That Scenic Route-ln speaking OF
the scenic road, W NJ Sparks. OF the
Rio Pecos country, is reported to have
said thtat he regretted that the work
expended on he Las Vegas end had
not been applied in attempting to
provide good passable wagon road
to the Pecos river by way OF Har-
vey's and ELK mountain over which
the business OF the settlements on
that stream would have now been
coming To Las Vegas. At the Santa
Fe end the road has crossed the d.
vide and now, he understands, is to
be diverted from the direct and easy
route down Indian creek In order to
reach some coal prospects on Dalton
creek by the most difficult way to be
found. thus delaying the much de-
sired access - the Pecos settlements.
