REDUCED RATES FOR TONOPAH.

Salt Lake Tribune, March g.: A letter
from Tonopsh, Nevada, to the ore buy
ers of this city brings the news that the
Southern Pacific Railway Company has
reduced the tariff on ores between that
camp and the Salt Lake valley smelters
from SIS to $3.50 per ton on ores Of the
value of 800, the tariff again advancing
q the value Of the product increases. To
San Francisco the same company exacts
q tariff of but $40 a ton. The haul to that
town necessitstes a pull over the mount
ain ranges, while n engine does the
work between Tonopah and Salt Lake
Valley. The new tariff will afford no re-
lief and the Tonopah- producer will
continue sending his output either to
Selby's or the furnaces at Everett, Wash.
In the meantime very little ore is being
billed out of the camp. The companies
have ascertained that a mill upon the
ground is the proper thing, and the only
thing for their relief. and at last one is
promised the present season. To that
end contracts for machinery are o
being made. with assurances that the
material shall be delivered as soon as it
car be turned out of the mandatory.

There is healthy and vigorous agita.
ton in the country OF the question OF
shoddy cloth masquerading as wool. A
bill is before Congress providing that
manufacturers Of shoddy cloths must
label their output "shoddy," and pro-
viding penalties for violations of the
law. 1t is not surprising that the peo-
pie who are engaged in the business OF
making shoddy should protest vocifer-
ously against what they call q scheme
to crusha struggling infant American
industry. They say that, if compelled
to reveal the real nature OF their goods
to the public. they will be ruined. The
answer to this, on the part Of the WOOL
growers and manufacturers Of genuine
wooden goods, is that if they must lie
to and swindle the public in order to
live, ruin is quite the proper thing for
them, and that Congress ought to &C
CELEBRATE it as much as possible.

work Is being done on the railroad be-
tween Pslissds and Reno. A big force is
camped at the sand-cut, q few miles west

order to follow the survey it Is necessary
to change the course Of the Humboldt

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

Carson Appeal.
Nearly every mail brings in some pros
pectus Of q wildcat mining scheme that
is being launched. Tonopah is at pres
ent the point selected by the shark-work-
ers as the most prosperous ground. Re-
Gently q letter was received by Riley
Davis, asking information regarding a
mining incorporation that is selling stock
on o property situated near Tonopah.
Several Tonopah men who were shown
the prospectus Of the company declare
that the mine is not neal the mineral
section of the Tonopah lodges, and is a
rank fake. This is not the first of this
kind that has made its appearance. The
trouble lie that the fakirs who operate in
this line know better than to send their
printed matter this way or offer to sell any
stock in this section, as it is easy to trace
the standing of q company or locate their
holdings. The wildcat stock goes to
Eastern cities, where it is sold, and will
do the State more harm than anything
that could happen. The inquiry received
by Mr.. Davis is being loated in Philadel-
phia and the letter states that consider
able has been sold. This one company
will do more to hurt Nevada than a dozen
mining failures among our own people.
II these fakirs could only be run to cover
in the State it is safe to say that they and
their company would be given such a
deal that they would leave Nevada alone
for all time.
