THE OVERLAND ItAlXROA
Its Effects in Tico Years, Visible and Wei
Knoicn Its Future A Trij) Over I
jbtc, etc.
Sterles-g (111.), September 1. I ar
rived here yesterday, just two years
from the day I got back to San Eran
Cisco from here. At that time, the old
" Sacramento boat " arrangement was
still flourishing receiving, etc., the
passengers of the overland trains
By "way of recapitulation, or summing
up of what the railroad has done since
with respect to itself as well as with
regard to other interests and institu
tions in that time, a column or so may
not be out of place ; and as Arizona
expects much from the advent of rail
roads, the following paragraphs may
bo as acceptable as anything else,
Two years ago, the enthusiasm over
the celebration of "laying the last
tie " was still quite fresh, and Call
fornia was on tip-toe, as if peering
across the Sierras .to catch a glimpse
of the coming tide which was to rein
augurate the glories of '49 and all
that sort of thing. As ex-Alayor Eel
ton, of Oakland, said the other night
in a political speech, it seems there
were a good many people east of the
Missouri river who decided to remain
there, for some cause, somewhat to
the disappointment of various people
west of the Rocky mountains. In
short, the railroad for the time ex-
ti acted the bung of California, but
particularly San Francisco. The
State is now doing well as could be
expected, but the city at least is not
more than lidding its own.
"Well, California don't happen to bo
the only parties interested. The vast
region between tlie rivers aforesaid
and the Sierra ranjre, have some
claims on the railroad. San Eran-
cisco grew rich and haughty out of
the interior trade, and as sure as
fate, pride must have a fall. The
Great Basm, and all the country and
population subject to the exactions of
the u olden Gate, have moro than
gained in the meantime what the Bay
city lost, and the latter is fairly real
izing her position and looking about
for the proper remedy. After two
years of sack-cloth and ashes, the Pa
cific metropolis has reached her hum
ble level, and the more manly one, as
well, or standing up to the rack under
the new order of things. In fact, the
old "two per cent." a month for
money, and fifty per cent, profit on all
transactions with the remainder of the
coast, arc things of the past, as well
as "steamer day" and the "four
o'clock boat." Alonoy is crawling out
of tho banks at eight per cent, per
year, and more of it, too, than was
supposed to be in the State. Should
next season prove a good one for the
iarmer m (Jalitornia, all disappoint
ments regarding the railroad will have
been nearly forgotten, and the true
prosperity of the Stato fairly inau
gurated.
Two years or so have produced many
perceptible changes have wrought
several significant ones in the case of
tho railroad itself. 'The road has been
extended from Sacramento to the Bay,
and a most costly wharf and improve
ments erected on the Oakland water
front, and that town made the third
in the State. The old navigation
company, that ruled the rivers with
as domineering sway as, Britain ruled
the seas, was deprived ot its occupa
tion at one fell swoop as it were ; was
purchased by tho only rival route of
the great Central .tacific, and now the
latter has swallowed up both tho
former. The Central has extended it
self 150 miles toward Oregon, and has
pushed its double Southern Pacific
routes and branches to the same out
lay, and the work goes on all round,
A great ferryboat, to carry a whole
tram of freight cars across the Bay,
has been built, and all other terminal
improvements increased accordingly,
The great corporation has also gained
the ill-will, for the time, of the entire
people as it were, and both parties try
to outdo each other in spiteful speeches
and promises respecting the concern ;
and ere this letter be printed, one or
the other faction will have secured
tho political spoils of the State for
years through this unfriendly re
n toward the most needed of in-
jrnal improvements on the Pacific
All this is a great satire on
n attairs. Tho "vanity ot hu
shes" seems sadly realized by

stamped along the line, and felt if not
seen on either hand to the depth of a
State or Territory. The businesses it
found and created, have together
startled the capital and country itself
m that short time into rapid construc
tion of two or more trans-continental
railroads. The Northern Pacific is
almost good as completed, and tho two
Southern roads are doubly assured by
grants of land, by favorable climate,
capital in hand and work doing.
