DR.. Faust contributes the following

The good people of Salt Lake are
again talking Salt Lake & Los Angeles
Railroad. This time there seems to be
some interest il the matter. l thought

the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with
various passes, all lower by many

Though u great mineral country; IN
fact, more mining camps by one half
imam any other route. There are manY
thousands of mines and prospects that
can only be worked by the building of
railroad. The mines consist of gold,
silver, lead. copper, large quantities of
iron, mountains of marble. and granite
almost enough to line all the safes in
the United States, AID borax enough
for all future use; rubies and almost
anything that one wants to look for.
There are many fine stock ranches,
some good farming land, and large
quantity of timber in the Sierra
Nevadas, when you get there. There
is not another plscs on the map of the
great west where road can be built
so cheaply or SO easily. nor one that
will pay, after the first fifteen miles is
built, which will bring you to good

reach Skull Valley you will get all the
cedar posts and wood that will be needed
in generations. At Deep Greek you
will strike good farming country, be-
sides a great quantity of ore already on
dumps, awaiting the road. Many
towns will spring up along the line;
stock industry will take new life; Salt
Lake will lind large country for her
produce and merchandise; mills and

kinds OF iron works will be established;
thousands of people for 600 miles will
b working directly for Salt Lake CITY.

Now, let US look around and see who |

and operating railroads, even in our
country. Why should not the people |
of Utah own another road? Yes, one
more? Include the southern extern

he can. In so doing you will not alone !
