Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1873-06-15


subie,ined from a conversation got as We
could catch it while Fox WAS waiting on
his customers Yesterday: There are, or
were. when Fox left the scene of opera
tions, sixty men at work on the road
that is to say. titty-fve men on the Car
son end and five on the Columbus end.
or this force 40 are Cinnamon and Is
white men These are all under the
sup-rvision-in-chiefo OF Mr.. Angus Nc
Leod. The work now in hand Is the
grading Of between four and five miles
Of road on the mountain range between
East Walker and Whiskey Canon. The
nature of the ground is of that OF de-
composed granite. soft and yielding. so
far-no blasting having been necessary
The white men go ahead and mark out
the work and the Chinese gangs follow
and finish. After this mountain grading
is done then comes the making OF
road through the canon. 1t is said
there nsed to be good wagonlng through
this defile but that recent water spouts
have torn it all to pieces and left 1t Jag
ped and rough The work in hand Is
pushing ahead with vigor and will con-
time to be so conducted unless the pro-
withheld. Mcleod has his force under
good discipline and his plans and syS-
tens in good working order; but to
make hi self independent OF any
&irones or 1nfai.hful persons who may
be under him be will need to be Kept
constantly within reaching distance of
the coin to be ready TO settle with any
emplove at a moment = warning. There

if those who have subscribed and who
mean to subscribe to the work. just put
IN promptly and for the full amount of
tn il subscriptions when called on We
notice that the Wadsworth people and
their friends and allies are talking about
doing SOMETHING to retain this Columbus
trade at Wadsworth All We need to do
to defeat them is to provide ourselves
with eqnal chances that's all All
things being even. the Columbus trade
will come this way. The reasons for
this are good enough. In the first place
the Wadsworth road IL through long
stretches of desert where the teamsters
have to haul water for their stock:
Every hundred pounds of water hanled
displ,ces a hundred pounds of more
profitable freight: and those eight and
fourteen mule teams with from one to
four hack actions take great deal of
w,ter-some tons in fact. Moreover the
wad<worth route is fetlock deep III
sand By the Carson and WINS
kew Flat route ali these drawbacks
are avoided. Bat We must do the things
viii h will make u route between Carson
aud Columbus. We are making very
mrnf,l stacser Mt it now. bnt we must
be on hand to deliver up the munitions
81 var whenever NJ L. Cd draws on rs.
It wont do to break down now nor at all
until the work is accomplished and the
tide of teaning Is furned this way-lf
we don't want those Wadsworthies and
their Reno hackers to enchre US. LIT
rs get mp committee and raise twelve
or fifteen hundred dollars for a Fonrth
Of Julv Fnnl and then damp til It fund
into the Columbus wagon road fund;
and next ar. We can have all the
miners and refners and diggers of the
bnrax marshes to come here to their
regular natural trading post and help us
i,llifv lik,, nahols. We mnst stand IN
on this business and never fail. The
reward will be worth all the outlay and
a good deal more.
SPEAKER BLAINE will pass this point at
eight O'Clock this morning on his way to
Virginia CITY. 1t is the intention of
Bone of our citizens. we believe to meet
the Speaker at the Depot and tender
him the hospitalities Of the town or to
make. him IL speech or invite him to par
ticipatr in Il lnatutinal cocktail or some
thing of the sort. H. onght to stop
here. and see things. This is the Capital,
and he onght to tarry awhile and give
Us chance to entertain HIM and exhibit
orr small lions to him. We suppose
Miss Abigail D ,dgr-that wise and spicy
spin,t-r whose blue stockings have
trampl-d ont SO clean and attractive II
trail through the latter day stream of
literature which gets its head mp in the
hard hills of Yankeedom. and whose
writing name is known far and wid.. as
Gail Hamilton, will be along. 1t wonld
b., pleasant to corral Abigail and inter-
view her too-specially if she can talk
ANYTHING like rs we'll as she can write.
Maybe however the Speaker and Miss
Gail and their travelling companions are
too consistent and answering in their
observation of the Sabbath to consent to
be gritty Of anything worse than SEMI |
missionary trip to the Storey county
mines.
