e ?. Starts Preliminary Work
Engineer and Surveyors Now Locating Eight Miles of New
Road Through the Nanows Leading Out of Palisade,
and Agent of Construction Company Said to Be
Preparing Bids for Completing the Work

The news brought to Eureka from Palisade Friday afternoon
by .. A. Gilbert that an engineer and two surveyors on Wednesday
morning had commenced the work of locating a new roadbed out of
Paisade for the Eureka & Paisade Railway, was most welcome to
Eurekans, and Mr.. Gilbert was given the glad hand and kept busy
Tor some time repeating the good tdings.
MI. Gilbert informs the SENTINEL that the work now being done
out of Palisade for the E. e. P. is to determine the cost of building
the road through the narrows on the east side of the canyon and
for a distance of about eight miles, it being figured that this dis
lance will about cover the badly washed out portion of the old road,
and by running a grade along the hills on the east side of the
canyon i tbs hoped to escape any future flood waters.
When the Z. & Ps roadbed was washed out and the company
put out OF business about Is months ago, the water not only washed
out the road through the narrow canyon, but it cut deep gorges in
many places and left the narrow passage way in such a condition
that to rebuild a railroad through the canyon now presents some
and much difficult work, and it is generally stated that
the cost Of rebuilding this eight miles will amount to considerable
more than will be necessary to repair the other rs miles into Eu-
reka. Had it not been for this eight miles of difficult and costly
work, there is little doubt but that the E. & P. would have been
operating its trains over the road in 80 days after the wash out.
Besides the engineer and surveyors now at work near Palisade,
one of the head men of a construction company is also there check
ing up the work. and he is no doubt preparing a bid for doing the
the construction work.
While the present work is only Of a preliminary nature, it
looks pretty good to the people at this end of the line, and bears
out the ~prophesy of the SENrINEL's informant of three weeks ago
that it had then been decided to rebuild the road, and it was
thought that some movement looking to this end would be made
September l..
Let the good work go on.

BIG DEMAND FOR CATTLE

now for all classes of cattle.

Of Carlin. Nevada, has been doing bust.
ness this week with the stock men
whose cattle range in Antelope Valley,
about 30 miles southwest of Eureka,
and from the number of cattle already
held at NJ. Regli's n several other
places, the report that Griffin will about
clean up the Antelope range this Fall
appears to have considerable founda-
ton. IL Is said that almost anything
that wears hair is being accepted this
year. and thet little or no stock is be.
ing cut out.
The SENTINEL learns that among the
ranchers who have been gathering cat.
tie for Griffin during the week are:
Bart Cerutti. ]. g. Kitchen. William
Blair, Tom Eccles aud NJ. Rsgli.
The prices paid are said to b. from
$2S to $50 for stock cattle. aud $32 to
$35 for steers.
