w. P. LOOKING
TO THE SOUTH
Ely-COldfield Said To Be Means
OF Reaching Mining
Territory

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 2G.-The Ely Il
Goldfield Railroad, a survey for which
has been completed, and rights of
way for which are being secured is
now expected to become the route
and means by which the Western
Pacific Railway will reach Los An
and California enrOute. From Shaft
er, on the main line of the Western
Pacific, near the Utah-Nevada State
line. the Western will run its trains
southerly over the Nevada Northern
as far as Ely. thence over the Ely &
GOldfield, where connection will be
made with the TOnOpah & Tide water
Railroad to Ludlow. then VITA the
Santa Fe to Los Angeles.
w. r. Alberger, traffic manager of
the railroads controlled by F. M.
Smith, the borax king, has gone to
Ely, and the explanation offered of
his departure is that given above.
The Ely & GOldfield has been delayed
by difficulty in obtaining rights of
way in White Pine County, near Ely
and Alberger has gone to close up
tle deals, for Smith has authorized
the construction Of the road. The
new line will have grades not exceed
ing IL per cent and will give a short
and advantageous route through a
new country into the southern field.

Johnnie" Miller, principal owner
