RAILROAD extension from Milford to
Iron City has bern decided upon by the
Salt Lake papers if no one else. The
proposed route of the extension will, it is
said, bring the railroad within three
miles of the Cave mine and will cut
thence directly through the Minersville
and Parowan canyon to the Rush Lake
valley and thence to its objective point
at Iron City. If the route is really as
above stated it will bring the road to
within Is miles Of this city, instead of
thirty as at present. We would remark,
however. that nothing official or at all
definite is known of the intentions in

The GREAT WHISPERING GALLERY
In speaking Of the most wonderful canyon
known on earth, the Arizona Champion
says that "The transmission of sounds
along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
has for years been a matter of surprise to
the prospectors and miners who frequent
at intervals the isolated sections. Since
the advent of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad to the Colorado river there is
basis to form some idea of how far sounds
are transmitted between the walls of the
chasm. A train Of cars crossing the
bridge at the Needles can be plainly
heard on quiet day at Cottonwood Is.
land, distance of eighty.four miles.
The fife and drum at Fort Mohave is
distinctly heard at Bulls Head, dis.

OF the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can
be heard at Ell Dorado Canyon, distance

to the clerks office ct the court house.
The people of this place can now have
their dispatches sent accurately and with.

unreliable man in charge of the office at
Phoebe again, for surely our people have
been troubled with such nuisance for
the past several months.
