= BLAIR Is BOOMING.
New Town that Promises TO Rival Some
of Older Ones.


TONOPAH, Sept 24.-A town that
promises to, in very short time. rival
some of the older camps is springing
up at the old Blair mine. which was
purchased by Messrs. Oliver and Flynn
of Pittsburg short time ago.
On the first day of June of this year
the preliminary surveys for the rail-
road connecting the town of Blair
and the Tonopah and Goldfieid rail-
road were started and by the first of
the coming month the eighteen miles
of track will have been completed and
the equipment Will be ready for busi-
ness.
The desert heat along the fat por-
tion Of the road, with many other OBJ
stacles. has been surmounted by those
in charge of the road and all other
records for railroad construction in
this country have been surpassed.
The contracts for grading for the
100-stamp mill have been let and work.
commences tomorrow. 1t is expected
that the mill will be completed and the
stamps dropping on the ore within the
next six months.
One of the officials of the company
said today that il is their intention to
have a 50o-stamp mill within the next
FIVE years, and, Judging from the
amount of ore that there is in sight,
the officials are justified in their belief.
Pipe lines are being put in place and
aerial tramways are being constructed
so that the ore may be carried direct
from the mine to the mill, thus obviat-
ing the expense of hauling and hand
ling.
