LAYING Of RAILS
WILL SOON BEGIN
New Road to Stretch
to Fall River Mills
Country.
Capitalists Procure Right Of
Way and Construction
Will Be Rushed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Dec. H.-St Louis railroad
and mining capitalists have procured
the right of way for a sixty-n1ile railroad
from Bella Vista or Kennett to Fall
River Mills, passing by the Bully Hill
smelters and through Thomas B. Walker )
great timber holdings. They agree to
begin actual construction of a road cost
surveys have already been made and d
local engineer and party will take the
field with $50 900 cash at their disposal.
The road will follow the copper belt and
traverse a rich area Of farming and tim
ber land. There is every reason to be-
lieve that its projectors purpose to ulti-
mately extend it from Fall River Mills
across the Oregon line 100 miles distant
10 connect with a branch of the Chi
cagO and Northwestern, giving transcon-
tinental connection.
The road is projected by the recently
incorporated Shasta Mineral Belt Rail-
road Company. .. P. Doak of ST. Louis
is president and T. A. johnson of that
city Is secretary. Both are railroad men.
The other directors are mining capital
lists of New York. The scheme has been
fully investigated. Moving with all pos
sible secrecy, the company has run pre-
liminary surveys and has procured agree
ments for right Of way deeds upon the
condition that actual building be started
within two months. Samuel Z. Braczins,
ex-CoUnty Surveyor, has been chief engi-
neer.
The road viii either follow Pit River
from kennett or from the terminus of the
Terry Railroad at Bella Vista, twelve
miles from Anderson It is believed that
Thomas B. Walker, the Minnesota lum-
Der king, who has acquired immense tim
Der holdings along the line Of the road,
is interested or has a contract with its
builders. The projectors are believed to
nave plans involving the development of
copper and iron properties whose present
remOteness renders them improbable.

HANNA
Is the Logical
Candidate,
According to the Claims
of His Friends.
If Prosperous Business Conditions
Continue He May Run.

Washington, May 9.-(SpD-Senator
Hanna left Washington yesterday for
Philadelphia. whence he will go to
Cleveland, leaving Washington for the
entire summer.
Mr.. Hanna, has frequently denied
or made light of the gossip associating
his name with the Presidential nom
ination in 1904. He, like other astute
politicians, knows that 1t Is a far cry
to 1904, and that who Is to be in at the
killing is a thing which will depend
much upon the ground to be traversed
and the possible accidents by the
way.
The expressions credited to Mr.. Per
ry =. Heath In London, favorable to
MIR. Hannas nomination by the Re
publican party are generally regarded
as an expression of friendship. yet a
good many men, some of whom are
close friends Of Mr.. Hanna, express
the opinion that IL the present bust
ness methods of the country result
in permanent prosperity he will re-
ceive credit for wisdom and courage
which might make him a candidate in
1904 regardless of how he may feel
on the subject now.
