Late News from this Interesting
Section-The Nevada Southern
Building Steadily.

The latest news from Yellow Pine and
vicinity indicates the feverish interest
which was recently manifested in that
section to be abating somewhat, though
all the mining properties are looking rs
well and showing up as much ore as ever.
The working force at the Keystone,
the gold mine Of the district 80 far, has
been reduced from twenty. sixty days ago,
to but three men, who are operating in
various parts of the property. The mine
itself looks as well as at any time in the
past, unless it was at the time the rich
pocket was struck in the first working.
Ore shipments have been regularly made.
Mr.. S. T. Godbe, one of the owners, and
manager of the property, returned there
week ago last Sunday. after an absence
of two months, and the working force
may at once be increased.
Prospecting is going on in the other
parts of the district, as the means Of the
owners will permit. and the possibilities
of the district as great ore producer
become steadily more apparent.
The main object Of interest is the ap.
preaching railroad from COTS. About
sixty teams and hundred men are en-.
gagged in the work. On January 22d
twelve miles Of grade was thrown up and
three miles of track laid, the whole work
being delayed for want of materials.
Water and all supplies have to be brought
from The Needles, and this will have to
| be continued until New York district ia
reached, as there is no water between
the two places.
The contract as let requires the road
to be completed to New York district, 9
distance of thirty miles, by the l4th inst.
but from a general shortage of supplies
and building material this cannot now
be done. In all probability, however
this part OF the line will be finished BY
the end of the present month. A gen
tleman who has just returned from tina
section says there is no talk there of tn,
road being extended farther this way TO
the present.
| The thirty miles of road now in cours
OF construction runs over very leve
section of country. Only two waite
courses will be crossed in that distanc
and neither Of these will require bridging
while the largest fill does not reach fiv
feet.
Recent reports of prospects there hsv
resulted in an influx of men, the major
ity of whom are without means, an
very many are doing nothing whatever
At Vanderbilt, in Vanderbilt district
over $50 men have congregated. NJ
more than twenty-five Of this numb,
are working for wages and very larl
majority of the remainder are withol
means. The place with present prospec
is said to be badly overdone, thong
much hope is entertained for the futur
The place, though small and OF recel
origin, already sports two saloons al
two stores. 1t is situated about sew,
. miles from New York. and thirty mil
from the Nevada State line.
A party of surveyors, supposed to
the party which passed through Piocl
five weeks ago. making for Cedar Cit
have been working in the Muddy Vail,
and west Of there. Their work indicat
them to be following the line of the So
Lake & Los Angeles, or D. & R. G. 81
vey which was projected down the Virg
4 Valley and across that section some thr

Every movement in that country is
