Francisco to remain during the Win
ter. Mr.. Reese informes us that the
company recently formed in San
Francisco to build a narrow gauge
railroad in this county and to engage
in the sale OF lumber hat not yet fully
matured its plans, but it is the inten-
ton to build . road to connect with
the @. & c. The point of connection
has not yet been decided upon, but it
will be near either Benton or Bishop,
probably the latter. The rails on this
end of the B. & B. will be taken up
and used for the new road. Whether
this work will be carried through
next year will depend upon the con-
dition of Bodie at that time, but Mr..
Reese thinks it will be delayed till
next year
