SAN Francisco, Cal, April I, Is

again and do some Of it,
Almost everybody seem bent to White |
Pine, and thought better OF yellow pine, so |
I ran down to Truckee 10 make arrangements |
for some. The railroad company are so alb |
sorbed in advancing to completion the pri-
mary work of construction, that no common
or slow freight is way billed east of Argenta
"a point about 65 miles west of Elko. The
present demand for lumber is chiefly at Car
lin, Elko and White Pine. Truckse lumber
men have offered 81 900 per car load to Elko,
but money win not buy the favor, and friend
ship properly goes for naught in this busi-
ness, as it generally should where the public
is commonly interested Before / can get
lumber shipped, some other business may
suggest itself or be offered, and I'll presently
take stock in neither White or Yellow Pine.
Elko and Carlin are the attractive railroad
townsville former having the White Pine
trade and traffic and the latter seeking it with
an energy which bids fair of success. Carlin
is % miles nearer by rail, and from 5 TO Is by
wagon road to White Pine than Elko. Carlin
has the advantage OF extensive railroad shops
and liberal strips of arabic soil with streams
of delicious water Elko is an incipient
county seat and has mountain surroundings
in which coal is found in small quantities
with large prospects; and the report is that
rich gold quartz has been found near by
Carln has the better prospects in sight, and
equally as good unseen. Lots in Elko,
25x1O0 feet on the two main streets facing
| on the railroad track sell readily at from
| $500 to $500; in Carlin 25xS0 lots are
| freely sold at $500 TO $500. Business ~ men
| bid them up to those figures, and then curse
the railroad company for charging such
prices Ny notes on human actions justify
the assertion that notwithstanding thousands
| may be penniless and grubless, yet the man
who has control of the meat and flour at such
times will not sell for what they can afford
to- but for all they can get Get all you can
| and keep all you get, is maxim OF practice
| Christianity or the live and let live principle
is only practised where self interest does not
conflict. l would almost advise you to re-
view your past life and see how much you We
lost and are likely to lose by course OF strict
honesty and frank dealing. You should

nass here and it has proved most too bold an
enterprise for him. So would not counsel
