WHAT Is SAID ABOUT OUR RAIL
A

Below we give the comments of
some of our leading contemporaries ON
the completion of the Eureka and Pal
isade Railroad. Says the Gold Hill
NeWs:
Eureka jollified extensively last
Thursday. on the occasion of the COM
ple;ion of the Eureka and Palisade
Railroad and the advent of the locomo-
tive into her suburbs. Speeches of
conEratulatiOn were made, the own
put on a holiday dress, and a general
enthusiasm vas manifested. The road
now completed TO Eureka is ninety
miles in length, and connects with the
Central Pacific at Paiisade. 1t is a mar
row gauge and is owned principally by
4. f. and D.. O. Mills. 1t has been
built by private capital, no subsi-
dies nor public subscriptions having
been solicited or received. 1t brings
Eureka into easy communication with
San Franci. co on the west, and with
the great cities of the East, and her
people may expect to see great and
swift changes wrought by its compile
ton. The mines OF the Base Range
must come into more extended notice.
now that the fatigue, delay and trouble
incident to a visit thereto have been
removed, and the saving of time and
expense in travel and freight will work
wonders for that section of Eastern Ne
vada. The penpleof Nevada are right
in COMMUNICATING the completion of
this railroad. as marking a new era in
the prosperity of the Base Range,
which even before its advent has been
marvellous. Railroads are the arteries
of commerce through which the life
blood Of business prosperity and pro
gress is transmitted. Such will Eure-
ka find her road to be ii it is conducted
on the principle of reciprocal benefit.
Here is what the Enterprise has to
say:
Eureka had a Jubilee last evening.
The track layers land the last rsil OF the
Eureka and Pali>ade Railroad. and
close behind the iron-horse whistled it's
''all hail" to which the whole people
shouted hack a welcome. Any one
who ever faced a Southwestern in a VIM
ter's night on the outside of a coach he
tween Palisade and Eureka will know
how cordial must have been that well
come. No wonder the ladies put on
their PROTEST tie backs and waved
their sun-honnets and handkerc.iets.
No wonder the men grew e o1uent and
made speeches, and that boys and girls
and little Indians tried t. stare the
headlight of the locomotive out of
countenance. 1t is a great work well
done. Eureka sends congratulations
to the world, and an invitation TO come
and see her bonapzas. We echo the
congratulations, and extend The hope
that no check may Yer come to the
advancing prosperity OF Eureka.
The following is from the ReUciiie:
BY telegraph from Eureka we get a
glowing account of the demonstration
in honor of the completion of the Eu-
reka and Palisade Railroad. There
were speeches and music. and bun
ting, and ~gunpowder, the whole on
shutting a young Fourth of July, and,
in the language of the dispatch, "a cor
dial welcome was given by the Great
East to the Iron Stranger" We con-
gratulafe our neighbors of the Base
Range on the completion of this work
which brings them in close commune
cation with the busy world. affords
them cheap, rapid and comfortable
transit. and frees them from the dis
comforts and annoyances and ''sched-
ule time" of stage COACHES. Austin
sends greeting to Eureka, and hopes
hat the progress Of her sister town
will be as rapid al the "lron Stranger
can travel.
