THE Mounrain Roures.--The Alta a few days since had an article contrasting the comp2rative advantages of the several routes across the Sierra Nevada. Of the Henness Pass route it sys: ‘i In the point of way trade,the Henness route is probably superior to the others, but this advantage is nut suffic.ent to counterbalance the greater distance. has a decided advantage over all the others. Anadditional thousand feet of height at the may add many millions of dollars to the cost ef constructing ‘a railroad, which cannot have abrupt. turns or very -steep grades. With the height of the mountain bicreases the danger of totaliaterruptiun of travel by snow, the expense of keeping the track clear, the cost of freight, and the amount of repairs to keep the road in order. In altitudethe Henness Pass is 400 feet lower than the Truckee, 1,500 teet lower thau the Johuson Pass, and 4,740 feet lower than the Big Tree Pass This isan advantage worth milhons of dollar. tu the Hemiess Pass. eas In the matter of grade,the Hennéss Pass has an equaladyintige. That Pass is on a level with Washve Valley; there is so little aseent going westward through this Pass that the traveler scarcely knows when he reaches the suiomit. There is, at that point, no eastern “slope” to the Sierra Nevada; no western rim to the Great Basin. The western slupe of tho mountaia is more regular ‘and gentle than ubany other plice, In October last, an eightinule team wentthrough the Pass from the west with a load of seven tuns; a six-mule team with three tuns and a half ald two horses with a taa-and three-tourths. We have not the figures forthe loads hauled through the other pass s, but theygire notse large on an average as those tiken ‘through the Heuness Puss. ‘ > M YSTERIEs GF COAL.—For years ne ene would suppose tliat: piece of solt coal, “dug from its mine or bed in the earth, possessed any other purpose than fuel; It was: nex found that it would word a gas which is also combustible.
