Show Mll.l'Olll) TO STATEI.INH. Salt, Eake Tribune. Iris almost a certainty thai tin- proposed pro-posed extension South from Mil ford to the Slate line 'mining district "il! Inbuilt In-built this year. As stated from time to time in the Tribune, negotiations have been in progress for the construction construc-tion of this branch between the Oregon Short Line and David Eccles. B. O. Lund and C. W. Nibley. Recently A. W. XcCuno of t-his city, also took hold of the project and is now interested financially in it. -Mr. MeCriee went to Bo-ton a fortnight, ago.' vfcoro with Mr. Xibley he is understood to have met the ofJhws of the Oregon Short Line and definitely settled tlie matter of the road. The contract-' are said lo have been signed. The proposition which has been heretofore here-tofore explained is that the gentlemen named will build the i oad over the old Pioehe grade, already completed nnd only needing a few repairs. The Oregon Ore-gon Short Line furnishes "(2-pound steel rails and till the. necessary eouip-nient, eouip-nient, for which it, takes bonds of the new line in payment. , The line is proposed to be built, now eighty miles southwest of Mi: ford, but it is in direct line for Los Angeles, and its construction means the starting of that great enterprise, as work will commence speedily. It is by far the most important railroad move o the present year. The only thing that will take time is the securing of ties, but Eccles and Nibley have large saw mills on their Sumpter Valley road in Oregon, and these will he taxed to their full capacity capa-city to supply the necessary timber. |
