Railroad Business.

Representatives of the San Fran
cisco Terminal Railway and Ferry
company and the Stockton and Beck
with Pass Railway company have ac-
quired a freight terminal in San
Francisco. at a cost of 81 900, 900,
which will provide greater facilities
than either the Santa Fe or the
Southern Pacific controls. The new
territory is located in the Potrero,
just north of Islais creek, and com
prises between sixty and seventy full
blocks, obtaining more than seventy
six acres. The greater part Of this
property is submerged by the tides
and it will require an expenditure of
g., 900, 600 to improve it, but the pro
jectors of the enterprise are ready
to proceed with the work. 1t is the
general belief in railroad circles that
George Gould is furnishing the fnan-
cial backing, and that the new road
will form the the western connection
of his system, which now extends to

pie Justice should have it. Five
eiXths, if not moe, OF the entire pop.
ulation Of Nye is in the new camp,
while BeImonts glory has faded until
now not over 1870 people live there,
Every reasonable argument favors
the removal Despite this, and the
fact also thata bill providing for re-
moval passed the Nevada assembly.
Bell, the state senator from Nye,
has proved himself equal to the task
Of defeating the general wish, by
downing the bill in the senate, so far
rs reports show, Bell has a ranch
somewhere near Belmont, and is gov.
erned by that reason. We hope to
see the Tonopah people win out yet.

A LONE MOUNTAIN NINE,
BIG Pay in Lone Mountain--An
Old District ON Top.

ContempOraneous with the flush
times Of Silver Peak and in the later
days Of Candelaria, there was consld
cradle prospecting carried on in
Lone Mountain district The ore
was there in plenty, but of such
character as the conditions prevail
ing rendered it almost worthless
The Selby works had started up and
were blowing out base bullion bars
galore, but there was no means of
getting ore to them in those days
Lynch * O Meara S mine, now at
tracing attention of the mining
world on account Of the fact that its
ores are rich enough TO pay for ship
ment to and reduction by the Salt
Lake smelters, is located on the
north side of Lone Mountain, which
forms a noted land mark of wide
section of country. The property is
twenty-four miles from Tonopah and
thirty two miles from Candelaria, the
point on the Carson and Colorado to
which the ore is shipped In this
section of the district the ores are
found in stratiied limestone. The
surface indications are slight iron
stains and ore has been found in
every opening made SO far within
three feet of the surface. There APP
pears two deposits, one of which in
cIines only about forty i've degrees.
The owners have made four openings,
one of which is now sixty feet in
depth.
The ore has lead base, running
from nothing up to forty per cent,
but is mainly chloride, carrying
from three to four hundred ounces in
silver per ton, with about So in gold
value. Its character as soft or 'wet
ore renders it of special value to the
SmeIters as a fux when reduced with
more siicous ores.
The principal ledge or deposit
ranges in width up to TWEEN ty four
inches, having an average of sixteen
inches Some chambers have been
found five feet in thickness. The out
put is about 20, 900 sacks per month,
netting the lucky Tonopah opera
tors the sum of 500 600. Twelve
miners are employed.
The camp is within two miles of
the pinyon forest which supplies To.
nopah with fuel, Water is piped
into the camp from a spring located
in the granite watershed,
Even without the presence some
where in this region of great re-
duction works capable of handling
anything, from free-milling to smelt-
ing, the Alpine property is essen
italy poor mans mine, for the
reason that the ore has only to be
broken out and the ore buyers will
do the rest.

A General Change.

New regulations, or rather a
change in freight tariffs, by the Car
son and Colorado railroad will have
the effect to transfer all the freight
ing teams from the Candelaria road
to that between here and Sodaville.
In the first instance freight was
hauled to Candelaria on account of
the existence there Of a freight
house in which perishable goods
could be stored while awaiting the
teams. Now that the same accom-
modations have been supplied at
Soda, the railroad is saved the heavy
haul up to Candelaria, and which it
will not now do without additional
freight charges up to 81 per ton.
The Mclean & McSweeny teams and
in fact all others will therefore be on
the Sodaville road within a few days.

Marrow Escape from Death.


Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of
the Boer war. There was exhibited
some time ago In the museum of the
Royal United Service Institution one
of Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes,
in the lid of which is still deeply i'm
bedded a Mauser bullet. To that
same collection there has Just been
added An even more remarkable relic
This is a silver cigarette-holder case,
which was struck by bullet at a
distance Of 1900 yards while 1t was
in the pocket Of a captain of the i'm
perial yeomanry. The curious part
about 1t is that the oficer was not
aware until afterward that he had
been struck. although the bullet also
pierced the sovereign purse and Gig
arctic case which he was carrying in
the same pocket.

Animals and Alcohol.

M. Grobaut, professor of physiology
in Paris, in describing the effect of
alcohol upon animals. says that the
successive stages of intoxication
through which they pass are gaiety,
sadness, solemnity and a supreme In

bits are very curious when under the
influence of liquor. and drunken
kangaroo is brutally aggressive.
