The middle Of this month marked the
beginning of preparations Of the rail-
roads to commence transporting miners
to the gold fields of southern Nevada
and il is estimated that 10000 will go
in this spring. The rush is now on in
earnest. Up to the 9th Of this month
there were 1000 tickets sold in Chicago
for Goldfelds and 5000 in St. LOUIS for
the same place. The matter of sup
pling food, water and sleeping accomo-
dations to this great number in the diff
ferent mining camps is a serious pro,
blem.

farmers are now plowing their ground

Kearny county has raised four
times the number of tons Of beets that
any other county in the state has
raised, and no doubt will nearly
double its acreage next season. There

work on the several bitches in the
county enlarging them, putting in con-
crete wings, dams, and otherwise get

THEY GOT THE MONEY.
Why Senator Porter and Afr. stubbs
Went to New York.

Senator S. NJ. Porter of Caney, Kan,
came to Topeka Thursday to talk to
Receiver j. Z. Bradley of the First Ma
tional about some business matters in
which Mr. Porter and Mr.. Devlin were
jointly interested. Mr.. Porter said:
Il have just come back from New
York, where 1 went with Mr.. Stubbs
to finance the Cherryvale, Oklahoma
& Texas railroad. This is the road
which will extend southwark from
Caney for distance of about 500 miles.
We had very little difficulty in getting
a party of Pennsylvania capitalists and
bankers interested in our project and
the money end of the enterprise is as
sured. Mr.. Stubbs will do the work of
construction, and will probably begin in
the spring. The people in Pennsyl-
vania who are putting up the money
viii send their own experts out here to
look over the ground.
THE people in the east have a great
deal OF confidence in Kansas now. OF
course they have to be shown, in any
enterprise of this kind, that it is a good
business proposition, but so far as any
prejudice is concerned, it no longer
exists"

it possible to issue them at any time the

At present conditions for an issue are

be later on. An immediate sale would
