RAILROAD FROM SALT LAKE
Judge Goodwin Advocates the Bonding
Of Salt Lake City for Purpose Of
Building Line into Ely ~ -
on the ground.

on the ground. sir
A road to Ely is being rushed
now from Cobre, on the Southern
Pacific, but from Ely to this city
direct line would be $50 miles
nearer than via Cobre, or unite
five hours travel by IA fast train,
and that road will not pass near
any of the intervening districts
mentioned above.
When moving for ii greater
Salt Lake, we cannot understand
why the business men of this
city hesitate for a moment over
this project. With survey
made which would cost very lit.

more than half the distance a sur
veyor would only have to drive
on a trot in order to report its en-.
tire practicability, and from end
to end does not present one engi.
neering difficulty, and with the
contracts for ore secured, it
would be easy to float bonds for
the whole amount, and then the
stockholders would be able to
meet all the fixed charges, the
operating expenses, lay by. a
sinking fund which would take
up the bonds in fifteen years, and
then divide half a million among
themselves annually. I To; take
the figures which Ely men make
and claim are conservative, this
amount would be multiplied by
five. #a l''.4,%fE u
Then the effect upon Salt Lake
would be to double it, even while
Ely was taking on the proper,
tions of a city. The miners fam
lilies would live here, their chill
dren would be educated here,
their trade would be here.
What would Denver do were
such an opportunity presented?
What would any town excepting
Salt Lake?

The Chamber of Commerce did
a useful stroke of business at its
regular meeting, last Tuesday
evening, by petitioning for ge-
illogical survey of our great cop
per deposit, in the following res
olution, unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED By the Chamber OF
Commerce of Ely, White Pine
county, Nevada, that the stu
pendous magnitude and value OF
the copper deposit discovered
and partly exploited at this
place, being apparently the great
est known in the world and
therefore matter of worldwide
interest, should be studied and
mapped and reported upon as
soon as possible, by the United
States Geological Survey, and to
the end that it's development may
be pursued with whatever aid the
sciences of geology and mineral
ology are able to contribute to
the work, and
RESOLVED That the Senators
of our state in Congress, be earn
estly requested to use their best
endeavors to secure the study,
survey and report of quadrangle
completely covering the deposit
which we think would require
dimensions of at least 10,OOOx5O,-
600 feet, by the United States
Geological Survey, at the earliest
possible moment, and furthur to
secure the publication of: pre-
liminary report without waiting
till the full study can be COM
pleted. And

fine copper ore is being taken
out, and the G. ID. will doubtless
prove to be a large and profitable
producer when properly opened.
Tom Hyndman is working on
his lead and silver property, and
is showing up some fine ore.

whom there no newspaper man
on the coast is better acquainted
with the conditions, in an editor
ial in Goodwin S Weekly of April
9TH, strongly advocates the bond
ing of Salt Lake city, for the
purpose of building a railroad
into Ely. The able editorial of
the gifted old journalist, is re-
produced below
1t is a pity that by the mandates
the Constitution of the state,
this city cannot bond itself to
build q road to Ely, Nevada.
The road could be built and
equipped for $4,000 per mile.
1t could, before expending more
than $500, obtain contracts for a
freightage of l,00O tons of ore
per day for years to come, at So
per ton, or, running 800 days in
the year, be sure of a revenue of
5000, 900 per annum. If one third
of that amount were needed for
operating expenses and repairs,
then 100000 per annum would
be left. That would be equal to
30 per cent on the entire cost of
the road, or Z per cent on the
bonds, per cent for sinking
fund, and 16 per cent for divi-
dends, which would, devoted to
the city's needs, clear it of debt,
and in twenty years make it the
splendor of the inter mountain
country. But to the 1000 tons
guaranteed, there would be ad
ded probably 1000 tons. more
from the districts this side of Ely,
certainly 1000 tons more from
Ely itself. Then there would be
1000 tons of coal to carry west;
there would be the passenger
travel to and from Dugway,
Granite Mountain, Gold Hill,
Deep Creek, Munsey, Orem,
Kearn, two or three other dis.
tricts, and Ely. There would be
at least a part of the merchandise
to Ely and to all the other dis
tricts named here, and Ely is GO
ing to be as big city in the next
ten years as Butte is now; there
would be the trade of the best
part of eastern Nevada. If any
other road sought to parallel this
road, still the contracts would
make the road solid as a great
paying property. and it would
have it's full share of all the other
business.
If any, as is the rule, sneer at
the foregoing, let such an one
combat the figures from any
standpoint, for it must be remem-
bered tnat the developments al
ready made bear out the figures.
Water and fuel are scarce along
this line, and the miners in all
the districts until Ely is reached,
would prefer shipping their ores
rather than to try to reduce them

RICH STRIKE
ON DUCK CREEK
Two-foot Ledge of Ore Assaying II
Per Cent Lead Uncovered by
B. c. Gallagher

a two,foot ledge of solid ga
lena, assaying II per cent lead
and carrying good values in sill
yer, was discovered last week by
Bud Gallagher, three miles north
of McGill's ranch, on Duck
Creek. The ledge outcrops on
the surface for 500 feet, and sam
pies taken at different points
along the vein show but little va
ration in values.
Sixteen claims have been 10.
Gated in the immediate vicinity
of the strike, and prospectors are
giving the district more thor
ough examination than it has
ever received before.
The new discovery lies about
II miles northeast of Ely, and
the Nevada Northern railroad
will pass within two miles of it,
assuring cheap transportation of
the ores to the smelters.
M. M. johnson, who has taken
the claims under bond, left for
Salt Lake city, Monday, where
he will form a company to de-
velop the mines. D. G. McDon-
aid, one of the leading mining
men of Ely, was over to the new
discovery the first of the week,
and reports the surface showing
to be one of the best he has ever
seen in the state.

Louisville and Nashville elevator was
carried away; trees were uprooted:
houses were unroofed, and vessels in
the harbor began to drag their
anchors, being slowly but surely
forced upon the beach. At the height
OF the storm, between 8 and a a. m,
the water rose eight and one-half feet
above normal high water mark, being
the highest known The great pro-
lection afforded by Santa Rosa Island
saved Pensacola from more severe
sufer1ng. The entire water front
property was inundated. the water
reaching as far as Main street. and
all houses along Main street, many in
the vicinity of Muscogee wharf and
houses along the entire water
'front.' in the western portion of the
city were either carried away COM
pletely or irrepairably damaged.
Muscogee Wharf, belonging to the L.
& N. r. r. Co., was broken in two in
the middle and the tracks on either
side Of the main deck were washed
away. Thirty eight coal cars which
were on the wharf were washed away
and five large vessels are flard ashore
at the head of the wharf. The timber
boom between Muscogee wharf and
Wright's mill was broken and the
timber cast adrift; this timber and
wreckage of every description is
damned upon the beach in torn and
twisted mass. Wright's mill is prac-
tically destroyed and its three
wharves washed away. The ditch
running through the mill property
caused the water to back up in the
low ground north of Intendencia ST.
where several cottages were inundat-
ed, the water in places reaching
depth of ten feet. About the greatest
havoc was wrought along West Main
St, the south side of which has been
completely washed away Beginning
at the corner of Zarragossa and Flor

Desilva mill has been destroyed and
the mill which caught fire from some
wet lime is total loss. The houses
on the north side OF West Main St.

the tracks of the Terminal. Co, is
filled with rubbish of every descrip-
