NEvADA's GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Van Duzer Says Reno Won't Be In 1t
Unless Made Railroad Terminal.

Congressman Van Duzer returned
last Saturday from Tonopah to Reno to
meet party of Eastern gentlemen who
are ON their way to Southern Nevada.
Mr.. Van Duzer is enthusiastic over the
new gold fields and in an interview in
Sundays Journal, among other things,
he says:
"In two years Tonopah will have
l2.o00 permanent population and be-
tween Sodaville and Searchlight $4,000
will be added to Nevada's present popu.
lation. f.
"Now is Nevada's great opportunity
and Reno's chance. Out of the millions
to be taken from Tonopah, Nevada. and
Reno particularly, should be largely
benefited.
"Goldfield, Bullfrog, Las Vegas and
Searchlight will be great camps. II the
Southern Pacific railroad should make
Reno q terminal point, then Reno
merchants, Reno wholesale establish
ments could compete with Sacramento.
Salt Lake and Los Angeles. AS it is
to-day the business man from Tonopah
can get mining machinery from Salt
Lake or San Francisco cheaper than
from the Nevada Engineering Works
because San Francisco gets q better
rate to Tonopah than Reno. Sacra-
mento grocers supply Tonopah on the
same basis and undersells Reno because
Of better freight rate. Salt Lake and
Los Angeles are to-day reaching for the
trade of Southern Nevada, and they
will get it unless Reno is made ter
minal freight point.
"The people of Reno should take
steps to have this trade, foster it and
build it up. Reno should be the reser-
voir of Tonopah.

Red Wine Flows in Cutters.

Acting under orders of Health Officer
Ragan. the Food Inspectors last Satur-
day poured about $1,000 gallons of adul-
terated red wine into the cutters of the
streets of San Francisco. 1t was a por.
tion of the lot condemned after an
analysis by chemist. The samples
thereof were found to contain acids,
coal, tar, dyes and arsenic. The San
Francisco Board of Health has decided
to publish each month, in its official
bulletin, the names of all persons or
establishments serving or selling adul-
terated wine or other products.

OLD TROY TO THE FRONT.
Famous Camp 100 Miles South of Eu-
reka Again Attracting Attention.

The Phoebe Record of April says:
John Matthews and J. w. Christian.
who have been prospecting on Ernwood
Creek, about four miles north of Troy,
Nye County, came to Phoebe the other
day for the purpose of getting supplies
and having assays made. The samples
brought in assayed from from $92 to
1852 in gold.
They reported that Charles Garrett,
who owns mines in that vicinity, re-
Gently sold to Colorado parties his mine
for $25. 900, receiving $4,000 down.
About Is miles south of Troy, between
that place and the Big Greek, pros
pector by the name of Cribbs, who has
interested with him a couple of men in
Ely, just before they left for Phoebe,
had contracted the sale of his mines
with parties who met him at work, for
s45, 900, and they had just left for To-
nopah, where $4,000 was paid on the
bond.
Troy is mountain of gold. bearing
quartz, and was first discovered by pros
pectors in 1858, but they did nothing
then. going to the excitement of White
Pine. Four years afterwards they re-
turned to Troy, aud after little work
found rich gold ore in a tunnel they
were engaged in running. They sold
the property to an English company.
who erected mill and worked there
couple of years, but the expense was so
great in securing supplies that they
closed down. patented their claims and
removed the mill. All these years the
property has lain idle. with the excep-
ton that ranchers have relocated the
patented claims year after year, being
under the impression that they could
hold the mines. Now that Nevada is
coming to the front it is hoped that the
owners Of these claims, if they are
known or can be found, will again work
the mines.

A NEW FORAGE PLANT.
Burbank's Spineless Cactus Will Be
Eaten by All Kinds of Stock.

