press or of individuals eat no longer either
help or harm, The Railroad Company has,
in the face of mighty opposition put an
effective fereein the field, negociated its
securities, putchased abundant materials
and has to-day as.good a road from Sacramento to Dutch Flat as there is in tlie
United States: The labor has been berculean, but. with almost insurmountable physical obstacles ahead, and sharp and continuous fire in the rear, the great enterprise has
gone on, and the evidences are present all
along the line uf the road that the work
has been hastened in an uncommon degree.
Ten thousand laborers are now employed
between Alta and the summit, and the-C
paty is anxious to hire three thousand more.
Twenty miles more of track will . shortly
laid, and it is the determinati the managing men of the Company, that the iron
borse shal overlook the valleys of the State
of Nevada by the of January. —“Whautever opinions may be entertained relative to
the policy of the Government in granting so
large a tespitary in the mining section of the
State, tv a company, it cannet be denied
that there is compensation and cousolation
in tee fact that the company is engaged in a
great national work, and doing it well.
The objects of interest aleng the line of
the road are few to the eyes of mountain
men accustomed to such scenery. Nut so

of thinge as they few rapidly by. Two
miles above Colfax you pass around a pretock. Therview is terrific. You look down
almost perpendicularly thousands of feet.~
The north fork of the American is far be.
low looking like a yellow thread. The
road from Illinois Town is seen winding
down to the Fiver, and.on up the banke 6n
the other side to Iowa Hill.: It is a fearful.
view. “Should a train of cars ever run off
in passing around “Cape Horn,” death to
every living thing on board and complete
destruction must inevitably result. There
are quite a number of heavy outs and a
great deal of filling between Colfax
aod Alta; but tiding along in. the cars is 8

The-grade wf the: suad above Colfax’ is
