OPENS RICH MINERAL LANDS

Assnrance has been given that the
Oregon Short Line viii extend its new
Houston branch to salmon City within
the next few months. It has been re-
peatedly stated that the Short Line
contemplated tapping the rich Salmon
river mineral region when it decided
upon It's extension to Houston. 1t is
expected that no official announcement
of the intention 10 build in The imme-
date future viii be made until after

understood that this extension is one
Of the subjects ne viii take up. The
statement is made by one cf the Of
ficials of the road, however, that the
extension has already been decided
upon, altho gh there are some points
III connection with it still to be settled
upon by Mr.. Hartman.
The region to be tapped by the pro-
posed extension is one of the richest
mineral sections in Idaho. salt Lake
capital is largely interested there al
ready, while other districts not di-
rectly reached by the railroad viii be
given closer rail connections, to the
advantage of Salt Lakers who have
put their money into the mines. The
Blackbird Copper company, headed by
DR.. =. A. - Franklin, for example,
viii be brought into closer touch with
the outside world, rendering shipments
easy. The LUCKY Boy mine. operated

Jacket, Leesburg md other mining
districts with great tonnage possibili-
ties viii be given facilities for ship
ping such as they have never before
possessed, and a mining boom in this
part of Idaho is expected 10 result.
Spurs viii be run to tap the districts
promising sufficient tonnage TO warrant
such a step, and profitable traffic is
expected.
The proposed route goes from
Mackay, the present terminus of the
branch, up Willow creek, across to
Challis, and down the Salmon river
The Mackay branch is still in cor
troll of the engineering department. but
it is expected that the road will be
turned over to the operating depart
