Railroad Trouble.

The MOO Railway is again tied up
owing to the storm Of yesterday The
train Of the north was unable to get
closer than % miles to the connection
at Cameron. The company is making
every effort to open the system and
expects to have TRANS running within
few days.
The rain of two days ago washed
down in a swollen stream and carried
out many feet Of the road, so it IS
stated. Little detail could be obtained
1t is stated that the south bound train
was the first to encounter the poor
piece Of track, and was detained far
from it's destination.
The train that leaves this city daily
can only go as far as Cameron, making
connections possible.-Journal

JAPANESE LANDING SOLDIERS
General Belief That the ajpanes.
Fleet Has Received Injuries.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-Japml
has evidently given UP hope Of TAX
ing Port Arthur by the aid of her
navy. The bombardment has ceased
and the fleet has withdrawn Just what
counter move is in contemplation is
hard to figure Fer the past three days
the Japs have been landing soldiers
and siege guns at Chinanpo, and from
the rapiditv of the movement it S
likely that land battle must follow
inside CT a few days The fact that
the ice cleared from the port Of Chi
nampo, has allowed the Japanese a
clear ground to carry on the work
that is ahead Of them.
There is a current runner among the
correspondents that the Japs suffered
a great deal Of damage to the war
ships in the late bombardment of Port
Arthur. 1t is known that several Of
the big battle ships that were within
the three thousand yard range have
been damaged. and it is more than
likely Mat they have either bean
preached or have left for dry docks.
The feet. when last seen was con
siderably diminished and several Of
the ships were under tugs. Even the

SOME BIG ORDERS.
comstock Mine Making Contracts For
Mininu Lumber


Mining Lumber.
The revival of deep mining on the
boom in the lumber line The yard in
this city is making arrangements to
fill some of the largest orders that
have gone from here in the past fif-
teen years. For the past few months
it has been case Of carload after
carload to fill the orders, and most
of it is being placed in the ground on
the Comstock.
The rebuilding of the " g. T. tun.
mel naturally took a great quantity
of lumber, but it is a trifle compared
to some of the orders that are before
the lumber people today.
The repairing of the Sutro tunnel
calls for over a million feet of d.
mension lumber. At the present time
the yard is pretty well cleaned Out

the lumber is needed, the mills at

up for business it will keep the boys

In several instances the dimension
needed could not be found in the yard
in ordinary pine, so Oregon pine was
substituted. This is going in at
pretty livey rate, when Oregon pine
can be est in the lower levels. Most
mine Trainings is Oregon pine, and of
very good quality. There seems to be
nothing too good for the mines at
present.
! Silver City also comes in for some
generous orders. The Silver Hill keeps
a team on the road most of the time
hauling lumber for repairs in the shaft
and for the work in the tunnel level.
This is all hauled by team, as it would
| have to be hauled down from Gold
Hill to the mine. Other properties in
the district are doing considerable bu-
siness and a mine can't run without
lumber. The lumber company IS
looking forward to an exceedingly fay
orable esason, and from what is in
sight it would seem that their conclu
sions are based upon very substantial
facts.

Railroad Rumor That Lacks confir
nation,

nation.
1t has been rumored on the streets
OF Truckee for some time that tho
Western Pacific Railroad has an op-
ton on all the property Of the Sierra
Nevada Wood and Lumber company
including the town Of Hobart Mills
and the broad guage railroad operat
ed by that company between Hobart
Mills and Truckee
Whether Or not the rumor is found
ed on facts it seems impossible to
discover at the present time, and
there are as may disbelievers Of the
rumor as there are believers.
If it is true there will be a lively
bidding for the lumber business of the
Sierras, around Lake Tahoe. Truckee
and the country further north.
Just what route would be followed
north from Hobart Mills is a matter
not yet made clear. and information
on the subject will be eagerly sought.
The tourist traffic and the ice bus
mess of the mountains will feel the
effect of the competition should the
Western Pacific take over the Hobart
Mills railroad.-Truckee Republican.
The Sacramento Bee in a special
dispatch has the following regarding
the rumored purchase and it's effect:
TRUCKER, March 3.-There has
been a rumor current here and in Ho-
bart Mills for some time to the effect
that the Western Pacific Railway
Company some time ago obtained an
option on the property of the Sierra
Nevada Wood and Lumber Company,
but the rumor has never been affirm.
ed or disputed.
The property includes the town of
Hobart Mills. the broad gauge rail-
| way between that town and Truckee.
and vast amount Of timber lands, 20,
gether with lumber mills, box fac
tories, electric light plant and other
| Zig institutions.
| II the rumor is based upon facts it
means that the railroad will be ex-
tended and that it will become a feed
er for the big transcontinental line III
! contemplation. 1t would connect with
the main system at some point in Plu-
mas county and would cross Sierra
county
1t is not improbable that it would
either be extended into the Lake Ia
from Truckee already in existancc
would be taken over and remodeled.
There is great eXpanse Of timber
lands in this region and the tourist
! travel IS 20 small item, being on the
increase each season.
The advent of the Western Pacific
would mean some lively building tor
the lumber and ice business of this
section and of Sierra county.
1t seems that, in one way, the new
line is to hurt Sacramento a little in
a business way.
In order to set a larger share of the
Nevada business, it is believed the
Western Pacific will make Reno a
terminal point for freight business
and by so doing it will practically
compel the Southern Pacific Company
to do likewise
This will enable Reno to compete
with Sacramento for wholesale bust
! ness in great eXpanse of territory
| At present that towns several rail
roads do her very little good for the
reason that it is a great deal cheaper
for retail dealers to get their supplies
from Sacramento or San Francisco
points, on account of the freight rates.
