VIEW PRINTED IN THE MEMS.

The News recently printed an in
terview i'm which il was stated that
there were negotiations under way
for the extension of the salt Lake
road from Phoebe to connection with
this camp and then with the Twin
Falls road which the Oregon Short
Line is building south to connection
with the -. r., Nevada Northern and
Western Pacific.
The interview referred fo Is made
To appear exceedingly well grounded,
and some new light thrown upon in
tImatiOns which were made i'm Ii, by
an article given prominence in the
Salt Lake Telegram yesterday, This
article says that the InterDational
Smelling and Cole-Ryan interests, af
filiated with the Hartmann Rockefei-
Ter interests are back of the extern
sion from Phoebe to Ely. 1t being
part of the plan of the International
to link the Phoebe and Deep Greek
country closely to Ely for the benefit
of a custom smelter it will bul.d
here. The Telegram says:
That there is more than one cor
poration figuring on making entry
into southern mining camps. nota-
bly, Phoebe, Deep Greek and Ely. has
been proven by recent developments.
In addition to the ore line that Is
being considered by a French syEdi-
cate and the building of spur into
Deep Creek by the Western Pacific.
it is learned that overtures have
been made to the Salt Lake route.
That the International Smelling Co.
will be interested in having these
three camps connected by rail is con
ceded from the fact that II will then
be assured a large tonnage for the
smeter it will build near the Gironx
Consolidated.
For more than a year operators
in Deep Creek have been assured
transportation facilities. First the
Western Pacific asked for reports on
the tonnage of ore blocked out and
when it received this ii was reported
to have given assurance of a line To
be completed before the summer
months would draw to a close. Since
this announcement was made it is
said Southern Pacific interests have
been looking over the field. and so
pleased were they with the prospects
of a big freight business from the
three camps that they have deter
mined to join the Clark interests in
the Salt Lake route and get line
into these mineral belts with the
least possible delay.
With the Standard Oil interests
back of the International Smelling
concern and the Hartman and Clark
crowds i'm absolute control of the
Sale Lake and Southern Pacific rail
roads, it is a foregone conclusion
that move of considerable import
ance will be taekn up at an early
date. Surveys have been completed
for several routes that are under
and engineers repre-
senting railroad and smelling com
panies have been in each of these
camps. The only reason for delay
has been due to the fact that the
International Smelling Co. has not
its organization, and some
of the big interests with the Cole
Ryan syndicate claim that there have
been so many mines and smelling
propositions opened up to them
since they announced that they would
embark in the mining industry that
they have been unable to determine
the full scope of the country they
would enter
