WHAT THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
HAS TO SAY.
The Nevada Southern to Connect at
Provo With the ID. & X. G. w.
Resources Along tho
sfl Route.

From Salt Lake Tribune, Dec. 49,
The coast line is coming, not in tn,
dreamy distance, but in the new year o
1894.
The California and Nevada Southerr
will reach Iron county in four and one
half or five months.
This is the statement made to a Trib-
une reporter by Captain Il. Il Foxweii o
New York, of the California and Nevada
Southern, at the Knutsford last eve
ming. Captain Foxwell arrived in the
city from the east yesterday. Asked il
his visit had anything to do with the
railroad OF which he is the head, Cap.
tain Foxwell said: "Oh, no, | have
seen little of Salt Lake, and l made a
brief stop here. | expect to return in
February for longer stay. My trip
combines business and pleasure"
Twill your railroad from the coast
reach Utah this year. Captain ?'
II prefer to tell you what we have
done to what we will do. really have
nothing of special interest about the
railroad at present. The line is being
pushed towards Utah right along. and
we will reach Iron county in four and
half or five months"
when will you reach Salt Lake ?''
We will not come direct to Salt Lake,
but will connect with the Rio Grande
Western at Provo"
This line will give Salt Lake a direct
route to Southern California, and by
next July 1T is expected that a through
train will be run between Salt Lake and
Los Angeles. The new line starts from
q point 100 miles north of Goff, CAL, on
the Atlantic and Pacific, and extends
Through Southern Nevada to Inyo
county, Utah, where the company owns
vast and inexhaustible coal and iron
properties, there to connect with an
extended line from the Rio Grande
Western.
There is unlimited capital behind the
road, and the track will be constructed
30 as to make it safe and fast line.
The grade will not exceed 1s. per cent
anywhere. Notwithstanding the rough
country through which it passes,
Already $600,0O0 has been expended on
engineering work alone.
Captain Foxwell is a courteous and
pleasant onversationalist and told the
reporter last evening little Incident
not, OF course, for publication but too
good to keep.
He was in attendance upon a state
affair Of some kind in London, and
around the festive board were gathered
lords and earls and princes and dukes
aud other royal bric-a-brac. Captain
Foxwell was called on for a few re-
marks, in the course of which he re-
ferred to Utah as the worlds utopia.
Lord Salisbury, the then premier, was
stunned by the statement, and said:
How preposterous, you know!"
mot preposterous, your lordship. if
you will look at it from a questioning
standpoint" replied Captain Foxweli.
''How SO? Why this country go
great, you know? What have you?''
I'VE have gold. silver, copper, coal.
lead and iron. Why, your lordship. if
all the lumber in the world and all the
buildings were destroyed, and II all the
during the worlds existence
had to be constructed Of iron. there is on e
mountain in Utah which would furnish
enough iron for the world"
