"In the article from the Railway Age,
published in the HERALD published to-
day. but % miles of new track is credit
cd to Arizona for the first half of 1884,"
said United States Marshal W. K. Meade
yesterday. "That is an error. as the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road,
now being rapidly built with view OF
reaching Phoenix by January 1st had
90 completed over 23 miles of road south Of
Prescott prior to July lst, and now have
80 miles ready to lay rails upon so soon
as they arrive. In addition to this 80
miles were built and cars in operation
between Bowie station on the Southern
Pacific and Solomonville. The Copper
Queen company of Bishu have also ex.
tended their road some Is miles, most OF
the grading having been done prior to
July 1st."
Mr.. Meade said the territory was just
now very active in railroad develop.
ment, and stated that from a point on
the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix
road, come 10 miles north of Prescott,
road was being extended to the United
Varde copper mines at jerome, some 3O
Iniles in length. This is being built in
order to handle the copper of that re-
Qon. He said the deposit wac very ex-
teneive, and would be worked at
profit Of at least 81 100000 year.
WILL BE WORTH MUCH TO THIS CITY.
w. Kesley OF San Francisco, man
who for 15 years lived at Phoebe, Lin
coin county, New, is in the city. Mr..
Kelley is interested in the Yellow Pine
mining district, and 10 familiar with
every portion OF the route ever which it
ia proposed to build the Salt Lake rail
road. He said that it would make Los
Angeles the first place on the coast with
out question, as the mines were rich
enough in Southern Nevada and Utah
to do what the Comstock and other big
properties up north did Tor San Fran
cisco. The Keystone mine over there
wac working a 10-stamp mill and pro-
ducing $4,000 q month in gold. The
ore from the mine in which he was in
terested showed rich assays. One piece
which he had with him showed the
enormous amount of $62l0 to the ton.
The average was $50. He WAS satisfied
from all that he could learn that there
was every proepect OF the road being
built very soen. In addition to mines,
which stand first in resources, there is
much good land for both grazing and
agricultural purposes, and very heavy
bodies of timber of o commercial char
acter. Mr.. Kelley said that the people
of Los Angeles could form no idea of the
immensity of the region between here
and Salt Lake, and how eager the peo.
pie were to secure the completion OF
railroad connection between the two
points.
