Eldorado Waits for Promoter.

An Eldorado, despised and rejected,
lies in the heart of the Mississippi
valley with transportation facilities at
hand, and as undeveloped as any of
the extreme western states. This rich
region has superb climate. free
from malaria. with an abundance of
the purest water and the purest air,
plenty of timber for mining purposes,
immense beds of zinc of remarkable
purity. and of lead ore. This ideal
country awaits men whose business is
nining and whose efforts and invest
ments will be requited with great
fortunes in the near future. This
neglected Eldorado comprises an area
between the Boston mountains in the
south, the Ozark mountains in the
north. and embraces parts of five
counties Of Arkansas.

others relating to the operating of
trains from one central power house,
and, again the saving in capital, main
tenance and operating. The most
noticeable advantages to the passen-
ger-namely: those affecting his COM
fort-are the cleanliness of the cars
and the absence of smoke and cinders,
especially in tunnels; also the better
distribution of heating and lighting
higher speed is attainable, not only
for continuous runs, but with the
same running speed as on the steam
line the average speed is higher, and
the duration of the trip reduced by the
increased traction due to the uniform
rotary movement of motors. The
stops for water or fuel would mean
sn additional gain.

Use. An Indiana man has patented
the wire-nail puller shown in the Illus

features. This instrument is formed
cf a shank, having attached at the
end pair of claws of the usual form
employed upon hammers. one claw
having a longer curve than the other.
The shank is bent to the center the
free end in alignment with the claw
having the shorter curve. so that
when the claw Is placed beneath the

is drawn. When in this position the
draft or force required to first engage
tie claw with the nail is In direct line
with the structure and at right angles
to the nail and enables the operator
TO utilize the force upon the claw to
much better advantage, and with
corresponding better effect. To assist
in this action supplemental handle
is formed, extending from the shank,
whereby a strong drawing pressure
can be exerted upon the shorter claw

shank and handle thus coact TO great

the labor and time required to start
the nail from the wood. and after the
nail is partially drawn the implement
is reversed and the other claw brought
into action, which by reason of its
longer curve exerts longer leverage
and completes the drawing of the nail
without bending 1t. Thus the longest

WERE DRIVING ACROSS TRACKS
Wife Of the Victim Heard the News

Loved ones Death, but Was
Ignorant Of Truth
WERE DRIVING ACROSS TRACKS

While a hundred newsboys cried the
account of the death of her husband
and his sister in a railroad crossing
accident Mrs. Charles u. Davie went
calmly about her shopping in the
down n-town district yesterday morning
to return home at noon and learn that
the victims were her loved ones. She
was prostrated by the news.
Charles f. Davie and his sister
Helen were run down by a Santa Fe
passenger train at the Lincoln PARK
crossing at 9.45 o'clock yesterday
morning. Miss Davie was almost in
stantly killed and her brother, who
was an employ of the Port Costa Mill
ing company, died as he was being
placed in an ambulance at La Grande
station.
Davie and his sister who were on
their way to Pasadena. either failed to
see the train or believed they could
drive across the track in safety before
it reached them.
The train, on its way to Los Angeles,
was going at full speed when the ac-
cident occurred. The occupants of tn .
buggy were thrown over fifty feet by
the impact and their bodies were
frightfully mangled. The horse which
Davie was driving was killed and the
vehicle reduced almost to kindling.
The train was brought to stop as
soon as possible and the engineer, j.
w. r. Mcneil, and passengers, hastened
back to the spot. The bodies were
taken aboard and brought to Los An
geles, where physicians were waiting
at La Grande station.
Engineer Mcneil says that when he
saw that he was about to strike the
vehicle and its occupants he imme-
diately applied the air brakes, but they
were Intellectual in the short distance
intervening between the engine and the
Davie seemed to realize his position
and whipped UP his rose.
At the place where the accident oc-
Cured a view of the track is possible
for nearly half mile and Mcneil
thinks Davie must have seen the ap-
proach of the train.
Davie lived with his wife and her
mother, Mrs. Yelton, at 1904 West
Twenty fifth street. Deceased was q

RICH ORE UNCOVERED

Proves Big Bargain

GOLDFIELD, April 15.-Work has
only just begun on the south half of
the mountain, recently purchased by
d. II. Peery of Salt Lake City, for the
Montgomery Mountain Mining COM
pany, and 5000 ore has been uncovered
at a depth of six feet. The enormous
ledge uncovered by the tunnel at the
Shoshone end of the mountain has been
found in place on the Peery end.
Mr.. Peery was among the first to
learn of the big strike on the Shoshone
some weeks ago. He jumped into the
district and without ado purchased the
south end of the mountain at figure
that was considered at that moment
fabulous by the uniformed, and has
since proved to be one of the greatest
bargains that has been picked up in
