What will be the next thing TO rail-
road for Ely. Cherry Creek and all In
termediate places between here and
Wells. ana even Wells too, 10 the way
OF quick transportation, is the organ
lzation here this week OF the Nevada
Automobile Company, with capital
ization Of 81. 900. divided into as many
shares OF par value OF 81 each.
Enough stock has already been sub
scribed here to make the project sure

money being raised in both Cherry
Creek and Wells. the success Of the
undertaking is beyond question.

composed OF nearly all the business men
of Ely, Cherry Creek and Wells, Is to
establish and operate an Automobile
line between Ely and Wells for the ac-
commod alton OF passengers and OK.
press.
The distance between Ely and Wells
is one hundred and forty miles. When
the roads are In the best condition the
stage takes thirty-six hours TO cover
that distance. This will be accom-

or in not more than one-third the time

the stage requires, which will make 1t
an admirable ride for the travelling
public, and instead of the much dread
ed stage ride, it will be pleasure for
one to get on the Automobile at Wells
in the morning and reach Ely the same
evening, very much refreshed instead
being worn and tired out.
The road between here and Wells is
one OF the best in the State and Is es-
pecially adapted to the Automobile. In
4hs whole distance of lao miles there
are DO mountain ranges or SUBMITS to
cross-nothing but a straight run on
valley road. and during ten months OF
the year this road is in excellent con.
dition. In order to make II perfectly
safe for the Automobile, very little, II
any, repairing will be necessary; the
machine being OF standard wagon
gauge. it will not be necessary to have
a special road, but instead, it will fol-
low the track OF any wagon.

by the new company is built in Koko.
