SYNDICATE WANTS CONTROL


REPORTED MOVEMENT TO PUR-
CIIAsE THE BlRANDYWlNE
SPRINGS RAILWAY LINE.
1t is understood that railway syn
dicate which has q large capital will
endeayor to gain control of the VIII
mington and Brandywlne Springs
railway line. The company which IS
s. eking the new road intends to oper-
ate line between Philadelphia and
Wilmington and Baltimore, and the
acquisition on the Springs road would
prove an immense advantage as a
feeder for the road. If the syndicate
gets control Of the new road it will
run lines to an towns adjacent to the
road.
The fact that the Springs line is built
across the Landenberg branch OF the
d. and o. is looked upon by the syn
dicate which is seeking southern con-
nections as an important barrier re-
moved. The trouble experienced by
electric railways all over the country
in crossing railroads will be obviated
in this case, should the syndicate get
control Of the road. 1t Is also the in
tention to connect all towns between
Wilmington and Baltimore with the
main line.

CARSON CITY.
THE CALL GIVES THE TOWN A
GOOD WRITE UP.
All About the City and Its Sur
roundlngs.

Miss Miriam Nicholson of the San
Carson City:
The ill wind that has blown the clouds
out of California's sky and with the
clouds the rain that is due California's
farmers has immensely improved the
prospects of Carson Valley. In all the
valley there are no beef cattle for sale.
All have been disposed of and at excell-
ent prices. For days past two and three
carloads of cattle a day have been ship
ped from there. Hundreds of tons of
hay have been sent out Of the valley
within the past month at prices more
than double what Carson Valley ranch
ers received heretofore.
The quality of timothy hay raised near
Carson is of a peculiar excellence. Once
upon a time Haggin & Tevis believed it
economy to get the supply for their
racing stable from Carson, though it cost
them 500 a ton by the time it reached
New York. Nevada's Capital is not de
pendent for its prosperity upon the mills
or the mines, the State and National in
situations or the farming country of
which it is the center. 1t is the condition
of all these interests united which dis
poses the Carsonite to believe that the
turning point has been reached and pros
perity lies straight ahead. Carson pos
sesSes all the attractions with which
Nevada endows her most favored cities.
1t has the river and the mountains. 1t is
level and tree shaded. Its supply of
pure spring water comes from the noun
tains behind. 1t was well known that
when Nevada water-like a certain cele-
brated little girl who wore curls-is good,
it is very good. And Carson's is of the
best. As to the climate of Nevada's cap
i~tal-though it disgraced itself and Ne
vada last March by furnishing what is
now known as prizefght weather-the

ANENT HOME ENTERPRISE,

1t is years since this particular section
of Nevada has been in condition any
thing like what it is to-day. \ week ago
Carson organized an improvement club,
to which the best men in the town be-
long. The club proposes to build up the
place, to encourage home trade, to reach
a 10000 mark in population. Years ago
Carson women supposed it impossible to
supply their households and their ward
robes here.
They sent outside the State for gowns
and bonnets and furniture. Nowadays
they patrOnize Ormsby County mer-
chants; as a result the Carson store
keepers are keeping a better class of
goods and their prices are more reason
able. The merchants nave become en-
couraged to reach out for more business.
They advertise nowadays fully twice as
much as they used to. And the next
link in the commercial chain, the news
papers are issuing extra editions-an in
novation heretofore unknown in Nevada
and increasing their circulations
throughout the country.
The Pine Nut excitement comes lust
at the right time to lift Carson upon a
wave of success. Within tt rec days 1000
acres OF and have been taken up near
what was known as the Zirn mine.
twenty miles from Carson, where a
pocket Of ore assaying $4,000 a ton was
found some years ago, and "old Zirn,"
as Carsohites call the ~discoverer, made
his fortune. And hen a sudden end
came to the golden tale. For miners
hitherto at Pine Nut have been repeat
ing the experience of the early Comstock
miners, with this difference. that the
Pin Nut prospectors lave been seeking
for quartz and scorning placer.
ORMSBY COUNTY'S MINES.
On California placer mines that pay Is
or 20 cents to the cubic yard dividends
have been declared. The Pine Nut
gravel extends over 700 acres to a depth
of more than 60 feet and is worth 81 a
cubic yard. If Pine Nut were located
near Dawson City there'd be a stampede
up at the klOndike. People in Carson
are deeply interested in the Pine Nut
region. They may well be-; for if half
what is claimed for these wonderful
placers is trne, Carson's Improvement
Club will have TO raise its mark. Ten
thousand people will not content it two
years from now.
An interesting fact in connection with
the Pine Nut mines is the presence in
Carson of James M. Wishart of Oakland,
the inventor of a gold-saving machine. a
sort OF improved rocker which the man
