Strike in Lincoln County.

Salt Lake Herald, Jan. 90: Probably
the most important strike which has
been made along the line of the San
Pedro during the season is that just re-
ported from Los Vegas. New. Samples
submitted to f. M. Bishop for assay
were tried yesterday and gave returns
of 1902. .16 to the ton in gold. The prop
erty in which the discovery has been
made is located in Eldorado canyon,
near Los Vegas. The outcrop from
which the samples were secured is des-

NEW ROAD TO TONOPAH.
Senator Clark Buys Interest i
"Borax" Smiths Railroad.

That Senator Clark will push on to
the great camps of Tonopah and Gold
field is now seemingly an assured fact.
The Montana millionaire has just
purchased an interest in "Borax"
Smiths proposed Tonopah & Tidewater
Railroad, and it will be hurried to COM
pletion to Nevada's celebrated gold
camps which are now the wonder of the
age.
The new branch will connect with
the Salt Lake route near Kaktis station,
which is exactly 2S.8 miles northeast of
Daggett. From this point the survey
runs through the heart of Death Valley
to Furnace creek, and from there to
Tonopah and Goldfield.
A large force of men and mules has
been busily engaged for some time in
grading for the new line, and tracklay-
ing is scheduled to shortly begin. This
branch, with the one to Phoebe and
Cherry Creek, will give the new line
added Importance as a mining road.

GOULD MEN ON THE COAST.
w. A. Bradford Carefully Examining
the Affairs of Western Pacific.

w. A. Bradford, president of the
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville Rail-
road, who was an important factor in
the project of the Goulds to get their
lines into Pittsburg, has been in San
Francisco for ten days. says the Call of
Feb. 8. President Bradford was ac-
companied to this city by HI. L. jack
son, chief engineer of the same road.
Although they endeavored to conceal
the real purpose of their visit to the
coast it became known yesterday that
Bradford and jackson have been care
fully looking over the territory through
which the Western Pacific Railroad is
expected to extend.
The two railroad men were preceded
to San Francisco by Engineer Bogue,
formerly of the Union Pacific, who has
been engaged by the Goulds to inspect
the route of the Western Pacific. With
him Bradford and jackson made a
journey up the Sacramento Valley,
quietly visiting different towns through
which the new line is projected. They
were accompanied on this trip and a
subsequent one around the bay by a
man who was for many years closely
allied with Huntington and Croker in
their many local railroad schemes, and
from him they cleaned much informa-
ton regarding Northern California.
Bradford and Jackson left Bogue in the
north and returned to San Francisco.
where they busted themselves for sew
eral days looking over maps and sur
veys in their rooms at the Palace.
1t is understood that they were COM
missioned by the Goulds and the New
York financiers who are supposed to be
behind the Western Pacific Railroad
enterprise to inspect thoroughly the
entire project, in so far as the construc-
tion of the road is concerned, and that
before coming to San Francisco they
inspected portion of the contemplated
route of the road in Nevada and Utah
with a view to making an extensive re-
port on their return to the East.

EXCELLENT FIELD SURGERY.
Statistics Showing Results of Treat
ment in japanese Army.


Japanese field surgeons and field hos
pitfalls have accomplished triumph, ac-
cording to statistics obtained from the
chief surgeon of Gen. Oku's army.
There have been in the entire army
since the landing on May only 40
deaths from disease.
The figures show that up to Decem-
Der / there were treated 24,642 cases of
disease OF these 40 resulted fatally,
1858 patients recovered, 5000 were
sent to Japan. and the remainder were
undergoing treatment when the figures
were compiled.
1t is believed that these figures are
unequalled in the history of warfare.
There were only 1913 cases of typhoid
and 342 cf dysentery, while of beri- beri
there were 5O70. The other cases of
disease were not serious.
The casualties in Gen. Oku's army
from May to December 19 were as
follows:
killed-Officers, 210; men 49l7.
Wounded-officers, 743; men, 20,337.
Missing-officers. A; men. 402.
Sixteen per cent of the wounded died,
19 per cent recovered in the field and 65
per cent were sent to Japan.
Eighty-fve per cent of the wounds
were inflicted by rifle shots. per cent
by artillery and z cent by cold steel.
The largest percentage of recoveries
was in the cases of chest wounds. Most
of the recoveries were due to the small
calibre of the rife bullets.
The percentage of the other japanese
armies are believed to be about the
same.
