THE TONOPAH RAILROAD.
Heavily Loaded With a Stock
and Bond Issue.
q. A. Schwab, of Steel Trust Fame,
and Friends Saddle Nevads's New
Narrow Guage With $4,000
Per Mile and a Stock Is
sue of 81, 200, 900.
San Francisco Examiner. May 10.

San Francisco Examiner. May 10.
There is some local criticism of the
financing of the Tonopah Railroad, q
line sixty.three miles long in Nevada,
The road is being built as a narrow
gauge-line from Sodaville. a station on
the Carson & Colorado branch of the
Southern Pacific, owe to the mining
town of Tonopah. 1t will be completed
by the end of this month. Work on
the road is being expedited by the
Southern Pacific furnishing much Of
the material at cost.
Charles A. Schwab, former Presi.
dent of the Steel Trust, and other East
ern people interested in the road are
bonding it for 5000 of 8 per cent
ffteen-year gold bonds This is practi.
cally at the rate of 5000 a mile for con.
struction and equipment. In addition
81, 0OO, 900 of stock has been issued. OF
this amount 500, 900 has been given
the original owners of the rail-
road charter. The other 5000, 900 OF
stock has been put in the treasury OF
the Tonopah Gold and Silver Mining
Company.
The Land Title and Trust Company
of Philadelphia is to handle the bond is.
sue. and has been given a mortgage on
the road and its equipment and other
property to secure the bonds. The min
ing company in question stands as
g%uarantor of the principal and interest
of the bonds.
The mining company as guarantor OF
the bonds Of the road, and its real
owner by reason of $500, 900 of the
stock, plans to make rates, if not in
terfered with by the Nevada State au'
thorities, stiff enough to pay big divi'
dends on its stock in addition to the
running expenses and the $50, 900 an
nual interest on the bonds.
The mining company, by charging it
self high rates on shipments, will b
simply taking money out of one pocket
and putting it in the other. Every 9th Ell
shipper and miner will be called upor
to pay it heavy tribute in the way Of
rates in order that it may make profit
out of the heavy financing of the road
The local critics do not say the Tono
pah district is not a good mining region
Neither do they express doubt as to it
longevity. They are not criticising the
district. In their opinion the stool
and bond issue of the narrow gaug,
road is out of proportion to a fair cost o
the property as a whole.

Worlds Fair Is Not Ready.

Heber M. Wells, Governor of Utah.
returned to Salt Lake City a few days
ago from st. Louis, where he assisted at
the opening Of the Worlds Fair. "The
Governor" says the Salt Lake Tribune.
"while thoroughly imbued with the
idea that this Exposition will represent
the acme Of success in the exposition
field, was nevertheless considerably sur
prised at its incompleteness at the time
Of the opening. He says that it will be
fully six weeks yet before everything
will be in shape. and intending visitors
should be in no hurry to make their
pilgrimages in that direction"

RUSSIANS BLOW UP PORT DALNY
Railroad Communication Re-opened
With Port Arthur.

Varying reports are coming from the
seat of war, with regard to Port Ar
thur. That place was said to have
been cut off from communication with
the world by the japanese investment
some days ago. Later it was said that
communication was restored, the rail-
road trains set to running again, and
the investment lifted. The dispatches
state that Port Dalny has been de-
stroyed by a Russian garrison.
Port Dalny. on Talien Wan Bay, on
the east coast of the Lao Tung penin-
sula, was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium OF its East
ern dominions. An edict providing for
its construction was issued by the Rus
sian Emperor July 80, 1899, and Port
Dalny, fully equipped with all modern
improvements, docks, warehouses and
railroad facilities, was opened to com.
merce in 1901.
Japanese Advance Checked.
St. Petersburg, May 1.-The Japanese
advance to the North has been checked
at Molten, below Lao Yang, according
to advices received here. The fighting
is said to. have been fierce, but the Rus
slams held their own.
An explanation came to bay of the
re-opening of the railroad commuuica-
ton with Port Arthur. An official re-
port declares that a fierce typhoon de-
layed the Japanese landing and COM
PEELED the withdrawal of the japanese
ashore to the eastern side of the penin-
sula. 1t is reported, however, that the
landing has been resumed and a heavy
force of Japanese are concentrating,
apparently for the purpose of making
an attack on Port Arthur. The officials
declare it will be a long time before the
Japs are in possession of Port Arthur,
if ever.
Russians Blow UP Fort Dalny.
st. Petersburg, May IL, 4:l6 p. H.
Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed to the
Gar announcing that the Russians
have blown up the docks and piers at
Port Dalny, Lao Tung peninsula, pre-
sumably to render more difficult a Ja-
panese landing at that point.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT

Reno Observer.
When undesirable people are run out
from other States and communities they
strike out for Reno. Reno is "wide
open" and they feel safe here to roll
DRINKS or ply their illegitimate calling
on any lines that promise a two-bit re-
turn. 1t cannot last always is the only
comfort that people who are trying to
make an honest living have to tie to.

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION
Who May and Who May Not Vote
 Today.

The election for the purpose of vc ting on the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $10,000 for tfe improvement of the high school will be held today at the high school building. The polls will be opened at nine o'clock and will be closed at four.
 The old question of qualifications which it was thought was settled at the last election has been raised again. It is thought by some that since this is a "school district election" all who are qualified to vote at school elections may vote today. This supposition is based upon the following definition of qualifications: Every person, male or female, of the age of twenty-one years or over, who is citizen of the United States and who has been resident of the district for thirty days immediate ly preceding the day of the election and whc is the parent or the guardian of q child of school age residing in the dis. trict or who has paid a territorial or county school tax exclusive of poll tax during the preceding year shall be en- titled to vote at any school district election.'
 But there is another paragraph of the statutes which says: "The board of trustees of any school district may when in their Judgment it is advisable and must upon the petition of a ma- jority of the heads of families residing in the district call an election and sub init to the taxpayers of the district whether the bonds of such district shall be issued and sold etc.
 It has been decided, by the district attorney, taking the two paragraphs together that it is essential that the voter Q a school bond election must be a taxpayer and possess all other quail ifications as a voter at a regular school district election. A woman cannot vote merely because her husband is a tax payer. Community property cannot be represented at the election by two vot- CTS. If the property is in the name of the wife and she is otherwise qualified to vote at school district election she may vote today. The mere payer of pcll tax cannot vote though the last Legislature gave. it the name of school tax.

tion as to which was the faster horse and incidentally to tackle anything else that promised to be fast enough to make race with the western cracks.
 Just at the starting point MT. Pol lard, with the black pacer Tommy Brown, swung into position, and the three horses were away to good start. The weight did not seem to bother Cobre Grande at all. and he soon drew clear of the others, with Tommy Brown Tapped on Arizona a length back. At the end of the iron railing Tommy Brown lost his balance and Cobre Grande beat his stable mate by less than the length of his neck.
 The clip was a little too fast for the black pacer, and his owner dropped out. but Cobre Grande and Arizona pac- ed another nice brush, the former win ming by a narrow margin. Tcmmy Brown evened up his defeat by finish ing in front of the roan trotter, Steel Wilkes, by Roan Wilkes, 2:04A, driven by MT. Fournet."
