CLARK WILL BUILD
ORE ROAD TO ELY
International Smelling to Co.
operate in Constructing
Line Needed.

That the Salt Lake Route. in CO.
operation with the international
Smelling company, will build a line 20
Ely, by way OF Deep Creek, over the
route that was surveyed, and portion
OF II graded, several years ago, is the
firm conviction OF one OF salt Lakes
most prominent mining men-a man
who is in position TO know and does
those quarters The international
smelling company at this time has en-
gineers in the Deep Creek country
looking up the tOnnages OF ore avail
able and in prospect.
Building OF a new railroad to Deep
Creek and Ely is the only means by
to make a complete success OF their
new smelling plant at Tooele, and to
make IL success is asSuredly what
they set out to do said this mining
treated at the Tooele plant is a fore
gone conclusion, and in the shipping
OF those ores they cannot afford to be
at the mercy Of their big competitor In
the smelling field-the Guggenheims-
as they would be to ship over the Ne
vada Northern.
Need for Line Urgent.
THAT Senator Clark has long had
in mind the building of the very line
OF railroad which the COle-Ryan peO-
pie need is proven by the survey hav-
OF grade having been constructed out
OF Tintic Junction. II there was eX-
cuse for contemplating the building OF
such a line at the time that work was
done, there is urgent demand for it at
this time Millions are being eXpend-
ed in smelter construction at Tooele,
COnsOlidated-availa for treatment
in the plant which is approaching COM
pletion-
The Cole-Ryan people must have a
railroad to bring to that smelter their
own ores as well as other ores re-
quired. They have the money with
which to build the railroad. III II Is
necessary that they should provide IT.
They are not. perhaps. in the railroad
business. but what could be more ma
tural, under the circumstances, than
for them, who need the road, to coop
crate with the man who wants TO
"The proposed lines. approximately
goo miles long. VIII Tor the most part
be one Of easy grades and il will be
relatively Inexpensive TO build II
1t should be able to transport ore from
Ely TO ToOele at n cost OF $L5O. prob
ably as low as S1.25 a ton, and leave a
margin of profit. Senator Clark is &C
customed TO handling large tonnages
Of ore and the business which awaits
the new line should appeal TO him.
Mines Most Of the Way
THE line will begin to pick up ore
within twenty miles OF Tintic Junction,
where it will branch from the main
camps at frequent intervals all the
way to Ely. After leaving Tintic
Junction fl will pass through the north
end of Dugway district; II viii cross
the desert at the narrow point be
tween Granite and Gold Hill; II viii
follow up cane Springs canyon into
Deep Creek: from Deep Creek II VIII
run southwark TO the neighborhood OF
the Cleveland ranch, and from thence
into Ely.
''In point Of large tonnage capable
Of paying a reasonably good transpor-
tation tariff fl will be one OF the best
one-hauling lines OF railroad in the
west. and ia will place the Information
al Smelling company in position to
build up at Tooele one OF the largest
smelling Centers in the West-alnosl
without touching the field Of either OF
it's competitors"
