THE LYON COUNTY RAILROAD.
Work to be Commenced at Once
The Road to Bun From the
Mound House, to Esmeralda
County, via Dayton and Fort
Churchill. ~ 1s a<asE sisI

OuuI Cflllls
From the Enterprise Of Last Sunday.l
At last the long-talked-of railroad
south into Esmeralda is to be con-
structed. Mr.. Yerington, Superin-
tendent Of the Virginia and Truckee
Road, informed us yesterday that
the work would be commenced i'm
mediately, and pushed forward
with all possible dispatch. The in
tention is to commence at the Mound
House and run thence to Dayton,
thence via Sutro to Fort Churchill,
where it will cross the Carson, and
thence by natural valleys and pass
es to Walker Lake. Steamers will
be placed on the lake for the trans.
portation of passengers and freight,
and from some point this side of the
lake (or more probably from the
foot of the lake, branch road will
run to the Nine Mile House, which
is at the foot of the grade going up
to Aurora. To prevent transship-
ments, and because there is not on
the route any grade greater than
twelve feet to the mile, the road will
be broad gauge, which will enable it
to connect directly with the Virginia
and Truckee and Central Pacific
Railroads. Mr.. Yerington did not
say as much, but we presume the
company has already rolling stock
enough for the new road, as during
the time that Virginia was being re-
built after the fire the pressure on
the Virginia and Truckee road was
tremendous, and very much more
rolling stock was required than has
been needed since. We found, yes
terday, Walker river man who is
familiar with the whole country to
the southeast, and he gave us the
approximate distances over the pro-
posed route, as follows: From the
Mound House, via Dayton, to
Churchill, "a miles thence to Ma
son Valley, 10 miles, thence to the
lake, 25 miles, or total of SO miles
to the head of Walker Lake. The
lake is 80 miles long, and lies a little
south of east and west of north.
From the foot CT the lake to Aurora
