from San Francisco are facts, il will come

III be happy yet. The incorporation to
run its road through the southern part Of
Nevada aud Utah Is called the United
states Central. and IS backed By some Of
the most prominent railroad men and
wsalthiest capitalists in the country.
The line OF road extends from San Fran.
cisco. California, to Denver, Colorado.
where it will connect with a system Of
roads to Chicago and the East. This
road will be 1000 miles in length and
will extend branches t. tap other roads,
among which will be branch to tap the
Atlantic aud Pacific in Arizona. Articles
Of incorporation were filed at Denver on
the 3lst OF October, but the head offices
are 20 be established in San Francisco.
The terminus in San Francisco will be at
North Beach. The route thence extends
20 the ocean shore and along the coast to
Santa Cruz. 1t then runs eastward and
intersects the Southern Pacific near Ma
ds-a Station, through the foothills OF
Fresno and Mariposs counties to the Big
Trees and Yo Semitic, over the the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, tapping on the
eastern slope Candelaria, Aurora and
Columbus. From Columbus the road
runs nearly due east across Nevada. pass
ing by Tempiute on its way to Crystal
Springs, Pahranagat Valley. Much OF the
road surveyed through Southern Nevada,
between the western slope OF the Tem-
piute Mountains and Columbus, runs
through dry lakes, the bottom being of
hard cement. Running through these
lakes there will be but little grading re-
qaired to be done, as the surveyors, after
having completed running the line across
the country some two years ago, on their
return, informed Us that there was one
stretch Of y miles across a lake bottom,
that the heaviest cut to be run was but 5
feet in depth, but in crossing the mountains
AZ Terpiute there was some very heavy
grading to be done, or else tunnel run.
Al Crystal Springs a branch road was
surveyed to the Colorado river, striking
Il in the vicinity Of the ferry, then rum
ming from the Arizona side and tapping
the Atlantic and Pacific. Another branch
road is partly survey from Crystal Springs
70 the northwards, presumably for the
purpose of tapping the Utah Western
near Side Hill station, where that line of
road is now heading for. The main line
of the United States Central leaves
Crystal Springs eastward, coming
through the gap at BENEFITS Springs,
eighteen miles southwest of Phoebe, and
running down into Meadow Valley
Wash. At the Wash, couple of miles
below Panaca, surveys were made in sew
erzl directions-to the north, south
and east-very likely with q view of
taking up and holding the passes best
suited for constructing roads through.
The line run to the northward was sur
veyed up to Dry Valley and through by
Flat Nose to Desert station, where . sur
yeying party from the northeast run line
down and intersect it. From the Wash,
the main line Of the United States Cen
trail will most likely run due east to Iron

the Utah Central, extending down from
Salt Lake. From Milford it will run
easterly through Halls Valley to Denver.
The road is already located over eight
hundred miles east OF San Francisco and
two hundred miles west of Denver. II
