TOnOpah's Special Car.

The people of Tonopah are a pro-
gressive lot, and to their enterprise
and push can be credited much of the
success Of that thriving city. They
know they have the mines to make q
great camp, and they propose to let
the people of the East know about it..
1t is reported the latest move in this
line which they are to undertake is
the sending of special car of speci
mems through all the Southern and
Eastern States. This car will be ac
companied by some of the leading
business and mining men of the dis
trict, and as each prominent city in
the section visited is reached a free
exhibition will be given. A move of
this kind will not only be a big adver-
tisement for Tonopah, but will also
add greatly in attracting the atten-
ton of outside capitalists to the many
other resources of the State in gen.
eral. Reno Gazette.

Wagon Road ia Tonopah.


Some local thought is being given
TO the adyisability and feasibility Of
cons tructiug a wagon road across the
White mountains somewhere opposite
this place, for the purpose Of more
readily reaching Tonopah, Silver
Peak. aud other camps, present and
prospective, lying across the range
There is one factor to be reckoned
with from the first, and that is the
effect the possible extension OF the
Carson & Colorado to Tonopah would
have ON the use for such a road.
Aside from this, the only matter de-
serving serious consideration would
be the cost, for the use and advan-
tage it would be there is no question.
The distance would be materially re-
duced. The shortest route now used
requires, from here, approximately
1870 miles of travel-possibly more.
The part-rail route still leaves some
thing like 60 miles of teaming to be
done. Those familiar with the in
tervening country tell us that a road
from here to Tonopah need not be
over 100 miles long. Tonopah is, we
understand, in section 2, township ?
north, range ~ east. Bishop is in
sections 6 and I, township 7 south,
range 30 east Thus by the section
lines the camp is AZ miles east and
"a miles north of this point This
total of III miles would probably be
much reduced by carefully survey
ed wagon road, for the air line dis
lance is less than eighty miles. Our
/ information is that the shortest route
would be through Silver canyon, just
east of Laws, while the easiest and
cheapest would be through Black
cany on, some seven miles further
south Whichever were chosen it is
apparent that much distance could be
saved For present use, call the
probable distance 100 miles. The
building of such a road would at once
make this teaming center, and a
/ business center as well, of the first
comparative Importance. While
/ benetitting the teamster and the con
sumner at the other end of the line, it
would fully double the business that
the camp now does in this valley.
| Figures are not needed to show OF
what consequence such result would
be. Nor is it Tonopah alone that is
TO be considered. All those eastern
ranges are full of men seeking and
developing mines. The marvellous
success of Tonopah has been an in
spiration to investors who had come
to lose faith in mining Operations in
this intermOuntain country. The
prospectors are out, hoping to find
another Tonopah-and some of them
will uncover riches now unknown.
Such a road as that mentioned would
insure business from all such discov-
cries. The man after supplies, as
well as the capitalist who was look
ing over bis property, would find in
this pleasant valley an attractive
stopping place for business or pleas
sure. -Inyo Register,

HUGE RAIL WAY COMBINE
Details Of Plan Advanced by
Paul Morton.
NATIONAL OWNERSHIP SUGGESTED

Vice President of the Santa Ee Sys-
tenn. In a Lecture at Chicago Uni
versity, Favored the Consolidation
of All Lines In the United States.
PIea For Pooling.
Consolidation of all the railway lines
of the country under the control of a
single corpora ton, either private or
public, was advanced by Vice Presi-
dent Paul Morton of the Santa Fe
system the other evening as the ulti-
mate solution of the weighty trans.
portation problems that are at present
veXing the business world.
This, Mr.. Morton declared is the re-
suit toward which the large railway
systems, driven by the legal restric-
tions on pooling, which work against
their business interests, are now rap
idly tending.
He impaired these views on the sub
ject in a lecture on ''Some Railway
Problems" delivered before the stu
dents and faculty of the University of
Chicago in Cobb hall, Chicago, says
the New York Journal.
Whether the ownership of the con-
solidated lines would remain in the
hands Of private individuals or be tax
en- over by the national government
<Mr. Morton expressed himself as un-
able to foretell, but that consolidation
itself was bound to come in the near
future he stated as certain from pres
ent conditions in the railway world
and the underlying tendencies of mod
ern industrial pgogre SIS.
1.-THE best minds Of the business
world are engaged today" said Mr..
Morton, t'in working out plans for the
further consolidation of Industrial op-
erations under great corporations. The
same tendency is at work In the rail-
way world.
t'Under the present laws there is q
great deal Of unlawful pooling done in
secret, and it is remarkable that there
Is not more.
81 see only three solutions to the
problems which are at present veXing
the railroad world. These are:
''First.-Legalizing of legitimate pool
ing.
''Second.-Unification of ownership Of
all the railway systems.
'"Third.-Governme ownership and
management.
Il have always been in favor OF le-
gftimate pooling. It's absence, as I say,
is at present Fastening the consolida-
ton of interests between the different
railroads. Personally view the solu-
ton Of unity OF ownership as much bet.
ter than legalized pooling. and I do not
see any harm that would ensue from
