INTERESTING COMMENT FROM
GOLDFIELD-SAN FE IN
DOUBTEDIY MEANS EXTEN-
SION FROM HERE TO LAKE.

From the Goldfield Daily Tribune is
taken the highly interesting comment
printed below with reference to the
latest Developments in connection
with the interest of the Santa Fe In
the new Ely Goldfield line and its ex-
tension from this point direct TO Dem
yer. The Tribune says:
Who would ever suspect that the
time would come when GOidfield
would pose as one of the local points
of short line between Denver and
the coast? Nevertheless, this may
come To pass il the reports from Wall
street are correct. The avenue OF ap-
proach IL To be the proposed Ely
Goldfield railroad, backed by the
Santa Fe, which is said to have per-
fected coaliation with the Moffat
road out of Denver for access TO Salt
Lake and then on the coast, by Ely
and Goldfield. To a person accustom-
ed to the beaten lines of travel this
NAV seem somewhat circutitious,
but a glance at the map will show the
route is almost a direct line so far
as the Typographical conditions Will
permit. The Moffat road is certainly
the short line between Denver and
the capital of Utah, the saving in that
one stretch of territory being es-
timated at something like 800 miles.
or almost days travel. Then west
of Salt Lake the Santa Fe is to con-
struct an independent line via Deep
Greek instead of using the rails OF
the Western Pacific and the Nevada
Northern. and by so doing gain an
air line to the center of White Pine
county. The mooted line between
Goldfield and Ely has always been
a subject of skepticism, since none
of the critics could harmonize the al
legged deal between the Gould and
Santa Fe systems, which are not on
the best of terms. In the principal
parts of the west the roads are In
dlrec, competition, and therefore 1t
appeared at first blush that there
could be no alignment of interests in
Nevada.
The deal with the Moffat road dis
sipates the cloud OF doubt that en-
yeloped the transaction involving the
construction of new line. Monat Is
a very rich man. In fact, the richest
man i'm Colorado. but even he hesi-
tates about completing the road that
is his life's ambition at an expense OF
several more millions. Mr.. Moffat has
had TO fight the combined railroad IN
terests of the United States In finane-
ing his railroad over the Rockies, and
II is a matter of common report that
through this opposition he and few
nersonal friends had to raise the en-
tire amount of $5,000,000 involved in
the construction. Now the inside au-
thorities say that the Santa Fe VIII
finance the rest of the road from
Steamboat Springs down to Salt Lake
and will build west from that point 70
meet the eastern end of the Tonopah
g. Tidewater. There is another good
reason for ID. II. Moffat not entering
into any entangling alliances with the
Goulds. Mr.. Moffat was president Oh

MEETING.
Important Feature of the National
Wool Growers Convention
to be Held at Ogden.

An important feature of the Ma
tional Wool Growers convention, to
be held at Ogden, January 81. g.,
will be the gathering of the various
state boards of sheep commissioners
throughout the west. The prevention
and methods of handling common
diseases of sheep will be taken up
and discussed at length. State
veterinarians will be present and
take active part in the discussion.
A. d. Melvin, head of the United
States bureau of animal industry,
has been invited to attend the con-
vention. and it is believed that he
will be present.
Transportation, ever a bugbear to
wool growers. will be one cd the
chef topics of discussion at the on
vention. Numerous complaints of
delays in shipments of sheep have
been unofficially made during the
past few months, and this evil will
be remedied as far as possible by the
Wool Growers association.
1t is reported that recently it took
four days to have a carload of sheep
shipped from Wanship to Salt Lake,
when the distance should have been
covered in less than a day. Another
trainload of sheep enroute to Kan
sas City went to Omaha, thence to
Chicago, and then back to Kansas
City, causing a delay of two weeks
and a loss to the shippers of $4,000.
