THE LOCAL TRAINMEN,
They Are Better Paid than Those ON
Any Other Lines In the United
States.

They Are Better Paid than Those on
Any Other Lines In the United
States.
An old engineer who recently took
a trip over the Wood River Branch
Railway informed the TINES that the
trainmen on the Oregon Short Line
and Wood River Branch are the best
paid of any in the world. The rate
per 200 miles the basis of pay) is less
than in Iowa and Illinois, being only
1886 here as against 81 in the East,
but the runs are longer, the work
much easier, and the berths preferable
for many reasons.
On the Wood River Branch, for in. .
stance, the train makes one round trip
daily, leaving Shoshone about o'clock
in the morning, and returning about
8 in the evening The distance trav-
eled is about 120 miles the round trip,
with only three or four stoppages on
the road, and only three stations
where any considerable quantity of
freight is taken on or put off, Yet
the train crew, to.wit: the conductor,
engineer and fireman, are allowed II
days for each trip, or nine days per
week of six trips, which is equal to
about $3.50 or $3.50 per month for the
conductor and the engineer. The
brakemen only get sos per month,
but the fireman is also allowed a day
and half.
The run to Huntington is also a
paying one, as it counts the crew three
days each way, while scarcely 4S hours
are occupied in transit.
The earnings of the crews run SC
high that it is stated for a fact tina,
the accountants dare not report them
in full to Omaha, and last June an
engineer who earned 1928 was PAID
$3.50 and given coupon certificate
for the balance, which he was in.
structed to collect piecemeal by
adding portion to his payroll during
the subsequent months.
The train boys know that they are
we'll paid, and they therefore have nc
hesitation in stating that they have
no grievances to redress, and that al
they ask is TO be paid as we'll as they
now are.

"DOn't Give Us Away"

The story is being told that cou-
pie of cowboys sat down to dinner at
the Pacific Hotel few days ago. A
fine lot of celery with a number Of
green leaves on the end of it was
placed nearly opposite the pair. One
of them reached over and was en-
gagged in eating stalk, when his
companion, with look of horror on
his face, caught him by the arm, and
in hoarse whisper said: my God!
Bill, don't give US away by eating the
table bouquet"
1t Is said that several people who
overheard the remark, smiled quite
audibiy.-Cheyenne Sun.

The Chestnut Bells.

Hear the ringing of the bells
Chestnut BELLS
What q thrill of horror their melody foreteils,
AS they tinkle tinkle, tinkle,
Half hidden out Of sight,
And the grins begin to wrinkle
Faces with their eyes a-twnkle,
With a crystalline delight
Calling, "Timel timei timer

That suggests there's something olden that dotl

Hence the BELLS bells, bells,

THE COMSTOCKS.
lheY Seem to be About 10 Execute
Some Ground and Lofty Tumbllng on
the Stock Market.

the Stock Market.
During the past two weeks a very
pronounced upward tendency has
been manifested in the price of Com.
stock shares. Stocks which last month
sold for less than 81 per share, now
sell for prices ranging from SO to $40
per share, with an unmistakable dis
position to go much higher.
This upward movement, which is
the most general and uniform seen in
the past eight years, is due to the dis
covery of two large ore bodies-the
one in the Consolidated California and
Virginia, the other in the Savage
mine. In the latter its extent has
been demonstrated from the 525 to
the 950-foot level, while a DRIFT sent
in on the 6O0-level penetrated 60 feet
of ore without reaching the wall.
Drifts are being run for air-counec.
tons, and as soon as these are COM
pleted prosecuting will begin. Shares
are now selling for $3.50 each. Three
weeks ago they scarcely brought 81.
The Soon. Cal. & Va" bonanza is,
however, more extensivel y developed,
and shares in this mine are selling for
$40, against about 81 five weeks ago.
Of this nine the Virginia New
Chronicle says:
Shrewd calculators roughly esti
mate that the deposit contains ore
sufficient to produce $2O,00O,OOO in
bullion. At the present rate of pro.
duction it will require four years to
exhaust the deposit if that estimate
is anywhere near the mark. This
will leave a margin of $12,000,000 to
be disbursed in dividends to share
holders above all expenses in case the
ore extracted does not drop below the
present value per ton.
On that basis the total dividends
disbursed would foot up $55 for each
share of stock in the mine.
The present bullion output will al
most admit of the disbursement of a
monthly dividend of 81 per share.
This, at the present selling price OF
the stock, pays per cent. per month
to shareholders on the sum invested
If the price should advance to 500
per share, holders of the stock would
then be receiving per cent. pei
month on the investment by the dis
bursement of monthly dividends OF
81 per share-double the amount real
lied on coin invested in any other
character of collateral securities.
By reference to the transactions ir
the San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board, published in another column
it will be seen that the price OF shares
bounded upward "a between sessions
Notwithstanding the large sales o.
blocks of 1000 shares and upward
the quotations continued to advance
rapidly without sign of wavering
and prices remained firm at the close
of the last session.
1t is possible, though quite improb
able, that we are about to witness an
other of those phenomenal upheaval'
when the price of shares IN the favor
lite Comstock mines increases from 8
dollar or two to as many hundreds o
dollars within few weeks. If such
contingency occurs many an old
timer now wandering through the
mining regions from Mexico to the
British Domnions will hasten back t.
"the best country on Gods footstool.

A MODERN GHOST SToRY.-At about
three o'clock last Friday morning Mrs.
Emily Frayne, widow, of Hamilton, Ont
who had gone to Cleveland to visit her
sister, died very suddenly. Frank Lamb, a
fresco painter, who occupies apartments adj
Joining those in which Mrs. Frayne died,
relstes remarkable story. he says that
between two aud three o'clock on the morn
inc in question he was awakened, and, look
ing across the room, he saw lady sitting
on lounge about four feet from the bed.
"What do you want?" he asked.
Raising her right hand, the lady said,
"Hush hush ~ and then she disappeared.
Lamb is disbeliever in ghosts, and he at
once made search of the room and ex-
amined the lock of the door. He found the
door was securely fastened, and, getting In
bed, he lay for ten minutes thinking about
the strange occurrence.
Suddenly the clothing of his bed and the
tick were tumbled of on the floor by some
unseen power, and he fell himself on the
floor. Being angry by this time, Lam
made another search of the room without
finding anybody. He then opened the door,
and as he did SO Mrs. MADDEN, the sister ct
Mrs. Frayne, came from her room into the
hall, saying, My sister is dead" Lamb
declares that be was not excited, and that
he was perfectly sober. He cannot account
for the strange occurrences. Other people
in the block who heard Lamb fall also left
their rooms, and they corroborate his story
as to the coincidence of his fall with Mrs
Frayne's death.
