The first significant step in the build
ing OF the new transcontinental line
across Nevada by the Western Pacific,
Of which there has been SO many rumors
the past year, was taken last Monday
when a carload Of 8 inch pipe consigned
to the Western Pacific Railroad com
pany was unloaded at the Humboldt
House says the Journal.
This pipe is o being moved by team
to the proposed line of that company. and
passes about fifteen miles to the north
of the Humboldt House.
The pipe will be used in sinking wells
to ascertain if the surveyed route has
the necessary water to make it prac-
ticable.
Fhe utmost secrecy has been main
tanned regarding the project, even the
route being practically unknown, de-
spite the presence in the field Of a party
OF Surveyors for upwards OF a year. All
that is definitely known is that the OF
~jective point is the famous. Beckwith
Pass IS miles north OF Reno. which is
the only natural pass over the Sierras'

Busy Days for Mine Owners.

Owners Of unpatented mining claims
are busy. either personally or by proxy,
10 performing the annual holding work
on their location in all of the districts OF
this county and very few fo%rfeitures OF
title will occur this year through failure
to comply with the United States min
ing statutes. The activity in that line
is due in a great measure to the eager
ness of capitalists to invest 10 mining
property where development work has
demonstrated the presence of large bodies
OF ore too low in grade to be haad led
profitable on a small scale.

Survey Accepted.

A short time ago the NEvADAN pub
lished an article taken from one of our
exchanges, outlining the route of the
proposed Western Pacific railroad
through this section. That the exchange
knew whereof it was speaking, is shown
by an article in the Ogden Standard Of
last Tuesday, which says that the sur
veys have been accepted, and giving
precisely the same route as outlined in
the article. The Standard also says
that it is very probable that Wells will
be made a terminal, or division point, on
the new road.

IN ST LOUIS
The Depositors In the Savings Banks
Started ! Big Run Yesterday
Afternoon.
They Were Headed of This Morning
by the Thirty and Sixty-D Day
Clauses.

St Louis. Oct g. On account of the
run Of te savings banks yesterday after
noon long before the hour Of opening
today lines of depositors stretched away
from the closed doors Of the Mississippi
Valley Trust Co, the Lincoln Trust Co,
and the Mercantile Trust Co., and the
Missouri Trust Co. Most of them were
working people and many were women.
Owing to the enforcement Of the thirty
and sixty day rule, the depositofs were
not able to get their money.
Vice President Meier of the Missouri

of depositors that all the banks and the

RUN ON THE ST. LOUIS BANKS
Safety Deposit Banks Have Strenuous Ses-
sion for Short Time.

St. Louis, Oct 28. From shortly be-
fore o'clock until the closing hour, 8
o'clock yesterday, runs were made in
the savings departments Of the banks
of St Louis, and at the same time more
than the ordinary amount of withdraw
ais by savings depositors were notice
able on the other banking institutions.
The runs so far as it can be determined
were started by disquieting rumor
from the outside that seemed to strike
st. Louis after noon to the effect that
the savings institutions here were un-
sound and like prairie FIRE it spread
III a flash through streets and different
mercantile establishments whose ems
'ployes represent the majority of the
savings depositors.
With srush the rooms of the Lincoln
Trust Co., Mercantile Trust Co. and
Mississippi Valley Trust Co were filled
with men and women all eager to with
draw their money The scene at one
bank was duplicated in the other two
Lines Of people with bank books in
their hands and faces eagerly scanning
the little barred windows Of the bank
Htellers, stretched into the street and
sinterminglcd were policemen and bank
officials counseling calmness and giving
assurances Of solyency
1t is stated that the runlor that start
ed the run came from Chicago and was
to the effect that two directors OF the
Mississippi Trust Co., had recently en-
deavored to negotiate a loan of $27,-
100000 in that city and had been re-
fused. This rumor was pronounced as
an absolute canard by the directors
concerned. AS soon as the run started
al lother business was laid. aside and
every facility was afforded for prompt
payment of deposits The clauses which
Igiye the bank the privilege of withhold
ing payment Until sixty days after no
stice were waived and the amounts were
paid regardless Of their size
There was no disorder manifested al
any Of the institutions and in many in
stances the depositors who had hurried
to Withdraw the amounts deposited, left
without their money, after having con-
sversed a few moments with officials
and had been made confident that the
bank would continue TO do business.
AT the Missouri Trust Co, number
sof depositors had collected oademand
payment but the crowd soong tfiinned
Out and before j o'clock the incipient
run had ceased. The presidents Of the
different national banks assembled dur
ing the afternoon and issued state
ment that the banks of ST. Louis are all
perfectly solvent and amply able to
liquidatc all demands.
The directors Of the different trust
gconipanies al meetings decided to en-
force the thirty and sixty-day i1otificas
stion clause tomorrow and this. il IS be-
iieved, will doubtless stop all tenden-
cy to 4 continuation 81 the runs.
