The Railroad.

As the subject of the prospect for the
construction of the long-cherished mar
row-gauge TO Elko has recently occupied
40 large a share of public attention, it is
probably advisable to state just what is
true in reference to the present move
ments of the parties Immediately en-
gagged in negotiations. Gentlemen sup
posed to be fully informed as to the
business are confidently predicting the
immediate commencement of the work
under new auspices, and its consumma-
ton within the term limited by the
existing charter-that is, by mid Sum-
mer next; and we can only say that we
have confidence that this will be realized.
AS we are informed, the facts seem to
be about rs follows: The grantees of
the franchise for the road residing in
Elko county had agreed with Gilmer &
Salisbury, extensively engaged in this
State and elsewhere in staging, for the
transfer to the latter of all their interest
in said franchise. Having secured the
signatures of the Elko corporators to the
agreement, Capt. Boyle was sent to this
place to lay the proposition before those
residing in White Pine county. His
mission here, as far as we can learn, was
entirely successful; and having procured
the signatures of these gentlemen tn the
document conveying the franchise, the
Captain took his departure to San Fran
cisco, where, it is supposed, the parties
concerned with Gilmer & Salisbury will
bring the business arrangement into
shape for effective operations. It is un
derstood that the parties who now be-
come the grantees of the charter reim-
burse the organized holders for the
expenses and trouble they have been al
in regard to the road-a certain sum
being settled upon as indemnity. The
advance of these moneys by the purchas-
ers will afford some reliable guaranty
that they e seriously to take hold OF
the work.
We can only express the hope that
such may be the case, and that a com
mencement will be promptly made toward
carrying out an improvement so full OF
promise for the future of this section Of
country.
