Railroad Improvements.

Southern Pacific civil engineer
have been locating a new line on the
Central Pacific between Browns sta
tons and Wadsworth. The change
is made to avoid the heavy grades al
Browns and Hot Springs. The new
line will pass through the cut at the
outlet of Humboldt Lake and to the
south through the Carson sink coun-
try. This is level route all the way
to Wadsworth, but is few miles
longer. Times Review.
The report is out too, that the
Central Pacific engineers are looking
up route between Wells, Nevada,
aud Salt Lake city, SO as to run to
aud from the latter point without
passing through Ogden. 1t is said
the line will run to the south of Salt
Lake aud will be much shorter than
the existing one by way of Ogden.
The route now being looked over
is the one which would have been
used when the line was first con-
structed, had it not been that the
road was subsidized by the govern
ment, and it paid to make it as long
as possible.
Increased traffic, active competi-
ton and theatened inv ,sion of ter
ritory by eastern roads is waking
the Central Pacific Company up to a
realization that it's old and compare
lively inactive state must be aband'
oued, and new methods adopted il
it wishes to maintain its supremacy
on the Pacific coast.

Prospect for Copper.

The papers report Senator Clark
of Montana as having refused one
hundred million dollar offer for his
United Verde copper mines in Ari-
zona. 1t is said that these mines
show up the richest and biggest
bodies of ore in the world.
1t is reported too, that Senator
Clark has sold the output of these
mines for the next three years, at a
fixed price, and that the Rothschild's
of Europe are behind the purchase.
If this be true it means much for
copper prospects and it is guaran-
tee almost, that it will pay to con-
tinue the search for copper deposits,
and that the present price of that
metal will not materially change for
some time to come.

Which Was Who.

An interesting Missouri exchange
has this to cay: Two brothers from
a north Missouri county appeared
one morning at the portals of the
st. Joe Insane asylum, one to be in-
carcerated as patient and the
other having him in charge. They
were dressed very much alike and
the observer on the train would not
have detected signs of insanity in
either. The asylum man was in a
quandary. He chatted with the vis-
itors until a late hour and then
locked them in a room together.
then he telegraphed to the town
where the brothers lived: "Two men
arrived here from your town today,
both dressed alike. One calls him.

The Ely Mill Closed,

The Ely Mining and Milling COM
pany's mill here was closed down
Wednesday noon for the winter.
Manager Davis has been summoned
to Salt Lake and leaves this morning
He expects to make arrangements
for the new hoisting plant, anddur-
ing his absence only four men will
be employed at the mine straight
ening the shaft. On the arrival of
the hoist; a considerable force of
miners will be put on and develop
ment work pushed to depth of 500
feet. Manager Davis showed the
News man some samples of porous
quartz which was struck on the $50
level in their mine the same after
noon. 1t was encountered about
seventy feet from the shaft. and the
whole face of the drift is in ore. The
prospects OF a big body are most
promising. White Pine News.

Road Wagon a Failure.

Notwithstanding all that has been
claimed in their favor steam road
wagons have not proved success
in these mountains.
The two latest efforts to use them
in this State have been by the De-
Lamar Company in Lincoln county
and the Ens sllsh company operating
at Cherry Creek, White Pine Co.
The Cherry Creek company ex-
pected to operate their traction en-
gine between the Central Pacific
railroad and its mines, but after
several months experimenting it was
found the roads are too soft aud too
steep for a machine of such weight,
while lighter one would not pos
sess power enough for ordinary use.
and the machine is to be shipped to
some point in Utah.

