ROAD PROM ELKo TO EUREKA.-Eiko being
the great headquarters for the vast freighting
interests in this section of the State our en-
terprising people are now cauvassing the ques-
ton of constructing IA road direct from this
point to the new mining district of Eureka,
that now bids so fair to spring into importance
at an early day. good road can easily be
made, attended with little expense direct from
here TO Eureka, aud it is claimed that the dis
lance will be quite as near as either from Car
lin or the Palisades. There appear to be two
routes contemplated, one rid Mineral Hill and
the other one following down the White Pine
passing Shepherds Station; but which one
will be settled upon yet remains TO be- .scciI,
and it is possible that entirely new route
may be found that will still shorten the dis
lance. This being the great central point il is
TO be hoped that our citizens will continue to
manifest their usual enterprise and hold the
growing tradc. Activity ON their part this
Winter will ensure and fasten next seasons
business from the surrounding districts.
