Show o RAILROAD GOSSIP. Mr. J. H. Bennett of the Rio Grande Vestern took yesterday mornings train for Eprinsvillc and Fayson and. may extend his trip to San Pete valley before returning. ! The Metropolitan Stone company has Ifnrnifbed the Hirvey of Us new switch at I'ark City and have put a force of men at vwV on the erade. Union Facifle officials say the report of a rontemplated extension of that road from Tintic to Deep Creek, is very decidely 'prcmtur?," that the. whole story is a yery hestnutty fake. The only foundation for the statement is that chief engineer of the "Union Pacific, E. C. Smeed, w as in the city last week with a corps of surveyors, which V he took to Tintic. Those men are now en- ( g-s eed on the branch from Silver City to the Z.'oithern Spy mine. Some labor tmploy- ment office must have gotten hold ejf the JftroM reporter and persuaded him that those surveyors were locating a line to Deep Creek. The truth of the matter is. that the U. P. is not in shape at this time to build extensions ex-tensions anywhere and do not seriously con-ternpla'e con-ternpla'e anv except a few short switches Jike"that at Tintic. |
