Il have Information which gives
me ground for the belief that the
Clark road will during the present
year start the construction of the
talked of line from Phoebe to Ely.
This belief is very strong at Phoebe
and also in certain we'll informed
Salt Lake railroad circles. as
learned in the course of few days
visit just prior to coming to Cherry
Greek and this camp the first part of
the week. =
The above statement was made last
evening by J. NJ Brady. mining
man with interests in Phoebe camp
and in the Osceola district in this
county. Mr.. Brady was among ar
rivals in East Ely last evening, being
on his way at the present time TO
Osceola. from where he will return
to Phoebe. Continuing. he said:
II have ground for saying that the
Salt Lake road extension will be a
mutual arrangement with the South
ern Pacific. The latter, as Is gener-
ally known, and the Salt Lake route
of Senator Clark are very closely af-
filiated. Ny understanding is that
the extension to this camp from Pi
oche will be made for the purpose OF
getting connection with the new
road from Twin Falls, Idaho. and
that the link between this city and
the connection at the main line of
the Southern Pacific will be supplied
through trackage arrangement with
the Nevada Northern.
1t seems easy TO see that such q
connection with the Twin Falls line
of the Hartman system south from
the Oregon Short Line would be of
very great value to the HARTMAN
system in closing up an important
gap and putting the road in position
to hold its own with new lines which
may be built through this territory.
1t is also important TO consider that
with this line the Southern Pacific
would be able to get lumber, grain

possible by several hundred miles
Also. some such step is necessary
with the Southern Pacific in order
to prevent the loss Of this business
through hanlage over the new Ely
Tonopah railroad and the Santa Fe
from the Port of Los Angeles, the
Santa Fe ocean front terminal near
San Pedro, to the Ely camp and a
very large amount Of other territory
to the east and north. With the con
neetion with the Salt Lake made
through from Twin Falls to Phoebe,
the S. p. can hold its own. but not
otherwise.
There are some other important
reasons for the early construction of
the line from Phoebe to Ely which
/ am not at liberty TO discuss. | feel
however, that if you had
these reasons you would feel entire
assurance in telling your readers that
beyond doubt the extension will be
built. and that very soon. The road
will unquestionably be a very valua-
BILE one for this end of Nevada. Ny
own knowledge of the country that

mind but that in year or two after
