OPEN TO lRE EMrnoN.-It will be re
membered that some months ago on appi-
cation of w. Dana Perkins and others, tes-
timony was taken before the Register and
Receiver of the L. S. Land Office at Sacra-
mento, as to the character of something
rising 10000 acres Of land, whether more
valuable for agricultural or mining purposes.
On the testimony submitted, the Register
and Receiver found 2S, ,OS0 acres Of the land
in question to be agricultural, and the Com
missioner of the general Land office at
Washington has approved the decision.
Uuless an appeal is taken within thirty days,
these lands will then be open TO preemption
or homestead settlement, just as they we're
on the 10Th day Of September, A. d. 1862
These lands all lie between Newcastle and
Rossville and the Salt Spring Ranch and
the Franklin House. We publish their des,
cription, according to the U. S. survey, in
the affirming opinion Of the Commissioner
on the first page of to.day's HERALD, so that

PooRLY INFORMED. - The Sacramento
the Elko Independent against the importa-
tion Of Chinese coolies, says:
an the first place, it mnst be aware that there
would have been no Eko but for the Chinese
that the railroad would not have been bnilt with
out their aid"
The Bee has a large circulation and manv
intelligent readers all of whom must have
felt compassion for the editor when they
read the above extract Nobody can bnild
railroads but Chinese, shame! Who built
the thousands and tens Of thousands Of
miles Of railroad u the Uoted States, prior
TO the construction of this six hundred miles
How, we ask the Bee did the Union Pacific
folks build nearly two miles to the Central
! Pacifc's one, and never worked MongoliaL? !?
The truth is, the road would have been com
pleted sooner if white men had been en-
ployed instead of Chinese, and there were,
during the whole time Of building The road,
thousands rpon thousands of white men
here, ready and willing to work at fair
wages. II the six men who held and mon
opolized the franchise and donations of the
General, State and County governments had
employed white men, the road would have
been completed sooner; but they would then
only have cleared about four millions Of dol
lars esch, instead Of some six. 1t was
Stanford d Bro, Crocker IL Bro, and Hunt
ington and Hopkins that prolitted from the
Chinese labor, while the whole State actu-
ally suffered injury from the non>employ-
ment Of white laborers We say to the
Bee that these are the facts and there is no
getting away from them.