The Old Farm House on the HILL"

We have just received u copy of
this beautiful home song, one of
the greatest ever written, and it can
be played either on the piano or or
gan. The words and music are by
Mr.. J. w. L.rman the composer of
the now famous "Couchee-Couchee
Dance" The song is being sung
in all the large thelters in the cities
OF New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, etc., and it is received
with great applause ard making
decided hit.
FIRST VERSE.
There's farm house remember,
twas my childhood's happy home,
And I'll ne'er forget its scenes
while life shall last.
OH l often wish that l could cross
its threshold as of yore,
And live once more the life that
now is past.
With father, kind and gentle, and
dear sainted mother, too,
Who always tried their duty to
fulfill,
l would that dear old roomy farm
house on the hill.
CHORUS
To me it was palace of grandeur
unsurpassed;
loved it when child, l love it
still,
And no greater JOY l covet than to
visit once again
And live within that farm house
on the hill.
The regular price of this song is
50c., but if our readers will be sure
to mention the name of this paper,

Mining Experts Opinion.

The force of the following com
ment by mining publication on
the methods of the average min
ing expert, is about right, as the ex-
PERI nee OF III ny IN old prusp ctcr
has proven, hut it wuras both ways.
Expert opinious have poured vast
amounts of money into worthless
sections, and on the other hand have
retarded the development of many a
good district. The thing evens up
somewhat, except that in the first
instance the money is total loss.
while in the latter the holding back
is temporary, aud where merit exists
lasts only until the hackers of the
district disprove the experts opinion
by opening up claims and showing
the values right there. The article
says:
cit is inexplicable why the opin-
ion of the professional mining ex-
pert should be implicitly relied up
on by so many apparently intelligent
men. He goes into a camp of which
he is entirely ignorant-knows
nothing OF its formation and litho-
logical peculiarities, looks around
owhshly for day or two and then
gives an opinion to either damn or
praise the mine he is employed to
examine.
In ninety nine instances in hun
dred subsequent developments prove
him to be wrong. We contend that
nobody can go through mine as if
constable were after him and know
anything about it. Study of the
ground and the peculiarities of the
locality is necessary. No two min
ing belts in the world are identical
in their characteristics, yet experts
seem to Judge from one standpoint.

State T axes.

The total valuation placed on
Nevada assets by assessors in the
State is about $25, 100000. The tax
levy throughout the state averages
three and eight tenths per cent. The
State Board advises the raising of
the assessed valuation to SIS, 200, 900
-Ex.
With the fire fund taxes knocked
of, that leaves Lincoln little below
the general average in its tax rate,
though hereabouts it is regarded as
outrageously high.
The State has about reached the
limit of indebtedness which it may
incur under the provisions of the
constitution, and before the next
legislature meets, something must
be done to increase the state revenues
Either that or cut down its expenses
There are too many politicians in the
way however, to permit this latter
course, hence the efforts of the State
Board to increase property valuation
The Board will not succeed in its
efforts to raise he total valuation tc
anything like $75, 900. 100000. but i
it should it would result in a rate o
state taxation OF So. on the 800
valuation, instead of 81. as at pre-
sent.

We were visited by wind and
rain storm Oh Sunday evening.
Quantities of rain fell, accompa-
MED by terrific thunder and
lightning, closing up with hail.
We learn that the hail did great
damage to growing crops on Mr..
C. D. Moons place, also at Mr.. J.
L. Landrum's and Prof. J. B.
Hughes. Mr.. G. G.. Billiard and
Mr.. A. A. Martin also suffered
considerably, corn on these places
was cut down and cotton COM
pletely destroyed. 1t seems very
discouraging, such losses, sudden
and unexpected, and after much
labor had been expended and
prospects were SO bright for good
crops. These gentlemen will re-
plant their fields with corn, and
thank the good Lord that the de-
struction was not greater.
Our town is quiet, health of
people good.
Most of our young people went
to the big singing on Sunday at
Union Grove church. The entire
crowd, numbering thousands, was
caught in the big storm. A bolt
of lightning descended near the
Concord church, creating conster-
nation among the boys and girls
and knocked down horse, tore
up a buggy and caused a panic
among the horse stock generally.
No casualties of a fatal nature re-
ported.
