Notes.

1t will be welcome news to every citi-
zen OF Los Angeles that capital ia secured
Tor the completion Of the Nevada South
ern railway. Nor is it alone the people
OF this city who have occasion to
rejoice over this fact; the whole OF
Southern California will be benefited by
the building of this line, and to an ex-
tent beyond the hopes of the most san
guine.
The whole OF the bonds for the road
have been taken by capitalists in New
York. Isaac E. Blake left Denver last
week and arrived in New York on Tues
day to deliver the bonds and receive
the price. In all probability this is the
real foundation for the statement pub
lished day or two ago that parties in
New York were about to build railroad
from Los Angeles to Salt Lake.
Immediately after the New Year
strong force will be put to work and the
road will be pushed toward the coal and
iron fields of Utah as rapidly as posei-
BILE. 1t is hardly necessary to say much
more to the people Of Los Angeles on
the results that are sure to follow. Dur
ing the recent visit OF Mr.. Blake TO this
city, the resources that will be opened
up by the Nevada Southern were ex-
planned at length by him and @. Mul-
holland, and fully published in the
HERALD.
Since then mining development near
the present terminus OF the road, and
farther east, has been prosecuted with
vigor and SUCCESS. Green CampDell OF
Salt Lake is now moving quartz mill
from Milford, Utah, to his mines at
Goodspring. Mr.. Campbell has been
opening mines there for years past, and
has spent many thousands of dollars in
the work. The distance from railroad
made it imprscticable to ship any ore
from the minee, or even to convey ma
chinery there; but having developed
rich mines, and knowing well the vast
resources of the country, he never
doubted that railroad would be built
and then his reward be sure. His fore
sight and courage are now justified and
the reward is within reach. Thousands
OF tons OF ore are already on the dumps
and still greater quantities are in sight
in the mines.
The keystone mine near Vanderbilt
is now q very valuable property.
The mill is running on ore that yields
$3.50 per ton, and there is fine ledge
opened in the mine. This property
alone bids fair to add greatly to the
wealth of Mr.. Blake; he owns most OF
the stock in the mine.
The Nevada Southern now reaches
within 45 miles of Goodspring, and al
ready large quantities OF ore are shipped
from mines that never before paid the
owners one dollar.
The coming year will not be many
weeks old till Los Angeles will feel the
additional vigor impaired from the
6nsiisafw aye"i ftL fBettef service -nah ever
been done for the city than was rem
dered by those who gave the temporary
aid that was asked TO keep work going
on the construction Of the road. The
city has reason to be proud of that class
of citizens and to remember them with
gratitude.
Mr.. r. s. Seibert, general manager
OF the Nevada Southern railway, was in
the city yesterday. In conversation
with a HERALD reporter he said:
The contracts are prepared and will
be signed in few days for an extension
Of the line for 30 miles to Good springs.
1.-The money ia all provided for this as
President Blake few days ago sold
sl50,000 Of the roads bonds in New York
al a very satisfactory figure.
AT Good springs there are valuable
deposits of lead, coal and copper which
will give our line paving business. With
this extension we will have 80 miles of
track.
"Mr. Hazard and his party ought to
arrive here tomorrow. They have put
in 10 days inspecting the resources of
the country about our road, and will
probably have much valuable informa-
tion for the people here"
