In the Chamber of Commerce Building and Public Improvements Incorporations Incor-porations Business Briefs. The outlook for a railroad through the Deep Creek country is growing better every day, although, there is but little blowing about it, just now. A whole lot f hard work done on the quiet, and one of these clays the mossbacks will wake up and find themselves not in it. Col. T. P. Murray returned re-turned from the east last night, bringing with him a bag of money and a number of rapltalists whom he has interested in the Deep Creek railroad scheme. Col. Murray says there is no lack of capital on hand, and the only question is whether or not the parties behind him in the matter will invest in the scheme after investigation; and the Colonel Col-onel appears to think there is no doubt as to that. Other parties are and have been for some time past quietiy working on the same problem, and it is almost certain that the road will be put through. a ABOUT NATURAL, OAS. A.

Yesterday the New American Natural Gas and Fuel company struck a flow of gas in Well No. 4, with a pressure of over 200 pounds to the inch.

Mr. Woodman said the old franchise was good enough, though the new one was, perhaps, better. The company, com-pany, he said, was working slowly, but turely, and with a view to letting local capitalists capi-talists in first. As far as capital is concerned, con-cerned, he said, he could, by letting certain ipuhteru purties get the control of the stock, have the work of piping the gas into the city started at once and finished without delay, de-lay, whether it co6t $100,000 or $500,000. Tiic directors of the company will hold a ducting this afternoon, when a proposition for the piping iU probably be submitted. The poor old six-day swayback on West Temple street seems to have it in for the gas company, as evidenced by the article in yesterday's yes-terday's issue, and the only reason that can be assigned for their enmity is that they ! must hold stock in one of the companies whose gus is, as yet, mostly water.

Thci sidewalk paving on West Temple is now down to Third South 6reet, and work Is being pushed forward rapidly. The oiiy pprcyptibie effect of the LTnion Pacific's fiiiht on the Great Salt Lake it Hot Springs railroad company is to stir the latter up to more vigorous action. Bambercer's corps of engineers will report in a short lime the most feasible route through the hills near Dugwny, when work on the road i'.l be pushed for all there is in it. The old shack so long occupied by the Howard Scbree Wasron company and later by the Co-op Wagon and Machine company on Slate street, has been demolished. The property is owned by the Brigharn Young Trust company and it is understood that a handsome block will go up there in the near future. The site is otic of the finest as well is the most valuable in the city for a business busi-ness location. |
