PLEAS[D With TONOPAH
Schwab Mines to Be Equipped
With Modern Apparatus

Charles Schwab, formerly of the steel
trust, arrived In Reno Friday from
Tonopah, making the trip in sixteen
hours, the fastest time by eight hours
ever made between the bonanza camp
and that city. The distance is 260
miles. The fast time was made through
the party travelling part of the dis
tance over the new Tonopah- Rhodes
railroad
He was in his private car and ac-
companied by several men from San
Francisco. Schwab speaks in glowing
tie ms of the new camp.
1T is one of the greatest mining
are so much pleased with the condi-
tions that it is our intention to at once
equip our present holdings in a modern
manner and work them on a more
modem and much larger scale.
"The district is not much more than
started, and with the judicious use OF
brains and capital much more will be
taken out within the next few years
than people can realize. There are
good men and good mines in there now
and the only thing that hampers them
in their work is their lack of proper
transportation facilities.
1.-The new rail DAD now being con-
structed affects not only the future of
Tonopah but the prospects for all of
southern Nevada"
Schwab and his party went % To-
nopah for the purpose of looking over
mines in which they are heavily inter-
ested. During their stay there it is
understood they also became interested
in other prope ties. This. coupled with
Mr.. Schwab's high opinion of ahe camp
and the announcement that he intends
to develop the properties in which he
is interested. means much for the flu
ture prospeiit ity of the camp.
Schwab and his party went from
Reno to San Francisco.

CUTOFF NOT TO Be
ABANDONED
Prominent Official Says New
Ideas Will Be fried I'm
mediately

The sinking of the Lucin cutoff
(mentioned exclusively in the Silver
State of Thursday has caused consid-
e. able talk of abandoning the enter
p.ise entirely. To a Utah State Jour-
nal reporter railroad man in Ogden
who occupies a position of prominence
with the Hartman roads said the re-
port that the Lucin cutoff Is to be
abandoned is the rankest kind of gos-
sip.
1T is not likely" said he, that after
expending over $5.00O,000 upon an en-
terprise now practically finished that
the Hartman people will abandon 1t
because it is taking time to solidify
tlestle piles and overcome sinks. 1t Is
rather to be expected that before they
get through the entire cutoff will be
solid rock anad earth the entire dis
lance. We have found the greatest
difficulty to be sinks that swallow up
great quantities of rock and piles be-
fore a solid bed can be made: but so
far we have encountered no bottomless
pits. 1t may be definitely stated that
the cutoff will not be abandoned but
will be made so strong that no storm
will affect traffic over it,
This last storm did great damage
but new ideas will be Immediately put
in opel alton to overcome any chance
of a like occurrence In the future. /
expect several prominent officials of
the Hartman system to visit Ogden
shortly. when various plans will be
submitted and the most feasible will
be acted upon.
While traffic to large extent is
prevented from going over the cutoff.
do not expect that 1t will be long
before it can be fully resumed. A dis.
patch flom Reno commenting on a re-
cent accident refers to the sinking of
the trestle and the loss of a coal train.
1t is certainly marvellous that in view
of che magnitude of the CUTOFF enter
prise there have been SO few acci-
dents.

Probably the thought that the m~urderers Of Johns

concealing stolen property in the hills south Of Wes-

there in the early history of the state had also carried on

them happy. The sensational find was at once brought
to Miller and fer a time lay in the rear of a drug store,
but it was turned over later to one of the newspaper
Offices where it has been carefully guarded by the devil,
and is in good condition for use yet, but is kept only as
a historical relic Of the dark ages Of this section of the
state. Corn whisky was it's output in the famous hills of
these pioneer days and the sleuths of Unlcc Sam made
it necessary for the desperate operators to throw
it in the lake and escape. 1t is said that Indians in those
days got their fire water from the nozzle of this still.
