THE Salt Lake Desert News
of the 9Th contained the follow
ing most pleasing and welcome
bit of news to the residents of
this section and the good old
town of Phoebe in particular:
Phoebe is going to have a
railroad at last. According to
information received in this city
to-day from Los Angeles, Cal.
John Weir, President of the
Nevada Utah Mines and Shelters
Corporation, after several con-
ference with officials of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
Railroad, has made arrangements
with them for the early construct
ion of this important feeder,
which will place the old mining
camp of Phoebe in rail communica-
ton with the outside world.
tits understood that Col. Weir
has deposited a fund sufficient to
build the road, on which the Salt
Lake management may draw.
When the road is completed and
opened for traffic, the money is
to be returned in the shape of
credits on charges of out going
freight.
'The grading for the road
was done a good many years ago
but will of course have to under
go considerable repair before
ties and rails can be laid.
For nearly two years the
Nevada Utah Company has been
exerting a great deal of energy
in the development of it's Phoebe
possessions preparatory to begin
ming production upon a large
scale.
The articles of incorporation
of the new road, which is to be
known as the CALIENTE &
PIOCHE RAILROAD Company
were filed in the office of the
County Clerk Eldredge to-day.
The company will build a branch
line from Caliente to Phoebe, a
distance of 80 miles connecting
with the Salt Lake Route at
Caliente. The cost of the pro-
posed line will be $500, 900, The
capital stock of the Company is
$500. 900, divided into 5000 shares
of the par value of 500 each.
THE stockholders are as fol-
lows: w. H. Bancroft, l share;
E. Buckingham, ] share; F. H.
Knickkrbocker, share; j. Ross
Clark, l share; Pennel Cherring-
ton, share; C. O. Whittemore, l
share; W. H. Bancroft, trustee,
lat shares, ]. Ross Clark, trustee,
lat shares. j. Ross Clark is
president and director. w. H.
Bancroft, vice-president and
director; E. Buckingham. C. 0.
Whittemore, Pennel Cherrington
and F. H. Knickerbocker, direc-
tors; w. H. Leete, treasurer; w.
H. Comstock, secretary"
The advent of the road will
surely bring us much prosperity
and we welcome the news most
gloriously; and yet in the face
of the above item, our proverbial
knocker is still in evidence, for
when told of the above and asked
his opinion, he said well it isn't
here yet, and until | see the
locomotive in the flat you can't
make me believe that we will
have any railroad. He is like
the egg epicurean who wanted
fresh eggs and to be sure that he
got them hired a man to watch
the hens lay, and also to watch
the cook when they were fried;
The watcher performed his duty
sven to bringing the plate of eggs |
IN the table, when he was asked |
ARE you sure they are fresh"
Ind when told that they were
'resh from the hen house. said
they don't look good to me I
will have to taste them first. {"
