OVER The STATE

The latest rumor coming from the
Comstock is that Senator John P.
Jones will be candidate to succeed
himself. II Jones is alive it is q sure
thing that he will be candidate

rGeo. I. Lamy, editor of the Record,
of Gardnerville, Nevada, says Gard :
nerville is the coming town of the State
and points to the butter shipments OF
about fifty tons each month. Italwavs
brings the highest price in the Califor-
mia markets. The business is progress
sing to such an extent that very short
| ly new and larger creamery will have
to be built. Nevada is the banner state
for butter, and where we now have
four or five creameries, there should be
fifty or more.
In the record of camp assays that
were yesterday received from the man
agement of the Dexter Mining COM
pany at Tuscarora, New, was one that
almost took away the breath of George
Airs, the secretary. 1t certified to the
presence of ore containing $40, Ia in
gold and s152 rs silver, or total of
$40, 266. rs per ton. The ore from
which this enormous result was OBJ
tanned, was taken from the big ''open
cut'' on the property, and in which
some very high-grade material has al
ways been found. The sample was, of
course, picked one.-Salt Lake Trib-
une.
A marvel in the locomotive line pass
ed westward through Reno. 1t is one
of the engines ordered some months
ago by the Southern Pacific company
for use on the mountain division. 1t is
twelve wheeler and weighs 1000
pounds, stripped. The giant scenes
all out of proportions. The boiler is
seven feet in diameter and the stack is
only IA inches high. The cab rises
only this distance above the boiler
The engine is what railroad men call
"one hinged" compound. Another
popularity is that all the drivers have
flanges. AS they cover long rail dis
lance it looks to layman as though
curves would have to be abolished on
the division on which it will be run.
The Southern Pacific elevated track
for unloading coal at Wadsworth is 10
feet long, says the Dispatch. To be
used in conjunction with this track the
company will build twelve portable
chutes two of which are nearly COM
plete. These portable chutes are used
to load coal on engines at minimum ex-
pense and are the latest device in use
by railroads for this purpose. The two
spoken OF are about 80 feet long, about
the same height, run on track II
feet wide between the rails of which
is standard track to be used by the
engine which moves the chutes. The
pockets of the chutes measure the coal
taken by an engine, and the pockets
will be filled by steam shovel appa
ratus worked by an engine running on
the elevated track. This plant for the
handling OF coal will be one OF the lar
gest and most complete of any on the
Southern Pacific system.
