RAILROAD FOR TONOPAH.
surveyors in the Field at Both
Hnds- business Like Aspect.

MIR. ]. Irving Crowell, general
manager of the Los Angeles, Dag
gett & Tonopah Railroad, is in Tono-
pah. and simultaneously with a corps
Of engineers and surveyors at Dag
gett. has with his crew began the
work of setting stakes for line OF
railroad TO make connections as lndl-
Gated by the title OF his company.
Mr.. Crowel states that the pre-
liminary work of selecting the route
and the matter of investigating
every material point bearing upon
the business of the road, has been
carried on with the utmost diligence
for the past two years, and that the
plans and organization are now IN
such shape that the whole world
NAV know all that it wishes con.
corning the enterprise. The original
intent did not include Tonopah as
the northern terminus, but develop
ments here have proved to be a lode
stone that the capitalists at the
back of the great venture have de-
termed upon the extending the
tracks to this city rapidly as the
work can be done.
The distance to be covered is 30O
miles, the relative locations of Dag
get and Tonopah leaving the line to
run due north and south. The route
rounds the Calico mountain near
Copper City; extends to near base
of Pilot Knob in Kern county, Cali
fornia. Thence the route passes
Borax lake between the Slate and
Argus ranges in Inyo county; into
Panamint valley, crossing the north
ern base of Telescope peak through
Wild Rise canyon and Emigrant Gap.
Thence, coming up the northern arm
of Death Valley, the road will pass
Tule canyon into Aida Valley, about
ten miles east of Montezuma. There
are no heavy grades encountered
anywhere, the only engineering work
of any comparative difficulty being
comprised within the last forty miles
of the road at this end, when the
Tonopah elevation of $500 feet must
be attained.
The company bonds, to cover the
cost of grading and tracklaying,
have been taken by the California
and Nevada Construction Company
aud the manager announces that Oh
financial favor or subsidies of any
kind will be asked. In the sections
of Inyo, Esmeralda and Nye trav
ersed by the survey are situate
many of the largest bodies of min
eral- bearing ores on the Pacific
coast, and the business ''in sight il
more than ample even in the com
paratively undeveloped state of thu
county, to fully justify the construc
ton of the road.

THE SITUATION.

The gallant fight which Tonopah
has made for removal of the seat OF
Nye county is drawing to a close,
the last days of the legislative SEES
sion being at hand
The nature and character of the
opposition to this substantial ad-
vancement of Tonopah, which has
developed, is as surprising as it is
almost absolutely inexplicable. Why
any intelligent and fairminded legis-
lator of the state should desire to
handicap the business of the greatest
mining center in Nevada is beyond
comprehension. Paltry sentiment on
account of Belmont, an inaccessible
hamlet in the hills, does not account
for it. Time may clear away some
of this mystery, and the incident
will not be closed unless Tonopah
wins.
Our advices from the fighters at
the state capital are almost hourly
and 90 to prove the rule that it is
the unexpected which happens.

missed by the judge on the request Of
Mr. Campbell. Indian Inspector George

BROHNLOW STILL URGES
HIS GOOD ROADS BILL
Reintroduced at This Session of Con-
gress With Changes to Meet
Criticism.

Representative Brownlow of Tennes-
see reiatroduced in the House his good
rodas bul. Acting on the criticisms Of op-
ponents ana the suggestions of friends
Colonies BrownlC@F has revised the bin
somewhat, out all the important fea-
lures have been preserved. The new hin
appropriaates S24. OOO. 600. to be used as a
fund for national aid in the improve
ment of highways
This sum is made available during the
next three years at the rate of eight
millions annually. No State or subdf-
vision thereof can secure any part of
this fund without raising an amount
equal TO the share received. The dis
tributlon among the several States and
Territories is to be made on an eouita-
bic basis, so as to leave no room for
"log-r rolling" In reference to the bill
Colonel Brownlow said today:
II think my good roads measure has
made wonderful progress during the
past year. Conventions all over the
country have Endorsed it, and a num-
her of State Legislatures have adopted
resolutions in favor Of it. The number
of public men who have come out FOR il
has exceeded my highest expectations
In the West and South the sentiment
for the bill is especially strong. A large
number OF Senators and Repre-
sentatives from those sections have as
sured me of their willingness to sup
port the measure. and it wiz also have
some strong support from the Eastern
States. where State aid has paved the
way for national aid 1 can't see how
any man representing a rural constit-
ueney can vote for a river and harbdr
bin and refuse TO vote for my bill And
l don't see how anyone who wants the
rural free mail delivery extended in his
State or district can refuse to support
a measure to aid in improving the
roads, for bad roads are almost the sole
obstacle TO suc1. extensions L am
hopeful of getting the bll up for discus
ion in the Houe early in the regular
session.

Frank is a manly little fellow. who
gives peculiar reasons for leaving home.
The trouble was with the cook, ne

but has three children This woman
scolded Frank for his shortcomings, and
the father took the part of the cook.
In this way, the boy says, his home
life was unbearable.

MANUFACTURERS DENY
EXISTENCE Of TRUST
Cement Makers Say They Had No
Opportunity to Offer Bids on
Tonic Basin Dam.

: Cement manufacturers. especially
those in the West. are making things
warm around he Interior Department
because Of the decision OF the Govern
ment 10 make its own cement for the
Tonic basin irrigation dam IN Arizona.
The manufacturers will have a hearing
oefofe the Secretary tomorrow and urge
that they be given a chance to bid on
the cement for the s.. 1000. 900 undertaking.
The manufacturers Indignantly deny
there Is such thing as a cement trust.
and assert that they were never given
chance TO say at what figures they
could furnish the cement. They argue
that II the Government makes its own
cement there is no reason why II should
not make shoes for its soldiers and
powder for its rifles
An argument the dealers Will make
IS that the Republican party is pledged
TO the encouragement or home indus
tries, and il is manifestly inconsistent
for the Government to enter into com
petition with private persons in furnish
ing the cement The dealers say the
contention OF the engineers that s., SOC, 600
Of the 100000 allowed for the dam
will be necessary for the purchase Of
cement is wrong, and that a private
dealer could furnish the cement for
81, 100000 less.
