MORE ABOUT A RAILROAD.

Marsh, below OOQaVllle, anu inc
extension of the road into TOnO-
pah. The Southern Pacific Com
pany, owners of the c. & c. have
agreed to make this change if a.
bonus of $4,000 is paid to the
company by the mining companies
of Tonopah when the change IN
gauge and the extension is COM
pleted. Since the offer was made
it has not been learned that the
Tonopah people have taken any
action in the matter, but it may
possibly be too soon to learn what
they think of the proposition.
However, it is not too soon for
the people of Lyon county, and
particularly Mason Valley, to think
about what they would be willing
to do to secure the broad gauging
of the c. & c. AS before stated,
such a change would be of inesti-
mable value to this section. 1t
would put our great agricultural
section in direct communication
with the great mining section to
the south of us, and in which
ready market at good prices could
be found for years to come for
every pound of agricultural pro-
duce that could be raised here.
Not only this, but the facilities for
shipping beef cattle out of our val
ley would be so greatly enhanced
that thousands of head of cattle
would be fed here during the Win
ter instead of hundreds. This
would make a further market for
all the hay which could be raised.
With this condition would come
home-seekers, our large tracts
would be cut up into small farms,
and our fertile valley would be
dotted with pleasant homes and
prosperous families. Further,
there would be demand for the
settlement of the water question,
an irrigation district would prob
ably be formed, and thousands of
acres now not under cultivation
would be brought into bearing.
Would it not be worth while for
Lyon county people to go to some
trouble and expense to bring about
such results? In our article of
last week no intimation was made
of how assistance could be render
ed the Southern Pacific Company
in carrying out its proposition.
Some may have inferred that it
would be necessary to bond the
county. Such measure we should
be opposed to, but there is a way
in which we could show our good
will and be of some assistance, and
that is to remit the taxes on the
company's road and holdings in
our county for a term of years.
This would not be an actual do
nation, and would come in a way
which would be little felt by our
taxpayers. To be sure the South
ern Pacific Company has not asked
Lyon county to do anything of the
kind; but if the Tonopah mining
companies think the bonus asked
is too large, the proposed change
in gauge and extension will not be
made. In fact, there is possibility
that the road from Eureka might
be extended south to Tonopah
and all supplies taken in and out
of that camp by that route. Such
an arrangement would cut this
section off the map entirely as a
base of supplies for agricultural
products, and for all time.
Lyon county has in her treasury
to-day something over $1,000 of a
surplus. The CO c. road is as
sessed at about 100000 in round
numbers; the taxes raised at the
present rate on this amount are

any particular significance in Colonel
Samuel D. Dickinson's prolonged visit

1T was what you might call social

things and had very pleasant time
What did we discuss? Appointments? :?
Oh, yes, but I can't say anything about
that just now.
ITO tell you the truth haven't made
up my mind whom / will appoint to any
particular place. / intend to leave the
list open until the last possible moment
without making pledges to anybody. Then
if see fit can make changes without
offending anybody. I viii probably an
nounce my appointments about two days
before January 1. Nothing has been ac-

Friends of Assessment Commissioner
Richard r.. Connolly are urging his ap4
pointments as Police Commissioner to
succeed Or. John D. McGill He has
the backing Of Colonel Samuel D. Dick
inson and the Dickinson Association.
While Mayor Pagan thinks well of Con-
molly it is said he does not approve of
placing him in the Police Board. Con-
molly lives in the Second Ward. This is
one of the reasons why the Mayor does
not care to appoint him.
John Mitchell, who is member of the
Police Board, now. comes from the Third
Ward.
The Mayor seems to think that one
representative from the Horseshoe Dis
trict is sufficient Mitchell is president
of the Dickinson Association and was ap-
pointed at the request of Colonel Dickin-
son. If Connolly were appointed that
would give Dickinson control of the
Police department. The Mayors friends
have talked with him on this subject
and say the machine would do as it saw
fit in the Police Board if Connolly were
appointed
Colonel Dickinson has been to see the
Mayor at his Office in the City Hall twice
in Connolly's behalf.
The Mayor is anxious to appoint an
out and out Democrat, but one friendly
to him and who will grant him favor
when he requests it.
The Impression is that the Mayor will
appoint his uncle. Undertaken John F..
