Our LOCAL RALRoAD.-The famous
Davenport Brothers, who during the
past 10 years have travelled throughout
England, France, Russia and all other
parts Of the world, crossing the Alps
by railroad, as well as the Rocky
Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and
other elevated sections OF the great
Pacific Railroad, have, during the few
days of their being in this section,
passed several times yer the Virginia
and rruckee Railroad, between Vir-
ginia and Carson. They speak in un-
uuslified terms Of admiration Of the
indomitable genius, enterprise and
energy which projected and con-
structed such u road In such q difficult
locality, and amid such immense
natural obstacles. Those we'll made
tunnels, the lofty, substantial trestle
bridge across Crown Point Ravine, the
deep cuts through solid rock, the tor
tuous windings. and especially where
the road passes along its narrow shelf,
high up on the steep mountain sides
sEirtin9 Carson River, besides other
similar points, where running of the
track involves being hurled to swift
destruction thousands Of feet below
all these great and costly pieces Of
work, necessary in surmounting that
immense long grade of ll6 feet to the
mile, were gazed upon by them, anu
considered with critical. a~ppreciative
ewes. They say our little scrap Of a
railroad beats all similar works they
have ever vet seen In all their travels.
There Is nothing like it in Europe.
Russia or anywhere else = only in
America. The very idea Of construct
Ing n railroad In such a place they con-
sidered to I've I decided novelty, aside
from the actual carrying Of the project
through to so successful a completion.
