lieved by some who are in close touch
with the situation. That 1t would be
impossible TO select a route for a
railroad that with like outlay would
better serve the new smelling COM
panys plants, now being built and
in contemplation. near Garfield and
at Ely, is apparent.
The route selected by Mr.. Scofield
as far as Deep Creek would follow
the most of the way the line sur
veyed 20 years ago by the Rio
Grande Co. upon which about 40
miles of grading was done. The
course from Garfield would be by
way of Grantsville, around the point
of the range into Skull valley, pur-
suing a southwesterly course across
Skull valley, crossing the southern
end of the Cedar range through an
easy pass. thence across the desert
into the Deep Creek country, touch
ing the camps of Dugway. Granite
Mountain. Fish Springs and Eric
son. From Deep Creek. 1t is beliey-
ed, the line will be extended TO
Eureka. New, by way of Cherry
Greek. with a branch line down the
valley To East Ely.
The proposed line would be one
cheaply constructed. and that =.
would open a number of districts
rich In minerals. which are now dor
mant on account of lack of trans
portation facilities, can not be ques-
toned. While Garfield. which is al
ready a common point, for a time,
at least. would be the eastern ter
minus of the new railroad, 1t is not
unlikely that eventually an entrance
to Salt Lake would be sought. But,
as 1t would be primarily an ore-haul-
ing line, intended to serve the new
smelling company. the need for get
ting into the city would not be press
ing.
Word has been given that work is
likely to be started on the new road
