On tie hill to the east are the famous
mines OF the Bristol Consolidated Co.
and also the equally famous Hillside
OF the Nevada Utah. These mines

without railroad, but with your

they should be reopened and rank

state A cross cut line of about forty
niles from Bristol Wells would strike
che new Ely-Goldfield line, giving a
new east and west artery through the
center of the state, and making the
Pioche district accessible from Gold

for all time be the most important
mining towns of the state. and cen.

DELAMAR JUNCTION.
The next station which we can
speak of with certainty would be

within five or six miles of that town.

full of gold bearing veins. No ef-

region has seemed too isolated and
inaccessible. Delamar Junction should
certainly be good for 1000.

valley on natural grade until it
took the hillside opposite the mouth
Ios the Pahranagat Valley and pass
ed over to the head of the Muddy.
