The Paeiae Coast Railroad Moaop-
oily.
NEw YoIk. July iG.-The Ne" has the
following Gigantic railroad operations
have been projected and completed In the
center Of the continent and on tho Pacific
slope, and there arc a dozen Of railroads
building about which We in the far East
seem To know nothing. While Thomas A.
Scott is waiting for an appropriation 10
continue tho Texas Pacific. the Califor-
mans. the Coloraiians and the Mormons
are pushing great railroads into the un.
explored interior; in fact. they are aetu-
ally fianking the Texas Pacific and reduce
ing That great transconiinental scheme to
. mere branch Of the roals that thoy are
building. Tho Southern Pacific Is tho
most important. because u Is practically
the western end OF the Texas Pacific.
Already the Southern Pacific is completed
500 miles from San Francisco. to Fort
Yuma. On the Colorado river. Here thir-
teen car loads of freight are met daily
by two steambosts-one going 200 miles
up tho Colorado. almost 10 the new Nor
mon city of ~. George, where they have
lust dedicated a million-lollar temple, and
the other going down the river into the
Gulf of California. The Southern Pacific
and the Central Pacific, the two great rail-
roads Of the Pacific coast, have joined in
~teresis, ami they have commenced grading
the next GOO miles through Arizona TO Tue
son, whence q branch will run to Prescott.
the capital Of Arizona. and then straight
ON through the territory Ia Fort Bliss. On
the Rio Grande. Then the Southern Ia.
cihc will have water communication with
the Gulf Of Mexico and take freight from
Matamoras AMI New Orleans direct " Nan
Francisco. ~supplant tho Vera Cruz and As
pinwall routes. and supply all the forts
along the Rio Grandc from Santa fe To
Matamoras with troops and war material.
The Central Pacific and the Southern
Pacific are one interest. They aro q
great railroad pool. II they permit an.
other railroad line TO reach tho IA.

hold the rcins in their own hands. Every.

fers To carry passengers from New York TO
Yuma for 80. the Southern Pacific will
charge $50 for the rest of the way. No
with the Union aud 50 with the Kansas Pa
cihc. The topography Of the country pre-
vents another track being laid 10 San Fran
cisco. The Southern Pacific has taken NJ
the only practicable valley In California
the San joaquin. II is among the impos'
abilities ever 10 construct u second rail-
ROAD clear to the Pacific Coast without
tumbling into the arms Of San Francisco
men and without running over their track.
As in France, the roads turn toward Paris.
50 in this country, all the Pacific railroads
have W aim for certain mountain passes.
These passes are now hell by the Central
Pacific and Southern Pacific roads. We
do not blame Ex-Governor Stanford, ChAs.
Crocker. q. Z. Huntington. Mr.. Hopkins
aud David q. Cotton worth, n they are,
slOO, OOO, OOOl for being masters OF the sit
ustion, We 40 not blame them for put.
ting their hands on the throat Of the con-
tinent and demanding toll from q whole
nation. ID shows they have great brains.
AMI that lhoy are the foremost railroad
men in America. They hold Just the po-
sitiou in California that Vanderbilt would
in New York II he owned the Pennsylva-
mia railroad a. far as Harrisburg. the Erie
As far as Binghamton. and the baltimore
and Ohio as far as Wheeling. and could
thus nut ~passengers' fares rom Chicago to
New York at $50 or $50. and freight on
corn at 80 cents. 81 or 81 per bushsl. or
even refuse To take II at any price.
