Something About the Largest Engine in the World

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
placed an order with the American Lo-
connective company for tandem COM
pound locomotive that will be, when
completed, the heaviest ever beEits in this
country. 1t is known as the Mallet Ar
ticulated type, and modified examples
are being used abroad to some extent,
none, however, being of the tremendous
size of the B. & o. engine.
The cut shows peculiar arrangement
of the drivers and cylinders The for
ward cylinder is the high pressure, while
the rear one is the low pressure, and
the great power of the engine is appar-
ent when it is noticed that the entire
weight of the locomotive, 1885, 900 pounds,
is on the. drivers.
The locomotive is being built as an ex-
pertinent, and will be used as a helping
engine on some one of the heavy noun
tain grades to demonstrate its usefulness
in this class of service. 1t is hoped
that it will be completed in time to give
it thorough road test before sending it
to the st. Louis Worlds fair.
The dimensions of the locomotive, as
given below, are compared with the II
class of locomotive now in use and the
heaviest in use on the B. & o. in regu-
lar freight service.

WILL OPEN NEW COUNTRY.
Senator Clark's New Road Runs
Through a Rich Mineral Belt

Through a Rich Mineral Belt
Those most directly interested in the
construction of the San Pedro. Los An
geles & Salt Lake road assert that its
completion viii open for DEVELOPMENT
a very rich mineral field in Nevada,
which has heretofore lain almost wholly
neglected. Contracts are to be let this
week for building section of the road
between Daggett and Calientes. The
original intention had been to delay
building this section and use the Santa
Fe tracks by arrangement, but the re-
port of the men who INSPECTED the
country and found good mineral indi-
cations along the projected route be-
tween these points probably determined
Clark to build at once and develop that
section on his own account.
+. +. Frisbie, a prominent mining ex-
pert, who was one of the discoveries of
Cripple Creek has just completed
two months inspection trip of the land
along the Clark line. He was accom-
panied by K. r. Casper, of Salt Lake,
and they drove from Calientes, New, to
Marvel in California, taking a number
of side trips to explore mineral sections
on both sides of the survey Their re-
pert was that good mineral indications
existed along the route, across southern
Nevada, and particularly from Calientes
west. The land has been prospected but
litt1a.
The experts found surface showings
of gold, silver, copper and lead on both
sides of the route in the Crescent dis
trict which will be developed when the
new road is in operation through it.
At Vegas Valley. in the center of the
mineral district Senator Clark owns a
large ranch where he contemplates
building a famous resort for invalids.
There are warm springs on the ranch
and the. climate rivals that of Colo
radios dry attitudes. Clark is said to
have selected Vegas Valley to be the
most important point on the line be-
tween California and Salt Lake.
IT is said large hotel will be built
which Clark intends to be one of the
finest In the west. Railroad shops will
also probably be erected there as there
is Dlelty of water. which is a scarcity
in other sections of Nevada. Vegas
Valley In time may become a thriving
town. At Good Springs, which is near
the California line in Nevada, there are
mineral possibilities to be developed by
the new road. Trains are expected to
run over the completed portion between
Los Angeles and Riverside in a short
time.

THE OLD HAND ORGAN.

The old hand organ in the street
Has not the gaudy gold and gilt
The new ones have-but, oh, the sweet
Old tunes it plays with limping Tilt!
The Harp That Once Through Tara's
Halls"
Jim Crow and annie Laurie" too
And, answering its bugle calls,
The old times rise for me and you.
Then You'll Remember Me-" it plays
And straight our memories go back
Through all the dead years mellow haze
With frequent pause along the track.
And then we see the grass-grown streets
The orchards cleaning in the sun,
Where grooming bees seek out the sweets
And shadows Ger the grasses run.
We see the fash of merry eyes;
We see the CLEAN of old time smiles;
And, ere the old-time music dies,
We live again the old-time whites.
We walk the pathway in the lane,
And day-dream as we used to then,
For on the ripping old refrain
The old times come to life again.
Play! Old hand organ in the street!
Play every song we used to sing,
And let our hearts in cadence beat
With each glad memory they bring.
Play, in your hating, careless way,
The fine old tunes that softly tell
OF every God-made happy day
In those old times we love so well.
