The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-10-16

In ort1er to make the situation more
thoroughly understood we will say that
at present all, or nearly all. the ores and
borates which are shipped from Colum-
bus District to mill or market are con-
veyed by teams or pack animals through
the Pine Nut country to Wadsworth. or
else by long and circuitous route to Los
Angeles. Now, Mr.. Mosheimer proposes
that himself, his neighbors and those
whose business he represents avail them
selves of the facilities offered by the
opening of the Virginia and Truckee
Railway to Reno and ship their ores and
minerals through Carson; and to that end
he proposes the opening of a road to the
point indicated above. This road, he
says (and careful views and estimates
bear him out in his opinion), will shorten
the distance between Carson and Coinm-
bus by as much as thirty-tive or forty
miles; and it is estimated that the ex-
penditure of Sc, 900 will be sufficient to
open it. This road would run northerly
from Columbus to Aurora and would d.
rect all the trade of that region straight
to Carson-an the goods needed there
would either be brought here or have
transhipment at this point; and what
business is diverted off to Los Angeles
and Wadsworth would come here. More
over, it is Mr.. Mosheimers proposition
to have his borax boxes manufactured
here if he can get his borates to this
place and not be compelled to take them
the long way round to market. He is
now shipping 100 tons month. So soon
as he can avail himself of better facilities
his shipments will average ten tons per
day. In order that this proposed wagon
road may be built, the Pacific Borax Com
pany have offered to give 81, 900, the Vir-
ginia and Truckee Railway Company will
give another 81 900, and a Il N whose
name Mr.. Mosheimer mentions In his
letter will also give S1.O09. This is half
the amount Cannot, ought not, Carson
to raise the other 5000? This projected
road will place US within one day and one
nights travel of Columbus; will knit our
mercantile interests with those of tnat ex-
tensive and fourishinS mining camp;
offer inducements to our stage men to
stock a new line whose terminus would
be here; and promote our industries and
augment our importance rs an entrepot
and depot for this part of the State and
all the fast developing region of wealth
lying to the south and southeast of us,
even to the banks of the Colorado. 1t is
well worth while, as We believe, that this
important subject should receive the Sc
rious attention of our business people
and that they should not hesitate to do
their share toward opening the projected
line of communication. Carson is now
the most healthful and prosperous place
in the interior of the Pacific slope; that
she may continue to be SO let her citizens
not abate their vim, courage, hberality
and enterprise.
