Tonopah will have at least one rail
road. Reno congratulates that camp. !
even thought this towr. will hardly |

The Journal had the p,.aslre CT an |
interview yesterday at the Palace no.
tel with j. Irving Crowen. president !
and general manager OF the Los An ]
geles, Daggett and Tonopah Railroad |
Mr.. Crowell said:
Our road has been surveyed and
construction work will begin in thirty
days We expect to have our track
into Toncpah within ear
Here IS map Ct our line. We
start at Daggett on the SaEte Fe. the
present terminus of The Clark road
from Los Angeles 10 Sa,- lake The
road will traverse Death Nal!ey On the
eastern slope OF the Pananint noun
tains. where we have plenty Of good
water We expect to have this per
ton of the read completed before not
weather sets in, if possible.
Some CT the points reached by tie
! line ere Saratoga Springs. Anvil
Springs. Calico Hills, Sr,u>. Lake, I.cn
Mountain and Salt Spring, Marty
the entire region is rich in minerals,
especially silver. Eitre, torax and iron.
We have already contracted for q
daily tonnage Of twenty cars, eEci0-
sive OF TOnopah.
The read will be about $50 miles
long and will run almost directly
north. following the troc! Of the noun
tain ranges, which, as ycu know, are
nortl and south.
The grades are easy. Two per ce1t
is the heaviest our surveyors encoua-
distance Three per cent is the sharp
est curve, which evidences the sDlen-
did topography CT the country for rail
road construction.
The road has been Planned for az
ore Cutiet to the sneite"s Of Williams
Arizona and Southern California, but
we expect to have q large carryins
trade in other forms II freight al,
the passenger traffic will be no sIr4l
item in the earnings CT the road.
While Tonorah IS our objective
point, | see no reason that the r0ac
Will not be extended farther north il
