THE DEEP CREEK RAILROAD.
The "Tribune" Urging Its Extension
into Eastern Nevada.

it has passed under the management of
Col. Goodwin, has been the earnest ad
advocate Nevada in general and East
ern Nevada in particular, has the fol-
lowing in a recent issue concerning
the building of the Deep Creek Rail-
road. The Tribune's prophecies of
what the road would do for Salt Lake
as well as the country through which
it would pass, are without doubt based
on reasonable and well-founded con.
illusions
"Tho result of the first load of ore
from the ellison mine in Dugway,
particulars of which are published
elsewhere in this impression, is mat
ter Of extreme satisfaction to the Tri-
bune, because il, with other develop
ments which are going on in that and
other districts, makes the beginning
OF the vindication, which we knew
would come, of all our statements
relative to that mineral belt, which
extends from Stockton To almost the
Sierra Nevada mountains.
For several years we have been
telling the people of this city, with
all earnestness and sincerity, that in
that direction lay the future great
hope for the city, and for the prop
erty values of the city. We have told
them that if the men of means here
would make little struggle; assess
themselves for enough to start road
in that region; begin the enterprise as
they would begin any other enterprise
in which their enthusiasm was enlist
ed, it would he possible for them to
build the road without great outlay
of money on their part; that when it
should be completed they would find
that the money put in it was by far
the richest investment they ever made
in the property itself, and thai, bey-
ond that, il would double this city's
wealth, inhabitants, importance and
influence. We have said that it would
set 10000 hammers to ringing in West
ern Utah and Eastern Nevada; that
that would mean population of 50,-
900 people to be supplied; that with
an independent railroad, not under
obligations or engagements to any of
the great trunk lines to cripple its
power the proceeds of nearly all the
mines in that region would naturally
be brought here for reduction: that
would make work for from 800 to
1000 men, which of itself would add
to this city 10000 people; that the
merchants of this city would have
$4,000 or $4,000 more people to sup
ply; that with the road extended, not
only the ores of the West would come
To us, but the beef and mutton and
wool and vegetables of that region
would find their way over the same
route, which would at once add to the
business of the city and reduce the
prices of many necessary articles
which every man has every day to
use. We believe the full vindication
of that is to come about in 1901. We
believe that is little while the road
to that region will be commenced, and
that it will be driven, after it passes
Garfield Beach, at the rate oftwo miles
a day to Deep Creek. That means
that it will be built, equipped and in
full running order in four months
from the time il shall have been COM
menced. We believe that active work
will! be begun upon it next month,
and at the farthest by the first day of
next November the Tribune will have
the pleasure of publishing the time
table of the road announcing at what
hours each day the trains to Deep
Creek will leave this CITY,"
