ty. By securing this property Mr..
Yerington has installed himself in one

IT EkRICHES A QUAKER IN
A FEW MONTHS.
Story Of a Stock Deal in the
Tonopah Mines.

John w. Woodside, the wealthy and
estimable Quaker who at the turning
point in deal By which the great
Mizpah and Valley View lodges at
Tonopah, New, were acquired by him
self and Philadelphia associates, is
in Salt Lake, where, with companions
he is being agreeably entertained by
w. P. O'Meara, P. H. Lannon and
others. Mr.. Woodside had never heard
of the new camp that was to enrich
him until he was invited by o. A.
Turner. another Philadelphia, who
knew something of the Attributes of
a bonanza, to shell out $4,000 as the
initial payment on a deal involving
$336,OO0 that had been accepted by
the latter and John F Anderson. He
was ready to take chance, however,
the draft was acknowledged and the
cream at the perod of a region that
was to astonish The mining wori',
passed into their control.
How the interests were allotted be-
tween the lucky triOdese is another

The TRAVELLING PUbLlC IS
INCONVENIENCE.
Accommodations Are not What
They Should Be.

Some time ago the Appeal called
attention to the fact that the travel
ing public is suffering great incon-
venience by the fact that there is
no sleeper left in Reno for them, and
that they have to take chances on
securing berth when travelling in
either direction.
A few nights ago lady left this
city for San Frncisco, and upon arriv
ing In Reno she was told that the
train was seven hours late. A bed
tons left for the porter to call her.
This part of the program was over
looked and the lady had to remain
in Reno until the following evening.
This is only one of hundred COM
plants that can be heard.
There is no denying the fact that
in the past year. and the accomoda-
tons are worse than for years. For
many years a sleeping car was sent
to this city and was well patronized
The same should be done at this time
and the public would not be compell
ed to put up with the great annoyance
and Inconvenience that now con
fronts them. The complaint does not
come alone from this city, but Com
stockers also have the same griev
ance. while the travel over the. C. 6
c. R. R. has to put up with the same
tune.
Mr. Prentice, who is doing all h.
can for the company and Nevada, ha,
better take a hand in this matter
and see that the travelling public re
ceives better treatment from the com
pany he represents. About one nigh
in Reno or any other town, when
man don't want to waste the time an
expense, is enough to try the pat
ence of the traveller. and his opinio
of the company is not elevated t
any great degree.

THERE WILL BE NO RAIL
ROAD STRIKE.
So Says Grand Master Nor.
rlssey

Grand Master p. H. MOrrissey, of the
Railway Trainmen, has issued the fol-
lowing official statement from the
Chicago headquarters:
The different stories that are aris-
ing, pertaining to a movement on the
part of the conductors and trainmen
in the western country for raist Of
wages, are in the main inaccurate and
misleading. They probably grow out
of the fact that an association of the
general committee Of the order of
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen for this
territory. was formed in June at Kan
| sas City, at which time the question
OF increase of pay for men in train
| and yard service was discussed II
is the general belief among the men
in these capacities that on account OF
the vastly changed conditions now as
compared to those in existence at the
time the present wage standard was
made, they are entitled to some ad
ditional compensation, they are now
considering the propriety of asking
for it. But if anything is done through
these organizations in this direction
it will be along orderly lines.
A dispatch from Cedar Rapids, 10
wa says:
: E. E. Clark, Grand Chief of the Or
der OF Railway Conductors. confirm:
/ the statement that employees of al
roads in the west will make a united
: demand for increased wages. He
, however, declared the present talk o
a wide spread strike to be unwarran

How a Lucky Find Develops.

Not long ago II certain merchant in

an examination and discovered dirty
$50 bill rolled up in Il much more dirty
rag. He did what he could to find the
owner without success and finally came
to consider the bill as his own. Hav-
ing need of mileage one day he pur-
chased one with the bill. Then shortly
after a friend wanted 10 hire the book
and then another friend and another
until the book was all gone. Then he
bought another one and it went in the
same way. Soon the profits had
amounted to enough for the nrice of Il
second book and the two were kept
moving. Then a third followed and so
on until when the owner reckoned up,
the other day, he found that he had
SIdH tied up in mileage books. The
profits OF the business amount 10 some
thing like 81 per day now and the
whole thing has grown from $50 bin
