G~RIDIRONING NEVADA.
Many Railroads Building Into the Deserts
Where Gold AbOunda.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Present appearances
indicate that Nevada soon will be fairly
gridiroped with railroad systems and SEQ
tons Of the State that have been lying
waste will be made to yield their treasures.
Three roads now are engaged in q hot CON-
test to gee which can be first to cross the
southern Nevada desert and two others are
following close on their heels.
Two years ago a road was built from
Sodaville to Tonopah, the furthest point
south which up to that time had been in
habited. One year ago another line was
built from Tonopah to Goldfeld, still nearer
Death Valley. Now a road is under con-
struction from Goldfeld to Bullfrog, still
further south. Still another Ia building
north from w. A. Nark's road at Las Vegas
crossingshev valley to reach the gold deposits
of the desert and the towns that have sprung
up around them. Another line ie building
up from the southwest from d point On the
Santa Ff apd headed for Bullfrog and Gold
field and the camps further north. The
last is known as the Borax Smith road. o.
1t is said that the Western Pacific road,
which the Gould interests are now building,
also has cast covetous eyes or this section
and will build spurs down into it.. As o
step in this direction control has been
acquired Of the Battle Mountain road,
extending from Battle Mountain on the
Southern Pacific south to Austin, a distance
Round Mountain, Manhattan, Tonopah
and Goldfeld.
All this rush Of railroad building in Nevada
is said to be the real reason for the action
recently taken by the Southern Pacific in
reducing passenger rates in the State.
