1t is the site of Thebes, the city OF
100 gates, the great metropolis OF an
cient Egypt, the home Of kings. On
the left bank OF the Nile rise the ruins
of Karnak and Luxor, on the nghl
those Of Goumah and Medinet-AOon.
Around them, stretching into the des-

the strength and grandeur OF a lost
civilization.
The great temple of Karnak was
god OF generation. Twenty-four thou
sand years before Christ the first
sanctuary to the god was built by
Osirtaser l. Like the DelphiC temple
in Greece this temple became imme-
diately the national monument Of
Egypt and every sovereign of each Sue
ceeding dynasty had but one great aim
to mark his reign by identifying the
temples which had been erected by his
predecessors or by constructing new
buildings, whose size and dignity
should eclipse all those which had
been raised by countless toiling slaves
OF former kings.
II was this ambition which drove
Thoutunes II. to raise the Obelisks, mar
yels of airy grace, one of which stands
today in New York, one in London
and one in Paris. 1t was this which
impelled his son, Thoutmes Ill, to

granite the more modern sanctuary of

time is so short that no road can get
in and comply with the terms in the

II not already accomplished new
railroad incorporation of great local
importance will shortly be filed in

be is not known, but the line will be
in the sole interest of the Oregon

ton of it's old surveyed line to Los

on the completed grade and runs in
southwesterly direction.
The matter is being kept very Sc
cret: in fact all the Oregon Short
Line local officials declare there is
no such intention, that there no nee.
cessity to incorporate in Nevada to
hold the grade, and that they know
nothing about the matter. Owing
to the fact that the officials refuse to
talk, the full details of the plan can.
not be procured at this time. The
road will be Incorporated, however
in Nevada; it will be a continuation
of the Utah & Pacific and thers il
every reason to believe that with the
Oregon Short Line behind it, the
actual work will commence this
spring. Whether the Utah & Pacific
directors will be in the new company
is also unknown, but that road would
derive great benefit from the exten.
sion, no matter who builds it.
It's said that Lincoln County, New
is heavily burdened with debt anc
that it is expecting the future taxa
ton of the railroad company to lf
this burden. 1t was the fear of thii

The branch from Clover Valley
junction to Pioche is but following
out the outline of plans of the Union
Pacific when it graded the line in
1890. The Importance of road to
this district is too well known to
need further mention. There are
plenty of good proT critics here which
only need transportation facilities to
make them paying producers.
From Glover Valley to Good
Springs, the line passes for nearly
200 miles, through what is said to be
a belt o. carboniferous limestone,
which is well mineralized, carrying
gold, silver and copper. There is
also large deposit of manganese in
Lincoln county. As far as agricul-
tural products are concerned, the
country is partly barren, but the
short route to the Pacific is what
would in the future, prove of the
greatest value.
