Elko's Possibilities.

AAS . HObbLOlutl0op
Mr.. w. 1. Plumb, Vice-President
OF the Mountain City Board of Trade
writes - follows to the people OF
Elko county. His letter deserves a
careful perusal by the people of this
county:
To the people Of Elko county:
We are going to construct a first
class wagon road north to connect
with the Oregon Short Line at Noun
tain Home. Our object is two fold.
First to secure competitive railroad
rates. Second to demonstrate to the
men who are building the railroad
from Nampa to Silver City that we
have country in Elko that. will just
lily them to- cone this way. They
are thinking of tapping the Southern
Pacific at Winuemucca, and thence
southwest to the coast. We know
that the route by the way Of Noun
tain City, Columbia, Lime Mountain,
Tuscarora and Lone Mountain, thence
to Elko and south through our rich
valleys all Of which are hanked by
mountains charged with rich ore is
far superior to the one already mem
TONED. But it is evident that the
people in charge do not know it, and
it Is our intention 70 in form them.
The Mountain City Board of Trade
will send committee to lay the mat
ter before Col. Deweyand his associ-
ates. They will explain that the
mountain chain from the Mardis to
Lone mountain is one vast store
house of undeveloped mil eral wealth
capable OF sustaining vast popula.
tion of the best railroad customers in
the world; VIZ, miners. They will
explain the commercial importance
of the city of Elko and the advuu-
tage south from there to the coast,
for they will be men that know every
foot Of the ground from Boise City to
Los Angeles.
Will the people of Ellxo county help
the grand enterprise along? Will
they ask their Board Of Commission
ers to put themselves in communica-
ton with the leading business men of
Boise, Nampa and Silver City? Will
they go to the newspaper men and
have the m write it up, to the mer-
chants and hotel men and get them to
talk it up; for it means transfer
nation for Elko county and can be
made to whit we work together with
will.
