many years, four residences on Sayre

Death of Mrs. Clifford

The many friends of Ed. Clifford,
Jr., in this section, will learn with re.
gret, of the death of his beloved
wife, Marguerite, which occurred at
their home at Big Creek, on the Srd
ult.
The demise of Mrs. Clifford is in
deed sad one. Less than nine
months ago she became the happy
bride of her now heart-broken hus-
band, and in the happiness of their
honeymoon death claimed her and
robbed the husband of lovable com
panion, and in her bridal robes, now
her shroud, they laid her in her grave.
Deceased was the eldest daughter
of Mrs. b. O'Toole, and was 10 years
of age on the 18th day of May last.
In life she was a handsome woman
and favorlte with all who had the
pleasure of her acquaintance.

In the work of broad gaugiug only
one rail will be disturbed. One of
the present rails is permanent, the
other is so arranged that it can be
moved out to make the standard
gauge. For the present then, there
will be no increase in the weight of
the rails it being maintained that
the present weight will suffice to
carry the big engines and Southern
Pacific trains.
General Manager Alonzo Tripp
states that for the present he ex.
poets that broad gauge trains will
be run in only from Mound House.
until the Hazen cutoff is completed.
This will save at least two trans.
fers of freight which will be of some
object to Tonopah.
The cutting off OF freight receipts
for five days has worked hardship
to the mines Of Tonopah which are
shipping ore. The Mizpah, Montana,
Tonopah Extension, North Star and
the other shippers have not shut
down for a moment, but have con.
tinued taking out ore and sacking it,
and as result there will be ore
shipments galore ready for the first
freight train to go out over the
broad gauge
1t is estimated by Engineer Welch
that the work Of broad gauging will
occupy no longer time than fourteen
hours. The workmen will be taken
out on the last narrow gauge train
to cross the desert between here aud
Sodaville, and will be dropped along
the track at intervals of mile and
a half
The work has been divided into
sections, each covering the distance
named, and at a given signal the
various gangs of workmen will pro-
coed. As there is but one track to
move, it is estimated that the work
can be carried on to completion with.
out hindrance or delay.

"The electric power line from
Bishop, Cal, to Goldfield aud Tono.
pah runs through this property and
will probably be used to furnish the
power for hoisting.
Great possibilities repose be-
meath the shady trees OF the well
named ranch Oasis Of 5000 acres.
The opportunity is at hand to sup
ply the great camps OF Gold6eld,
Tonopah, Bullfrog, Aida, Silver
Peak and other districts with vege.
tables, garden truck, poultry, eggs,
dairy products, hay and beef. The
magnificent water rights and fertile
soil Of this ranch make it possible to
produce the best the market affords.
The wonder is that some bright
mind has not before this seen the op-
portunity to compete, with fresh
produce, against the stale cold stor-
age trucks, supplied at present at
great cost for freight transportation
from more distant points.
The present acreage under cul
tivation is less than seven hundred
acres; but even this small stretch
of ground furnished over $40, 600
worth Of alfalfa last season. The
two streams flowing from the White
Mountains to the ranch, furnish $50
inches of water each, and the level,
fertile ground makes it possible to
cultivate 3400 acres, which would
produce sufficient hay and ranch
truck to supply all the mining camps
OF southwestern Nevada Produce
might be delivered to Tonopah and
Goldfield by automobiles within a
few hours, thus making it possible to
supply the freshest truck in the
market.

