The TOnOpah Railroad.

c. S. Lemon, the capitalist and en-
gineer of the rapidly developing Ton
opah Railroad project, has returned
to this city, duly armed with a char
ter and rights of way granted by the
state OF Nevada. Moreover, the
actual surveys of the route have been
made, the surprising results of which
are decidedly interesting. Its initial
point is at the l43d mile post on the
Carson and Colordo, about one mile
from Rhodes. The distance to term
inal in Tonopah is 81 miles. No grade
exceeds two per per cent and nc
curvature is more than four degrees.
We're all construction material at
hand, a mile of the road can be laid
every day. With reasonable allow
ance for delays in the landing of con-
struction supplies, the tracks should
reach Tonopah in ninety days.
1t appears now to be understood
that the Southern Pacific will put
down q third rail on the Carson and
Colorado from Mound House to
Rhodes, and the Tonopah road will
be equally equipped to bear rolling
stock of both gauges. Rails are be-
ing landed at the southern end to fill
in the l00-mile gap on the G, and c.
between Keller and Molave, but it
is asserted that that road below the
Tonopah junction will remain mar
row gauge

What Is Needed.

A. ]. Condor, of the brokerage firm
of A. ]. Condor g. Co., who has just
returted from a trip to San Fran
cisco, upon being interviewed by a
BONANZA reporter, has the following
to say in regard to the future of To-
nopan: San Francisco people are now
taking an active interest in Tonopah
and there are number of parties
wishing to secure property and
claims in this district, who have
money to invest. There is very little
sale for Tonopah stocks on the Pa
cific Coast, and from what I can
learn this is due to the fact that the
Tonopah companies are not listed on
the San Francisco exchanges II
some good companies would list their
stock on San Francisco exchanges
ain sure it would create demand for
Tonopah stocks, as all prospective
investors have the one fault to find,
that there is no market for Tonopah
stocks, and therefore they hesitate
in buying stocks, on which they are
unable to realize should they care
to sell. 1t would need no advertis.
ing to create a stock boom in Sar
Francisco; as the people who specu
late in stocks and mines are as wei
posted on Tonopah as they are or
the Comstock.

Crystal Water Go.

The community should not fail to
appreciate the prompt, painstaking
manner in which the management of
the Crystal Water Co. met the diff
culties caused by the recent period
of blizzard weather. The freezing
of u number of water pipes on Main
street was the cause of inconveni-
ence to several business houses and
some of the private residences on
the heights, but only for few days.
George H. Lewis, the able treasurer
and manager of the company, at
once put to work full force Of
workmen, and with no thought of
the heavy expense to be incurred in
the work, dug up every frozen pipe,
substituted new faucets and fixings
for all those that were injured by
the frosts, the severest that have
been experienced in Nevada during
the past ten years, and, within ten
days from the termination of the
blizzard, turned on full and unin-
terrupted supply of the crystal fluid
so essential to the comfort of the in
habitants of Thnopah. Mr.. Lewis,
unlike the water magnates of Reno
and other towns in the state, did not
wait on the theory of "the public be
id" until warmer weather
should gradually thaw out the frozen
pipes, but with characteristic clear
medicines and energy at once ap-
piled himself to relieve the patrons
of his company from the inconveni-
ence so unexpected caused by the
severity of the weather.

Same Of the most important work
Ia progress AT the great mines Of the
Tonopah company is at the big

