EDITOR SENTINEL: All the
of travel from the Central Pacific Rail
road to the interior should be fully
known. but in no case is it more i'm
portant that any line should lie known
than those leading To Eureka. 1t has
already become the gem and
Bu~ine>s Center Of Eastern Nevada.
And its promise is such that it is easy
tn believe that in the neal future 1.-The
city of smoke and silver bars" will be
better known than any point in the
State. Ii has already become the GUS
tom of tourists to visit Eureka; and to
the business man and searcher for
wealth it is more attractive thai any
place within the limits OF the State.

fortablv as staging is usually done;
ans! the charge is $40 for passenger and
baggage. With good eating houses on
the line and II smooth road. it makes a
very comfortable trip 10 the silver
mines and the city. II first point
gained is that the road has not been
cut up hv heavy eain> to render it
uncomfortable and hazardous To the
occupant OF the coach; and again, the
trip being made i'll daylight. Owe 100
