Hundreds are Employed.

Joe Coats, who has had charge Of
the cooking for the canal work that
has been going on west Of Wadsworta
was among the visitors to Reno Sal
urday says the Journal. Mr.. Coats
says that the work of building the can
al is being pressed with all the vigor
that men and teams can command.
There are three camps that employ
in the neighborhood of 500 men and
they are all engaged in running tunnels
at the present time. 1t is not thought
that the work will be discontinued at
all this winter and that by the opening
Of the spring much valuable work will
be accomplished.
When the canal will have been con-
structed it will be one Of the great.
ests benefits ever given to Nevada by
the Government since the State was
enrolled in lue union.

The Right Ring.
Secretary

For some time rich ore has been
found in the calm known as the False
Alarm, situated in the Voltaire dis
trict, but in the sorting Of the ore a
red quartz has been thrown over the
dump. A few days ago sample Of
this rock was taken to an assayer in
this city who astonished the owners
by giving them return Of nearly $500
per ton on the rock that was consider
ed valreless With the new find it is
likely that the boys up that way will
commence operations anew and there
is a likelihood of uncovering one OF
the richest mines in the State in that
section There is more ore scattered
over the Voltaire section than any
mining district that is undeveloped in
this State. Ore asaying from few dol
lars into the hundreds can be found in
the form of float all over the hills
yet no one has ever managed to un
cover a ledge that has proven a mine
proper There is a mine in the big hill
and it can't be very far away from the
lodges that have been exposed by the
work shown.

Another Fire.

Two f1re alarms were sounded this
morning. The first, at O'Clock, was
caused by the smoldering embers in
the V. & T. Homestead tunnel sud
denly bursting into flames on the Gold
Hill end. Before the balze was exiting
uished four sets Of new timbers were
partially burned
The men employed in that end of
the tunnel had quit work only few
minutes before and the suddenness
with which the flames burst forth is at
tributed to an explosion of gas. There
lacks only about twenty feet in length
of debris to clear away to get daylight
through the tunnel, but the fire this
morning will somewhat impede the
work Of clearing away the debris and
installing timber sets as the smoke
and heat from this mornings fire re.
suited in a temporary suspension of
work at both ends.
The second alarm about 1890 a. m
was caused by fire in the Flannery
residence on the Divide, which was
extinguished before serious damage
resulted. AS the latter fire was confin
ed to the space between the studdina
and walls it evidently originated from
sparks from a defective stove pipe lods
ing there.-Report.

Horrible Pictures.

The New York Journal that arrived
yesterday contained many pictures, re-
produced photographs, of the terrible
fire at the IriQuois fire in Chicago. The
pictures convey a better idea of the
terrors Of the fire and it's results than
does all the descriptive matter that
has yet been written on the awful sub
ject. The forms of women and child
rem can be seen where they were over
come by the fire and the fumes OF the
escaping gases. One picture shows a
dozen little folks huddled in a heap
and dead; others picture the people
who are looking for loved ones that
are among the dead. The mass Of
humanity that is huddled into the
enclosure of the theatre is a sight that
is anything but pleasing to the peo.
pie who look at it.

Something Of a Move.

The best evidence Of a move in the
building way has been demonstrated at
the new bank building. 1t was only
about three months ago that the old
ramshackle building stood on the cor
ner and today one tenant, the News,
is occupying the premises. The bank
room is rapidly assuming business pro
portions and il is likely that the new
concern will be ready for occupancy
inside Of the month. This is the first
building that was ever hurried to such
an extent in this city which has opened
the eyes of many. 1t has always be IN
the belief that building was out of the
question during the winter months, but
the present object lesson shows that
| Nevada weather is suitable for al
purposes at all seasons Of the year.

EXPLANATION MADE.
Tonopah Company Offers Statement
of Future Plans.
OFFICE OF
THE TONOPAH MINING COMPANY,

THE TONOPAH MINING COMPANY,
Philadelphia, Dec. 81, 1903.
To The Stockholders:
The Board of Directors desires to
inform the stockholders that arrange
ments have just been completed fJr
the construction of a railroad from the
nearest available point on the lines
OF the Southern Pacific Company near
Rhodes to Tonopah, a distance Of so
miles, and orders have been issued jr
its immediate construction, which It
is expected will be in operation within
five months.
This action has been taken after the
development Of the company's mints
to an extent to justly the assumption
of the responsibilities necessary to its
construction.
There is large accumulation Of
of grade not sufficiently high to bear
the present cost of transportation by
wagon and the present charges for
freight and treatment and arrange
ments and contracts have been made
for the transportation and smelling, to
take effect when the railroads Gomez
ton is established, which will enable
the company to realize upon these
ores AS soon as the Tonopah railroad
is completed, ores Of values which can
will be more advanteougs1y milled will
ed by the company for such q purpose
be treated at location already procur.
The company has been mining and
shipping to the extent to which wagon
transportation can be obtained, ores
OF grade sufficiently high to bear
the present charges, and will continue
to do SO as teams are obtainable, but
as there are now over $4,000 feet OF
underground work and over 100000
tons of ore upon the dumps Of the com
pany and measurable in its workings
in anticipation of the completion Of
the railroad whereby great reducti y
over present cost Of work Is assured
atemporary suspension of development
work has been put mo effect The iii
rectors are Of the opinion that the de
velopment of the company's mines Il
sufficiently in advance Of the require
ments for shipping upon completion o
the railroad to justify the Temporal,
stoppage OF that class OF work.
