enterprises.
Connection with the Phoebe district would open large
stretch of mineral country this camp relation to which 1t
would stand with the direct railroad communication IN the
same position trade and supply center as Salt Lake CITY
does.
Aside from advantages which would be gained,
heavy shipments could be looked for from many camps
along the line to Phoebe These might readily III time reach as
large volume, not larger, than shipments which line
Tonopah and Goed would nnquestonaby have to handle
Phoebe of character which make them desirable
for smelling purposes in this district heavy tonnage has
been developed past but transportation charges until
the advent of the Salt Lake railroad with branch into the
camp last fall of necessity high to prohibit ship
ping to meer at Salt Lake of other than the richest of
the Since the railroad has been in there has been

Recently diamond drill exploitation in Phoebe district has
given occasion for belief that its values down and that at

tire aspect of the district and make of large production
and high attracveness Whether results obtained at
depth however, Phoebe camp developed far beyond
the prospect stage and of excellent properties
With connection with reduction works such extension of
the Clark road branch from its terminus to the smeer
at McGl would the would make great strides and
resultant large benefits would be felt here in line of
trade and industry. Construction of the line would be
paravely and inexpensive Aside from the pro-

supply center, the line would also enable quick
outlet for the camp to the south, east and west.
The of the possibility of this railroad construction
has made for good deal of eation inside circles in The
city where is fully realized that results attendant would
be of value in fastening the day which will ultimately
the district the greatest mining smelling and railroad
in the Phoebe will also doubtless find in the news
much to give occasion for good feeling.
Coming the does the heels of the
vcton which has been pretty generally reached that the
smelling industry in the Salt Lake Valley is practically done
for by of the persistent opposition of the farming
terests which have far made their contentious stick the
courts possible that the carries still geeater sgn
than has yet been intmated would be comparative
easy matter divert great deal of Salt business this
way, the extension from Phoebe in operation. Some
characters of which being treated at the smetr there
will unquestionaby be ouawed under the regulations which
determined the will fix.
