FREIGHT RATES
TO BE ADVANCED

The freight rate committee of the
trans-continental railroads Is In session
at Monterrey, CAL, and the belief is
general that an advance in rates on all
classes OF goods will be made.
Hartman, Stubbs, J. J. Hill, Ripley,
President Mellen of the Northern Pa
cific, and the Gould interests are repre-
scented rs favorlng some kind OF an
advance In rates for two REASONS. One
Is said to he the great increase in the
cost OF all kinds of railroad supplies.
The increase Is said to range from 20 to
200 per cont.
The other reason is the ad vance in
the wages requested BY and granted 10
the employees OF all the roads. Mem.
bers 0fthe committee assert that when
they have finished with demands oil
their workmen the annual payroll OF
the Atchison aud Southern Pacific will
have been Increased 1868, 900 and 81, 900,

ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
DANES Krohms Succeeds In MAX
ine Good His Escape.

James Krohms, who has been held
here for the past three months on the
charge OF selling whiskey to the In
dams, and whose case Is now before
the u S. Court at Carson, succeeded
in making good his escape from the
Jail last Friday night, since which time
nothing has been learned OF his where
abouts.
1t Is not known what time he made
his escape, but IL is presumed To be
sometime after midnight, and was not
discovered until Saturday morning by
Sheriff Newman.
During the first month OF his impris-
onment he was each night put In the
cell and locked up for the night by
Sheriff Newman. He complained so
much of suffering from the cold, and as
he had always shown peaceful dispo-
sition, the Sheriff allowed him to re.
main in the large jail room, whore tho
stove is situated. Here Krohms has
spent the past two months, and, al
though tie same means OF escape were
always at hand, he never before had
made an attempt. Both the windows
In this room are heavily barred, and til }
door is made OF iron strips, Tx in.
about in. apart, with cross bars OF the
same dimensions riyeted crosswise
With pieces OF small stove wood and
piece OF 2 X 4, taken from the box
around the stove-and possibly some
outside sistance-Krohms succeed in
forcing tho upper part of the iron door
far enough apart to get a pry on 1t and
then In bending 1t over sufficiently TO
allow his body to pass through the op-
ening. Once inside the outer room, the
rest was easy. BY pulling the nails
which fastened down the common win
dow. it was but step to freedom. He
took the precaution, however, OF sup.
plying himself with all the edlab6s to
be had.
The ground had frozen during the
night, and not track could be seen
leading from the window. 1t was there
fore impossible to tell In what direction
the escape went, and, although Sh'riif
Newman and two Indian trailers, made
circutous ride OF the neighboring
ranches and surrounding country, no
trace OF Krohms could be found. He
has thus far succeeded in escaping cap
ture and keeping his whereabouts un-
| known.

A Washington dispatch states that a
large tract OF Nevada lands have been
withdrawn from settlement for irrlga-

terror Department Is not overlooking
the Sagebrush State.
A corps OF engineers took the field
this morning to survey line from To-
nopah to Eureka, thence through
White Pine county, to connect with
the Oregon Short Line somewhere In
Lincoln county. That there Is some
thing doing in railroad circles of inter-
est to the people OF this State is quite
apparent, says the Reno Gazette OF the
18th.
II. NJ. Elliott, who has spent the past
year here acting In the capacity of pay
master for the Pilot Knob mines, and
under whose supervision $50, 900 was
spent in development work upon the

he will spend few months vacation
before undertaking the management OF
large lumber mill at Bloomington,
Indiana, the latter position being ten
dered him before his departure.
At the Ruth developments are max
ing rapid progress, the cutting out OF
the station and two drifts on the 300
level, having been accomplished, the
main shaft is now dropping down in a
good grade OF copper ore, at the pace
OF six feet day. limo further obstacles
occur the 400 level will be reached by
the last OF the month, when something
good In the way OF ore can reasonably
be anticipated.

MUST NOT MUZZLE PRESS

A decision OF unusual interest to
newspapers, and of almost equal inter
est to the public, has just been handed
down by the Texas Court of Grimm a
Appeals In II criminal proceeding in
Houston the district judge ordered "a
paper of that city not to publish any
| reports of the testimony presented. He
based this unprecedented order on the
theory that there might be a miss-trIaI
and the publication of the testimon v
would, in such an event. make it ex-
tremely difficult TO secure another jury
In spite of the injunction, the paper
published full reports OF the trial. The
editor of the paper and the court re-
porter were promptly jailed for con-
tempt of court. After short impris-
onment they were released on writs of
habeas corpus, and the case was aP-
pealed to the court of criminal appeals
In order to ascertain the status of Texas
newspapers with regard to crimi a "a
trials
The court reverses the district jud ge
no district Judge has any right to pre-
vent the publication of testimony w h ic n
is given in open court. That is, any
thing that is tit for spectators to hSzA T
is fit for the public to read. The prin-
ciple is thoroughly sound one. Und er

| the newspapers, will be protected.

NEW TEL EPHONE LINE.
Wells and Cherry Creek to be
Connec ted.