Luther Burbank, the famous Cali.
fornia horticulturist, has succeeded in
evolving from the common cactus of
the desert a spineless variety which
bids fair to revolutionize the problem of
forage. The spineless cactus is pro-
nounced by experts to be about one
half as nutritious as alfalfa bulk for
bulk, but the yield acre for acre is far
greater Again, it will grow on waste
land without water or care equally as
well as the wild variety known as the
prickly pear.
All Kinds of Stock Thrive on 1t.
By system of careful selection. Mr..
Burbank has so toughened it that it
will Withstand any climate and an ag.
ricultural expert of National reputation
has asserted that the spineless cactus
will make it possible to double the
population Of the globe through the
peopling of the deserts. The plant
is relished by all kinds of stock.
Horses, cattle, sheep. hogs. chick
ems and geese thrive on it.
In one respect it is said to be superior
to alfalfa. which has generally been ad.
mitted to be foremost in the list of
forage plants, in that it does not pro-
duce the "bloat" so dangerous to stock
that are allowed to Craze on green al.
falfa pastures.
Upon his plant farm at Santa Rosa,
Cal, Mr.. Burbank has a specimen of
spineless, which at three years old is
between seven and eight feet high and
weighs probably about eight hundred
pounds. Another spineless is year
old and higher than a mans shoulder.
Its leaves are from foot and one-half
to two and one-half feet long. They
have thickness of several inches one
of them would nearly or quite feed a
sheep day.
How the Spineless Is Propagated.
AS commercial proposition 1t will
cost from $40 to $25 an acre to plant
spineless when once it is generally
grown. 1t can be produced just as
readily as the spiny cactus. and with a
great deal less profanity. 1t will, Of
course, be raised from cuttings, and
these need merely be scattered over the
earth. Should cactus be tipped over
and the top touch the ground, that por-
ton will Immediately send out roots
exceedingly long and slender. An ad-
verse season will not destroy the cut
tings which have been scattered over
the soil to grow. If the plant is
wounded it will Immediately seal itself
up so that no moisture escapes and re-
main in a alternating condition until a
rain comes. after which it's leaves are
three or four times as large as they
were before. Like the camel, the
cactus stores water. chews its cud and
digests its food at leisure.

SOUTHERN PACIFICs NEW LINE
From Hazen to the Mojave Desert,
Connecting for Los Angeles.

Connecting for Los Angeles.
Articles of incorporation were filed al
Sacramento on April 5 by the Nevada
g. California Railway Company. with q
capital stock of $4,000, 900.
The articles say that the company
proposes building a line from Hazen.
Churchill County, Nevada, southwark
"to point on the Mojave Desert" and
a branch line 81 miles long from
Churchill, a station on the Carson &
Colorado Road, to Mound House on the
Virginia & Truckee Railroad. The in
tention is to effect connection between
Los Angeles and Hazen. with the aid OF
the Carson & Colorado, by laying a
trifie over 200 miles of track. The new
road will practi ally isolate the vir.
pinia & Truckee. between Reno and
Virginia City, expect for local traffic.
The distance from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles via proposed Hazen line is
10647 miles. This is 500 miles shorter
than via San Francisco and will prove
a great saving to tie Southern Pacific,
as it will do away with the long climb
over the Sierra NJ vada mountains For
the Union Pacific connection the dis.
tance is lessened hy So. 5 miles.
The distance from Salt Lake to Los

MORMON CHURCH SENSATION.
Two Dissenting Votes Against Sus'
tanning the Twelve Apostles.

Joseph f. Smith was sustained as
Prophet, Seer and Revelator by unani-
nous vote Of the members of the Nor
mon Church at the opening session of
the seventy fifth annual conference at
Salt Lake on April 6. When the vote
was taken to sustain the Twelve
Apostles. two hands were raised in dis
sent.
One of the dissenters arose to explain
his vote, but was not permitted to
speak, President Smith merely stating
that he could present his objections to
the proper authorities. The incident
created profound sensation. The
members who dissented afterward
stated that they desired to protest
against sustaining such officers of the
Church as live in polygamy.
Among the Apostles sustained were
Apostles Taylor and Cowley. In his
testimony before the Senate Investiga-
ting Committee at Washington, Sena-
tor Smoot stated that an investigation
was being made by the Church into
the charges that these two Apostles had
taken polygamous wives since the
manifesto. and that if the charges were
proven he would not vote to sustain
Taylor and Cowley.
Senator Smoot was not present that
day. nor were Apostles Taylor and
Cowley.
