RAILROAD TO PIOcHE.
Clark is Investigating the Mat
ter.

The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad by its president, Sena-
tor Clark. is strongly contemplating
the construction of twenty eight mile
branch from Galleries TO Phoebe, ac-
cording to the Salt Lake Telegram, to
tap the great ore producing region in
the vicinity of this point
VIM McDermott, at the head of
Senator Clark corps of mining engi-
neers, completed an exhaustive report
of the entire Phoebe district and pre-
sented it In full TO Senator Clark, while
the latter was in Salt Lake.
The report. as was officially stated, is
a very favorable one.
The matter has been under consider
alton for some time, but there was a
question in Senator Clark's mind as to
whether or not the quantity OF ore be-
ing produced, or that it is possible to
produce, In the Phoebe district is SUI
ficient to justify the building OF the
road,
In order to satisfy himself on this
point he instructed Engineer MeDer-
mott to examine the entire district and
show in exact figures what the tonnsge
would be p DIVIDING the road is built.
The report in detail with maps at
tached was handed Senator Clark. 1t
was voluminous in the extreme and
several days will be required for Sen
ator Clark to go through it. This, he
said before leaving, he intends TO do
Immediately and will be able within 10
days to say whether or not the branch
will be built.
The grade out OF CalieHtes for the
proposed road is virtually completed
1t was built in 1889 by the Union Pa
cifc Company and has been waiting for
ties and rails ever since. A few fills
and bridges will have to be built, but
the amount of work of this character
that will be required is comparatively
small

Sutro Tunnel Statistics.

CORES pondent Is informed that
ground was broken for the excavation
OF the Comstock Sutro tunnel on Oeto-
Der 10, 1861, and on July 8, 1873, Adolf
phi Sutro crawled through the con-
nection made with the Savage shaft on
that date-the first man to pass thro'
that opening. Sutro was the first to
introd uce power drills in Nevada, and
made 300 feet month progress for
over two years. When the face of the
tunnel was nearing the Comstock lode
the temperature averaged ia degrees,
and the men employed could rot work
three hours out of eight hour shifts.
From the mouth Of the tunnel to its
connection with the Savage shaft on
the 1740 foot level the distance is 20,
4S9 feet and the north and south lateral
branches have combined length of
II, S26 feet.

A Thousand Wives Wanted.

Go West, young woman, if you are
dissatisfied with your present estate
and long for prosperity and husband.
A thousand wives are wanted in Kan
sas, not by one man, for the morals as
we'll as the finances of the Sunnower
State do not admit of setting up the
family altar with the prodigality OF
Solomon. No, but there are at least
one thousand young farmers who want
wives and offer to hire them as SER
wants and marry them II they come up
to the specifications laid down. This
is not joke nor wild idea OF some
philanthropist. 1t Is the advertisement
of the Kansas State Free Employment
Bureau, an institution which has had
a brief but successful career, say the
Philadelphia Inquirer.

NEVADA AND IRRIGATION.

F. n. Newell, chief by drographer OF
the Geological Survey, who is in charge
of the irrigation work undertaken in
Nevada, states that within twenty five
years Nevada will have population of
500, 900. Inasmueh as the state has at
present less than 40, 900 inhabitants, the
expert in irrigation predicts wonderful
development for the State.
Nevada is rich in resources, but handi.
capped by bad laws and poor manage
ment which have retarded her devel-
opment When the State was ad limited
to the Union 1t was permitted to select
its two million acres of school lands in
stead OF being limited to particular
sections under the general law. The
lands selected contained the springs
and water courses OF the State, and
these were virtually turned over to the
great cattle companies. Settlers going
into Nevada found rich land, but DO
available water for irrigation, although
water was there. IL properly distribu-
led, sufficient fe. all the States needs.
The result YVES that the settler was
orced to move on, and Nevada, the
.icbe,s In resources Of the intermoun-
ain States, has made no perceptible
d yancement in twenty-five years.
Now, however. 1t is evident that
as err. is open for the battle born
tate. Mr.. Newell bases his predic-
ons upon The practicability OF the
,stem Of irrigation for Nevada at
|. sent in course of construction, which
,mpleted will p'rce thousands o. acres

Turned a Car Loose

Yesterday morning the yard crew
of the V. & T. company placed a car
OF lumber at the c. & c. mine. and
after setting the brakes and putting
rocks under the wheels. came up to
the depot. but they had been there
only a few moments when crash
was heard on the Union trestle-work.
. Some one had started the car down
IL le grade. and when it ran over the
tn estle the forward trucks went of
the rail and swung the car across the
trao k, throwing the load of planks
of. The railroad men have a good
idea who the miscreant is, but SO far
no ole has been found who saw him
actually start the car.-Enterprise.

lion and Gold Crown mines, all sit
uated in Humboldt county, Nevada,
says the last issue of the Pacific Coast
Miner. This was one of those guar
anteed dividend-paying properties,
which has never lived up to its prom
ises, and the report issued by Mr..
w H. Baldwin who appears to have
been the fiscal agent of the company
and the one to whom shareholders
looked for returns, seems to place the
responsibility entirely on the presi-
dent of the company. .Chas. H. Nickel
vey, a lawyer of Los Angeles.
Any mining man reading the for
ner advertisements of the company
would know that their claims were
impossible and that the profits could
not be earned which the officers claim
ii would be. One of the statements
made was Lnat mo salaries Of any
kind and no commissions to attaches"
would be paid. AS any intelligent man
would know at the present time, no
mining men will work for no salaries,
and should likewise recognize that
when a man offers to do so he is not
likely to be competent
We are afraid that many companies
will follow in the footsteps of this
and that their books when balanced
will show as little results, and their
shareholders NAV saw with Mr. w
H. Baldwin, that bankers, merchants,
ministers, doctors. statesmen and 9TH
ers were fooled" Mr. Baldwin is Of
fering a present of stock in the Sun
set Copper Mining company, which
we believe has recently been acquired
By him, in lieu of shares in the Cal
ifornia- Nevada, and it is to be hoped
that this alternative interest will
prove more profitable than the prior
one.

TOaOpah Ore MilIed

The Kinkead mill at Buffers wells
this week made a sample run of five
tons OF ore from the claims of the
Gold Mountain company at Gold
mountain, and from the figures fur
nished by Secretary Runge the test
was satisfactory in every sense. The
total amount of ore furnished was five
tons and a battery sample of it gave
returns of $62 per ton. The total
amount of gold plated was thirteen
ounces, and the concentrates saved
weighed $50 pounds and are valued at
$500 per ton. 1t is estimated that In
both amalgam and concentrates 80 per
cent of the values OF the ore were
saved
The result OF this run gives great
to the company. as it
has thousands of tons of ore on hand
that needs only mill treatment to,
make it give up its values.-Toncpah

be the defending vessel In any case
she has crossed the finish line ahead,
