THE NEW RAILROAD.
h viii Open Up q Rich Portion Of
Nevada.

Nevada.
A correspondent OF the Elko Fret
Press, who has been over the pro-
posed route Of the new Los Angeles
and Salt Lake Railroad, writes 9
lengthy and interesting article To
that paper descriptive of the country
through which il will pass. He says
1.-THE entire distance from Salt
Lake to the Sierra Nevadas is abou,
800 miles, and the distance does moi
present any engineering difficulties
or surveying obstacles to the con-
structlon Of a first-class road. The
distance from Salt Lake to Los An
geles is estimated to be $40 miles,
and it is estimated that 800, 900 per
mile will be sufficient to tpild and
equipthe same.
"The Salt Lake & Los Angeles air
line will leave the Utah Southern at
Milford, entering Nevada about 3S
degrees north latitude in Eagle Val.
ley, run southwest through Meadow
Valley Wash and Mormon Canyon
to the old Moapa Indian Reservation
on the Muddy, passing north of
Charleston Peak, and passing Pah.
rump Valley to the Armagosa Valley,
south Of Ash Meadows, where it
crosses the California line.
"The great deserts of Ralston and
Armagoss lie north of the line of the
road, and the exceedingly productive
valley through which the Muddy
passes lie south OF the road.
"The point of entry from Utah is
about 20 miles northwest of Phoebe
and 60 south of Osceola, and about
80 miles south OF the latitude OF
Austin aud Eureka. This road
passes through one of the most in
teresting and productive regions in
the State Of Nevada, lying between
latitude 36 and 81, covering not less
than 12O townships watered by the
Virgin, aud Las Vegas riv-
ers, where, it may be said, is the
home of the lemon, the lime and the
orange. with all other semi-tropical
fruits; also tobacco, cotton and mute,
and in many places within this region
their growth is prolific.
Besides this the road will come
within close proximity to over 40
mining districts OF gold, silver, oop-
per, lead and iron, and mountains Of
salt; in fact this highly favored
country contains more or less of all
the metals known to commerce and
civilized man."
Continuing he says; Southeast
ern Nevada has heretofore been re-
garded. not only by Eastern people,
but even by some of our own citizen.
as a dry, barren. desolate waste that
never could be fully reclaimed for
The use of man, and only fit as
home for horned toads, scorpions
and the like. But the real facts OF
The case are to the country. In
many places the country is dotted
with springs of hot and cold water.
Pure cold spring water can be found
in most places by sinking few feet
below the surface, and the soil is
sandy: much like the land in Apache
county, Arizona, where corn and
melons are raised 10 abundance.
The writer urges that at the com
ing session OF the Nevada Legisla-
ture no hostile acts shall be intro
iuced to hamper the building OF this
road. but on the contrary its con
struction should be encouraged, for
great benefit will surely be derived
from the building of this road
through the State.

tion at this pacific step, the reply states
5thatsitiis evident that there can be no
general negotiations between China
and the powers, SO long as the mlnls-

Had Distinct Meaning. 81
It developed during the day that the
reference to the powers" employed Ia
the American reply was not withou: a
distinct meaning. Exchanges between
the various powers have been going on
constantly. and as a result the officials
had the satisfaction OF knowing late lii
the day that the position of the United
States had the approval and support OF
all the great powers. While this had
not been expressed in any formal man-
ner by all the parties, yet the exchanges
in the chancellortes Of Europe and
through the foreign representatives in
Washington had made 1T positive that
the powers were acting unitedly in ap-
proyal OF the course OF this govern
ment. Y
The Attitude Of Russia. y
The presence of the Russian repre-
sentative was gratifying in clearing
away some apprehension. which was
not shared by the government here. rs
to Russia's course in authorizing N. De
Giers to leave. Pekin Under Chinese es-
cort. It was pointed out that this in no
way brought about a difference between
the attitude OF Russia and that OF The
other powers, as all were acting on the
theory that the Chinese government
must first give an absolute guarantee
for the safety OF the ministers. II
seems evident that this absolute guar
antee cannot be given by China unless
1t allows the International forces to en-
ter Pekin, so that In effect the Russian
position does not differ. materially from
that OF the other powers. At least
Russia is included among those who
fully approve the course tukcn by the
United States.

George A. Polltz. the Greek candy
manufacturer, who murdered his part
ner. Peter stantos, has made a clean
breast of the whole matter. and to-
night told the 1ntelllgcncer representa-
tive a straightforward story, which In
dicates that the man has almost su-
perhuman nerve.

hearing to-day caused the accused to
make confession, and that he had
told Jailor Richardson nll about 1t. The
1ntelligencer representative tonight
gained admission to the Jail.
From his own lips came the blood
curdlIng story Of what has been re-
garded as the most heartless crime ever
committed in this city, although after
hearing what seems TO be q frank, open
statement. one must believe that there
are some mitigating circumstances IN
the case tafters all. HR story is .thnt he
murdered stantos on the night OF: May

About midnigh: he and Stantos were
closing up their books and became In
voived In IN alteration, and after
blows had been exchanged. he struck
stantos with a glass .or large extract
bottle, crushing his skull.
He says he gathered the man up onto
a cot, and iabored for three hours to
bring him to life. but he died. This
whs so near daylight that he had no
time to dispose of the body. and he
kept him covered up until after mid
night on the night of the 18th, when he
dragged the body Into the cellar. and
covered 1t up where It was found. He
claims that he did not aim to kill him,
but after he Ind done It, he knew
nothing else to do but to try to conceal
It.
