DENIED THE REPORT.
Superintendent Yerinston States That
He Knows Nothing Of the Deal.

The Reno Journal of Sunday was
filed by a report to the effect tha-
the V. & T. r. r. property including
the road and equipment had passed
into the hands of the Southern Pact
fic Railroad. Naturally the people of
this city took a great deal of interest
in the item, as they figure that should
the deal go through that it would Ell
Their be a great help or detriment
to this city. Should the shops be dis
continued it would mean a loss CT
about ten or twelve thousand dollars
a month to this community, while on
the other hand should the sale be
made and also improvements it might
make a difference to this city The
officials of the railroad were in no posi-
ton to confirm or deny the report,
as Superintendent H. NJ. Yerington
was absent from this city. He arriv-
ed from San Francisco on yesterday s
train and in an interview with an
Appeal reporter stated as follows:
Yes, read The reported sale of the
V. & T. as declared in the Reno Jour-
nal. AS far as | know there is 10
truth in the report. 1t seems to me-
that if such deal had been made the
superintendent CT the road would be
apt to know something CT it. You can
state that as far as my knowledge of
| the reported saie is concerned, that ]
know absolutely nothing Of it. The
road is to my best knowledge and be
lief the property of the V. & T.
stock holders"
Mr. Yerington, in speaking of the
work before the V. 6 T. shops was
we'll satisfied IN regard to the
freight congestion that is on at pres
ent he said that the V. & T. was
keeping up its end Of the game. but
that the trouble is on the narrow
gauge road, as they are not provide
with the proper traction to handle tbs
immense amount of freight and traffic
that is demanded of it. He hoped thai
the way would soon be clear and thai
better service could be given all alons

Roosevelt Stands Pat.

Now, the real reason the Secretary
of the Navy disfavored the bill ap
peared to be this: The Bethlehem
Steel Company and the Midvale Steel
Company, great non-union concerns
handling much Government work and
employing artisans of the same class
as those serving in the naval gun fac
tory at Washington, might have had to
advance wages OF their WOrkmen had
wages been advanced in Washington.
And thus, because Bethlehem and
Midvale desired low wages, all the eff
forts of the union mechanics in the
District of Columbia came to nothing
The hand-shaking continued and there
were beautifully wOrded explanations,
but the wage increase did not come.
The mechanics then petitioned the
President to reverse the advice of his
Secretary OF the Navy. | drew the pc
tition they laid before Mr.. Roosevelt.
He promised to give it consideration.
That was before the adjournment OF
Congress in April. No executive action
has since been taken, so far as | have
heard.
The Federal Government is, of
course, standing pat" Bethlehem and
Midvale doubtless cordially approve
the policy. Their favorite champion in
Congress, Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
continues to smile and smile Mr.
Roosevelt continues to write glowing
words concerning the fine regard gov
eminent should pay to the rights of

Mr. Brock Of the Tcnopah Road Talks
Of the Change.

John w. Brock Of Philadelphia, pres
dent of the Tonopah railroad. one CT =

and this morning he left for ToncDah.
here he goes to look after the inter
ests Of his line Mr.. Brocl. was seen by
q Gazette reporter just as he left the
Overland Hotel and in reply to the
newsDa peTInan's queries he announced
that as soon as possible the work OF
building the new railroad to Goldfield
and the broadening Of the Tonopah
road from a narrow to a standard
guage would begin. He discussed mat
tiers freely and seemed we'll pleased
with the turn that events are taking
in southern Nevada railway affairs.
THE commencement of work all de-
ponds on the dispatch with which we
can receive the necessary material"
said President Brock. At this time
the c. and c. is swamped with freight
and it will be impossible for them to
deliver the enormous shipments that
we will require besides they will have
the widening of their own read to
look after and as we have to depend
on them for the transportation of our
supplies it is in question just when the
work can be begun However, we ex-
pect to accomplish these things just
rs soon as possible and we shall do
al IN our power to give the people II
Tonopah and GoldGeld the shipping
and passenger facilities to which they
are entitled"
In reply to a question concerning an
additional passenger train from this
city to Tonopah leaving here in the
evening, President Brock stated that
so far as he knew that such a thing
WAS ret contemplated at this time.
but that # the connecting roads would
put such train in commission that
he Tonopah road surely would be
more than pleased to take care of the
passengers on its end of the line.
Yes, | am iterested in the indie
pendent railroad that is to connect
TOnCpah with GOldfield," he continued
1T is not being built by the Tonopah
Railway Company, but by another
company in which myself and Other
gentlemen are interested. We hore
to get this through without great de-
lay, but of course its construction de-
ponds as / told you on the dispatch
with which we can secure the mater
ial"
As soon as the c. and c. and the
Toncpah railway lines are made stand
ard guage. says President Brock
through trains will be run over the
lines which will do away with freight
congestions and enable the mines 10
ship their ores
At present, he says, only very
small per cent Of the ores can be
taken care of
Following these changes the camps
will probably develop and give employ
ment to more men than ever before

Sun Spots and Rainfall.

The most obvious changes on the sun
are those marked by spots, and it has
been long understood that the cycle
of II years in which these spots occur,
corresponds to a similar cycle in rain
fall on the earth. More recent study of
solar influence, says Lockyer, show that
it is the prominence instead of the spots
that are chiefly associated with atmos-
pheric and magnetic disturbances on the
earth. The prominence cycle of 81
years is especially conspicuous in the
meteorology of India. while third
cycle-35 years in length-has been
traced recently in the climates of the
whole earth, each 11-year cycle being
different from that Immediately preced-
ing and that following.

SWISS INVENTORS IDEA.

tie, the hospital corps may be interested

illustrated. 1t consists principally of a
set of lazytongs, with a canvas cloth ex-
tending from head to foot when the
stretcher is extended. 1t will be noticed
that the handles by which the carrier is
lifted are attached to the lower section
of the folding frame, serving to fold the
stretcher when they are turned down
against the legs, and to extend it when
in position to carry a wounded soldier
off the field.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
