THE COST OF RUNNING A TRAIN.


As a passenger sits at car window and
sees the miles posts whirl past, he seldom
stops to reflect what it has cost the com
pany to pull the train mile. \ party of
gentlemen, some of them experienced men,
sat i'm the lobby of the Kennard House re-
Gently, when the question as to the cost of
running an ordinarily heavy passenger
train was raised. Several of them made
estimates, but every one of them was far
below the amount. The average cost of
running an ordinary passenger train of
from six to ten coaches is from one dollar
to one dollar and a quarter mile. This
may seem large at first but when the sew
eral items are taken into account one will
suspect after all, that the estimate is too
small. One of the principal items is the
running of the locomotives. 1t has been
the study of master mechanics to reduce
the cost of running an engine, and each
claims to be little closer in his calcula-
tions than the other. The average cost
during January of running the engines on
the Bee Line, for example, was l5.I7 cents
per mile Freight engines run at cost
per mile of III cents. Passenger engines
cost less. viz, 1924 cents per mile, while
switch engines. which are credited with so
much mileage per day, regardless of the
distances, run at so low a cost as to reduce
the average to 1877 cents per mile. The
engines ran 34.63 miles to ton of coal
and 16. 3S miles to pint of oil.
Added to the expense of motive power is
the outlay for wear and tear of cars it is
estimated that it costs three cents a mile to
keep sleeping ear running, and the wages
of train hands, etc. The expense from the
item of wear and tear is increased by the
increase of the speed of the train. The
special trains on the Lake Shore, running
at speed of about forty miles an hour
and the fast mail. at about thirty-seyen
miles, are the most expensive trains ON that
line. 1t is not generally known what the
government pays the Lake Shore people
for running the fast mail from New York
to Chicago, but it ought to receive at least
$500 to fully compensate it. Another little
item of railroad operation is the expense of
stopping and starting a train, which am ex-
perienced railroad man said recently could
not he effected at less expense than from
seventeen to twenty-five cents at each
stop.

Ed. BULLETIN Il feel IL my duty
although an outsider, to let the people
of Esmeralda County and other neigh.
bors know that Patterson District is
not altogether left in the rear as min
ing camp. | have spent large portion
of my time IN prospecting between
Mount Patterson and Sugar Loaf
Mountain and along the Kentuck and
Silverado Range of mountains to the
head of Sweetwater Canon, and |
confidently believe that Patterson
District will, in time, be a second Com
stock. l visited several mines and
found the boys very industriously
hammering away, and found their
mines looking well. There have been
no less than six very rich strikes made
this summer. Some are of good size,
and assay from 500 to $500 per ton
and of good milling quality.
The Silverado mine is lookin. well.
Mr.. Downing, the owner, is taking
out ore every dry for the new Silver,
ado mill, in Cottonwood Canon.
sheriff Mckinney, of Bridgeport,
has been down to look at his Home
stake mine, which is situated east and
on the same mountain as the Silverado.
He is also taking out some very rich
ore FOR the Silverado mill.
The Kentuck is looking well, con
sidering the many disadvantages
under which they labor in working it,
The Summers mill, in Clinton, is
shut down for REPAIRS bat will resume
work as soon as the necessary ma
chinery can be put in place.
DR.. G. N. Summers is taking out
rock from the Lady Hays for his new
mill, which he coniemplates building
somewhere in Faris Canon during the
Fail or coming Winter. The Doctor
says he VIII stick to the fight and if he
wins he will make it lively for the
noNs.
judge G. A. Kern, of Sweetwater,
show d some very fine rock from his
| mine east and south of the Comstock
mine. He bad assays that went as
high as S4J3 81. and has a five-foot
ledge. The Judge is greatly elated
yer his rich find.
The Meigher brothers are making
some very fine discoveries and say
that they are going to stay with the
clmp.
The Comstock is looking better
every day and iis owners are very
| industriously working it.
| understand that there is stron9
talk of quartz mill in Sweetwster
Canon thi. Fall or Winter, which will
| work he rock from the Comstock and
o,ber mines in that neighborhood.
All that Pat erson District needs is
capital The mines are here and they
are full of ore. PRosPECToR.

TIE Small. Advertisement.

Because merchant cannot afford to
!inscr, a half column advertisement in
a newspaper is no reason why he
should not advertise. All heavy
advertisers began with smallannounce-
ments. The great merchant princes,
like A. T. Stewart, spent at the begin
ming only small sums each ycar-a
certain per cent of their income 1t is
mistake to suppose small advertise
ments are not seen. They arc not only
seen, but, as rule, read by all who
see them because their contents can be
taken at a glance. Merchants who do
not advertise should try the expert
ment, especially in the dull season,
The public will not seek a business
man. He must interest the public and
