OMESTEA
TUNNEL BURNS
A Loss of at Least Forty
thousand Dollars Viii Be
the Result

A special dispatch to the Reno Ca
zette from Virginia City states that
the Homestead tunnel on the Vir-
ginia and Truekee railroad in Gold
Hill was entirely destroyed by fire
yesterday morning. Loss $4,000. 1t
will be two months before trains can
again be run into Virginia City.
At five O'Clock in the morning as a
woman living near the divide was
preparing breakfast she discovered
that the Homestead tunnel was On
fire. She Immediately rang in an
alarm and the Diyile fire company re
sponded to the call. 1t vas soon evil
lent that this company would not be
able to stop the blaze and the Cold
Hill and Virginia fire companies were
summoned.
Notwithstanding the hard work Of
three fire companies the blaze con-
tinued to spread and the tunnel was
soon a mass of charred ruins. 4-e
local was still in Virginia City when
the fire was discovered and its pass
age was blocked. An engine and car
was sent from Carson and the pas
sengers had to walk past the smoid-
ering ruins in order to board the tram
for Reno and Carson.
The nye hundred feet of earth II

was unable to stand without support
ana several caves occurred. No cas-
ualties occurred during the ~condagra-
ton. but the DlaZe proved a hard Il
10 night and was not under contrO.
until d late hour yesterday. The tunnel
is an entire loss as hardly a foot OF
timberIng remained.
The nremen were unable to enter
the tunnel, as the ground is OF sott
formation ana I'VE L~curred through
out its entire length. Inc fire is like
~ TO burn Tor a couple OF days a.
both ENDS of the tunnel are blocker.
No one was injured. The smoke is
now escaping through the ground OIL
the hillside, and the door of gas is
almost s~unocating. The railroad com
pany has not yet decided whether to
rebuild the tunnel or make a cut as
Superintendent YeTington is in San
Francisco.
1t will be at least two months be-
fore the tunnel can be repaired, ana
in the meantime, the trafhc Will have
to be conveyed past the fire by means
OF buses and dTays.

Stickin~ the Grocer

A man with hieh hat enters a gro
Gerry. He is smooth and suave He bets
the grocer that the high hat will hold
five gallons of molasses. The grocer
knows better and the bet is made. The
molasses is poured into the hat, which
runs over b"fore the five gallons are ex-
hausted. The man is mad because he
loses. He quarrels with the delighted
grocer and presently in an excess of rage
claps the hat on the grocer's head and
pulls it down. Then he coolly cleans out
the money drawer and HES away; the
grocer meanwhile wildly struggling to
relieve himself from HIS sticky ex-
tinguisher.
This is the neat little game that has
been successfully played on an eastern
tradesman, and grocers with molasses
to waste and with tills to tap are
warned to look out for it.

The Lapse of
Alta Gay . .
By PERCY CHAMBERLAIN
ccopyriEht, 1905. by Daily Story Pub. Co..

4 LIZA GAY had married after the
~ manner of her set, which is to say
that Ii had all been arranged for her by
the most competent, far-seeing and vigil
liant of mammas. She had made good
match-everybody in the smart set said
so, and surely there are no others who
are such expert judges Of good matches
as the smart set. Her husband, Philip
Dennison, was the scion OF one of the
very oldest families and his wealth re-
Quired seven or eight figures to express.
Moreover he had qualities that seldom
go with great wealth and an irreproach-
able lineage-he was able, ambitious and
Industrious. His monetary independ-
ence had not paralyzed his mind and
spirit. and he had won proud position
at the bar and in the world OF business
and politics. He had attained en- envia-
BILE reputation as man and a citizen be-
fore he had met Alta Gay and fallen in
love with her.
To be sure he was IL or Is years her
senior, but what of that? He was in the
very prime Of his manhood and a gentle
man of whom any woman might be proud.
There was always a whispered sugges-
ton among certain envious contempt
raries of Mamma Gay that Dennison had
not discovered he was in love with the
golden-haired daughter without certain
Initiative on the part of mamma, but this
may be laid to a considerable extent to
pure envy, for Dennison surely was
great catch.
But. alas for the perversity OF woman
kind. Despite all the advantages of the
union Alta found herself far from happy.
Not that Philip was not the kindest and
