FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1871,, ee ae Narrow Gauge. a The economy of narrow, as compared with brdad gauge railroads, says the Grass Valley Union, has become a subject.of very general discussion in the Atlantic States, and much conflicting testimony is being presented by those claiming to be good authority. What is asserted to be ‘‘a fair estimate based upon a system of careful calculation,” shows the cost of superstructure for the different gauges,from 4 feet 8 1-2 inches, the common standard, to 2 feet, which is the narrowest gauge ptacticable for roads doing an ordinary passenger and freight business, about as follows : Gauge of Track.

To the saving thus shown in favor of the narrow gauge, must of course, be added that resulting from the adoption of steeper grades and shorter. curvés than wo be—possible—in—building « road of the standard gauge; the less costs of locomotives and rolling stock, which diminishes in a ratio proportionate to the reduction of gauge; the econ‘omy of working expenses, and the smaller amount of fuel consumed in proportion to paying tonnage moved. We give these calculations in the hope that someday or—other, the subject of @ railroad between Nevada, Grass Valley and Marysville, may be taken up, considered and worked out. Grass VALLEY I1EMs.—We get the _ following from the Grasa Valley Union of yesterday: The politicians of the Democratic persuasion are making the town very lively. The primary elec tion takes place next Saturday and will be a very animated one, not to say a bitter fight. “Pelitics makes strange bed fellows,” we have beard, and of { late we see the truth of the saying. ( In Grass Valley we observe that many who have been fast and warm friends heretofore are now scarcely on speaks ing terms, and those who have been enemies of proneunced hostility are-as shick as three ing bed. The “buzzing” runs through the day, and far into the night./ We are: oot a prophet nor the goo at a prophet, and we therefore can not tell how the primary election of Saturday next will result, but we will bet a new hat that one side or the other will get whipped. We were gratified at being able to state in our last, that our county jail was, Jor the first time since its erection without a tenant, On Wednesday a woman named Kate Smith, was convicted before Justice Paynter of drank and disorderly conduct, and sentenced to $30 fine or fifteen days imprisonanedt in the county jail. Aethe fine was not forthcoming the unfortunate woman was taken to Nevada by Mar shall Harris, to board out the fine at the expense of the county. Charley Kent, who will. be aomina~ ted for the State Senate by the Repub. licun party, Wasin Grass Valley Wednesday. Mr. Kent travels a great deal in pursuing his business as a cuttle buyer, and is therefore posted as to the crop prospects. He informs us that in Colusd county the crops are very poor, butthas in Butte county, near Chico, the grass is splendid. Charley Kent is guiny to corral that ‘nomination if the Repaclicans do justly and act sensibly. Two Chinamen, arrested for fighting on Tuesday night, not having’ the ‘whérewith to satisty the coin penalty for indulging ia that particular sort of pastime, were sentenced to five days imprisonment each in the calaboose. The Marshal, however, finding work for idle hands to do on. the road, the Heathen Chinee were accordingly “put to it.” Two white men onthe same evening got-into a little muss on Mill etrpet, fot whieh they plaaked down a gsr ee Mw crow titfough the columns of the Sac+ ramento Record of May 20th. He says: In Nevada county we find an oc-casional spot, here and there, where ia a locality to be irrigated, vields favor able crops of fruit and grain, but these spots are so seldom niet with that our county can claim scarcely any chars ‘acter on their behalf. He admits that a splendid quality of grapes and other fruits are raised here, but adds, that this branch of industry fails of pecus niary success, and that the uncertainty of _cropsoccasioned by Jate frosts, the difficulty of procuring water tor irrigation, and the high price uf labor, compels this admission. It compels no such thing, it is an er~ Toneous assertion from beginning to end, and detrimental to the best interests of the county. Aside from mining, Nevada county is rich in resources. The. fruit which has already been -raised here will vie with the worldin delicacy of flavor, and will yield as much per acre as elsewhere, Go where you will through the county, oar fruit growers pronounce it a paying business. Occasionally a late frost will . blight certain kinds of fruit, peaches, for instance; but need an orchardist depend entirely on a peach crop? As for irrigation, wherever water can be . procured for mining purposes, it can be for irrigation, and small quantities which would be of no use to the miner, would be of the utmost value to the agriculturalist. The Pacific Ruilroad bas opened a wide market for our fruits. The most perishable can be converted into brandy, grapes into wine, and no fear of either Spoiling. and wine have been made here. Silk culture has only been experimented upon, bat sufficiently well to prove it a decided success. Mulberry trees do not require irrigation after “they are a few years old, and will pros duce better food for the worms withs out it, as water makes the leaves more or less watery. This writer says that “little means and big perseverance is all that has been done, and all that has been claim. ed for these industries.” Why is it all that has been done? Because a portion of our community who are ener~ getic workers, came here with the idea of mining uppermost in their brains. They meant to get rich in a week, ora mooth. How many of them suceeeded? The other portion may have been suffering with the sanie malady, which the writer says his wife is, viz: laziness.: Doubtless he is constitutionally tired himself, else be would have posted himself better in regard to facts, and the interests ofthe county. Why has it been claimed that only smal) means and perseveranee is necessary for thege industries? Because it is in the means of nearly every one to make a beginning, and grow rapidly into a larger ecale of business, and because the soil and climate are 80 favorable. Had one-half the capital that bas been expended on mining operations in this county, been expended here on these industries, our population «would be as wealthy again as they aretoday. It would have established a permanence which caa never be as long as mining is considered our -only resource. Not until our hilis and waste bed ruck are covered. with vines,-iruit trees. and mulberries, can twe Boast of @ perma. nent, contented and wealthy population. Nevada county can be made one of the richest counties of its size “in this State, or in eny State in the Union, What do we want of a railroad to conmect us with the Central Pacific? Is it to bear away the immense amount of gold which our mines yield?.No, we } want to freight it with sparkling wines and luscious fruits, and whatever else we produce in quantities larger than is required for home consumption, while ‘it brings us in retarn what is now brought in freight wagons.
