The incorporator5 were doubtless
spurred by the fact that day or two
before, the Union Pacific had declared its
hand by the incorporation of the Nevada
Pacific, which has been before referred to
in these columns, and the details of
which are now given.

ARTIcLEV. The places from and to which
the proposed road is to be constructed, are: A
place called Summit, on the eastern boundary
line of the State of Nevada. near the place
where the old overland wagon road crosses
Phoebe, Nevada, the same being the terminal
point of the Utah Central Railway; thence in
a southwesterly course across the State of Ne

The following were elected directors:

G. Thompson, VIM. R. Davis, G. F.
Bicknell and W. E. F. Deal resigned, and
their places were filed by the selection
of G. M. Cumming, Charles Francis
Adams, j. Gordon Dexter and James T.
Little.
The Board of Directors unanimously
adopted a resolution to consolidate with
the Utah Central, Oregon Short Line and
Utah and Northern railroads. They
meet next Saturday to elect officers, and
Bishop Sharp will resign the Presidency
that Charles Francis Adams may be
elected President.
The fact that the road is to be built as
the Nevada Pacific must not be under
stood to mean that it is an independent
line, it simply being the title given by
the Union Pacific to it's new undertaking
as is usual on starting all important
branches. 1t is announced that the
articles for the California end of the line
will be ready very shortly.
The Supervisors.
