A Way to the Albion by the Spring Valley Railroad,

A few days since several of our citizens, among whose names we recognize those of G. W. Baker, E.N. Robinson, Wm. Pardy, P. N. Hansen, W. M. Patterson, Charles Graham, John Torre and others, organized a railroad company to build and operate a railroad from the Ruby Hill Railroad, where it crosses the compromise line between the Eureka and Richmond Mining Companies' southwesterly some ten miles. to and beyond the summit of the Spring Valley Mountain. It is to be a narrow gauge. the same as the Eureka & Palisade Railroad, and when completed will enable that company's cars to pass to the Albion furnaces and mine and so on to a point beyond the summit, thus opening up all that section of country to railroad facilities. The construction of this railroad will certainly stimulate mining on the west slope of Prospect Mountain, as well as along the route of the road on both sides. as it will enable the miners to get their ores to the furnaces without great cost for transportation, and will also materially extend the area whence our furnaces draw their supplies of coal and wood.

The officers of the company are L. L. Robinson, President; George W Baker, Vice-President: E. N. Robinson. Treasurer and Superintendent; O. C. Moore, Secretary and the office of the company is at the office of Col. E. N. Robinson. The Board of Trustees consists of George W. Baker. E. N. Robinson, John N. Williams, Wm. Pardy and L. L. Robinson. The capital stock of the company is $100,000, consisting of 1,000 shares of $100 each, which has all been subscribed. A survey has been made for the road its entire length, which has established its feasibility, and an actual location has been made around Ruby Hill to a point on the Albion ground which covers the most difficult portion of the whole line. In connection with this work we ascertained at the County Clerk's office yesterday that the S. V. R. R. Co. had commenced proceedings to condemn the right of way across the ground of the Richmond Mining Company of Nevada for a distance of some 1,900 feet, as that company refuses to grant the right of way.