fine silver, lead and copper ore was
showing but at this point fault
similar to those so common in the
mines of Tonopah, was encountered,
but as this condition has been en-
tirely overcome in the more thorough
ly developed mines, there is but lit
tie doubt of the same results at the
Anaconda.
South of the Anaconda is the Myers
& Murphy group which has recently
been sold to Boston Capitalists and
arrangements are now being made
for thorough campaign of develop
ment; the new owners are so conf
dent of the outcome of their proper
ty and also those near by that town
site has been plated and water pipe
line from springs higher up the noun
tain is one of the improvements now
contemplated. Mr.. Mcneil, the man
ager, is now in Boston for the pur-
pose of consulting the officers of the
company as to the feasibility of err
recting a smelter at the foot Of the
range below the Paymaster mine.
A meeting of the Monarch Mining
Company directors was held in San
Francisco August 5th and 1t is ex-
pected that work on this splendid
property will be resumed in the near
future.
The new bronch of the Toopah rail-
road to Goldfield, passes along the
eastern slope of Lone Mountain and
the haul to the road is but a few
miles from the mines and we predict
that before the winter is over, this
promising district will be making a
creditable showing in amount of ton
mage shipped, which will favorably
compare with the older and more
widely developed camps. With the in
cresed demand for lead and copper
and the constant advance in price
of these metals there is no reason why
Lone mountain should not become as
famous in its production OF lead and
copper as has Tonopah in its wonder
full returns of gold and silver.

LONE MOUNTAIN IS
A RICH DISTRICT
Mines Big Producers of Silver,
Lead and COpDer--SmeIters
To Be Erected.

OF the many mining districts sur
rounding Tonopah, none is attracting
more attention than Lone Mountain.
Several years ago considerable pros
pecting was done but when the wond-
erful discoveries were made in
Grandpa, since known as Goldfield,
this drew the hardy prospector and
miner to the more promising camp
where the glitter of free gold gave
evidence of making fortunes quicker
than he who sticks to the baser
metals.
Now that the erection of smelter
is but a question of time and that the
matter of water and electric power
has been solved, new thought is be-
ing given to silver, lead and copper
and it is safe to say that this fall and
winter will see more mines being ac-
lively developed and more prospect
ing done in the Lone mountain dis
trict, than at any time in its history.
The Nevada Alpine, owned by
Lynch e Omeara, is netting its
owners $4,000 monthly with a
greater ore reserve being blocked out
than is shipped. There is now a half
million dollars net in sight and on
the $50 level, ore disclosures are
larger and richer than at any place
in the mine. Just across the noun
tain to the south is the Big Limit
Mine owned by Wingfeld & Hennessy
which has several hundred tons of
silver-lead ore ready for shipment
upon the opening Of the railroad to
Goldfield. Development is being push
ed on this property and no doubt
shipments will be regularly made dur
ing the remainder of the year. Ad-
joining the Big Limit on the south is
the Anaconda -Tonopah, of which ].

FIRST TRAIN TO
COME in MONDAY
Ore Shipments and Supplies
Shut OFF but New Boom for
Camp is at Hand.

The first broad gauge train to run
into Tonopah will arrive here on
Monday morning. To perform this
feat requires no little skill and EN-
gineering and the achievement viii
be one Of which Chief Engineer
Richard Welch may well be proud of.
The last freight train went out OF
here on the narrow gauge track on
Wednesday, On that day the South
ern Pacific notified its patrons in
San Francisco that no more freigh t
would be received until Monday. So
for at least five days Tonopah has
been or will be shut off from supplies
from the outer world.
From the accounts received her 0
there will be no through train from
San Francisco into Tonopah until the
2Oth, at which time the Hazen cut
off will be completed. 1t is under
stood that the Southern Pacific can
not or will not run its trains over
the Virginia and Truckee road.
The last narrow gauge passenger
train will leave here at one o'clock
tomorrow morning. The locomotive
and cars will be run back TO Tonopah
and then at six o'clock the work of
broad gauging will be commenced.

order TO return the foreign equip
ment of the narrow gauge road to its
owners. The freight equipment of
the Tonopah Railroad Company will
be stored at Tonopah juno tion, while
the passenger equipment and all the
engines will be stored at Tonopah.
II IS estimated that the work of
broad gauging the 65 miles of rail.
road between here and Sodayile will
be completed by Monday morning,
50 that the broad gauge train may
come in at 4 o'clock at the worst.
Engineer Welch maintains, there
will not be delay Of more than five
or six hours.
