ST. THOMAS NEXT
TO Be OPENED

1t COW 5e;gns to look as if an
isolated but very I.ei:;y endowed
portion of the west would soon be
favored with railroad facilities.
This is the country in southern
Nevada of which st. Thomas is the
commercial center. Located but
q few hundred feet above sea ,eval
the St. Thomas region has an al
most semi-tropical climate and is
little behind Southern California
points in the raising of early
vegetables and fruit; hut for
years it has been Handicapped be-
cause of difficulties of %transporta-
tion and excessive costs in getting
its products to a favorable market.
This section also abounds in a
large variety of mineral products,
such as gold and copper ores. salt,
gypsum, and stone, many of which
have been practically ~valuelcss be-
cause of the difficulty and expense
of getting them to the railroad.
Because of these irksomr and un-
favorable conditions, the growth
If st. Thomas and vicinity had
been slow, although blessed as to
climate and natural advantages.
The attractions of the Muddy
valley have not appealed in vain to
these who realize the splendid
possibilities of that region, and
more than once there has been
talk of railroad building into this
prolific section. But, so far, this
has all been paper talk" and
nothing came of IT. Now, how
ever, il begins to look as if the
road will be built. As a matter
of fact, it is positively stated that
orders have been given for its
construction from Moapa. on the
line of the Salt Lake route to St.
Thomas. Already grading is in
progress and the line will be COM
pleted to Logan in the neal future.
From Logan to ST. Thomas the dis
lance is about IL miles, and from
Logan to st. Thoms. on the Virgin
river, the grades are easy. and the
NnnctrpntSnn mill 10 ~--l A
way between Logan is Overton,
and this thrifty little place also
will be on the line.
The completion Of the road will
give life and vigor to a large scope
of country. No doubt exists as to
the agricultural possibilities and
the extreme fertility Of the soil
from above Logan clear down 10
st. Thomas; but the greatest
response to the quickening
influences of the new road will be
the activity in mining operations,
which will extend over to the
great Grand Cullen copper mine in
Mohave county, Arizona; to the
gold and copper district in the
Gold Butte section, and as far
down as the confluence of the
Virgin river with the Colorado: a
stretch Of country 30 rich in its
diversity of mineral as
to excite the admiration of all who
are aware of their existence.
But it is stated that the road
will not long MAINTAIN its terminal
at st. Thomas; but that. at an
early day. the line will be ex.
tended up the Virgin river to st.
George in southwestern Utah:
another section teemjng with
agricultural and mineral wealth.
Taking it all in all, 1t would be
difficult to find a scope of country
in the west where single branch
line of railroad would strike such
a responsive chord as that which
will be traversed by the line from
Moapa to st. Thomas and on to ST.
George.-Salt Lake Mining Review

Reyes sent to Gen. Trevino to-day a
request for trial in some place other
