GOULD TO BUILD
TO NEVADA CAMPS
Proposal to Extend Line From
Marysvale, Utah, to
Reno, Nevada.
REPORT is THAT SPR0JJLE
WILL JOIN GOULD FORCES
May Be Made General Freight
and Passenger Director
of Western Lines.

\ proposed invasion of the gold
camps Of Nevada by the Gould railroad
interests in connection with the West
ern Pacific. now built forty-fve miles
west of Salt Lake and being pushed to
the Pacific with all possible haste, is
the latest reported development in
western railroad affairs. An extension
from Marysvale across the State of Ne.
vada would permit the Gould people to
tap many. Of the important mining CEN
teTs In the Sage Brush State, and a
connection would be made with the
Western Pacific near Reno, New, thus
giving an outlet and allowing Gould
e. share of the immense tonnage of
those districts, and also putting him in
line for future developments.
The Route as Outlined.
The cutoff on the Rio Grande from
Green River to Salina is already as
sured, The new road as outlined, al
though not officially, will start either
from Sslina OF Marysvale. Crossing the
San Pedro near Milford or Frisco, the
line will strike west to Phoebe, thence
through the mountain ranges, opening
up new mineralized territory as II
passes, to Gold6eld and Tonopah and
then following the Southern Pacific to
Virginia d Truckee, owned by the
Goulds, and then on to the main line Of
the Western Pacific. 1t would be almost
8, north and south line, cutting through
the center of an immense mineral zone
and virtually through the center of the
State. Nevada is at present fertile
field for railroad enterprise. It will be
second in the railroad mileage CON
structed this year and the entrance Of
the Gould people into the field is but
in keeping with the general scheme Of
exploitation.
Sproule TO Join Gould Forces.
A dispatch received from San Fran.
CISCO Saturday night also contains in

affairs. The telegram is as follows
William Sproule is slated to become
general freight and passenger director
of the Gould lines west of Chicago. This
is the report received at the local rail

selected by the Goulds to organize the
freight and passenger departments of

until that date. His work for the Gug
