The Salt Lake Tribune Of the 23d pub
fishes the following: Tomorrow Mr.. G.
G. Goodwin, formerly Of the Virginia En-
terprise, nnec himself with the Tribune
editorial staff. While congratulating our
selves upon the accession Of one whose abil-
tiles as a trenchant and accomplished writ
or are conceded, we also congratulate our
readers, who will enjoy in the future the
results of his busy pen. Mr.. Goodwin has
been on the coast for years, enjoys a popu-
larity second to none in his profession, has
helped to build up the great mining inter-
ests Of the coast, and with his settling down
in Zion as q home, not alone the progress
Of liberalism and the mining industries,
but the welfare OF the entire Territory will
be advanced. His coming to this field Of
labor is, we trust, but the signal Of an ex-
odus of Nevada miners soon to pour into
our mining camps and bring Utah to her
rightfui position as a mineral producing
region"

RAISING THE n


Experiments with Tracks, and the
Result of Them.
The Track Masters Of the Central Pacific
road. says the Reno Gazette have adopted q
new scale for adjusting the rails IN curves.
1t is necessary to have the outside rail the
highest, in order that the flying locomotive
may not wander off into space. When the
road was built, the rule in general use in
the States was adopted, but it made some
trouble in the snow sheds. The cars swung
about, and as the space is limited,
especially when lined with snow, an expe
riment was made. A rise of one-quarter
of an inch was given the outside rail for
every degree which the curve had. This
gave SO little lean to the car and engines,
that when going at any speed, they leaned
out instead of in, and the wear on the
outer rail was found to be very much great
er. This has led to another change, from
one-quarter to three-quarters elevation.
Railroad men say that this is too much.
Three or four inches is quite a rise, and
seven or eight is very great. A sliding
scale is thought best. which gives only a
fair elevation on even the shortest curves,
thus preventing the cramping of the en-
gines and cars, and at the same time max
ing the track secure.

Mortality among Cattle.

County Assessor Spires returned yester-
day, says the Reveille of Monday. from an
official visit to the ranches down the valley.
He states that Duffy, Watt. and others of
the heavy stock raisers of that section, re-
port the rate of mortality among cattle last
winter as having been fearful, some of them
having" lost as much as so per cent. Of their
herds. In riding through the canyons. a
dead animal can be seen at every few yards,
and sometimes two and three in a bunch.
The backwardness of the season has done
much injury to the stock interests. feed
coming too late to be of any use to many
of the animals. A large number have died
recently by getting stuck in the mud and
were too weak and poor to extricate them

Says the Reno Journal Of yesterday: Mr..
D. H. Barker, the engineer, has commenc-
ed surveying q route for a narrow-gauge
railroad from Wadsworth to Columbus.
Those who have been over the ground say
that very little grading will be required.
The Enterprise says: Most Of the deserts
in that region are the basins Of extinct
lakes, and are about as level as the surface
of the water in the present lakes. Some
Of these ancient lakes were 200 or 800 feet
in depth, as is to be seen by the old water
marks on the hills, showing the several
levels at which the water stood in times
past. The Piutes have traditions about the
time when all the face Of the country was a
sea, with many islands dotting it. As the
old water lines can be seen and traced
miles away, SO fresh and strongly defined
are they, it was probably but q few hun
dred years ago, when the sea spoken Of ex-

IAN Honored Name,

The New York Daily News has this good
word for our district: "The Eureka Con-
solidated Mining Company has declared its
ffty-fourth dividend, the present one being
fifty cents a share, which brings the total
amount Of dividends paid by this company
up to the enormous sum OF 81, 315, 900.
The assessments levied by the same COM
pany amount to 500, 900, leaving $4,215,-

who will not believe in its permanency,
but the great mass Of investors have been
converted by the illustrious record the
mine has made, M Eureka is now an
honored name in mining"

RAILROAD BUILDING.

1. E. James. consulting engineer Of the
Carson and Colorado road. says the Chron-
icle, has been over the line, and reports
that he has seldom seen a region in which
less grading will be required, there being
miles of level country where there is moth
ing to be done but to put down the ties
and spike the rails to them. The heaviest
work on the whole line will come between
the Mound Honse and Dayton. In Mason
Valley the road bed will be raised slightly,
in order to cross the numerous irrigating
canals. Mr.. James believes that the road
will be the means Of building up two or
three lively towns in the agricultural region
near Walker Lake.
Mr.. lerington informed a Chronicle re-
porter that work has been commenced at
the Mound House in the erection of two
boarding houses for laborers, and that
the actual construction of the road will be
begun next week. Mr.. Yerington says the
company intends to employ white men to
do their work. The laborers will be COM
fortably housed and we'll fed. The length
of the line from the Mound House to Can
delaria is about $50 miles, and it is the in
tention to complete the section this year.
Eventually the road will be extended to
some point on the Colorado.

p. J.. Drisco1l Falls Down the Wfnxe
Of h Ray State Mine and IL In
stantly Killed.
We are called upon to make the sad an
nouncement Of the death Of P. ]. Driscoll,
ct the Bay State mine at 6 o'clock last
evening. Mr.. NJ. McCloud arrived at about
II o'clock last night, bringing the first in
telligence of the sorrowful occurrence. Fol-
lowing are the particulars Of the accident:
At the hour named the men were coming
up from their work in the mine. Mr..
Driscoll started to ascend the ladder lead
ing up from the winze. and had almost
reached the outstanding or station. Wheth-
or he tainted or missed his footing is not
known, but all Of q sudden he fell back
and went down the winze to the bottom,
a distance Of 1855 feet. He was in
stantly killed. Workmen in the
mine saw him falling, and
fastened to the bottom Of the winze, but
found life extinct. His body was consid-
erably bruised and mangled. and it is be-
lieved that his neck was broken by the
fall. The sad affair cast q deep gloom oyer
the little camp, as Mr.. Driscoll was q most
excellent man, and beloved by all VINO
knew him best for his many sterling quail
ties of head and heart. The remains were
placed In a wagon and brought to town,
when they were placed in charge Of Has
kells undertaking establishment. De-
ceased has a cousin working in the Ophir
mine on the Comstock, to whom
the sad news will be communi-
Gated to-day by telegraph. His aged
father in the old country will also be in
formed by wire to-day. Mr.. Driscoll had
lived at Mineral Hill in this county, and
had q large circle of friends among the
miners of Eastern Nevada. His untimely
death will be deeply deplored by all who
knew him.
1t is not yet known when the funeral will
take place, as the necessary arrangements
will not be made until dispatches are re-
ceived from his friends regarding the dis
| position to be made Of the body.

most satisfactory mining districts on the
Pacific coast. Business has been good
there for years, during which time it has

200 miles further from San Francisco than
is Bodie, travel between the two points is
thirty-six hours less and many times more
