On the Portland Beach claim In the
Nome district seven men and a cook
last winter cleaned up $421, 900 worth
Of gold In sixty days. The cost of op-
Grating the mine, including labor and
coal, during this period was $500. On
an adjoining claim $250,000 was taken
out. The summer mining season has
been shortened this year by bad storms,
but the total yield for the year will be
above that of any previous year owing
to the fact that winter mining has
proved so successful. Last winter was
the first time that mining on an extern
sive scale was tried during that sea
son, and it proved practicable.
In some mines where a shaft of con-
siderable depth has to be sunk In order
to reach the pay streak winter mining

Every mine is equipped with a boiler

driven into the bank by means of a
sledge, and when the steam Is turned

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

abused Railroads and the Nerada Press.
A book reached our desk this morning,
entitled "For the Railroads." contain
ing many nicely written arguments and
much statistics which endeavor to DEM
onstrate the gains which result to pro-
ducers and consumers from the free ac-
ton of commercial forces in shipping
and transportation. and the losses that
result from statutory restrictions.
As a forerunner to this, we received
about a week ago a personal letter stat
ing that we would receive a quantity of
editorial and news matter, relative to
railroad legislation. which we might
publish from time to time as original
matter.
In the first place, we will state that no
honest newspaper would publish matter
of this nature as original matter. and it
will not be given place in these columns.
In the second place. railroads have
never suffered in Nevada from statutory
restriction, and furthermore are not

rates aud methods against this State
and the abuses suffered by our Peep Q.
The railways have been the great ar
tsries by which the commercial life
blood of the State has been carried
away. We have long been made a prey

been obliged to pay a much greater

paid at San Francisco. CAL. 500 miles

transportation from Elko to San Fran.

ceiving freight from Chicago we pay
more from Ogden to Elko than from
Chicago to Ogden.
And still the railroads want the news

In this matter the New York Evening
Journal pays its compliments to him in

"Mr. Mccall, President of the New

editors that they must be very careful
what they say about the investigation
of his company.
1--WE take pleasure in being most
careful.
1--WE are careful-just at this mo-
ment-to say that we think the policy
holders of the New York Life In

a way that ought to put some Of that
company's officers in Jail. and we
should take pleasure in representing
any policy holder with that end in
view.
ave are careful to say that we think
the policy holders have been shame
fully abused and robbed by those that
they have trusted.
"And we are especially careful to say
that we believe that any man who puts a

MAY GO Through Reno.

Dan Griffin, who is one of the well
known railroad constructors of the
West, speaking to a Reno Gazette re-
porter about the Western Pacific a few
days ago, said:
81 may have a slice of that work to
do before things are through, for mat
ters are not definitely settled yet. The
Utah Construction Company has the
contract for building the Nevada part
of the road if the route is not changed,
but at present that looks like a very un-
certain proposition. There isn't a man
who knows to-day just what the route
of the Western Pacific will be across
this State. They are gradually working
south. and before they get through l
would not be surprised to see the main
line coming through Reno.
Route Has Not Been Chosen.
The Southern Pacific has refused to
let the Western Pacific through the pass
at Palisade, Eureka County, on the
ground that it is not wide enough, so
the new road will have to strike farther
south in order to get through. The
last survey that was made brought the
line within 20 miles Of Reno and be-
fore they are through I would not be
surprised to learn that they had de-
cided that this was too great a city to
miss and will COM in here with the
rails of the through track instead Of
connecting Reno with a spur track.
"They are going to have the Virginia
& Truckee anyway. That is certain.
But ii anyone tells you that the route
is definitely determined upon don't you
believe it. / happen to know BETTER"
