T11E OVERLAID ROUTE.
FROM NEW YORK TO RAN KRANCIfc-CO.
BY KORT1IWF8T.
Glenn Iamh.tiik. Nye county,
Nevada, A n I ai, y:7.j
From New Tork to Sun Francisco by water
la (In ronnd number) five thousand five Inn
clrcd miles. The trip by tcumcr via Anplnwnll
and raoama occupies twrcty-two days. Over
land it Is but three thomnnd three hundred
mllc9, and wllh the present mode of conveyance
occupies about sixteen devs. Though at tho
present moment the tbeapent and Wat (align
ing route a by steamer via the IbIIhuus, yet
they who prefer the rolling prlric and the
Rocky Mountains to the "dark blue sea," nmy
find as much excitement ar.d amusement a
Will recompenso thtm for their rxlia expendi
ture of money and muscle. The vast and un
precedented growth of the Wcetcrn rtntod, and
the marked advance of civilization even west
of tho MlHslmlppl. must strike tho mind
of the most ordinary traveller, while the skill
exhibited by the settler In developing tho re.
sources of nature will divide his attention with
the beauties of tho lundscupe. In no Journey
will 3fru find a lnrger stretch of well-cultivated
lands, or find the arts of agriculture more
plciisiugly diversifled with the charms of nature.
The firbt part of the route, from New York to
Tittsburg, afterwards to Chicago, is familiar to
every Ameilcan. Nor is there anythiug beyond
this granary and Omaha that calls lor special
stteLtloo. The journey occupies sixty hour,
the distance being 1400 mil". Here we lnave
the Missouri liver, and at once find ourselves
on the riains. To the dwellers in cities tuc
mode of trunsit across this apparently bound
less level is not the most distinctive icaiure of
the Overlaud ltoute. Long trains of witjjon,
seldom lees than six, aud clleu amounting t
ten or twenty, each drawn by twelve oxen, or
as many mules, give an animated aspect to a
Eomcwhat monotonous landscape. Hut the
wagon-train of to-day will soon be superseded
by the cars of tho Pacific Kailroad, for if con
tinued with the present energy, the wuolo will
probably be open lor traffic in three years iroai
this date.
The prairies are of threo kinds; the heathy or
busby, the alluvial or wot, and the dry or rolling
prairie. On the tirst aie loundshrubd of various
descriptions, the prapevine, and innumerable
flowers, and the botanist finds full scope for his
specialty. On ihe second, especially in connec
tion with certain streams, the ponds are full of
flab, aad, when left high and dry by the heats
of summer, are a source of endless quarrel and
gluttony to a host of buzzards, as welt as rank
poison to the pure air, while in ast'ito of decom
position. But it is with the third that the tra
veller becomes most familiar; the favorite
haunts of the bu fl'alo, and in autumn the love
liest flower garden ot the American continent.
At this season of the year nothing can turpass
the charming mixture heath and harebell aud
cactus, for this last thrives here as well as in
Sicily, though the flowers are Invariably scarlet;
and even the gastronome, the most pitiable or
ail tiybariles in this home of nature, must ceasu
to dream of alo and lger as he revels in the
glorious coloring of this Moral paradise.
From Omahaio the eastern base of the Rocky
Mountains the distance is five hundred and
twenty miles, and this portion of the Pacific
Railroad will be completed at an early day.
Here commenced in former days the realdlth
cultyand danger of the California emigraut, and
a premature und miserable death bus often been
tho only reward ot the enterprising traveller
who committed himself to tins inhospitable)
region at too advanced a period of the year.
All, however, is not sterility. The summits ot
the mountains aie barreu to a degree, but
sheltered valleys abound with the finest aud
most fertile soil, studded with pine and spruce
and other tereblnihlne3, while the wild saee
assumes the height of a small tree. The dry
air throughout this portion of the route has a
singularly exhilarating ell'ect; the heat, even at
midday, is seldom oppressive, while tho nights
are unsurpassed in loveliness. Not even in
Australia is camping-out a more enjoyable
necessity. Besides the pine groves, the natural
ist finds numerous animals to note and study,
the i woodchuck, said to be good eating, aud
"the dog without a tail." Deer abound of every
description, anl the wild turkey may occasion
ally be brought to bay. No traveller should
cross the Plains without a gun, and his rod
would also atl'ord him excellent amusement, as
the streams aie tilled with delicious trout. From
the Missouri to the mountains there are nume
rous routes, ou each of which the Iudians are a
continual bugbear. The wagons toll along at
the 1 ate of from twelve to twenty miles a day,
and continued vigilance Is requisite throughout.
The Overlaod stage coach, generally drawn by
six horses, rattles along a,t the late of seven or
eight miles an hour. Tne passengers are
allowed three meals a day, and for these the
stoppage is usually thirty minutes, bleep
must be taken in a sitting posture, but after
the first night or two no inconvenience is expe
rienced from the novelty of the position. All
this will ere loug be superseded by the luxu
rious sleeping car, and a trip to San Francisco
from Boston or New York be completed with as
little fatigue as a voyage across the Atlantic.
In the heart of the Rocky Mountains are the
Colorado gold mines, and they who doubt the
paying character of this branch of industry have
but to visit Denver or Central City to dispel the
delusion. The estimated population of this dis
trict is upwards of fifteen thousand; five years
ago it did not number two thousaud, and was in
fact a mere collection of log huts, mingled
with the lodges of the Indians. From tho
eastern base of the Rocky Mountains to Salt
Lake City is 500 miles. The Bait Lake valley is
charming in all its natural features. The Ameri
can is only tilled with shame that the Government
has permitted the apostate Young to dwell here
so long In peace, with his tbounaud wives, to
the utter disgrace of the nation. From Salt
Lake City to Austin, Nevada, is three hundred
and fifty miles. This city contains a population
of about ten thousand, und is the point from
which radiates nearly all the business ot the
State, as it is near the centre, aud will eventu
ally become the capital. Nevada, last year,
added to the treasure of the world over
f 30,008,000, nearly $3,000,000 a month. It is by
this enormous production of bullion she has
pained for herself the enviable title of Silver
State. California is the golden and Nevada tho
silver State of the woild. Fifty miles south
cf Austin is the timous Mammoth dis
trict, in which the mines of vhe Hamilton
Company, of Philadelphia, are situated, and
which bid fair to rival any on the coast.
The developments of the mines in Central Ne
vada establish the fact beyond controversy that
companies organized on good ledges, with
prompt and couipeieut superintendent.-, ran be
inade to yield larger returns on tho investment
of capital than almost Buy other branch of
industry where large amounts are required to
