Steel Rail.

Railroad Companies have thorough
ly tested the qualities of the steel rail
and its enduring powers are found to
be such that it is coming into general
use on all first-class railroads. The
cost of the steel rail is aboat twenty
per ,nt. over that of the iron rail, but
the steel rail will last about eight
times longer than the iron rail. There
is also . saving in weight. The COM
mon-sized steel rail weighs fifty
pounds per yard, while the ordinary
ron rail weighs from fifty-six to sixty
pounds per yard. On roads with
heavy grades and sharp curves the
steel rail is found to be much more re-
liable than the iron. The Central
Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroad
Companies are now using only the
steel rail. The Southern Pacific road
from Caliente south to San Fernando
Tunnel, and from San Gorgonio Pass
Eastward, will be laid with steel rail.

Up to yesterday morning twelve and

has been so gentle that the greatest

The entire fall has been absorbed by

CHEYENNE, n. Y, Sth.-Henry
Baltz and w. Deery have just ret urn
| ed from Black Hills, and confirm all
the gold reports which have hitherto
reached us respecting the county, eli
mate and richness of the mines. These
gentlemen come from Spring Creek,
where Allen and party are at work
sluicing. II. f. Allen is taking out
gold every day. The lowest average
he has made since he began to work
was seven dollars to a man and the
highest was fourteen dollars and
twenty-five cents. The weather was
fine and the miners were coming in
rapidly. On their way in they saw
| over two hundred miners bound for
the Hills. AT Cheyenne river they
saw nine Indians and camped within
| quarter of mile from them, but
| they did not show any signssof fight
This was near Cheyenne. and there
was about nine or ten inches of snow
in Cheyenne but none to speak of in
the mining region. Ice was two and
half feet thick so that any kind of a
load might pass in safety. Saw mills
are on the way, one from Cheyenne,
one from the Indian agency and an
other from Laramie City. Castan
City is growing rapidly and is des-
tined to be the chief city. All loaded
trains go there, and from that point
go to the other mining gulches.
California Joe is at Spring Creek,
four miles from Allen. He expects
to reach here the fourteenth.

inches more during the Spring, but
should there be no more rain this sea-
son, the farmers assure us they will
make good crops. A glance at the
prospect gives guarantee of an unusu-
ally prosperous season. The good
crops together with the great increase
of acreage seeded, indicate that the
products of our valley this season
will be so largely in excess of any for
mer year as to astonishth the most SAN
guine citizen. Owing to the consider
able increase in the number of bearing
trees the fruit crop will be much larg-
er than ever before. Altogether the
prospect is very encouraging and we
may safely congratulate ourselves
that we are entering on an era of pros
perity for which all have cause to re-
joice.

If we can secure this railroad from this city
to Salt Lake, by honorable means, 1t is our
duty to do SO; and paper that declares we
have no right to do so, commits an act OF
treason against the interests of Los Angeles
-Brpress.
So say we. What paper says we
have no right to do so? Let us have
all the railroads we can get-..'by hon.
orable means" But let us not try to
deceive the people into investing their
means in road which they have no
guarantee will be built, or if built will
not compete with those already built.
The paper that seeks to induce people
to invest in the stock of road that
Z willsnot give such guarantee, is a trail
tor to the community in which it is
published, is unworthy of public conf
dence, and its motives are more than
questionable.

A Border Heroine.

Some years ego, before the state Of Ar
kansas was so denscly populated Us now,
and when the mails from Little Rock to
the eastern borders were carried on horse
back, there lived Il few miles above
Horschcad II stout pioneer named Jacob
Burnop. His wife Polly and one child
nine years old made up his family. His
chief business was hunting, and his un-
erring rifle never failed to supply his
board and something over. His nearest
~neighbor was fifteen miles off, 20 he was
little troubled with prying visitors.
1t was in the early spring that Jacob
started down the river with Il boat load
of furs and skins. lie left Polly in
charge of the premises; and he left with
her, too, a light rifle and a brace of pis.
tolls. She knew how to use the rifle, for
never was she happier than when her
husband patted her on the shoulder and
said, "Nobly done, Polly my dear;
could not have made u better, SHOT
myself
And he had occasion to say this with
truth, too.
Jacob Burnap had been gone four days,
| when towards evening a horseman rode
up to the hunters door. lie was a
small, muscular man, some forty years
of age and seemed Injured to all hard
ships. As he sprang from his saddle,
Polly made her appearance.
"Ah, Polly, once more here" the new
conner said, as he drew Il well-flled pair
of saddle-bags from the back of his
fatigued beast.
Eyes, and | am glad to see you. Jacob
has been gone four days, and time is get

the events of the time over an ample
supper. His hostess had told him what
had transpired in the ncighborhood
since his last visit, and the visitor gave
her all the news of the Eastern valley.
Liant Morton had been mail carrier upon
that route for several years, and not
once had he passed to and fro without
spending Il night at Jacob %Burnap's. In
fact he was about the only regular yisi.
tor at the hunters cabin; and, although
the intervals between his visits were
long, yet he seemed almost a fixture to
the place. Polly Burnap, just in the
bloom of womanhoOd, knew his gentle,
generous, and noble character; 50 she
felt perfectly free and at home in hi
presence.
