THE MIDLAND RAILROAD.


+. A. Vail, engineer for the road,
in company with General Manager
Pearson of the n. c. X. X. Co, went
over fifty miles Of the proposed route
Wednesday and Thursday on an ob.
servation trip, aud Friday morning
departed for Salt Lake City, TO re-
turn within the next ten days TO
commence the survey. John Everill
chief constructor, is here and has
engaged crew To assist Mr.. Vail in
the survey. Mr.. Everill is also max
ing arrangements for men and teams
TO be used in grading, and he says
his orders are to push the road
through to completion as soon as
possible. From Ledlie, six miles west
of Austin and eightysiX miles from
Battle Mountain, u survey was made
in 1880 for the Nevada Southern
road, which has been kept alive and
which has been absorbed by the new
Nevada Midland.
The new company therefore starts
in with line in operation for eighty
six miles of the distance and route
located for seventy-two miles more,
making only fortyfour miles to be
surveyed into Toropah.
From Austin Junction the survey
follows the Reese river in southerly
direction, leaving the stream to cut
across the country to Cloverdale
Thence a route will be surveyed
southwesterly to Tonopah.
There are no serious engineering
problems in the route, says Mr.
Bamberger. 1T is an easy grade for
practically the entire distance. In
one place there is a twenty-mile tan
gent, and there are other places
where the road is straight for some
distance.
1--WE shall endeavor to have the
road ready for traffic as far as Tono-
pah before the end of the year,
although much depends on our ability
to get material The steel mills are
all so busy that there may be delay
about getting rails. We shall go
ahead with the grading, however,
and expect to have that finished in
three or four months. The rails will
be laid as fast as they can be supplied
The new road will be broad
gagged throughout and will be put
into "a condition to handle heavy
traffic The Nevada Central is a
narrow-gauge road. New and heavier
rails will be laid and the road will be
standardized throughout. - Austin

CHANCELLOR OF EXCHEOUER
FOLLOWS SALISBURY.
RESIGNS IMpORTANToFFIcE
Lord Salisbury Steps Down from Pre-
miership and is Succeeded by A. j.
Balfour-Chamberlain to Have
More Influence in New Cabinet
Though Reported Disappointed.

London, July 15.-Following close on
the resignation of Premier Salisbury
is that of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
who yesterday resigned as chancellor
of the exchequer. He stated his rea-
sons for resigning were purely person
al and had no political significance. The
resignation of Hicks-Beach caused in
tense surprise. 1t is generally taken
as almost more important than Lord
Salisbury's and is regarded in some
quarters as being directly due to the
more important voice which Mr. Cham
berlain Will have in the new cabinet.
At meeting of the unionist party to
be held at the foreign Office this noon
the announcement will be made of
Lord Salisbury's resignation The Right
Hon. A. j. Balfour has been appointed
as his successor. Vague rumors of

may break the strike it does not end
it. It is still in progress as lar as
twenty of the twenty-four railroads are
concerned. President Curran and a
few supporters are still unreconciled
and state they will not recognize the
agreements.
The fact remains, however, that the
majority of the handlers are seemingly
tired of the strike and eager to return
to work. 1t is probable they will be
given an opportunity to do so today, for
all railroads are eager to sign agree
ments to that obtained by the en-
ployes of the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railroads. This agree
ment was signed yesterday after all
hope of break in the strike appeared
at an end All roads had refused to
accept the demands originally made
by the strikers. Business men were
meeting and determining to deliver
freight under police protection. To
day Mayor Harrison has called a con-
ference of railroad officials, strikers
and labor leaders.

Veterans Are Beaten at Golf

Glenview, ILL.,, July 16.-Youngsters

ing struggle for the amateur golf
championship honors yesterday. Of
sixty-four who qualified in the medal
play at eighteen holes large proportion
were lads who have learned the game
in the last three or four years and
whose strength is not yet upon them
Many veterans fell by the wayside,
while such old times as J. G.. Thorp of
Massachusetts,, state champion, and
Herbert j. TWeedie of Belmont turned
in scores that barely entitled them to
a contest in the match play today. The
biggest surprise of the day was fur

who tied Champion Travis medal score

CUBAN MINISTER
WANTS BRAGG OUT

Washington, July 15.-Cuban Minis
ter Queseda refuses to make a state
ment regarding the words attributed to
Consul General Bragg at Havana, in
which he is alleged in a letter to Mrs.
Bragg to have made remarks dercga-
tory to the Latin race. The minister
declares he has nothing to say on the
subject as yet. 1t is believed to be al
together probable, however, that Que
soda will take steps to ascertain wheth-
er or not Bragg made use of the words
attributed to him, with view, if true,
of bringing them to the attention OF
the government.

chances for the championship honors
are considered exceedingly bright.
Abram Poole, Jr., Onwentsia, with 80,
H. Chandler Egan, EXmoor, 80; Walter
Egan, Lake Geneva, "a; Allan Hib-
bard, Milwaukee, SO, were looked upon
as formidable competitors; neverthe-
less close followers of the game are
firm in their belief that Travis will re-
tain the honors. His playing yester-
day was machine-like. His medal
score of 70 was golf that was almost
fiawless. One popularity about the
play was the tying at "a of thirteen
men for the last two places on the
qualifying list. The tie for the gold
medal given for the lowest qualifying
score will be played off by Travis and
Ormiston at their convenience, prob
ably before Saturday. There were 1872
starters in yesterdays list.

appropriate time for his withdrawal
His retirement was practically ar
ranged at an audience of Lord Sails

coincident with his majesty's corona

with these plans and compelled Lord
Salisbury to wait till his majesty was
sufficiently recovered to attend to state

premier's physical condition, especially

been satisfactory. That loss seemed

Mr.. Balfours accession is not expected
to make much difference, neither Mr..

Although Lord Salisbury's resigna-
ton does not necessarily involve the
reconstruction of the cabinet, it is be-
lieved there will be some changes. 1t
is not considered unlikely that some
