Sas Francisco. CaL, April 7, 1809
Kd. Wavk: Having littlo to do and much
time to do it in, I thought I'd
again and do some of it.
Almost everybody seem bent to White
Pine, and I thought better of yellow pine, so
I ran down to Truckec to make arrangements
for some. The railroad company are so ab
airbed in advancing to completion the pri

or slow freight is way-billed east of Argenta
point about 05 miles west of Elko. The
present demand for lumber is chiefly at Car
lin, Elko and Whtte Pine. Truckee lumber
men have offered *1,000 per car load to Elko,
but money will not buy the favor, and friend
ship properiy goes for naught in this busi
ness, as it generally should where the public
is commonly interested. Before I
lumber shipped, some other business may
suggest itself or be offered, and I'll presently
take stock in neither White or Yellow Pine.

Elko and Carlin are the attractive railroad
towns—the former having the White Pine
trade and traffic and the latter seeking it with
an energy which bids fair of success. Carlin
is 23 miles nearer by rail, and from 8 to 15 by
wagon road to White Pine than Elko. Carlin
has the advantage ol extensive railroad shops
and liberal strips of arable soil with streams
of delicious water. Elko is an incipient
county seat and has mountain surroundings
in which coal is found in small quantities
with large prospects; and the report is that
rich gold quartz has been found near by
Carlin ha3 the better proscris in sight, and
equally as good unseen. Lots in Elko,
25x100 Teet on the two main streets facing
on the railroad track sell readily at from
$800 to $1,500; in Carlin, 25x80 lots are
freely sold at $500 to $800. Business (?)
bid them up to those figures, and then curse
the railroad company for charging such

prices. My notes
the assertion that notwithstanding thousand»
may be penniless and grubless, yet the man
who has control of the meat and flour at such
times will not sell for what they can afford
to, but for ail they can get. Get all you can
and keep all you get, is a maxim of practice.
Christianity or the live and let live principle
is only practised where self interest does not
conflict. I would almost advise you to re
view your past life and see how much you ve
lost and are likely to lose by a course of strict
and frank dealing. Yon should
