OF way the mining districts south OF
Carson Valley are just now receiving
their full share ofthe attention of CAPT
talists. Nearly every day parties ar
rive here from San Francisco, Chicago,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Boston and New York. and not unfre-
quently from Europe, en- route to the
mines of Esmeraida county and those
living still further south. The whole
sale merchants and other business
men of this city ought to look out for
what NAV be termed the southern
trade, for indications point to it as
likely to surpass in Importance that
OF any other section OF n State. and
there is no reason in the world why
Carson should not reap 3 rich harvest
from that section. At present the
trade of the Owen River country, the
kearsage. Inyo and Cerro Gordo mines
goes south to Los Angeles, but when
Carson shall have been connected
with the Central Pacific Railroad this
trade can be easily turned to the north
ward by a little industry and liberal
itv, and with great profit, too, both to
merchants here and consumers at the
mines.
