 Several weeks ago the statement
 was made by the Salt Lake Herald
 that the building of the Tonopah rail
 road would more than likely be fol- lowed by the construction of cutoff
 or branch from the main line of tbe Southern Pacific from a po.nt in the
 extreme northeastern portion of Lyon
 county, almost due south to Wabuska.
 It was then explained that the cut
 off would save the long, roundabout and tedious haul to Carson and Reno.
 relieving the customary congestion in
 the yards al the latter place and great. ly facilitate the handling of the enor. mcus tonnage that Tonopah and camps
 in that section are sure to provide. That this or some, other scheme of
 handling the business is now being figured out is shown from the follow. | ing from the Carson City News:
 Tt is perhaps an open secret that the recent visit of Manager Agler and
 Division Superintendent Laws of the Southern Pacific to Tonopah, was to look over the roads and figure out. if { possible, how the railroads were go-
 ing to handle the business out this
 way They found so much ore already
 mined and ready for shipment that
 they were amazed and are at loss to devise means of handling it quickly
 and economically.
 "One solution which has bean dis cussed by railroad officials is the build . ing of a cutoff from the c. & c. to Hazen on the Southern Pacific. This road, ifsbuilt. will practically cut Car
 son City off from the southern coun-
 try. and Tonopah trains will no longer , come to the Mound House Tins
 scheme is now up to Mir. Hartman for a decision
