A HAY DEAL.
Agents of Russia Securing Nevada for
War Fodder

It is reported that during the past
week three agents of the Russian gov
eminent have been in Washoe county
buying all the hay they can get fer
shipment to Port Arthur.
The hay that was five dollars in the
stack is now quoted at fifteen a ton
They took all they could get along the
Truckee Meadows, paying in San Fran

ers sympathize with the Japs when
they are fighting Russia, but when
they are offered fifteen dollars per ton
for stack hay and no very close scrn-
tiny in measurement, they sink their
feelings of sympathy with the little
Japs long enough to close the deal.
The advancing price OF hay is alarm
ing the cattlemen and they are rush
ing to fill their shorts and if there is
shortage in hay, beef is liable to
respond to the touch of the hay mar

If the open winter continues it may
not be so bad, but a heavy snow fall
now will send stack hay to twenty dol

in the fearful winter of 1890.

a BIG SHUTDOWN.
Tonopah Company Closes Until Arr.
val Of Railroad.

Word reached this city yesterday
that the Tonopah Mining company of
Nevada, the big company of the great
camp, had closed down, pending the
opening of the railroad to that place.
1t is understood that the entire force
at the mine was let out Thursday night
and that no work is to be resumed in
the great mine until the railroad taps
the camp
The Salt Lake papers Of a few days
ago had a report to the effect that
the closing down was to take place,
but parties interested here were OF
a different opinion The working force
has been gradually cut down for the
past six weeks, until only enough men
were employed to keep the mine III
working order.
One party who recently returned
from the camp, in speaking of the
close-down, stated that the reason was
that the company had simply taken
the move as it cut off useless expense
while nothing was gained. The fact
that thousands of tons Of ore have
been blocked out ready for extraction,
and that it was useless to hoist it to
the surface, VISA what caused the
shutdown. The company has plenty OF
money in the treasury, and the fact
| that they have made a contract with
the new railroad people to move the
ores to the smelter, carries out the be
lief that the discharge of the men
was to curtail expenses until such a
time when profits would come from
moving Of the vast bodies of ore from
underground.
The shutdown comes at a bad tins
winter; times are quiet and many mer
chants and business men have every
thing at stake. Of course the assurance
of the railroad will warrant the hold
ing on of business and mining propert.
but every dollar that is taken away
from the business man and those who
are interested will go hard at this sea
son of the year In few weeks it i:
believed that the work on the railroad
will give employment to those who ar:
now idle, but as construction commenc
es at the lower end Of the line, it will
hardly benefit Tonopah at the presen
time When Tonopah weathers through
the winter, the camp will be in thu
best shape it has ever been and thos'
who can hold on to that time will
reap the harvest.

THE ROAD is NOW ASSURED.
Rails and Cars are Ordered and Bills


General Manager Kruttschnitt Of
the Southern Pacific company and Al
ONO Trip, general superintendent Of
the proposed new narrow gauge road
between Tonopah and Rhodes MARSH,
terday, and later the information was
given out that plans for building the
sixty miles of road had taken definite
shape and that construction work
would begin in few days. At yester-
days meeting the Southern Pacific
company agreed to furnish the neces-
sary steel rails: which will be deliver
ed at Sodaville by the company next
week. Representative of several con-
struction firms have already looked
over the ground and will bid upon the
grading work On January IL. General
Superintendent Trip also placed a
contract with Hammond & Co during
the day for fifteen combination gon.

immediate shipment from the East OF

which he has had an option for several
, months In discussing the new road
Trip said at the Palace Hotel yes
| terday:
The financiering of the new road
has been effected by the hackers in
Philadelphia, a fact which was con-
veyed to me by telegraph this morn
matters in shape for the inauguration
of the work. We expect to have the
first train operating between Rhode S
Marsh and Tonopah by June 1, and
the contractors will have to give a
$4,000 bond to complete their work
by that time. The Southern Pacific
officials have offered the Tonopah com
pany every possible aid in hurryine
the completion of the road and we are
not figuring on any further Difficult
ties"
Although Rhodes Marsh is mention
ed as the terminus Of the line, the
company has entered into a traffic al

A NEEDED LAW,

Vial utuICs
There is a peculiar law on the sta
ute books of Nevada, that of prevent

the Indian women or the Indians from
marrying into the white families.
This law was passed many yeas
ago, when it was intended to head off
fraud in land selection, script and or

fairs. The result was some men took
Indian women and lived with them.
Children were born and the appear

the forefathers and tribesmen.
The United States government recoy-

be educated to the understanding of
the white man and his laws. In order
to do this, schools have been institl-

is congregated, and the education is
without doubt doing good in every

PAYING A SHIPS DOCTOR.

There Is System at Sea Which Is Rare
1y Departed From
A correspondent Of 9 recent edition
Of Lloyd's Weekly has expressed the
views Of ship doctor in the follow
ing words: MANY travellers are in
doubt as to the position Of the ships
doctor in regard to his remuneration
from passengers for services rendered.
The merchant shipping act enacts that
every foreign-going vessel having 100
persons on board or upward shall car
ry on board as part of her complement
duly qualified medical practitioner.
Furthermore an emigrant ship. e.,
foreign-going vessel which carries 30
or more steerage passengers
have medical man irrespective of the
number Of crew or Of other passengers
carried. The salary of the doctor on
board Is commensurate with these du-
ties to his ship.
TO any passengers who are suffering
| from ordinary forms Of seasickness
and its concomitant evils or who re-
ceiVe injuries which are In any way
due to the ship the doctors services
are free. For any sickness contracted
Derore sailing or during a voyage
which Is not connected with the above
named conditions he Is entitled to
remuneration at the same rate as he
would receive on shore. Obviously II
would be as unfair to expect that his
services to passengers should be rem
dered gratis as it would be for any
visitor III hotel or traveller on a rail-
way to expect to have medical attend
ance free in any illness for which the
MOTEL or railway authorities could not
be held responsible.
The writer Of letter to the Lancet
says that the case Of the ships sur
geon Is stated with accuracy in the
ABOVE sentences and adds that tho
shlps surgeons are Of two kinds-first
those who after they have qualified
take such position either for health
or Tor pleasure, and, second, those who

from $50 to 500 month. This for
