fFrom the Carson Appeal
From an Eastern gentleman who is
we'll posted on the contemplated
workings of the railway boom IN Ne
vada an Appeal reporter gathered
some important facts connected with
railroad matters on this coast.
HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.
siJay Gould was so busy with bus
iness in the East that he has paid
very little attention to the Pacific
coast. The anti-monopoly agitation
in Nevada and California first called
his attention to the matter and he be-
gan to realize the enormous profits
on the business of freight carrying
over the Sierras. Congressman Dag
gett's pamphlet he read very care
fully and il astonished him. Now
YOU know Gould is not looked upon
as friend of the people in the East.
He makes all the money he Can in
stock jobbery and the like transac-
tions and when he gets a man in the
door he is as merciless as a man can
be. He thought that the c. Il. were
rather walking on the people of this
coast, and having had little trouble
with Stanford, Crocker Il Co. he
vowed that he would build a through
line to San Francisco"
"What was the nature OF the
troublef"
~ do not know; l have my own
ideas upon the subject, or rather sus-
picions, but knowing as little as / do /
would not care to express myself
"Will he build the road, or is he
simply trying to force COM
promiser'
81 have every reason TO think that
he is going for blood. He wishes to
humilate the C. 2. people and drive
them to the wall. Gould not a man
for compromises when he fairly gets
unto a fight. At the same time ! of
course do not know, nor does any
one, the inside of Gould's business.
/ have been informe that his idea is
to connect his road to San Francisco
with China by line of fast steam
ships, built more for carrying fast
freight than passengers. He may
not appear in the matter at all when
the road is begun, but he will be the
backer and director ofthe enterprise"
BACK FREIGHT.
"Will he charge Nevada back
freight as the Central Pacific are do
ing?"
mo. High freight charges have
not been his policy. People who
keep out of stock gambling have no
special complaint against Gould.
Gould's new line, which will leave
Salt Lake, pass through Eureka and
go direct to San Francisco, will when
completed open the ball by a material
reductionof freights. Gould would be
amply satisfied with one half the rates
now charged by the e. u. and no back
freights. II would be his policy TO
make the new line popular with the
people. The Carson Il Colorado will
tap this line and land freights in
Carson at a very material reduction.
A combination has been formed be-
tween the Texas Central, the Atlantic
q Pacific and the Utah Southern to
build to San Francisco. There will
be at least two new roads in process
of building across the State this year,
THE CALIFORNIA CENTRAL.
ssDo you know any thing of the
route contemplated by the California
Central %
81 know nothing very definite
about 1t except that 1t will go through
Beck's pass and pass through Nye
and Lincoln countless
The Reno Gazette of yesterday
gives the following additional partic-
ulars. 1t says:
The road goes by the name of the
California Central Railway, but 1t
