terialIzing than at any previous time.

Capitalists are considering the FEAST
bility Of building a railroad from Silver

tory rates at present. The projected
road will be run up to the mines to
save expense in hauling ores. The
business men, of that place, could dis
charge a duty by subscribing literally
to a fund for the Improvement OF the
roads leading from Silver City.