The Herald is most reliably inform.
ed that telephone line to Cherry
Creek Is now assured. A local stock
company, composed of re idents OF
Wells and Clover Valley, will furnish
the money to build an1 properly equip
the line.
Starting from Wells, the line will run
through the entire length of Glover
valley and thence to Cherry Creek, a
distance of about 100 miles. It is
roughly estimated that 1t will cost In
the neighborhood OF $1,000 to build
and equip the line In frst-class shape
The regular standard size wire and
good, substantial poles only will be
used in its construction. A large pro-
portion OF the poles can be obtained In
the vicinity of Sprucemont. The work
will be commenced just as soon as the
weather will permit, and will be rushed
to completion as rapidly as possible. 1t
will not be many months before Wells,
Clover Valley and Cherry Creek can
pass the time OF day over modern tel
ephone line.
Later on the company will probably
extend the line to Ely. The Ely
people are said 10 desire IT, giving as a
reason that the service via Eureka is
very unsatisfactory.
This line will be great con venience
to the reeidents of Clover Valley and
Cherry Creek, and there is hardly
doubt that it will return liberal divi-
dends to the stock holders. Wells Her

ABOUT OLD WHITE PINE.
What the Pacific Coast Miner
Says About Hamilton.

From almost every part OF Nevada
at the present time, we hear OF activity
and the reopening OF old, previously
abandoned mines. 1t is true that very
few OF these have arrived at the divi-
dend stage as yet; but the prospects in
many cases are encouraging. Little or
no attention has yet been paid to the
old White Pine district, although here
the Rocco -Homestake has been one OF
the few dividend paying mines of that
State during the last few years, says
the Pacific Coast Miner.
There has been great change In the
cities flor formerly one was justified in
calling them cities) OF White Pine
county. Hamilton and Treasure City,
each of which had over 10, 600 popula.
tion. with fire departments, banks, ex-
press offices and larges torres. are now
practically deserted. There is no mon
ey in either place to bank, nor any.
thing to express. The mines are shut
down and the population has drifted
away. Yet there are residents there,
who have held on In spite OF every
thing, hoping for some resurrection oil
the camp. Without capital themselves
they have been unable to do much
more than hog their claims They
hvae been unable to interest outside
capital. Their faith, however, re-
mains supreme; nor does 1t seem unlike
ly that camp which has such bonan-
zas, and In which the surface has been
barely scratched, should again produce
large quantities OF the rich ore which
made shat place famous, and caused
the wild rushes of 1868 and 1869. II we
heard today OF locality which pro-
duced sl, $50, 900 from $50 tons OF ore,
many OF those who are now invading
Alaska and Tonopah would be turned
that way, even II it werc known at the
time that there was no more ore in
sight This pocket was not the only
one or the richest found. Ore, doubt
less stolen from the mine, commanded
ready sale at s5 per pound. OF
course In those days silver was 81. 30
per ounce; but even at the low price
now obtaining, the rich chlorides would
bring higher price than the gold d-sil-
YER ores OF Tonopah.
Then again there are other resources
which were not developed in the early
days. Base ores In what is known as
the Base range were not marketable at
that time, nor could they be treated on
the spot. The veins, while,eompara-
lively small as far as developed, carry
high-grade lead and copper ores, con-
tanning silver to considerable value,
with no gold, however
With the present activity in mining,
1t would seem a pity that mining re-
gion with the record and historical in-
terest that White Pine possesses, should
hc entirely neglected. Ne believe,
however, that this district will not al
ways remain idle as 1t is today, and
that some enterprising miners will
again attempt TO work some OF its pros.
poets, AS we'll as TO search for continu.
ations OF previously worked bonanzas

Sweeping Dec Against Sheep
Men.

A dispatch from San Francisco says
sheep men OF seven States and two Ter
ritories were affected By decision
handed down last week by Judge Haw-
ley, sitting on the bench OF the United
States Court OF Appeals. In effect it
perpetually enjoins them from pastur-
ing fiocks on the forest reserves. The
decision is final. BY its provisions no
sheep can be pastured on reserves with
out permission Of the Commissioner OF
the General Land Office and approved
by the Secretary of the Interior.

A SENSIBLE PETITION

Don u stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name off yet:
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars hard to get.
But tug little harder
Is what | want to do,
And scrape the dimes toget her
Enough for me and you.
I can't afford to drop it;
| find it doesn't pay
To be without paper,
However others may.
| hate To ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan;
They don't say, but just mean it,
Why don't you get your own?
You can't tell how we miss it,
II 1t BY any fate
Should happen not to reach us,
Or come little late;
Then all is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry,
And printer, II you'll re married,
You know the reason why.
| cannot do without it,
1t is no use to try;
For other people take it,
And printer, so must |.
|, too, must keep me posted,
And see what's going on;
Or feel and be accounted,
A foggy simpleton.
Then take 1t, kindly printer,
II pay is somewhat slow;
For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know.
But | must have my paper,
Cost what it may to me;
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And be without my tea.
So, printer, don't you stop it,
Unless you want my frown;
For here's the years subscription,
And credit it right down.
And send me the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let it bring us weekly
Its welcome benison.
