A Railroad Move

The San Francisco newspapers are re-
viving talk of the project to extend the
Carson and Colorado railroad. One of
them has the following.
THE Southern Pacific company is en-
siderng the project of building 100 miles
of railroad to connect Mojave and
Keeler in Southern Callfofpia. Surveys
for this line We're made several years ago
and abandoned, but the recent devel p
ment of Tonopah and the completion of
the Tonopah railroad have induced Har-
liman to consider the project favorably.
since 1t brings the rich mining district in
direct C, injection with Los Angeles and
he southwestern country.
The Southern Pacific road was complet-
ed to Keeler in 1889, when the intention
was to continue to the Colorado river.

Could Not Come to a Better
Place Than Nevada

1t now seems a foregone conclusion
that the railroads running out of the big
cities in the Eastern states are looking
tc ward Nevada for colonization purposes,
says the Journal. 1t is a well-known fact
hat every effort is being made TO induce
some of the residents of the overcrowded
metropolises to locate in the arid west,
build homes and make new country.
Nevada cffers excellent opportunities,
and at the present time, as the irrigation
project now in the course of completion
progresses, the fact becomes stronger.
George l.. McDonough, of the coll MIA
ion department of the Union Pacific
company, who was in Reno a few days
ago, is still travelling through the state
Ind it is understood that he is favorably
impressed with his Investigations and
that good will result on account of the
trip is almost assured.
While in Reno Mr.. McDonough was in
consultation with II. b. Maxson, secre-
tary Ct the National Irrigation Congress.
Mr.. Maxson is undoubtedly one of the

point out Nevada's possibilities to the
