Sig Steamship TraveI-One OF

workers home 10 at Manville. the
present terminus OF the railroad. He
atates that his company is at work at
present in building from Manville to
Vanderbilt, distance of five miles.
This is done in order TO haul out the ore
from the latter place and ship to smelt-
ers at Pueblo, Col.
The Nevada Southern is now 20 miles
long, but he expects to begin the extern.
sion to Good Springs. distance OF
nearly 30 piles, very shortly. Although
the road is very short it has always paid
operating expenses and something be-
sides, and when it goes into Good
Springs it will pay handsomely, as the
lead ore from the latter mine ie very
rich and will be shipped to the Needles,
where smelter will DO built. When
traokage arrangements are completed TO
Los Angeles it will pay still better. Mr..
Van Deworker thinks that such an ar
rangement will be made in the very near
future, and ne looks for the very speedy
completion of the remaining distance
between Manville and Milford.
He gave the HERALD yesterday very
comprehensive description OF the route
through which the read would have to
build to got to Milford. From Mound
vile to Nevada stats line the road will
follow the Ivanpah valley on an old dry
lake bottom. At present this land is
worthless practically, but water can DO
secured by sinking wells 100 feet deep.
After the state line is reached the
Pahrumph valley is entered, in which
are located the keystone mines IN one
direction and the Goodepring mines in
another. Beyond the latter, still going
northeasterly something like 40 miles,
is the Las Vegas valley. This valley is
possessed of much good land. Mrs.
Stewart has ranch here which con-
tains $500 acres, 10 of which ia set out to
fruit. From this valley to the Muddy it
ia another 80 miles and more good land
is reached. In this region are located
the Ferguson mines.
The next valley is the Meadow, come
thing like 20 miles long. II is So miles
south OF Milford, the present terminus
OF the Utah Central. Twenty-Five miles
west OF the valley are the immense iron
and coal fields. The coal 10 called lig-
mite, and the largest vein ia IA feet, with
an average of eight feet. The iron con-
sists of whole mountain.
Milford is located upon what is known
as the American desert, and aside from
it's mines has but little else to commend
it. The country from Milford to Salt
Lake is generally poor, with here and
there spot better than the balance.
The railroad which was graded from
Milford south for 100 miller, is owned by
the Union Pacific, or was up until re-
Gently. and was built during the time
that Mr.. Adams was operating the COM
pany as president. 1t was built aa
feeder to the Phoebe mnes.
Mr.. Van Deworker Gays that the
country has world OF resources in it.
and that its mines alone will make mill
ions when opened. 1t will require the
railroad to open them, however.
WILL EARN IT'S SUBSIDY.
Power was turned on the new Pssa.
dena electric lins about 8 80 O'Clock last
night for the first time and two short
cars, with No. 10 in the lead, in charge
of officials OF the road, left the main
line for trial trip OF the newly con-
atructed railway. They ran out as far as
Sycamore Grove, about three miles from
the city and about two miles from Gar
vsnzs. The power was amply sufficient
and the cars were able to run along very
smoothly. The return trip Yves made in
Is minutes from the end of the line
to Buena Vista street bridge without any
effort at speed.
In the party were General Manager
CLARK, Superintendent Aiken. Chief
Engineer Larabee, Chief Electrician
Pemberton, Superintendent of Construc-
ton Sheddrick. Master Mechanic Cor
don, Assistant Engineer OF Construction
Bemis, ]. NJ. Jessup, chef engineer of
the Terminal railway, and Master Me-
chenic Stephens of the cable division.
Today regular half hour trips will be
made over the new line as far as Syca-
more Grove, and the evening car will
run through to Garvsnza. As fast as
possible the line will be extended to
Pasadena. The road has been con-
structed OF heavy 7 rails and well
ballastsd with gravel. When in perfect
shape it will be fine piece OF road.
By reaching Garvanza today the COM
pany will earn its subsidy of $4,000.
When the proposition was first before
the people few months ago it was looked
upon in tho nature OF bluff, but like
other undertakings OF the company un-
der lite present management, everything
has been carried out in good faith and
strictly up to agreement. The new line
will be an important feature to the rail-
way service of the city.
