RAILS FOR SALT LAKE ROUTE.
More of Them to Arrive-PrOspects
For Construction.

The Salt Lake Herald of Wednesday
says: Rails for the Salt Lake route
have been arriving during the week
and are being forwarded to the points
on the line where they will be needed.
AT Calientes quite a stock is being held
ready for use by the Empire Construc-
ton Company as 500 as the work be-
gins in Nevada.
Officials of the road hope to begin
the work not later than September 1,
although nothing definite is yet set
tied. Bids for the grading are to be in
by the end of the present week. 1t is
estimated that it will be two weeks
more before the bids can be tabulated
and the contracts let and signed. Then
it will take some time for the ~contrac-
tors to mass their men, material, teams
and machinery. AS the weather is
extremely hot in southern Nevada at
this season, it may be considered the
best policy to wait until early in Sep
TENDER before starting the work but, as
soon as it is begun, it will be pushed
with all possible speed.

KEYSTONE GROUP
In Eureka County Sold to Chicago
Capitalists.
Salt Lake Tribune, July ~.

Salt Lake Tribune, July ~.
With the first payment on the Key
stone group of mines, near Cortez in
Eureka county, Nevada, just placed to
the credit of the vendors, Peter Porter,
representing wealthy Chicago syndi-
cate. by which the properties are being
purchased, came in from the West yes
terday. Before leaving camp he organ
lied his forces for systematic work and
with the developments outlined by him
accomplished has no doubt that the
Keystone will take its position among
the most active of Nevada's producers.
In the main ledge, a contact between
the limestone and granite, he has opened
up a large body of copper-bearing ore,
some of which rises to sensational per.
centages, while a ledge between the
porphyry and limestone runs well up in
silver and lead, with some copper and
gold.
The development of the properties
will continue under the experienced
direction of Mr., Porter, and that he
will accomplish all for which he has
started those who know his methods
are prepared to believe. While Mr..
Porter would not release the figures
required to dislodge the Nevada group,
it is known that they are quite we'll up
in the tens of thousands, as over the
proposition there has been a great deal
of rivalry.

FLORENCE man
AN INVENTOR
Receives Patent on Excavat-
ing and Ditching Machine.
After Ten Years of Hard Study
and Work the Machine is
Completed So Far AS
Plans Go.

The accompanying cut Is splendid
likeness of James p, Gordon. inventor
and property owner of this city. Mr..
Gordon was born in Venange county,
Pennsylvania in 1888. and is therefore
but small boy he movsd TO Illinois
where they resided for number Of
years. He came to Colorado some
years ago on account of the asthma
otherwise he enjoys splendid health,
Mr.. Gordon owns. besides the Rock
Island hotel property in this city, con-
Siderable suburban property in
Denver. He has perfected number of
PATENTS in his day and time, one of
which was Gordon's Double Water
Packer for shutting off salt water in
oil wells in Pennsylvania Another
patent perfected by him was Oh a
washing machine for power laundry
which will be granted in few days.
The latest invention. however, is an
excavating and ditching machine.
The object of the invention is to
improve the construction of excavat-
ing or ditohing machines and to pro.
vide simple, inexpensive aud eff
cient machine of this character, de-
signed for operating on land aud capa.
BILE of operating wherever it il possi-
BILE to drive vehicle. A further
object of the invention is to provide
an excavating machine adopted to dig
wide or narrow, deep or shallow
bitches, trenches, and the like, and
capable of dischsrging the excavated
earth into wagon or cart at one
side of the ditch. Another object of
the invention is to enable the ditch
ing machine TO operate by stationary
engine located at a point beyond the
place operated and to provide a COM
bined draft aud hosting rope or cable
for propelling the machine and for

crane which carries receptacle for
the excavated earth and which is
operated by said shaft. whereby,
when the shovel is swung upward,
the crane swings inward to receive
the contents of the scoop and then
the scoop is swung downward and the
crane outward to discharse its load.
1t would be impossible to discribe
perfectly this wonderful piece of mec-
hanlsm in small paper, therefore
only brief outline of the invention
is given.
Mr.. Gordon has been working on
this invention for more than ten years
and it is at last completed. He now
wants to build trial machine but it
taks money to do it. He wants some
man or men who knows a good thing
when be sees it to help him with "a
trial machine-to furnish the money
for its completion. To such a person
he will make splendid offer and no
doubt but someone in this locality
will come to his aid.
He wants to get the machine built
and tested at once 30 that he can
make demonstration before the great
irrigation convention at Ogden on
Sept. 10.

mounted ON an elongated axle, which
may be of any desiraed length, and
when necessary axles of different
lengths may be employed and the
rear axle is provided at intervals with
perforations and is arranged between
parallel uprights, disposed in pairs
at the rear of the frame and located at
opposite sides thereof. By device
the rear of the frame may be raised
or lowered and may be adjusted later

While in action the machine moves
forward as the shovel or scoop cats

over the ground again until the nee

enable the shovel to operate at an

The Explanation.


The Portland Oregonian explains
why the great West is Republican in
this undisputable argument
"The spirit of the West is young
and progressive. 1t naturally sym
pathizes with the policy of expansion
sustained by the Republican party in
the Philippines, but also with the
strenuous temperament of Presi-
dent Roosevelt 1t likes him none the
less because he is Rough Rider and
a sportsman. 1t likes him because it
believes that Roosevelt obtained his
best life disci pine when he was a
ranchman and a rough rider, wheth-
er in peace or war. 1t likes him very
much as the West liked Andrew Jack
son. The great popularity of Mr.
Blaine at the West was due to the
fact that he was more of a Western
born and bred man than he was New
England man. He was born and bred
in western Pennsylvania, spent his
early manhood in Kentucky, had
lived in Ohio, and did not go to New
England until he was % years old.
Blaine had the Western manner and
methods in political and social life
rather than the New England ways,
and the West took to him naturally,
even as they take to Roosevelt,
despite his New York birth. The
West, therefore is solid for the Re-
publican party for two reasons-it
likes its principles and it loves its
man"
Republican principles are priced not
less in the steady going East than in
the growing and breezy West. The
man is popular here too; in fact
there is agreement of these sections
in regard to both. They are pretty
nearly solid in the maintenance OF
Republican principles and the sup
port of Republican leaders who firm
ly hold to the principles, no matter
which section they hail from. The
South which has been solid the other
way, shows signs Of wearying of the
Democratic leadership it has had in
recent years. Some of the border
states have already joined their po
litical fortunes with those of the
Republicans. There is hope that
some of the others will follow theil
example. The Republican party
with its splendid record in the past
is the party of the future. 1t stand;
by its principles and honors its
worthy leaders.
