The railway which will connect with the Nevada Northern main, line near Kimberly, will run west on the south side of the Morris pit, swing northwest near the Alpha shaft and end west of. the Veteran pit .rim, where an ore tipple for the loading of ore from the contractors trucks to railroad ore cars will be accomplished. Preliminary . work on the railroad grade is in ' progress. This work, too, is being ydone by the Isbell Construction Co. Mr. Kinnar indicated that the two and a quarter miles of railroad will include tail tracks for empty ore cars. On being asked how soon ore would be encountered in shipping quantities, Mr. Kin-nindicated that Kennecott would have to. remove approximately tons of overburden or waste before sizeable quantities of ore would be encountered.
