Great Future for Region
'T have no doubt but that the Tono-
pah and Goldhed region offers a very
great future. The discovery of the
Comstock and other mines and their
assistance in the development of San
Francisco need only be considered to
appreciate the impetus to growth for
both Los Angeles and Salt Lake
through the opening up of this new
region lying within striking distance of
both cities, and giving promise of sur
passing the Comstock mines in rich
ness.
ut will be Of inestimable Importance
to both cities and each in a different
way. TO Salt Lake city would prob
ably go the ores for treatment, as that
terminal Of the Salt Lake road has the
smelters, coal and coke which Los An
geles does not have.
"On the other hand, those people who
go in there must depend largely on
Southern California and Los Angeles
for their food supplies. The country is
rapidly filling up. There are large
numbers of people now waiting In Salt
Lake to get into the region 1t offers
almost limtless possibilities for devel-
opment.
TN three counties of Utah and within
striking distance of the Salt Lake road,
mining experts report 600. 100000 tons
of iron ore in sight and which will run
sixty per cent of iron. Added to this
there are 300 miles of coal fields un-
developed.
"The Salt Lake will shortly build a
spur twenty-five miles in length from
Lund into the heart of this rich mining
territory.
Towns are springing up fast and
Las Vegas will 1 believe shortly be-
come one of the most fourishing viii
lagos in the state of Nevada.
Railroads Prosperous
western railroad conditions were
never better in all their history and
never has the future been brighter
Tht Salt Lake will not take business
from other roads, for all of them now
will have all they can well take care of.
Capital is looking westward and
toward the Pacific coast. The resources
of the Rocky mountains are to be de-
veloped. AS yet we have not begun.
'The commerce of the twentieth CEN
tury is to float on the Pacific. The
trade with the Orient is already we'll
under way, and as soon as hostilities
are at an end in the east there is
certain to be a great impetus in all
lines of trade.
Before very long there will be a line
of steamships plying between San Pc
dro and the Orient. With the San
Pedro breakwater completed the har-
Dor can shelter the navies of the world
San Pedro is the outlet to the sea for
Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is today
l believe, the most progressive city in
the country. The energy with which
it's citizens work and the unity which
marks their movements toward any
public end is marvellous. I believe that
is one of the great secrets of the citys
present position as a municipality.
''There need be no rivalry between it
and San Francisco, for both are to
have all the commerce they can take
care Of"
Mr.. and Mrs. Kearns, with David
Keith, who is also stockholder in
the Salt Lake, will leave over the new
road Thursday in Mr.. Kearns' private
car for Salt Lake city. They will make
leisurely trip, which is to be largely
one of inspection.
Within the next three weeks SEN
ator w. A. Clark will be in Los An
geles, when another meeting of the
stockholders will be held, at which
time there may be made public some
of the future plans of the Clark-Harri-
man road.
During Mr.. Clarks visit in Los An
geles the official opening of the road
will probably take place.
