SALT LAKE ROUTE.

SGElchly speaking, the San Pedr
Los Angeles & Salt Lake Raj
road, completed its line betwee
Salt Lake and Los Angeles, an
already it has proven a grea
blessing and benefit to the i'm
mense area of country that
has brought into touch with tn
outside world, and the volume o1
business transacted by this new
road has been much in excess O
the most sanguine hopes anc
expectios.s Of It's promoters. Al
a cutoff from Salt Lake to Lo.
Angeles it has had wonderful
passenger traffic, and it's business
IN the freight-carrying lire ha.
been most satisfactory in every
respect. AS a matter of fact
every officer of the Company is
well pleased with the business
for the first year, but the most
gratifying feature of the build
ing and operation of the road
has been the decided stimulus it
has given to numerous mining
camps and districts along it's
route; and these are forging to
the front in manner that is as
tonishing to those who are ac-
quainted with conditions under
which they formerly labored.
In Lincoln county, Nevada, es-
pecially, are to be seen the
beneficial results of convenient
and speedy transportation, and
in this locality there has been
a resurrection of old camps that
is truly marvellous to behold
while many new ones have come
into existence since it has been
made possible to advantageously
operate in sections along the line
or contiguous thereto. Caliente,
Nevada, has scored substantial
growth since the completion of
the road. Las Vegas, now a
..giant of the desert, F." ows it's
origin and success to this new
through line, Searchlight, .'the
camp without failure" has
more than doubled in size and
Importance since the salt Lake
Route" went through; Nippeno
and Crescent have taken on new
life and vigor, and all is push
and pleasing activity at Good
Strings and adjoining camps;
while, as for Phoebe and Delamar
more heavy W rk and successful
operation is noticeable in these
great wealth-producing sections
than ever before.
Mining camp raffic has be n
heavy with the "Salt Lake
Route" ever since it's first
through train announced the
completion of it's line. S'nce
then there mas oeel q steady I'M |
loading of mining supplies
and machinery of every
kind and character; while, coming
to the smelters of Salt Lake VII !
ley, there has been a constant
stream Of ore which, in itself,
is undisputable proof that in the
country opened up by the road
there abound mining camps that
are rich in their possession Of
great wealth producers.
The success that has ATTENDED
the " Salt Lake Route" during
the past year has placed this
enterprise far beyond the realm
OF an experiment. 1t has 'one
more, for it has demonstrated
the wisdom of its promoters,
aud 1T has given to Salt Lake and
Los Angeles, and intermediate
region, something for which
they will ever feel thank
ful. Salt Lake Mining Review.
j. E. Davisson, the district at
torney of Esmeralda county,

ignified his intention of carrying
us case to the higher courts
