| Show THAT DEEP CREEK CR EEK ROAD special correspondence clifton utah oct lo 10 with the coming of autumn breezes there is again wafted wafred to us the ahe story old yet ever new that a railroad is about to be built to the deep creek country we have not yet abandoned hope and therefore give credence to any and all rumors that promise transportation for our mineral products the last being that the R G W is to vigorously push a road west from ironton which we would like much to see it seems seems strange that some of the many desiring and seeking outlets to the coast to share shaie in the rapidly increasing oriental trade should not avail themselves of the advantages of this the best and most direct route one that will traverse an empire in extent of which is believed by competent judges to be the finest mineral country on earth experts have examined the country in the interests of railroad corporations and most of them have reported that there was not sufficient ore developed to warrant buil building dinn a road which is probably true frue if the road is to depend for its traffic on that alone and no 0 ther other or further development should be made there are nearly or quite a dozen mining districts in this country closely connected which would pay tribute to a road these districts are of large areas con containing i tain incy e many mining claims more or less developed and in them are many thousands of tons of ore lying on the dumps ready for shipment when transportation por tation is furnished but whether the prospects from which this ore was obtained will go down and become regular producers is is one of the questions that even an expert cannot determine but let us suppose that in each of these districts there shall be developed two good producing mines which does not seem at all unwarranted judging from present appearances these alone would furnish a sufficient amount of traffic for a road and while there may not not be sufficient ore extracted to justify building let assur ance be given that a road is to be built and cheap transportation furnished and the country will be alive with miners and prospectors pec tors and more development work will be done during the coming year than in the past decade with results that will astonish the natives can some gome one give us the assurance |
