FIRST TRAIN REACHES EUREKA

The first railroad train into
Eureka in over two years rolled
into the E. & P. depot here at 3 30
o'clock last Sunday afternoon
No announcement of its coming
was sem from Palisade, and if the
people on Ruby Hill had not noticed
it speeding across Diamond Valley
and over the last portion of the
repair work at the Slough. no one
in Eureka would have known of its
approach until the whistle sounded
down the canyon.
When the engine was entering
the canyon about FIVE miles below
Eureka, /. II. Rogers Of Ruby Hill
notified the Sentinel office over the
phone, and the news was given out
at once.
Everybody was surprised, and
some doubted the report, for the
fall here of nearly two reet Of
snow during the previous two
days caused nearly every one to
believe that all construction work
on the road would be suspended
until the weather conditions i'm
proved. But down in the valley
where the last work was being
done there was only a light fall of
snow and the work was continued
until the last break in the line was
completed.
The streets of Eureka and the
road leading to the depot were seas
of slushy snow and mud that after
noon and, with the exception of
Young America, only a few hraved
the far f.om pleasant walk. but
e former journeye6 down in
droves and gave the incoming
train q hearty welcome or its ar
rival.
Contractor Chadwick and engin-
eer Wallace started out of Palisade
with an engine. coach and several
loads Of material Sunday morning
at 8 O'Clock. Several hot boxes
and other troubles caused CONSIDER
able delay, hut after reaching
Mineral Station the train made
good time and met with few inter
ruptions. AS the water tank at
Oak had not heen completed, they
had to run from Alpha to Eureka
without replenishing the engines

leave the coach and several loads
at Oak. They brought up a couple
Of loads of old ties to he used for
fuel in firing No. 7 engine, and as
soon as their engine received a
fresh supply Of water it was sent
back over the road to Alpha,
Messrs. Chad wick and Wallace re-
naming in Eureka.
No. z engine. that has been
resting in the round house here
for two years, was steamed up on
Monday and sent down the road
after the loads that had been left
at Oak. 1t returned with them
that evening and No. z was re
ported to ne o. X.
On account of the grade work
done with frozen ground, road
north of Blackburn is said to be in
very unsettled condition. Two

cents an ounce on all silver bullion
imported into India. The impor-
tation of silver previously for some
years averaged so. 900. 600 to 80,
000. 900 ounces annually. the
result of this high silver duty
seemed to discourage Importation.
and the boarding of silver by
natives, and to throw the whole
demand Of India for boarding
purposes upon the other metal
gold.
THE position is one of great and
growing danger. The drain of
gold to India at the present time
threatening the most serious
consequences in the money markets
of the western world. Whereas the
importation of gold into India
before the new high sill yer duties
didn't exceed, one year with
ahother. 1000, GOO pounds and for
the first eleven weeks of this year
as at the rate of nearly a million
sovereigns a week.
The government at Calcutta
has now applied to the seer. tary
of state for india for permission to
commence the coinage in lndia
of l0-rupee gold pieces, thus
offering to natives, through the
innumerable hazaars throughout
India, a mrGhs of h0ariing in the
most convenient form. Such mint
age would make gold, for the
purposes of h~oarding. accessible to
300, 00O. 0OC people.
Should the government consent
to this proposal the hemOrrage of
our gold to India would further
threaten western finance. II
seems to me of the very first
r"monstrance on the part of the
great western financial centers
should be addressed TO the govern
men there.
THE present movement of gold
to lnIla is Oh such a scale that
when the gold required for arts
and manufactures has been
deducted, comparatively little of
the present immense supply of
gold from the mines is left for
American or European c~Irrsncies.

Mr.. Frewen on being asked
what steps it was proposed to take
in view of the serious situation
thus foreshado we'd, said that prob
ably a deputation would wait on
n secretary OF state for India
during the next few days. and it
was hoped that Arthur Balfour
would head the deputation.
Tine preoccupations of the
public mind at the present moment
ace such that il will be no easy
task to organize an effective dep =

commission to report on the whole

the present arti. n of the gov
ern nent of India has DISCOURAGED
the importation Of silver, and
thereby weakens exchange with
China. On the other hand, il must
throw an increasing strain upon
the Bank of England and other
western gold reserves, by cxprlling
gold so greatly as to impctil that
