RAILROADa.

For journal in this progressive age,
the Tuscarora Mining News assumes .
novel position in relation to the bene.
fits OF railroads to mining camps. It
claims that tho iron horse is an actual
detriment TO the general business Of .
town dependent exclusively upon
mining interests for It's support. It re-
iteratss the oft-repeated but short.
sighted argument that teams, which To-
comotives displace. are OF moro benefit
to the business Of the town than is Of
set by railroad advantages. This may
have been true in the early days Of
booming districts when the business is
sustained by money from the outside.
When it is dependent upon its own re-
tsources. the reverse is the fact. Every
hing which tends to tho economical ex-
traction Of ore and its working. is ben
EFT to the community. A mining town
which declines with railroad facilities.
certainly could not sustain itself NTH
out them. We venture the assertion
that Eureka without its railroad would
not be working half the number of
mines or men as Mt present. Doubtless,
Lander county would be better of with
out its road, which was built princi-
pally from subsidy which the tax
payers have TO shoulder. Had Il been
constructed, however, without such
subsidy from the county, it would have
proven blessing. As it is, probably
the advantages derived do not Offset the
burdensome tax. This is, however, no
argument agsinst tho general proposi-
ton that railroads are advantageous to
the business interests Of mining towns,
A bill passed the last Legislature
granting the right OF way to certain
parties 10 construct railroad from
scme point on the Central Pacific near
Elko, to TuscaIora, and from thence to
the Oregon line. 1t provides for no SUBJ
sidy and giants no privileges which ale
not accorded by the general law-eI-
ceptiDg that the persons named in the
bill have the exclusive privilege for the
right Of way for q reasonable time in
which to construct tho road. That n
road built in such q manner without
cost to the county, would be Of inealeu-
liable benefit to Tuscarora and the adja-
cent places in the North, there is no.
question. The matter OF fuel alone is
bound to become n serious drawback TO
the mining interests Of Tuscarora, in
less than two years, unless other
sources OF supply are opened. This can
only be effected by means Of railroad.
Without its mines in operation, there
would be nothing to support the 6usi-
ness Of tho town, and without q rnil-
road the mines. or most OF them at
least, will have 10 close down in time
for want OF fuel. This is but single
item OF the many that could be Gnu
nierated illustrating the benefits to be
derived from q railroad to that place.
Our Tuscarora contemporary Is gener-
ally pretty level-headed upon matters
Of local interest, but in this instance It
Is decidedly of.
