About ten miles were built and operated, but embarrassment fullowed, and nothing is now to be seen except a dim‘ outline of the: roadbed.

The largest bridge has a span of uinety feet. The ties, bridges and even the telegraph poles are of iron, The-road for its last five miles has a grade of 600 feet, requiring specially constructed engines. The freight cars carry from five tosix tons, and the passenger cars about thirty passengers. A road from La Guira to Caracas, a distance of 22 miles, has been in process of construction for everal years. The track of the road is three and a half foot gauge, It is built on a series of reverse curves having a radius of 140 feet.

It was well k own that the land they purchased was subject to the prior tights of the witmers atid liable to be overflowed and debrised. The re-: sult: wae inevitable, but. when~ this event ocurred they made great hue and cry. “The “debris” of the mines was made the pre text to bleck. mail them in order to get damages or dispose of their land at exorbitant figures, ‘ The cities. of _Sacramento and Maryaville ‘joined ‘im the ery with the view no doubt of either forcing the miners to build their levees to savé themselves from destruction from floods or. that the State or general government would ‘employed counsel, contributed inon’ ey, bat “counted without their host,” Their only suvcess so far-is to near ly . : “kill the goose that has laid. for them the golden eggs.” Tt has been proved in court that from 1848 to 1865 the aggregate amount of detritus coming out-of the mines, from, the, ‘then immense number at work, was greater than at present; that the river beds were fall; the whole Sacramento valley was filled to a great depth by uatural causes that had been at work for ages; thé American river bad’ repeatedly changed its bed and. cut leveling and destructive agencies were still actively at. work. The puny and insignificant work of the Lydraulic miner was, ag jn comparison’ with nature’s powerful agencies, as the labors of the. smallest insect is tu the immensity of the: antedilavian mastodon. As will be seen, should mining ofall classes cease to-day the final result ie inevitable. It is destiny and nature’s laws which are immotable and “unchangeable. Our courts can, as they technically term it, plac “perpetual enjoinders” and as many as they choose on the acts of our Creator.

About ten miles were built and operated, but embarrassment fullowed, and nothing is now to be seen except a dim‘ outline of the: roadbed. About the year 1870, an English company built a two-foot gauge from Tucacas tothe mines of Aroa, a distance of fiftyfive and a half miles, Poisonous reptiles, wild animals, malaria and dense jung amabined to obstruct the building’of the read. The largest bridge has a span of uinety feet. The ties, bridges and even the telegraph poles are of iron, The-road for its last five miles has a grade of 600 feet, requiring specially constructed engines. The freight cars carry from five tosix tons, and the passenger cars about thirty passengers. A road from La Guira to Caracas, a distance of 22 miles, has been in process of construction for everal years. The track of the road is three and a half foot gauge, It is built on a series of reverse curves having a radius of 140 feet. Surve ys have been made for other lines, and aemall amount of grading has been done oa a ruad 40 miles. long from Puerto Cabello to Valencia, Den’t Forget It.
