NAIL ROUTE SCANDALS
IN EASTERN NEVADA.
Utah and Nevada Express Company
in Trouble.

Utah and Nevada Express Company
in Trouble.
The methods of the Utah g. Nevada
Express Company, which now holds
the contracts on all mail routes in
White Pine county is being investi-
gated by the Post Office Department.
Complaint has followed complaint to
the Department setting forth that the
practice of sub-letting contracts in this
region has injured the service and that
by reason of the pooling of receipts on
the different routes running into Ely
and the division of the money by the
Joint Accounting Agent here, the sub
contractors have been unable to pay
their operating expenses, and several
people who have furnished feed and
cared for the stage horses along the
lines are unable to collect their bills.
The fact set forth in the complaints
are supported by afidavits and properly
attested copies of the contracts under
which the lines have been operated by
second and third parties, showing
that the same were sub let in violation
of the ruling of the Department and
the letter of the original contracts of
the Utah & Nevada Express Company,
are now in the hands of the Second AS
sistant Postmaster General.
1t is further alleged that postmasters
have been bribed with stock of the Ne
vada and Utah Express Company, On
which they have been drawing divi.
dends, and an investigation is demand.
ed. Whether or not the charges can be
proven remains to be seen, but it is
quite probable a Special Agent will
% be in the county to inquire into
the matters.
Indeed, it is ever stated that a letter
written by an official of the Utah and
Nevada Express Company, under date
of February 20, 1902, explaining how
certain persons had been taken care of,
has been preserved, and strange as it
may seem, the stock book Of the COM
pany is said to tally with the letter.
The communication is a confidential
and friendly one, and as such its con-
tents should be regarded as sacred, but
if it is submitted to the Postofice De-
partment The Review will publish the
document in fun.-White Pine Miner.

WESTERN PACIFIC WORK.
Two Gangs of Surveyors at Work in
Nevada.

Another indication of the sincerity of
the promoters of the Western Pacific
is the fact that two parties Of survey
ors are now in Nevada. The engineers
are working toward each other and run
ming a preliminary survey of the route
of the proposed road. One of these
parties started from Salt Lake City
several weeks ago., but so quietly were
there preparations made at this end
that it was not until after the engineers
had started that the fact Of their pres
ence became known. This fact alone is
taken as a good indication of the honest
intentions of the promoters of the enter
prise. Had the start been made with a
hlare Of trumpets less faith would
have been put into their work. Every
movemement made by the promoters of
the Western Pacific has been done in
the same way. Not a scrap of informa-
ton can be gained of its movements
until after something is done. Surveys
had been commenced before it became
known that there was any intention of
building such a road. Corporation
papers were placed on file, and the act
had to become public property before
anything vas known of the intention
to incorporate, and, in fact, everything
done by the corporation has come to
the knowledge of the public after the
work has commenced. This is what
makes the project appear like a certain
ty. The identity of the real promoters
of the enterprise has never been learn
ed. Until something definite is known
to the contrary the impression will CON-
tinue that George j. Gould's master
hand is the power behind the project.

VETERINARIANS

dows = Gov. Sparks Interviewed.

Reports from various counties ii
California confirm the dispatches pub
lished in the Nevada papers OF the
breaking put Of q disease variously dla-
gnosed as anthrax and Texas fever
among the cattle in Sacramento, Siski-
you and Inyo counties in California and
also among the herds on the Truckee
Meadows. In Siskiyou county fully 30
per cent of one herd of $50 animals has
died. DIR. Blemer, State veterinarian.
has returned from that locality, where
everything possible was done to quaran-
tine the animals and prevent the disease
spreading. He will go to Inyo county
to investigate reported depletion of
the herds of cattle and horses by anthrax
in that section. A telephone message
from CORTLAND to the Sacramento
Union, Aug. 25, reported the people of
that district greatly agitated by the APP
p~earance there of a fatal disease among
the horses and cattle, supposed to be
anthrax. Prof. Ward of the State Uni
versity and DIR. McCallum, County Vet
erinarian, will investigate at once. 1t
is stated that forty or fifty cattle have
succumbed to the disease in the neigh
borhood of CORTLAND, and its appear
ance among the herds neal Franklin is
confirmed by later report.
Governor Sparks of Nevada, who
was interviewed by the Reno Jour
nal regarding the cattle disease on the
Truckee Meadows and the best method
of handling the matter, favors vaccina-
ton to prevent the appearance of the
disease among Nevada herds. The
Governor said: II have used Pasteur

animal this season. That was a range

wishes to try it the instruments neces-
sary for the operation. Personally 1
intend to go through my herd at once.
Ten days later 1 will vaccinate again.
Changing pa sture seems to have q bene-
fetal effect and stops the ravages of the
disease" The Governor also called at
tention to the law passed last Winter
compelling the burning of the carcasses
of animals suspected of having died of
anthrax and burying them six feet I'M

may not be anthrax, the law should be
complied with as though it were, for
the general good of all.

WILL TUNNEL SIERRAS.
Southern Pacific Will Run Trains
Through the Mountains.

Wal
Through the Mountains.
Forty-five miles of new track includ.
ing a tunnel through the crest Of the
Sierra Nevadas, is among the improve
ments to be made ON the Southern Pa.
cifc in the near future, according to
information given out at Union Pacific
headquarters at Omaha. The new track
and tunnel will cost between s., 900, 900
and 81, 900. 900, and will reduce the max
imum grade over the mountains to 65
feet, and also eliminate 40 miles of snow
sheds, which are now necessary on the
old line. The work will reduce the
highest point on the line by 500 feet.
No distance will be saved by these
improvements; in fact the line will be a
trifle longer than the present one, but
the increased distance will be much
more than made up by the decrease of
the grade and the elimination of the
sheds. which have always been a source
of much trouble.
Engineers of both the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific have gone over
the plans, and one sent out from
the East by e. H. Hartman has
just completed an inspection of
them, making favorable reports. Har-
riman has ordered the proper officials to
undertake the work.

WELL KNOWN NEvADlN STRICKEN
At HIS RANCH.

One of the Largest Cattle Raisers
i'm the West, and an Active Poll
tician-End Came Suddenly.
The news Of the sudden death Of
Hon. Abner Coburn Cleveland at his
ranch in White Pine County on Sunday
last was received in Eureka Monday.
Never in the history of Eureka has the
death of an old resident been met with
so many general expressions of regret
and esteem for the sterling qualities
of manhood which characterized the
life of Mr.. Cleveland.
His death was entirely unexpected,
and has been a distinct shock and ire
trievable loss, both to his immediate
friends and the State at large.
Mrs. Cleveland, who has been spend
ing the Summer in San Francisco, was
telegraphed to from Ely,and by securing
a special train over the E. g. p. railroad,
and relays between Eureka and Ely,
arrived there Wednesday, where the
embalmed body, in charge Of nearby
friends, had preceded her, to await in
terment in the Ely cemetery.
The funeral took place from the resi-.
dence of w. N. McGill, Thursday, and
was largely attended by sorrowing
friends from White Pine County and
vicinity.
