And whereas, Our interests are intimately connected by business relations and similarity of mining interests with the State of Nevada;

And whereas, Immense mineral developments have been made along the route from Boise City, Idaho Territory, to the State of Nevada, during the past year, insuring a large increase in population, and more than corresponding increase in business and communication between those points, upon which a company is already organized to run a daily line of stages, to commence service early this coming Spring;

Your memorialists would, therefore, most earnestly, but respectfully, solicit, that daily service be put upon said route, from Boise City, in this Territory, to the nearest practicable point on the line of the Pacific Railroad, in the State of Nevada, at a price corresponding to the importance of the service, in order that the population of the large tract of country dependant upon said service, and who are a source of large revenue to the Federal Government, may receive such mail facilities as their situation and business indispensably require.