long time everything has been for
the great machinery The 100
h. p. air compressor has been at the
shaft for some weeks, and companion
l50.h. p. gas engine, together
with structural material for the
great steel gallows frame and steel
building is actually in transit at last
Drifts are being driven both ways
from the 500-level of this shaft on the
Mizpah, and crosscut has been
started at the new 700 sta tion which
will intersect the Mizpah at the 600
Some of the richest ore ever extrac-
ted from the mine is now being broken
out from under the old Oddie lease.
Drifting continues on the Valley
View ledge, the ore yield from the
$40 level carrying very high values.
The Desert Queen shaft is being
used by the Tonopah Develop
ment company in the rapid exploita
ton of their ground, pending a com
plete equipment of the Belmont shaft.
The latter is solidly timbered to its
present depth of 240 feet, and a A
b. p. hoist is being installed. At the
6l4-foot point in the Queen shaft the
crosscut into the Silver State prop
erty opens out a twenty-four foot
ledge of ore of high values.
New York TonOpah.
Extending vertically down the New
York Tonopah shaft, at the present
depth of $40 feet, is very distinct
vein carrying ledge matter with
lunches and stringers of quartz,
which, anywhere else, would be con-
sidered satisfactory as to values.
Certificates of assays made by one OF
the most reliable offices in Tonopah
show the ore to contain: Silver, 3O
ounces; gold, $24 20; and another 90
ounces of silver and $2l. 60 gold per
ton. This is evidence conclusive that
the metal is there and at that depth,
but the main developments of the
property is expected to be shown by
the cross-cut which has been started
from the 800 level. This will be ex.
tended southeasterly and in good
time northwesterly also, for the en-.
tire length of the claim. 1t will be
remembered that this principal prop
erty of the company is so located and
situated that it covers the trend OF
all the east and west lodges of the
southern section of the Tonopah and
the Tonopah Development company
groups, which are well calculated tc
pass through the mineral.bearing
zone lying between Mount Butler ant
Mount Brougher, as will be noted
the developments made in the New
York Tonopah have a very impor
tant bearing on the several proper.
ties operating between it and the
known outcrop. From its situation
and the showing already made it is
the opinion of some of the best min
ers in the camp, that the New York
Tonopab will soon be classed with the
best of ore mines.

Milling Himself.
Because Doonisios Romacious, a re-
cent addition from Italy to the Greek
colony of Savannah, was insulted by a
friend some days ago, and could not
get satisfaction, he decided to right his
grievance in Chinese fashion, and tried
to do so yesterday afternoon. He did
not use a sword. however, but substi-
tuted Rough on Rats" The dose was
pretty rough on the Greek. 1t took
prominent physician three hours to
undo Doonisios' doing.
D. Romacious arrived in the city
three months ago from the Southern
part of Italy. He engaged in the fish
business with relatives shortly after
arriving. Becoming dissatisfied, he left
Savannah for Macon and
remained there month. re-
turning short while ago.
Several days ago an intimate friend of
his insulted him in a heated discussion.
He has been remorseful and blue ever
since. and failing to settle the differ
ence or to secure an apology, he decided
to right his wrong in n way unusual in
his race.
Going to a drug store he bought a
box of Rough on Rats" for the oS-
tensible purpose of killing rodents. Re-
turning to his room mixed two tea
spoonfuls in a glass of water and,
thoroughly dissolving the powder,
drank the potion. Not wishing to die
alone he walked out of his room on
Jefferson and Bryan street to a, lodging
house, No. 218 Bryan street, west,
few steps away, where many of his
friends lived. There he assembled to
the second floor where the sleeping
apartments are located and walked in
to the room of friend. The poison
had begun to take effect and his friend
noticed the peculiar contortion of his
features on his entrance. Before, how
ever, he could ask for an explanation

a few seconds later was doubled up in

He was finally brought around all

A numerous of the treatment
of the unfortunate man was told by
a Greek youth last night, owing to the
unfamiliarity with antidote. The
youth saw the patient given the eggs
to envelope the poison and prevent it's
action and probably noticing the eggs
were not the best the market affords
because they were secured hurriedly,
misconstrued their mission. He after
wards explained that bad eggs had
been administered to nauseate the pa

TO WHISTLE THE COMMANDS
This VIII be a Feature of the Battle
Exercises.

At a meeting of the company Off
GERS of the First Infantry which was
participated in by many of the field
and staff held at the armory last night,
plans were made for the battle eXer-
cises of the regiment on Feb. %. and
instruction had in extended order,
which will form an important part in
the exercises. $751;
A feature of the exercises which will
be new to many of the men, will be
the whistle signals, prescribed for the
use of the officers in the extended or
der. The signals will be used in much
the same manner that. the bugle is
used by the cavalry it being a diff
cult matter to understand the COM
mands given on the field of the en-
gagement, if attempted with the voice,
because of the noise of the conflict and
the distances between the troops.
While the battle exercises will be a
sham affair, the noise made by the
combatants will be none the less loud
Orders are being sent out to-day to all
officers of the regiment, ipstructing
them to provide themselves with
whistle of suitable force with which to
memOrize the signals, which are set
and those who are liable to be placed
in command are required to learn tf1e
signals, since they are supposed to
communicate the command to the COM
panies in the usual manner.
