EUREKA AND ELY ROAD.
Route May Be Changed to Get Away
From White Pine Summit.

RAohA FhAtC inC Dulilults
Supt. G. d. Abbott Of the Eureka &
Palisade Railway came up from Pail
SADIE last Saturday and left Eureka
Sunday by team to view the new road
recently surveyed between Eureka and
Ely. The heavy SHOWS on White Pine
summit near Hamilton make Winter
travel and freighting very difficult and
often impossible. To get away from
this and to shorten the distance,
the E & P. Company have considered
the advisability Of opening mp again q
long abandoned wagon road. This
route leaves the present road at the
mouth Of the canyon below Pinto, then
it goes to the Maryland Wells and ON
through the Pancake range, then across
the valley and over q low summit q
little north of Round Springs, cutting
out the Six Mile House and White Pine
summit, and coming into the road now
used just south of the Shekels ranch.
This is the only part Of the present
travelled road to be changed, if it is de.
cided to do SO, and after going wei the
route Mr.. Abbott continued on to Ely.
He returned to Eureka Friday noon, ac-
companied by Jack Mckenzie, the min.
ing expert. who went TO Ely a few weeks
ago.. They left for Palisade on the
afternoon train.
