Under New Management.

This morning the Ormsby house,
one Of the best known hotels in
this State viii change hands, Mr.
Keyser retiring and Mr.. Allen assunl-
ing charge. Mr.. Allen has purchased
the property ard expects to make ma
ny improvements. The first will be
a general overhauling and renOyating.
while new furniture has been arriv-
ing fer the past week or ten days.
His idea is to place the Ormsby on a
footing with the best hotels of the
State and win back its former pope
iarity by the changes and service rem
dered the public.
There is no doubt but that the
Ormsby, under new management Will
march up the line Of prosperity and
that Mr. Allen and family will be re
garded as our best citizens.

WCrk has cost, on an average, about
so per foot, making the aggregate
expenditure something more than ST.
100000. The excessive cost per foot
is accounted for in the fact that trans

MINING

Mining is about all the news that
S heard on the streets. Rumors of

terday deal was entered into by the
POGO TEMPO people and Mr. Trainer,
whereby the latter has a short option
on the property. The mill has been

Mr.. Briggs and his associates will
probably receive fancy price for the
property, as they have a we'll devel-
oped mine and plenty of ore to fur
nish their mill. This kind of proper
ty is not to be found every day and
the owners are not begging the ex-
perts and other people to help them
along.
Mr.. Livingston, the California mine
promoter, who has an option on the
Gardnerville smelter. was also a Car
son visitor yesterday. He was in this

A BIG ACCOMMODATION.
TIE Trip to the Bay Now One of
Pleasure.

Even a railroad can be accommodate ;
ing, as is shown by the action Of the
Southern Pacific at the present time. !
The placing of the local train on the
road between Reno and San Francisco
is certainly the greatest concession
and accommodation the company has
ever granted the people Of Nevada.
The old story of waiting for de-
layed train has passed. The passen-
ger travels to Reno and inside Of an
hour is moving along the road to-
ward the Pacific The train is well
equipped with a day coach, baggage
car and sleeper. When more cars
are needed they are added. The tire
some wait that usually accompanies
trip to the coast is done away with.
The local trains leave Reno at 1850 p.
M, and land the traveller in San Fran
cisco at o'clock the following morn
ing. 1t is possible to transact bust
ness and return the following day, as
one is sure of reaching there on time
While accommodations are being
mentioned it might be well to compare
the present treatment that the travel
ing public receives in the Reno depot
today what was handed out under
the Phillips reign. Every body remem-
bers how difficult it was to receive an
answer to a question or an accommo,
dation of any kind under the old
hands At the present time there is a
decided change. The agent in charge
is a gentleman and any question asked
will receive a decent answer and any
information asked receives reply
that covers the ground in every de
tail. The new agent makes the ira
yelling public feel friendly with the
road and with the people who run it
1t is such radical change from thai
of former years that it is hard to be
lieve. A trip to San Francisco car
now be made without taking prayer