Along this chief of all routes (it must
bo so), 1 hud Uhejrenne connected with
Denver, and this last town is again
connected with the cast by its own or
Kansas route. "When I passed west
two years ago, this fact was anything
but accomplished. In looking over
old papers, &c, I find a bit of the first
shovelful of ground broken by Brig-
ham Young near Ogden, for his Salt
.Lake road. Where I then went down
from Ogden to swim in tho "Weber
river, I now see the depots of three
great railrpads. 1 consider the Utah
Central almost a great fact, for Brig-
ham can build it to the Arizona line
in two years and not feel it, and ex
tend it toward Idaho and Montana
accordingly. A few days ago ' ' ground
AvasbroKen" at Elko for the Nevada
Central road, and now several miles
are graded, and that work (grading)
can be extended to the White Pino
districts for less than $200 per mile ;
at least I was told so by a friend at
Elko interested m the stock. At Beno,
a road is projected to Virginia, while
Uarson has been connected therewith
by first-class road. "When you come
down to improvements in tho mining
and agricultural interests, the results
are more felt than seen, and yet vast
improvements aro visible. Prospect
ing has resumed all over the State of
Nevada to a wonderful extent, and
mines and mills and furnaces opened
and erected like magic ; and the pro
duction of bullion in the State quite
doubled. Beeso Biver will have its
railroad connection with the great
overland (at Battle Mountain), and
Austin to-day is said to be alivo with
men reclaiming and looking atter tho
old and now discoveries. The through
overland road makes a double market
for tho ores of small capitalists and
poor men; if San Francisco don't
suit, perhaps New Tork or London
may. And this is something for Ari
zona to congratulate itself upon in ad
vance. Y ltn two roads, and its posi
tion midway thereof, it will be blessed
four-fold in comparison with Nevada.
The politico-religious absurdity or the
age Mornionisni, or at least Polyg
amy is being encroached upon very
materially. Thousands of enterpris
ing Gentiles are interesting themselves
in the mineral resources of Utah, while
tho stock-raisers of tho coast are in
vading the sacred grounds of Zion on
that score, too. In Nevada, one Cali
fornia firm has purchased thirty miles
of the Humboldt river and foot-hills
mac
uWmWmWmWmWk
13 UIU
for cattlo and. other stocks, and Ne
vada has received perhaps not less
than 100,000 head of horses, cattle
and sheep this year from California
alone ; the railroad enabling the own
ers to ship it back again at leisure
when fatted or fattened for market
The great table land or Siberian
steppe, laying 7,000 feet above sea,
and outlined by the "Wasatch and
JLJlack Hill ranges, is being enlivened
by many thousands of cattle from
Texas ; while the great plains of the
Platte are being dotted with the works
of civilization. But really, there is so
much to be done yet ; such a mighty
extent of territory adjacent that is
scarcely explored, that one can easily
imagine why the wilds of Arizona
must bide their time, why, the ante
lope and deer in dozens come up to
within ritle-shot or the cars at ditter
ent points west of the Missouri, and
graze in sight like cattle.
The three million bridgo at Omaha,
commenced two years ago under the
auspices of the Union Pacific Com
pany, is now at a stage that suggests
its completion by early next year. It
will admit of the passage of all river
vessels beneath it; the shitting chan
nel of the Big Muddy making a draw
bridgo impracticable. The peculiar
character of this much-needed struc
ture, is worthy of more than a passing
notice.
On this side of the river another
railroad connection with the East has
been made since I crossed there last
the Chicago and Bock Island road
Tho leading connections are now tho
Chicago and Northwestern (on which
this town is situated), the liock Island,
the .Burlington and tiuincy, the Han
nibal and Northern Missouri, and the
more southern via St. Joseph and St,
Louis tho two latter little traveled
by through passengers. The first
three named have the run, and I think
the Burlington and Quincy is the fa
vorite. Aside from this, there is a
more northern connection east via
Sioux City, Dubuque and other towns
Two years ago, the San Francisco
agencies for these leading connections
were quite a feature, if not actual
nuisance ; now they divide the profits
on a compromise of some kind, and
the Central Pacific Company quietly
sells you a ticket East over these rival
routes of your own selection, and so
you don't hear or see the disagreeable
runners anywhere west or Omaha
And I consider this an interesting im
provement in the meantime.
Finally, the hullabullo and non
sense about Pullman's sleeping and
dining cars tho latter the swindle of
the traveling age as yet is nearly
died out. The Central people brought
out their own (Silver Palace) sleepers,
and made no blow about it, and passen
gers prefer them to tho Pullman ; and
that company also extended the time
for eating at stations, so that there is
no desire to slobber your coffee about
on the cars. It is moreover a great
relief to stop at a station, stretch
yourself, and eat in peace at a fair
price all you want. At most t the
stations rather good looking girls and
women wait on tho tables. In short,
from what I observed two years ago
in traveling over thousands of miles
of Eastern roads, and now after going
and returning over the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific routes, it is not
venality or prejudice that compels me
to say that railroad travel is more
pleasant every way, so far as the cars,
etc., are concerned, to the westward of
the Missouri. There is less shoddy,
as before said, as you go West, "bus
iness" is the word, and mighty few
words about it, either. The quiet
hammering of that great iron batter
ing maching will produce more start
ling effects the next two years than
during the past. It is a most sug-
estive theme, but tho space allotted
to this is more than occupied, so good
bye again. W.
A late letter from Ehrenberg says
business is very lively there ; that up
at Mohave, times have a '49 appear
ance; that 10,000 was received at
Ehrenberg from Mohave by Hooper,
Whiting & Co. at one remittance;
that Bavena had sold a mine in Lon
don for two millions, and that tho
Constancia mine would soon be put
l productive order.
