“ We have just shipped from
Oroville,” said Mr. Wattis, “ a
trainload of construction material
and supplies for this work, and
they aie ex a cte d to arrive here in
a very few days. The oirtfit was
used by our company on a Wes­
tern Pacific contract, just com­
pleted between Oroville and Reno,
Nevada. It is as complete an as­
semblage of modern railroad con­
struction materials as can be found
on the coast. We expect to have
a large force of men at work be­
yond Natron in a very short time,
anil will use 2<MM) meg if we can
get that number.”
