PROPOSITION
Western PaCifiC's Progress
With the Work of the LO-
cation Survey

Surveys for the Western Pacific
railroad are nearing comp. elton. Ter
are at present thirty surveying par
ties in the field between this city and
Salt Lake. BY next week the surveys
across Nevada will be completed ana
Utah will be covered in short time.
surveyors are already working west
from Salt Lake to meet those who Will
cross the Nevada state line and pusA
eastward. There are no difficult g ades
CIR railroad problems in Utah, so the
completion of the surveys may be
looked for in the early winter.
Chief Engineer c. S. Rogers is on
an inspection trip over the line OF
the surveys in Nevada. His reports
have been very satisfactory.
For some distance along the Hum
boldt river the route will parallel the
contemplated cutoff of the Southern
Pacific. 1t will pass about four mi. es
north of Battle Mountain. on the
Southern Pacific, and from there push
east through Palisade canyon. A
corps of Western Pacific surveyors is
now in camp at Gerald, which is near
the Utah boundary line. The sur
veyors are endeavoring to selec
most feasible route through the can
yon. The only problem in Utah will
be the trestle across the southern arm
of the great Salt Lake, which is in
contemplation. If it is not a too diff
cult and expensive piece of railroad
ing, owing to the sandy bottom of the
lake, the southern arm will be bridged
in the manner that the Southern Pa
cific is building a forty-mie trestle
across the northern arm.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

CONVICTS ARE
GENTLEMANLY
Did Not Commit Some of the
Acts of Violence Attributed
To Them

From private letter received in
this city, says the Carson Appeal. il
appears that the convicts who visited
the Ruffner ranch in upper Hope VAL
ley, some weeks ago, did not commit
any acts of violence, and did not take
anything that was not given freely.
The men came to the ranch about
l o'clock at night and awakened the
family. The people in the house were
told who were at the door before they
opened up, and one of the eonvicts
stated that they were hungry and
wanted something to eat Mrs. Ruff
ner got up and cooked the meal which
the men devoured ravenously. Then
on entering placed their guns in one
corner OF the room and openly stated
that they were tired out from loss
OF sleep and climbing over the rough
country.
They were exceedingly free in talk
ing of their break for liberty They
told OF the harsh treatment they had
received at the prison, and hoped to
get out of the country. They were all
sore footed and the people in the
house gave them what they could
spare in the way of clothing and
shoes. They did not offer to take
anything that was not freely given
The men spent the best part of the
night in the house and only left with
the approach of day.
The Ruffners state in the letter that
the men acted far more gentlemen!y
tran have a number OF campers who
have transgressed on their lands. They
stated that they were not murderers
but since they were out and at liberty
they would protect their freedom even
If they had to do so at the end of their
guns. They emphatically denied that
their intention to murder or rob any
one; all they wanted was enough to
live on and If they could make their
wap out of the country, they would
concerned, they were not hunting the
men or making any complaint of the
treatment received by them; on the
contrary, they were satisfied to let the
men fight their way with the off,
GERS who were in pursuit.
Another instance can be cited in
this to the effect that the men are
not any worse than lot of others.
AS Miller and Murphy left this city
on the highway for Reno, they passed
Professor Mitchells home. His little
boy was playing in front of the place
when the men passed. One of them
dug down into his pocket and gave
the little tad all the small change he
had. These men may be escaped con-
vets, and are as bad as the average
man confined in a prison, but they
are Just as human as the average man
who reads this.

One Hundred Dollars Per Egg

The supreme court of North Caro-
lima has affirmed lower courts award
of $500 TO Henry F. Seawell for be-
ing struck by fifteen bad eggs while
on the premises of the Seaboard Air
Line railway company during the 1900
campaign. Mr.. Seawell was then a
candidate for attorney general and
was attacked by his audience while
trying to talk from the train at Shell
by.-Exchange.
Eggs are pretty high in Nevada,
but when it comes to getting $500
assessed as compensation for the work
of fifteen eggs, and those all bad,
North Carolina's got us skinned.
Doubtless this was as much as any
of Mr.. Seawell's talks netted him,
however, so he ought not to kick.

to do the act If they want to have
a new institution on the grounds they
have the chance. Just what the new
deal is, is hard to say, as the gentle
man writing states that it is to be

needs one the very worst way. there
is no doubt but that the very common
name of old Kit Carson will be drop

the also considerable longer

slip by, it might be we'll to hand the

FOSSIL BEDS IN IDAHO.
University Of CALIFORNIA; Expedft,on
Meets with Great Success In
That state.

Prof. John c. Merriam, Of the Uni.
versity of California, has returned
from the recently discovered fossil
beds in Idaho, from which he and his
assistants dug ancient remains that
will materially help science in clear
ing up some Of the mysteries con-
corning the appearance and habits
OF prehistoric animals, says San
Francisco report. The exact results
of the expedition are yet to be
known, however, as the fossils are
still inclosed in their matrices of rock
and need to be chiseled out and
classified by the scientists.
The expedition first spent ten days
unearthing specimens at Soda
Springs, Idaho, and left them at
Wood Canyon, near the railroad, for
transportation to the university. The
specimens are all ammonites, taken
from the lower triassic strata Of the
fossil beds. The party then visited
Paris, where a number of fragments
were found. At Evanston, Wyo.,
however, the most important results
were obtained, consisting of the
bones and vertebrae of a number Of
reptilian monsters and animals.
These latter are particularly valu-
able, as they are expected to demon
strate the evolution of the ichthyo-
saurus from the rhyncocephalus, .
fshlike reptile.
