To build a mining branch has always
been considered the neryiest undertak-
ing, as the old time conservative
railroad builder wanted TO see the
wheat, corn or fruits Of the field and
orchard, before laying his rails into
that country. But here In the west,
that belongs to the old school OF rail-
reading ANA the modern builder sees
not only the vast tonnage Of ores but
the equally large tonnage Of supplies
going IN. The farm supplies the mine,
and with both to draw from, a trans
portation company can be insured OF a
splendid return on IT'S Investment.
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT,
1t IS interesting TO note, however.
that in the development of It's agri-
cultural resources the Salt Lake Route
has not been idle. In this respect al.
most as great advancement has been
noted as IN the development OF It's min
eral resources.
This has been observed an along the

endeavored to get a route that would
satisfy Chief Engineer Virgil NJ Bogue
and his superiors.
THE PROSPECTIVE ROUTE.
II present plans are followed. the
Western Pacific, after leaving the Great
American desert viii run almost due
west to Silver Zone Pass, distance Of
about q miles, and then the survey
goes across fat valley crossing the
Nevada Northern at Goshuto. about %
miles from Cobre, the northern tormin-
us Of the Nevada Northern. A few
miles west Of this line the Western
Pacific will cross Flower Lake pass
which is about 2S miles from the Ne
vada- Utah state line. At this point an
ordinary switchback will be built which
will be used until the long tunnel at
this place is completed This plan Of
building shoo-nys win be carried
through so that the road win N COM

temporary tracks viii have gradients

until the grade with its big fills and
tunnels is eventually completed when
Gould will have the quickest route
through to the Pacific.
TWO DISTRICT SURVEYS.
At Flower Lake pass, the engineers
have made two distinct surveys. one
of them is for tunnel TO be 1900 feet
long and the other is for a tunnel $500
feet long. In these two plans there is
a difference Of about miles in the
length Of the road In keeping the grade
down. out of Salt Lake the Silver
Zone tunnel will be the first cncoun-
tered. This viii be $500 feet long,
with six-mile approaches on either side
to permit Of an easy grade This tun-
mel, which is to be bored by the Utah
Construction company, will be built.
upon the same lines as the famous AS
pen tununel on the Union Pacific.
Shafts will be sunk at intervals, and
while the forces are working into
the hill from either portal, gangs OF
men will be excavating both ways from
the bottom Of the shaft.

SALT LAKE ROUTE.
Some years ago when the salt Lake
Route was first projected, 1t was con-
ndently expected that the new line
would develop a wonderful amount OF
traffic Its most enthusiastic project

the possible business TO be derived
from tributary territory, failed TO fore

belt OF lime stone, spoken OF IN gem
eral way. But It was not until the
rails were laid that the country was
really prospected with the result that
today some OF the busiest camps Of the
west are located along the route of this
new line to California.
At this writing, the company has in
mind several extensions, aimed to de-
velop still further mineral resources.
one OF these, the Phoebe branch, win
positively be built and barring delay
IN receiving material will be complel-
ed 70 Phoebe early next summer. An
other branch talked Of, but not settled
yet, is one leading west from Tmtic
towards Deep Creek, the goal Of Utah
railroad builders for the last quarter
Of n century.
