THAT FAST TRAIN.
A Tightening one TO the Burden OF
Ira elers.

The running time of the New fast
train which will commence its trips
May lst between San Francisco and
Virginia City, is stated by the Enter
| prise to be rs follows Leave San
| Francisco at 1 p. II. andre manning
| half al hour in Carson-reach Eir-
ginia City at $3.50 A. N. next morning :
and returning, leave Virginia City at
: =. NJ. and reach San Francisco at
Halo the succeeding morning, sleep
ers running each way daily to and
from Carson. \ person now leaves
Virginia City at S p. NJ. and arrives in
San Francisco about 6p. NJ. the next
evening. The business houses are ali
closed, he can do nothing until the
next morning. So two nights and one
Day are actually consumed in the
journey down. Next morning the UP
train leaves before any business
houses are open, and though his
business may consume but an hour
he cannot leave until the succeeding
day. Leaving here say on Monday,
the traveller cannot return until Fri
day morning. BY the new pro-
gramme. leaving here on Monday he
reaches San Francisco just as the bust.
ness of the day is fairly opened, he
has four and half hours for work In
the most active business hours Of the
day, takes the boat at p. NJ. and is
home again in Virginia on Wednes-
day morning. 1t makes Virginia al
most as convenient to San Francisco
as Oakland is. A broker in San Fran |
cisco can leave Saturday evening,
come to Virginia, go down in the |
mines, get bath and dinner, and, |
returning, be in San Francisco lust |
about the time the tends of the Stock |
Board raise their war whoops on
Monday morning. 1t will thus be |
seen that two whole days are saved in
the round trip. The result surely is
to be greatly increased travel be-
tween tho Comstock and the place
where the proceeds of the Comstock
are gathered in. In this connection
it is hut proper to state that the Cen
trail Pacific Company will place one of
their finest bay steamers on the rout
between San Francisco and Nelleio to
connect with these trains, which
steamer will have first. class appoint
nents in every respect, thus insuring
10 the passenger a fine dinner coming
his way and dainty breakfast going
West. The Virginia and Truckee
Company have arranged so that trav-
elers can in the morning-convenient
o the Carson depot-obtain anything,
rom cup OF coffee up to a substan-
ial breakfast. The down train reaches
at A. NJ, the up-train at
p. NJ, and thus the furnace of the
Valley is crossed before
he fires are lit in the morning and
lfter they are banked at night, and
he dreadful Saharas of San JOAQUIN
md Livermore Valleys are avoided,
We have been thus explicit to show
ur readers what very great con-
'enience in every respect this new
is to be. In conclusion,
gives us great pleasure to extend a
vord of praise to the parties through
shom this consummation has been
rought about. The idea originated
With the Virginia and Truckee Rail-
Dad Company. This company has
zen urging the need and utility of
uch a departure upon the Central
eople for a long time. The Central
