law OF Sonora imposing an export tax

The Utah Central Heading fol
the Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 31,-A
Chronicle Salt Lake special says
John Sharp, one Of the Directors OF
the Union Pacific who has Just re-
turned from New York and Boston
says that he believes that the Utah
Central Railroad will be extended to
the Pacific Coast, and work on the
extension will be begun in very
short time. Two corps of engineers
will start out in few days, one work
ing southwest from either Milford or
Blackrock, and the other commencing
at Barstow station on the Atlantic and
Pacific road. Both parties will con-
meet at Ash Meadows, Nevada. This
survey is preliminary and the reports
will be sent to Boston for adoption.
This extension will be important to
that section of the system between
Omaha and Los Angeles, and the route
will be shortened in every possible
manner to make fast time. The dis
iance from Milford to Los Angeles by
the former survey is estimated at $50
miles. From Milford the projected
extension will run south, then few
miles north and west of Piocha,
through Pahranagal valley to Ash
Meadows. Snarp believes that Pres.-
dent Adams sees the great value of
this extension and the enormous traf-
tic such road from this city would
have with Southern California.
