j. W.kBonham brings some news
from the south from Superintendent
Ryan OF the Borax Smith railroad
connecting with the Santa Fe at
Ludlow. Supt. Ryan stated that the
road would be completed to the old
borax works in Amargosa valley by
May lst, '06, says the Bullfrog Miner.
This will bring it about 100 miles
east OF south of Bullfrog, and it will
be completed to Bullfrog just as fast
as it a be done with men and ma.
terials. The company has had
trouble in getting steel. But the
Santa Fe has now turned over II
miles of steel and has assured the
company there would be plenty more
ready when that was used up. The
Clark road from Las Vegas is within
ID miles of Indian creek, or 80 miles
out from Las Vegas.
