OUTLOOK FOR THE NEVADA SOUTHERN.
There was considerable talk yesterday
on the street regarding the prospects of
the road, in the light of the revelations
regarding the insolvency of Isaac E.
Blake, the New York capitalist who was
the original protector of the enterprise
and is its president.
In the early part of the week the
creditors of the road held meeting in
this city for the purpose Of formulating
some plan by which the property might
be relieved OF its entanglements and
placed upon a paying basis. The plan
OF reorganization, ii agreed to by all the
creditors, will possibly result in work
resumed and the road carried on to
completion. Isaac Il. Blake has, it is
understood, resigned his position, albeit
he will retain an interest in the road.
A rumor is afioat that the Santa Fe is
interested i'll the reorganization plan,
with view to securing a controlling
interest in the completed road as
feeder OF the main line.
If the creditors consent to accept
bonds of the road it is believed there
will be no trouble in pushing through
the reorganization and speedily extend-
ing the road on 56 miles from Marvel
to Good Springs. This will require
about $3.50, 900, and there is said to be
TN excellent prospect of getting the
money in New York.
1t is not intended to extend the line
farther than Good Springs, which will
add about 80 miles to the so already
built from Blake on the Atlantic and
Pacific road.
While these rumors are afoat they
are merely rumors. 1t is currently re-
ported by those who ought to know
that the Los Angeles and Salt Lake
company, which quite recently filed
Incorporation papers. is practically
reorganization scbeme of the Nevada
Southern. Whatever truth there may
be in this is hard to say, but certain it
10 that affiliations are close. The plans
of the latter are being kept very close
pending financial and other arrange
ments in the east.
SALE CT LOST BAGGAGE.
All lines OF road have an accumula-
tion of miscellaneous articles which have
been left in the passenger cars by travel
era who apparently had lost their heads
before losing their movable traps, The
Southern California has such large and
varied assortment OF goods on hand that
a sale of these effects is being contem-
plated.
1t is scarcely conceivable how some OF
the articles left on the train could pos
sibly be dispensed with. To the mind
not trained in the devious ways of GER
tain travellers, it appears impossible that
a man should sit in HE shirtsleeves,
leave his coat behind him in the passen-
ger car, and shortly after fall into con-
vulsion OF penitence over his negligence
in the Office of the baggage master when
he appeared to claim the lost property.
An aged lady, however, took, TO speak
vulearly, the "entire bakery" this week.
She left her act Of false teeth in pae-
senger car in August, and appeared at
the depot yesterday TO claim them.
Wherever were her wits when che
meandered off without her teeth? There
were two sets of false teeth, strange to
cay, in stock, but they didn't fit the old
lady's iaws, and che went off disap-
pointed.
There is a perfect glut Of parasols,
umbrellas and valises and this, perhaps,
might be expected, but what about the
