Show A DEEP CREEK R g1JJ Possibilities in the Event of a Copper Plant Failure A BUSINESS MANS VIEWS A Fund Sufficient to Build the Road Could Be Raised Member of the Council Thinks the Citys Subscription Would Be Doubled Mr Adams Appointment as Transportation Trans-portation ChairmanNotes The Deep Creek railroad is crowding the copper plant There was as much Deep Creek talk in business haunts yesterday as there has been of copper plant speculation specula-tion during the past month The con census of opinion is that if Mr Green and the trustees cannot get together and the project is a failure the upshot will be the construction of a road to the Nevada line and Salt Lake will be none the loser The way people talk now said a leading member of the Business Mens association I believe 250000 can be raised lor a Deep Creek road if this copper cop-per plant fails and I dont know but they ought to go ahead with it anyway There would be no expensive grading between here and Stockton The cost of grading and laying the track would not exceed 10000 a mile I believe there are several large contracting firms that would construct the road and take half of the amount in stock I know they have done so with other roads Therefore on this basis 250000 would build fifty miles of road When that was completed it could be bonded for a sufficient amount to construct another an-other fifty miles and so on until the road was completed Perhaps the city council would give us the old fort square for a depot the HERALD man suggested for the benefit of a member of the council who was present DOUBLE THEIR SUBSCRIPTION 1 I believe the city council would lease the square responded the councilman fern term of twentyfive years at a rental of one dollar a year for the first five years More than that I think tho council would double its copper subscrip tion for a Deep Creek road provided we were given time to pay it say ten percent per-cent every sixty days There is another suggestion I believe the Salt Lake Los Angeles track could be leased without difficulty That would save the construction construc-tion of thirteen miles of track Of course all of these Deep creek possibilities possi-bilities are contingent upon the failure of the copper plant project but if that goes down the Deep Creek mines may be shipping ship-ping their ores into Salt Lake city before the snows of another winter whiten the ground |
