which the line win be completed, but 1t
win not be before September ~, nor
,ater than September Is. The first
through train from San Francisco to
Tonopah will leave the former point
on August 81, and on September ID,
the first excursion train over the new
line will leave the Pacific coast me
tropolis for Tonopah and Goldfeld. 1t
will contain a large party of San Fran
cisco merchants and brokers, who will
first inspect the mines of the Tonopah
section and then journey to Goldfeld.
When asked regarding the truth OF
the rumor that the new line was to
be built through to Bullfrog by Deem
her 1, Mr.. Trip said: "There is no
present intention of extending the line
of the Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad
through to Bullfrog, although it is one
of the possibilities of the future. l
have heard the rumor you refer to
and can state definitely that it is with
out foundation in fact at this time. If
the Bullfrog section continues to grow
in mining and general business impor-
lance there is no question but what
railway facilities will be afforded
through the medium of our road, but
no movement to that end is now on the
tapis.p

RADIO miner, who is now employed on
the Watson lease on the Cornishman,
is a lucky man despite the fact that he
is now laid up as n result of injuries
sustained a few days ago while work
ing in the shaft on that property.
During the past few weeks Lyons has
passed through a number of thrilling
experiences which mark him as bear
ing a charmed life. His last adventure,
however, resulted in his sustaining
injuries which will ipeapacitate him
for work for several days. While work
ing in the bottom of the shaft Thurs
day the top man a~ecidently showed a
car of ore over the collar of the shaft
and it's contents were dumped upon the
man below.
Fortunately, however, Lyons escaped
with no more serious injury than a
bruised foot and ankle. His wounds
are painful, but are not considered
to be serious. Thursdays accident
is chapter four in the series which
have befallen him. Chapter one opens
with the dropping of a lighted lantern,
slmilaK to those used on locomotives,
down the shaft. The lamp exploded
and Lyons narrowly escaped being
roasted; the second accident through
which the Colorad. miner passed II
scathed resulted from the dropping of q
two-bitted axe down the shaft; chap
ter three in the series was caused by
the precipitating of a heavy stuil down
the shaft. Having passed through the
entire series without serious injury 1T
is safe to assume that Lyons is under

OWENS RIVER.
Entire Water Flow Gobbled Up by
Los Angeles.

The vast majority of the citizens of
Inyo county, California, which adjoins
Esmeralda on the west, are bitterly
opposed to the appropriation of the en-
tire water supply of Owens Valley by
the city of Los Angeles for a water
supply, and every effort is now being
made 20 prevent this garden spot of
eastern California from being turned
into 3 desert, which will be the inevita-
BILE result if the plans of the Los An
geles people cannot be frustrated. 1t
will mean that the little prosperous
town of Independence, with a popula-
tion of about 900, will be practically
wiped off the face of the map, and to
this mode of confiscation the taxpayers
and residents are using every effort to
prevent the deal. Bishop people are
also with them in the fight and every
legal means will be used to keep the
water on the eastern slope of the Sier-
ras. Long and costly court litigation
is bound to be the result.
For years past the supply of water
for the city of Los Angeles has been
inadequate. The city bought out the
old private water company that was
furnishing the supply and started out
to get a more adequate one. Several
million dollars were expended in buy
ing water rights near the city to aug
ment the old supply, but the rapid
growth of the city and the demand for
water has steadily kept ahead of the
quantity that could be secured on the
western slope of the range. About a
year ago, after a careful examination
and many surveys, it was found that
the plan of diverting the water in
Owens river across the range was a
feasible one, and estimates were made
on the cost. Then agents of the Los
Angeles city government started to
buy up all the ranches and water rights
in Owens Valley, and they have sue
ceeded in getting about all of them.
Until. this was done the residents of
Independence, Bishop and other towns
in the valley, paid little attention to
the subject. BY securing the water of
Owens river, Los Angeles will have a
sufficient supply for a city of 2,000, 600.
The estimated cost is about $25 ,000,;
600, or about Is per cent of the assessed
value of the entire city. 1t is estimated
that it will take from four to five years
to complete the canal and pipe line
and in the meantime the farmers in the
valley will be allowed to useathe water
as when they owned the rights.
Tie residents sof% southwestern Me-
vada are interested in the fight, as they
have been looking with anxious eyes
for some time past for an adequate
supply for the many towns, mines and
mills, and Owens river appeared to be
the best one.

ON THE HIKE.

1.-THE first train on the line between
Tonopah and Goldfeld win arrive here
about September IL. 1t will be almost
impossible to lay the rails between the
two cities before that time despite the
fact that we are showing work ahead
at the rate of a mile and a half daily.
/ had hoped to get the first train
through by September z, but delay in
the arrival of material makes it i'm
possible. Now, however, all of the ma
terial for the completion of the road
is in sight and progress
is being made as rapidly as is comoata-
BILE with good railroading. We all re-
ahze how. anxious the citizens of Gold
field are to witness the completion of
the road, but believe me, they are not
a whit more impatient to hail the ar
rival of the first train than are the
promoters of the enterprise. There is

First Train VIII Pull Into Goldfeld
About September ~.

Work on the railway which is to
connect Gvldfeld with the commercial
life of the country is progressing as
rapidly as conditions will permit, and
unless circumstances at present unfor-
seen arise to prevent, the first train
will pull into the camp on Sept. 18th.
All the men available for the purpose
are being employed in tie effort to ex-
pedite matters and rails are being laid
and the road-bed ballasted at the rate
of a mile and a half daily. 1t had been
hoped that the line would be in opera
tion by September 2, but an unavoid-
able delay in the arrival of material
has made it impossible to complete it
by that date. The utmost care is be-
ing exercised in the placing of track
age, etc., and when finished the road
viii compare favorably both in safety
of right-of-way and finish of rolling
stock to many of the trans-continental
lines of the country. 1t will
beyond question be superior TO
any railway hitherto operated in
Nevada, and win set a fast
pace for other roads which lay claim
to much greater pretensions. As a
freighter of treasure, gold in the rough,
it will be instrumental in swelling very
materially the yellow stream which
flows with ever increasing volume from
rocked ribbed hills and through arid
wastes into the channels of general
trade. The value of this precious Ear
Fgo will reach many millions of dollars
annually, representing the output of the
mines of the district, some of which are
producing ore of fabulous richness
