Show Long Tramway. On Saturday last the Burvey was completed for a tramway from Alta to the mouth of Little Cottonwood, to be constructed by Hallidie & Co., of San Francisco, the funds being furnished, we believo, by D. C. Uaskins. The ore-hauling down the canyon has now reached an amount requiriug the services of probably prob-ably two hundred teams, as a trip up or down to Alta any week day will verify. On Saturday last, a gentleman gentle-man informs us, he met eighty-one teams in an hour and a quarter, as he was coming from Alta. The tramway 1 is designed for the transportation of the ore from the foot of the Emma hill, or thereabouts, to the mouth of the canyon, thus obviating the use of teams for bringing ore down and tak- j iog up supplies. It is a work of importance import-ance and promises to be a paying en- tsrprise for its pmjVctors. |
