There is strong talk ofa branch railroad being built into the Gold Road country. The rumor has it that the old grade of the San ia Fe will be used to below the point of mountain, where it for merly ran down the old wooden bridge, near Powell Slough; thence northerly around the mountain to the mesa country below Fort Mohave, where the road will run into the mountain on an easy grade. With road into the mines of that country ores of a very low grade can be readily worked.-Miner.

On Sunday, Dec. 26th, the Santa Fe & Phoenix Railroad Company began running trains over the Hell Canyon cutoff, which begins four miles from Ash Forks and is about twenty-siX miles in length. While this is only about three miles shorter than the old road, much better service and faster time is made between Ash Forks and Phoenix, owing to the heavy grades on the old line.
