
almost dead level the entire distance, and
could be built with as much facility ara At as
little cost as the road along the Humboldt val
ley from the sink 20 its head. For the first
twelve or fifteen miles out on the south side
of the river the country is a little hilly and
broken but from where il enters Huntington
valley to the base of the White Pine noun
tains, no more favorable route could be- de-
sired and from White Pine, southwark,
there is q continuous valley all the way TO the
Colorado river and Arizona Territory. That
this road, Mt least as far as White Pine, Will
be built within the next three years, there is
hardly doubt, and when il is built, it insures
for us grand commercial future as a railroad
center that We can never expect to enjoy with
out A railroad from this point to the south
ward would necessitate the building of a road
to the north, extending up in the direction of
the Columbia river, which would connect the
waters of that stream with those of the Colo
RADIO. With railroad lines diverging to each
cardinal point of the compass from this place,
we would be forced into prominence and
importance in commercial point Of view
little dreamed of at the present time by even
our most enthusiastic admirers. These rail.
road connections would do for us what the
Central Pacific has. done for Sacramento, and
what railroad centers have done all over the
country. OF course a railroad to White Pine
would bring temporary lull in certain kind.
of business which depend upon the teaminl
interest for support, just as that kind of bust
ness in Sacramento was affected when hel
teaming interest was partially destroyed; bu
other interests, six times more important
sprang into existence, and just so would it bt
with us in the end.

The Grand Jury, convened On the 18th day
of August A. D., 1869, (this being the first
Grand Jury impanncled III and for the county
of Elko,) beg leave to report the following:
We have been in session nine days and
have passed upon thirty cases; we have found
nineteen true bills and dismissed eleven.
In the organization of new county it is
generally difficult matter to procure wit
ncsses. and therefore our session has been pro-
longcd until this time.
The financial affairs Of the county are in n
very prosperous condition.
According to the report Of the Assessor, our
revenue should be about sixty-six thousand
,OOO1 dollars per annum, and with rCa-
sOnnblc economy the expenses, exclusive Of
county buildings. should not exceed forty five
thousand (Si5OOO) dollars. The entire in
dcbtcdncss of the comfy Mt the present time
is nine thousand one hundred and sixty-scven
dollars and cighty-hye cents $50, lG7 So, cX-
elusive of the amount assumed by us of tho
old indebtedness of Lander county, which is
twenty thousand $3.50, O0O) dollars: n part Of
which we expect tn got back from Lander
county, rs in our judgment taxes were wrong
fully collected by the officers of Lander coun-
ty after ElkO was de fdCtO a county.
With n territory Of nearly two hundred
miles in length, and about ono hundred and
fifty miles in width, embracing the finest por-
ton of the state for agriculture and grazing
purposes. aud with the new and rich mineral
discoveries recently made, we think that Elko
county may rink equal if not superior to any
of the counties of the State.
II is tho history of now counties that the
first ono or two years after their organization
they become almost irrctriavnbly in debt, so
much so that taxation is increased and soon
becomes hurdensomo tO the people. We
therefore urge the most rigorous economy in
every department Of the county government.
The committees appointed to examine and
report on hospital, public offices, and ronds.
accompany and are herewith made part OF
this report.

VINO TAKES Ir.-An enthusiastic Democrat
ic friend Of ours, the other day, offered to bet
divers and sundry lots that Pendleton would
be the next Governor of Ohio, but could find
no takers. He then offered the same bet that
Packer would he the next Governor of Penn
sylvania, but still there was no response from
Radicals present, and finally he offered to
bet that Sacramento and Yolo counties would
elect Democratic District Judge in October,
and yet there was the same ominous silence
MS before. Tho truth is. the Radicals about
these days are fast losing faith in the irwin
cibility Of the party. 1.-The charmed life"
theory is exploded;a panic has seized them
md they now fear and trenlble at their own
shadows.

ONE BY OSE They Go.-Secretary Brown
ing, who was appointed by Lincoln to succeed
the great Douglas in the United States Senate
in 1861. and who was afterward appointed by
Lincoln Secretary of the Interior, is now a
candidate on the Democratic ticket in Adams
county, Illinois, for delegate to the Constitu-
tionaI Convention in that State. OF his views
on the leading measures now before the conn
ty, the Quincy Herald thus speaks:
He does not regard the framing OF new
State Constitution fundamental law which
is to operate, or ut least shOuldu operate, equal
ly upon men of all partiGs-as a partisan
measure; he is, however, opposed-decidedly,
heartily, and deiiantly opposcd-to striking
the word white" out of the Constitution Of
this State, and he does not hesitate to say that
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, if ratified, will he incon-
sistent with the other provisions, and with
nearly all of them, to which it is an amend
ment, and necessarily, therefore, vOid-as
much so as if it were proposition to set
inside and abolish the Constitution of the
United States.
Secretary Browning has one Of the foremost
legal minds in the nation, and his opinion
that the Fifteenth Amendment will be void in
the event Of its adoption 10y the requisite
number Of States, is entitled to much weight
and will receive much consideration through
ont the country.

Some Of the prisoners have made complaint

our acquaintance with the iuilur and other Of

mittce appointed To- examine into the condi-
ton of the hospital, have examined the same
and find it kept in a neat and orderly manner.
We have couverscd with the patients, and
they all speak highly of their attendants in
every respect. We have examined the beds
and bedding and find the same in very good
order.
The cost of carrying on the hospital has
been to the present time Sl.jg7 -. Whole
number Of patients received, nineteen; at the
present time, five.
We would recommend the county to pro-
cure a building of their own for hospital pur-
poses, for the one at present used is entirely
too small.
We have also examined the pest house, and
find the same To have cost the county, for
building and all other expenses connected
with the hospital - ,Ogi -, Whole number
OF patients received, ten; discharged six, died
four. Bills for the amount of about one thou
sand dollars of the above amount have been
sent To Lander county for settlement, but
have not been liquidatcd rs yet.

INSTRUMENTATION 'Elko county Is build
ing brick Courthouse; contract price SlI ,Ooo.
A gentleman who lately passed through In
forms us that the brick are of all prismatic
eolors, and every conceivable combination Of
them. except red or ordinary brick color; and
that the building is erected on foundation
that will dissolve in water. We are afraid
that our informant is prejudiced against Like,
and possibly the contractor. Keno Crescent.
You are right in your conjecture, brother
Lewis; your informant was doubtless preju-
diced against Elko, as there is no word of
truth in his statement. The foundation of
the Courthouse, up to the brick line, which is
about IA foot above the ground, is laid with the
hardest kind of quartzite or porPhyritic rock,
while the brick is a beautiful dark red. Us fine
in color as any we ever saw Ill this or any
other country. 1t may be, however, that your
informant referred TO a quantity of rock used
at the bottom of the cells, which was con-
demned by the Commissioners and all taken
of the kind of rock referred to remains in the
building. The inside walls being built of
pale but excellent quality of brick, which
were made of n kind of soil that cOlors but
little in burning; but the brick in the outside
walls would be hard to beat i'll any country.
The outside world need give themselves no
trouble on account of any supposed defect in
the material used in our Courthouse as our
Board of County Commissioners are wide
awake, sharp business men, who vii accept
nothing short of first-class work; and when
the building is completed, we venture the pre-
diction that it will compare favorably with
any building of the kind in the State.
