The terminal of the new Tonopah roao
since its completion is a scene of great
iAg hlIed ana shipped out daily and heavy
shipments are being made. The mines
shipping are the Montana Tonopah, Tono-
pah Mining company, Curtis & hlage
lease, January. Combination, Bowes 4
kernick lease, besides a large portion OF
all the other producing mines. AS soon
as additional rolling stock arrives. which
is now on its way, the present shipments
VIII be still further increased, as the com
of cars. The switches to the various
mines on Mount Oddie will be completed
in another week. which will greatly fa-
cilitate present operations.
There is a strong possibility that the
,ronouah Railroad comnapv will axtand
its line into Goldtield before Ing. Thurs
day preliminary survey from Tonopah
into Goldfeld was begun and from
sources that are reliable information
comes that the company is str ngly in
clined to the belief that Tonopah is
permanent camp. Goldfeld is twenty
seven miles distant from Tonopah and
the road to 1t can be constructed at an
expense no greater per mile than the
Ton pah road. The grades are not excess
s.ve and there will not have TO be any
tunneling. 1t is now the plan, if the road
is built, TO start from Tonopah and not
from Goldheld junction and to run the
line past Gold m. untain, which gives
promise of rich ore productions. If the
road is built 1t will undoubtedly put Gold
field to the front in manner that bids
/ fair to overshadow Tom pah, for the
wonderful mines at Goldield only seem
TO await high development in order to
make them the most remarkable in the
world.-Journal.
A dispatch from Tonopah says: There
is weeping and lamentations in China
