* ates. It wou'd seem to us that Mr. SUNDAY, APRIL 80, 1871. The Rallroad Matter. Our readers have seen the estimates of the cost of a railroad from Nevada City to Marysville, and the friends of the enterprise are somewhat disappointed ut the figures. The totals, as shown by the report of Mr. Harris, are as follows: 4{t. S$ in. gauge road, equipments and buildings will cost $1,006,573.— The total of the superior 8 ft. gauge will be $915,418, and the total cost of the interior 3 ft gauge will be $717,908. The total distance is 49 7-10 miles for the line of the 4 ft. 8} in. road, and the same distance for the superior 3 ft gauge road. The total distance of the 3 tt inferior road is 47 3-10 wiles. It will be seen that the lowest estix mate is $13,064 per mile for a narrow gauge, when it was expected that such a road can be built for $9,000 to $10,~ 000 per mile, including outfit. Mr. Harris says the work can be done in all probability “much less than his estiHarris has, contrary to an expreSs uns derstanding had, made a survey fora broad gauye road, and then estimated the cest of building a narrow gauge road on sucha survey. In his report’ of estimates, in speaking of Nevada county, he says: The superstruyture is estimated as follows : For a 4 feet 8} in cauger—iron, 2,158 tons at $75, $161,475; fisn plates, spikes and bolis, $12,330 ; switcues and trogs, $1,500 ; ties, $36,300; distribution, material, track laying, etc., $16,240. Total superstructure, $227,840.— For 8 fuot gauge—$217,945, the only difference being in cost of ties. For Inferior, 8 feet gauge— $205,200. “fhe énly difference bere made isin} the cost of ties, where one of the chief advantages claimed by the friends of Q Darrow gauge road is the difference in the cost of iron fer track, and also “forte entire superstructure. It is claimed that a broad gauge,over a comparitively level country would cost $24,000 per mile, while a narrow gauge over the same couatry would cost only from $8,000 to $9,000 per mile. But Mr. Harris makes it cost for a narrow gauge road in Yubaxounty $11,464 per mile,and only $14,889 for a wide gauge, Every.miner in the country knows what difference there must be in excavating a ditch 4 feet $} inches io width, and one 3 feet in width, and there is as much or more in excavating tora road bed. But Mr. Harris says, while it would cost only $21,911 for excav¥ation for a 4 feet S} inch yauge, between Nevada and Grass Valley, it would cost $20,480 for the same kind of work for a 3 foot gauge. We would like to have contracts for narrow gauge work at such estimates.-_The same contrasts are seen in all the estimates made by Mr. Harris. For instance, ia rolling stock, he estimates the cost of a wide gauge engine at $12,166, and a narrow gauge engine at $10,000, when alton narrow gauge engine costs, according to narrew gauge advocates, $4,500. Bread gauge passenger cars he estimates at $2,750, and narrow gauge at $2,000, while narrow gauge men say they can be furnished at $500 each. In addition to this, we might,as showing the probabilities that Harris’ narrow gauge estimates,say that a road in Colorado, namely the Denver aad Rio Grande Railroad, 850 miles long has been projected, and the estimates over that country, certainly more diifieult than over*our route, is only given at $8,000 per mile. Taking these figures for reliable au~ thority, and comparing them in detail with the report of Mr. Harris, we think we are justified in saying that he has conducted his survey in the interest of the broad gauge party, and regardiess of the express understanding bad by the committee of conference held at ‘Grass Valley: We do not, however, think the survey and estimates are ea~ tirely useless, but we think that they should be submitied by the Committee to BE.
