Southern Nevada Mining Companies
Reported to Have Acquired Large
Holding and a Railroad.

Il 81 Et
TONOPAH, New, Oct. Pat is re-
ported here that group of wealthy min
ing companies, which is becoming an
enormous consumer of timber, has
Sierras in Mono county, Cal.
The same report has it that the com
pany proposes the purchase of the thir-
ty-fve mile railroad running southwark
from Bodie, and contemplates extend
ing it into the timber belt. and then
connecting it with the Nevada North
ern, which in turn, connects with the
Tonopah Railway. Several days ago
CHARLES E. Knox, the consulting engin-
eer for several of the large companies
of Tonopah, visited Bodie, and his trip
is said to have been toward this OBJ
ject.
In the development of the various
mines, millions of feet of lumber will
be used for timbering and at present
this is coming from the country west
of Reno, necessitating a haul of over
300 miles. The companies figure that
they can better afford TO buy timber,
mill it themselves and then transport
it over their own railway than to pay
the prices of the lumber companies
and freight charges over two rail
roads.
