Hon. Saml. Fl. Adams, who is takin
an active and efficient part toward til
advancement Of the much mooted Pre-
ject of opening Up the navigation c
the Colorado River, and who has ais
taken a deep interest in the PROPOSE
ton to connect South Eastern Neyad,
Arizona and the adjacent country will
tie East By railway communication
called upon US yesterday. He is on hi:
way to Washington where he hopes t.
secure to these undertakings the assist
auce of the Government. We learn
from him that a steamer has just been
built at Stockton intended for the CO.
l1rado trade-Collvile, (Which is in
Nevada being the point to which she
will make her trips. We are also in
formed by him that the Colorado is
easily narigable by steam craft, and
that the stories to the contrary, are
as be knows from much experience and
observation, without foundation in
fact.
look at the map of South Eastern
Nevada, North Western Arizona and
Utah, will demonstrate that the
practicable navigation of the Colo
RADIO is the only fact that need be es-
tablished (taken in connection with
the well known mineral wealth of Ari-
IONA, Utah and Eastern Nevada) to
warrant the construction Of railroad
connection Herewith, either through
the medium of the projected Southern
Pacific Railway or By a branch road
from the Central Pacific or Union Pa
oifc Roads. The Southern Pacific
Road is declared by Government eng;-

interest is felt in it by capitalists in |
Pittsbnrg, Cincinnati and other western |
and southwestern cities. No doubt il |

hsps within a very few years after the
Central and Union Pacific lines have
demonstrated the vast value of the Pa
cifc Coast and China trade-and it is.

ernmen, to help it along but it Seems
clearly demonstrate that branch

line between Nevada and Utah 10 Coll
vile would be cer:ain to make rich re

ers,l Districts Of Pahranagat and White
Pine, and all the wide tract of valuable
mining lands lying adjacen. thereto on
either hand will very soon demand the
largest facilities for travel and trans
por;ation.
The r..hIic men, the press and the ;
citizens OF Nevada should feel strong I
lterest i'll this matter. There are all t
be needed proofs at hand that the Co. .
