ELECTRIC ROAD FOR THE BRAD
 SHAW REGION.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

A corps of engineers were placed ir the field at Crown King on Monda 7 in running a preliminary line of survey for an electrical railroad to Harring- ton, the the headquarters of the Tiger Gold company as the terminal point. It was expected that a week or ten days would be occupied in this work, and later a permanent route would be laid out
 As outlined in the Journal-Miner. and exclusively so, about six weeks ago, this enterprise was under consid- eration by the Tiger people, and there is now no doubt but what the same is to be an accomplished fact, and that the road will be built immediately is semi-offeially given credence.
 It will be owned and operated by this mining company, and the construction of it is but the specialization of the efforts of this corporation that was in itiated over year ago, or when the Tiger interests assumed such a promin- ent mining regard as to place its futura for years to come beyond the sphere of speculation or uncertainty.
 From a financial standpoint, linked to that of commercial necessity, it will mean only the more of a success to the interests of this mining company as well will it bring many other claims in that section of the Bradshaws under the shelter of modern means of con- munication, thereby solving for au interests along the route it traverses the main evil that has in the past handicapped them in economic and sue cessful management.
 The route that is being run in this preliminary work is a heavy one in grade from either Crown King to Harrington or vice versa. Engineers who have visited that section state that from a cursory examination no less a grade than five per cent is avail able, and that to accomplish this the road must run for a distance of at least eight miles. At present an ex- cellent wagon road runs between the two points on 10 per cent grade, but this has Outlived its usefulness, ow- ing to the heavy traffic in teams this company exacts daily in consumption at the mine, and in production of con- centrates and shipping ores for outward points.
 When constructed, this electrical road will bring many mines into an active sphere, and among them may be mentioned the old Tiger, the Califor- mia, the Benton, the Gazelle, the Castle Rock, and many others that are exten- sions on this belt
 The beginning Of this work signalizes the creation of a new and magnificent era for not only the Tiger company, but likewise to all sections of the Bradshaws. While it is admitted be- | yond any question whatever that the Tiger Gold eompany's interests are a | handsome mineral proposition, the building of this railroad will only the l more enhance their interests and | bring them into a state of prominence | of the highest order. So may it also | be said will this project be the enter ing wedge to stimulate other minerai locations in that section.
 Considering from a broad stand point all things, the construction of | this Bradshaw highway marks the beginning of a substantial regard for the mining interests of that fameI l field, and the mining community | should rejoice in seeing it rushed to completion.
