THE SALT LAKE ROAD.
Construction of the New Line to Begin at
Once, es

The construction of Senator
Clark's new railroad between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City is to
be commenced at once. An order
was placed last week with the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Works
for 5000 tons of rails, and the
stock is to be shipped to Southern
California within thirty days,
says the San Francisco Call Sen
ator Clark will be president of the
company and it will have a capi-
talization Of ;,S24,ooo,ooo. ..
The reason for having the rails
shipped to Southern California is
explained by the announcement
that it is the purpose of the pro-
moters to first build line between
Los Angeles and San Bernardino.
The 5000 tons of. rails that have
been ordered will just about build
a track between these two places.
Upon the completion of this sec
ton of the line work will be start
ed at Salt Lake City, the plan
being to have force at both ends
of the line. The total length of
the road will be about 100 miles,
which will require about 10000
of rails. The road will cut through
the Southern portion of Nevada.

Use Of Gypsum.

Messrs. Williams and Adams are
turning out tons of ground gyp-
sum daily from their Empire mill.
The raw product comes from ex-
GovernmssAdams'. mine near, the
Mound HOUSE. This is the great
est fertilizer for alkali soils known.
Benjamin Franklin was the first
to discover the qualities of gyp-
sum as a fertilizer He chose an
alkali fat in Pennsylvania and
with gypsum made in large letters
on the ground the words "the use
of gypsum" For some time these
letters could be seen from a
mountain road for over a mile in
glaring white, After the rains
they changed to green where the
vegetation sprang up. Last Spring
the writer tried some of his ferti-
lizer on alkali adobe soil which
was seemingly worthless. The
land thus dressed was planted to
wheat. The wheat grew rankly
to height Of nearly six feet, and
produced a ton to tile acre of
plump and perfect grain without a
drop of irrigation. The portions
of the field not treated produced
much less than where the fertilizer
had been used. There are millions
of acres of land in Nevada that
can be made enormously product
i've with the gypsum treatment.
Try it and you will never regret it.
