STEADY DEVELOPMENT ON
ROCKET MINES PROPERTY

This week a large consignment of
lumber and provisions was sent out
from Goldfeld to the Rocket Hinlng
company at Cactus Springs, where
steady development is continuing
through the winter. j. McEachen is in
charge of the Rocket property, which
is backed by Chicago, Louisville and
Duluth capitalists.
The main shaft is down so feet, and
short crosscuts have been run into the
territory on either side, where promis-
ing values have been recovered. The
formation is somewhat shattered, how
ever, and the shaft will be semi on
down to the 2O0-foot level, where i. is
believed the values will be stronger
and the ledge more consistent. Ample
living quarters and store rooms have
been built at the mine, and a within in.

ASKED FOR
ELY=GOLDFIELD ROAD
Builders of New Cross-Nevada Railroad Formally Start Proceed
ings From the Ely End of the Road-s-The Route Proposed

Southern Pacific and Salt Lake City,
then wei the Salt Lake routes line
to Las Vegas, thence to Goldfeld by
the independent lines, is $50 miles,
The saving in this run will be 709
miles.
The run from Salt Lake City to
Goldfeld, by way of the Ely route,
passing through Ely, will be sos miles,
as compared with 631 miles under ex
isting conditions.
The great saving in time for those
who have business requiring them to
make these various trips will be a fac
tor that will win the Ely route no
small volume of traffic.
The saving of time in the delivery
of freight between the principal points
on the run will also be a distinctly
favorable factor for the business get
ting end of the roads organization.
ELY Junction"
Goldfeld itself will not be on the
main line, but will be on a branch
line, fourteen miles in length, which
will give adequate service to every
class of traffic with either origin or
destination in the famous gold camp.
The point of departure from the main
line will be officially designated as
Ely Junction. Goldfeld will be put tn
no disadvantage by reason Of the
main line not touching the city, as the
Stub trains that will operate be
tween Ely junction and Goldfeld will
give perfect service.
The maximum grade attained at any
part on the road is in Robinson can
yon, the gateway to Ely, where a one
and one-half per sent grade will coz
tinue for a few miles. This is a lower
grade than that of the Nevada North
ern railroad to Copper Flat. The two
roads will enter the canyon with only
a few. feet between their tracks, and
at the same level. Within a short
distance the advantage of the Ely
Route will be perceived when its track
will run through the canyon at a low
er level thar that of the Nevada
Northern.
The Ely route will have the task of
driving at least one long tunnel in
Robinson canyon, which will give en-
ployment to a large force of men.

According to the Ely Expositor, 1.-THE
Ely Route will be the trade and traf.
fc designation of the new Ely-Goldfeld
railroad to distinguish it and all of its
connections in the billing of freight
and passenger traffic.
This announcement was made by
w. r. Alberger, general traffic man
ager of the TOnopah-T idewater rail
road, who is here for the purpose of
making the final arrangements for the
construction of the new road between
Ely and Goldfeld, says the Exposition.
All railroads have their trade marks,
which are distinctive and which are
~indelibly connected in the minds Of
all who see them with the road they
represent and the territory traversed.
1t is the design of the men behind
the road to send to every freight and
passenger agent in the United States
descriptive matter relative to the new
railroad, and to offer them the prize
for the design.
The object of this is to cause the
men who get the business and who
have virtually all to do with its rout-
ing, to think about the road and to
study it and it's advantages to the
public.
The Importance of the Ely Route to
the passenger and freight traffic with
either origin or destination between
Ely and Los Angeles may be graphic
ally shown by a comparison Of exist
ing conditions and those that will be
effective as soon as the road is put
into commission.
The Shortest Route.
For example, the distance from Ely
to Los Angeles, by way of Salt Lake
City, over which route the greater
part of the traffic now travels, is 1906
miles. By the Ely route the distance
to the southern California metropolis
will be 657 miles, effecting a saving of
439 miles.
From Ely to Goldfeld, by way of the
Western Pacific, whose passenger SER
vice is not yet fully installed, is 631
miles. From Ely to Goldfeld by tha
Ely route will be $50 miles, a saving
of 381 miles.
