by the chief engineer of the road, the
official geologist of the company and
the heads of the traffic and the passen-
ger department, spent the day in the
Clearwater country. Mr.. Elliott says
that undoubtedly a railroad is needed
down the Snake river, but the uncer
tainty of the Northern Securities COM
pany litigation prevents the Northern
Pacific from making a decision with re-
gard to the building.
Traffic Too Heavy.
Development of the Clearwater
country since the opening of the Nez
Perez reservation in 1894 has been
marvellous and traffic has increased al
most beyond the ability of the rail-
roads to handle it. From August until
the snow flies wheat pours into the
railroad warehouses from Nez Perez
prairie, Camas prairie, American ridge.
Bear ridge and the thousands Of acres
VI lICI, vi every size so
that the greenhouses overflow with
grain, and enough cars can not be sup
piled to carry the surplus away.
In addition to hauling the grain
nearly 100 miles out of the way to join
the o. r. & n. line at Pullman, Wash.
or Moscow, or up to Marshall nine
miles from Spokane, and then to Ia
coma, the thorn in the flesh of the
Northern Pacific is the Kendrick hill.
An engine that could haul 65 cars of
grain down the water grade along the
Snake river can haul only five loaded
cars up the Kendrick hill. The cost of
such labOrious transportation and the
round about hauling will soon pay for
the proposed line from Lewiston to Ri
paria.

R.Ch STRIKE Repe rted

According to George Wingfield. one of
he largest mining operators at Goldfield.
he most sensational strike that has been
made for weeks in either Goldfeld or
Tonopah Is that made by Rube Ryder on
the Velvet claim at Goldfeld a few days
ago. Ryder scooped up handful of dirt
from the old wagon road where 1t crossed
the Velvet lode. which he panned. 1t
yielded an astonishing quantity of gold
and straightwayA Ryder FASTENED to the
office of Claude M. Smith, who granted
q. m a lease.
Ryder then got two of his friends to
ecure adjoining leases for him and now
he is in possession of property that has
already made him rich, as the values In
the dirt and quartz run as high as $4,000
o the ton.
Mr.. Wingfield says that the strike is
simply wonderful and that Ryder will
make a fortune from It, The latter is a
Woodworking miner and heretofore has
had a hard time keeping himself in COM
Portable circumstances.

track, the coach rolling over ard down
the embankment. Fortunately TO one
was killed, but the passengers werc badly
frightened and several sustained slight
injuries.
The c. & c. railway suffers heavily
but the Tonopan road is totally de-
moraiized. Its tracks are washed out r
miles and 1t is feared that it cannot be
reopened for almost week. The wash,
nut exceeds that of August 18th, which
led up the road for several days.
One of the most serious circumstances
If the affair is that Ton pah and Gold
1eld are both short of provisions as a re-
suit of the recent washout. Nearly one
hundred cars of merchandise for the two
camps are standing on the tracks at
Reno. Cars and Mound House, and IL
nay be ten days before these can be
gotten through TO the destination.
In addition to the losses sustained by
the railroads many ranchers will lose
heavily.
