Needs q Railroad.

Mason Valley is experiencing
quite healthy little boom, and
the price of farms and building
lots is continually increasing. Not
vacant house is to be found III
the town of Greenfield, and new
houses are being built as fast as
carpenters can put them up. New
families are settling in the valley
and the population is increasing
quite rapidly. Times are easier
now than for many years past, the
farmers are getting out of debt and
the entire country is showing thrift
and prosperity. The one thing that
would help the valley out more
than anything else is a railroad
through its upper end. It was a
mistake that the G. & c. road was
not built up thro1g h Greenfield
when it was constructed. Now it
is twelve miles from the heart Of
the valley and this makes it very
inconvenient in shipping and re-
ceiving freight 1t makes it more
expensive for the farmers to get
their produce to market and it cuts
off considerable revenue from the
road. However, we believe that
the time will soon come when the
c. & c. company will change its
adbed SO as to run up close to
Greenfield, and there is also a pos
sibiity that road may run the
whole length of the valley, up
through Smith Valley and over to
California. This would make the
town Of Greenfield thriving little
railroad center, the surrounding
country would be cut up into small
farms and the population quadru-

Another Nevada Railroad.

Messrs. Blake and Crosby, of the
Continental Oil Company, have re-
turned from three weeks camping
trip along the Colorado river in Cali
fornia, where they went to locate a
new line of railway to be know as
the Nnvada Southern Railway.
The new line, for which final sur
veys are being made, will run north
thirty miles from the Atlantic and
Pacific road and will tap the mines
owned by the Needles company in
which these gentleman are officers
and heavy ckholders. The pres
ent output of the New York Dis
trict, in which the mines are located,
is 100 tons day, and if the mines
in the country to the north can give
sufficient ore shipping guarantee the
road will in time be extended on
into Southern Nevada, possibly as
far as the famous Phoebe district.
The cost of the thirty-mile road
will be in the neighhorhood Of
100000, and work will begin as
soon as possible.-DenUer Nems..
