location of the mining metropolis OF
Southern Nevada. The decision of the
Santa Fe Railroad company to establish
their handsome depot on the Boulder
mining claim fixes the permanent Ioca-
ton of famous Searchlight on the
Boulder claim, close to the depot OF both
the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake Kali
road companies, and now that both rail-
road companies are about TO enter
Searchlight at the new townsite, over a
mile from the old camp, there is great
hustling among business people and in
vestors to secure the best locations for
the new business blocks and for the
! erection of homes.
The acreage of the Boulder mining
| claim is best known to the railroad and
reading public as the property or the
Searchlight Terminal Townsite COM
pany, whose managers many months
ago were on the inside as TO permanent
results in Searchlight, and the-Terminal
Townsite people are now in a position
to make good every assurance given
those who were fortunate in making
selections in the new addition which is
in every respect admirably located for
the building up of large and beautiful
business and home city in one of the
richest mining sections of the world.
Watch New searchIight
AS a matter of fact the conditions
clustered about the old town of Search
light did not commend themselves to
the best judgment of the railroad in
terests, and the surveys for the lines
were made with special regard for
economy in construction and for the
convenience not only of the owners OF
the mines but also for the ranchmen
who are planning to cultivate the pro-
ductive acreage of the Boulder and ad-
Jacent lands
we can build side tracks and
switches to reach the remote sections"
said an official. Switches will do to-
handle the ore of the mines to reach
the new town that will be built around
the Santa Fe and Salt Lake depots, and
those who do not like the arrangements
will simply have to move their business
houses and dwelling to the new town
site. There is no other way out of II.
The depots cannot be built except on
the line OF the railroads, and the depots
are going to create a wonder town OF
Searchlight."
The Santa Fe depot will he almost in
the center of the Terminal Townsite
acreage, a location over a mile from
the present town of Searchlight and
distance considerably greater from the
wildcat additions that have been
plated in the hills" The beautiful
high and fertile land adjacent to the
Santa Fe depot is the logical location
for the new city Of Searchlight. And
now that the railroads have forever
settled the question of permanent To-
cation Of the new city, all contentious
are wiped out and general satisfaction
is expressed. Already the business
men are preparing TO- move their es-
| Establishments to the new tOWnsite. In
a few cases the change will work a
| hardship and involve no small expense,
but the enterprising business men i'm
every line of trade are going with the
/ crowd and will soon be in business
close to the railroad depots. The peo-
pie win follow and in the near future
old Searchlight, a mile away, will be
but a memory of pioneer days; but the
rich mines viii not be deserted. The
owners viii continue to remove Yalu-
able minerals from the shafts, and will
reside I'm new SearchIight, which with
the advent Of the railroad will at once
become the base of supplies not only
for the mines, but for a wide extent Of
agricultural country tributary 10
