The Borax Smith Road

Forty men and fifty horses are
now grading on the Borax railroad
from Las Vegas toward Ash
Meadows, where a mountain of borax
owned by the Pacific Coast Borax
company awaits transportation, says
the Las Vegas age. The graders are
out about nine miles and Engineer
c. NJ. Rasor says the ties and rails
will quickly follow the graders. Over
ten thousand redwood ties have al
ready arrived, and superintendent
John Ryan Isl n Chicago rushing
the rails to the west.
Five miles out from this city on
the grade a good well of water has
been found at twenty feet, and an
other is being dug ten miles out.
Beatty and Rhyolite are praying
for this railroad to relieve them from
heavy freight rates.
It is likely that the building of the
road will not progress as rapidly as
the company desires during the sum
mer months, as the heat severely eff
fects both horses and men. Under
these conditions to increase the force
at present would be to increase the
percentage of lost energy.

an MAIN sTREET.

Tonopah has a good wide Main
street, but throughout the year, es-
pecially in the summer months it is
sWful dusty. OF late, an imitation
sprinkllng cart has done some good,
but it is entirely too small to give
sat isfactiory results. The only proper
way 70 lay the dust and keep 1t laid
Is to oil the street. Two oilings a
year would be sufficient and each oil
ing would not cost more than $500.
Pasadena. C%aliforoia, is a fine ex-
simple Of oiled streets and 1t costs
less TO treat them that way than to
sprinkle them with water. At present
II IS costing Ponopah over $1,000 a
month for ~sprinkling her principal
streets, which Is quito an item fol-
The taxpayer to consider. The mer.
Chants along Main street should ex.
anime into this matter and raise ;
fund for the oiling Of that thorough.
fare for they are the ones most dl
reetly interested. The county CON
m%issioners would. no doubt, lend ,
helping hand in such a worthy cause
IT is certainly worth the effort.

Brokers Like Tononah

The members of the San Francisco
Stock and Exchange Board, who were
guests of our fair city for several
days last week, reached home Sun
day, and they have devoted consider
able time since then in telling fel-
low brokers who were not fortunate
enough to make the trip, what a
grand time they had and what won

while in this section. The more they
related the more enthusiastic they
became, each and every one of them
saying he had the time of his life.
Maj. A, B. Ruggles, the president
of the Exchange Board, spoke, as fol-
lows about the trip: Il think the re-
ception we received in Tonopah was
the greatest ovation that was ever
rendered to a stranger in a
mining camp. No conceivable pleas
ure was omitted and all our thoughts
Of this trip must ever be of the pleas

ness of the treasures buried there.
In Tonopah there is enough in sight
to guarantee work for the next so
years. Goldfeld mines are not as
fully developed as those of Tono-
pah, and it may take another ten
years before they can fully estimate
the resources Of the mines there"
Nat Boas, also sings the praises
Of our great camp and he said: Eve
certainly had a royal reception and
couldn't have wished for anything
better. Our money must have look
ed like Russian bonds to the citizens
of Tonopah, for we couldn't spend
any of it. 1t was just one round of
continual enjoyment. The mines
are extraordinarily rich and the
marvel we saw under ground opened
the eyes of some of the boys. The
West End, Montana, Belmont, North

were in the charge of Donald Gillies,
and a more charming host You

FOLLOWING The FLAG.
How Trade With United States An
nexed Territory Has Grown.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The commerce
of the United States with its noncon-
tiguous territory in 1865, seems likely
to exceed by many million dollars that
of any preceding year, according to a
statement issued by the department of
commerce and labor through its bureau
of statistics. The bureaus nine months
statement ending with September shows
that the shipments from the United
states to its noncontiguous territory
amounted to $36,552, ia against $29, 929.-
0f9 in the corresponding months of the
preceding year and that the shipments
OF merchandise to the United States
from its noncontiguous territory in the
same period amounted to sec, $50, $50
against SAT, 141, 638 in the corresponding
months of the preceding year.
The figures given relate to merchan-
disc only and do not include the gold
and silver of which the shipments from
Alaska to the United States were only
$1,000, coo of gold produced in that terri
tory and $500, 900 of foreign gold ship
ped from Alaska being presumably that
originating in British territory adjacent
thereto. In the merchandise shipped
from Alaska to the United States there
is falling off of a little less than 81
100000 compared with the previous year.
In shipments from the United States
there was an increase of nearly 81. 000,-
600 to Alaska of over 5000, 900 to Porto
Rico, about 100000 to the Philippines
and nearly s1.000,000 to the Hawaiian is
lands.
In shipments from the noncontiguous
territory to the United States there was
an increase of about So 600. 600 from Porto
Rico, of over 81. 000,0 600 from the Philip
pines and Of about s12 200, 900 from the
Hawaiian islands. The statement makes
its comparison OF contrast in the trade
of the United States with the above
mentioned places with the same period
previous to annexation. In the nine
months ended September. 1897, the year
previous to the annexation Of Porto
Rico the shipments Of merchandise from
that island to tSe United States amount
ed to 81. 757, 02s as against $16.176.67e in
the nine months just ended. In the nine
months of 1897 the shipments from the
Hawaiian islands to the United States
amounted to s13044, 231, as against $685.
$50, 791 in 1905. The shipments from the
Philippines for the nine months of 1887
amounted to 1882, $50, as against ST.
492. 724 in 1905. Shipments to Porto Rico
from the United States ports 93r the
nine months of 1897 were 1,504, 974.

JACK ROOFS OPINION.
Thinks O'Brien win Win Over Fftz
in the Frisco Bout.

St. Louis, Nov. 24.-That Jack
O'Brien viii ever be heavyweight
champion fighter of the world is not
considered probable by Pugilist Jack
Root, who fought Marvin Hart for
the title relinquished by Jeffries IN the
memorable battle at Reno, New, with
Marvin Hart, and won by the latter
Root was seen last night, and when
asked regarding the outcome of the
championship battle between Fitzsina-
mons and O'Brien, slated for San
Francisco, said:
FL think O'Brien win surely win,
unless Fitzsimmons lands one of his
famous punches within the first FIVE
rounds. After that I do not see how
the venerable ex-champion can last.
He showed that he could not stand
training in his fight with Gardner. I
think he will be all through by the
time O'Brien's jabs have landed for
five or six straight rounds Fitz is,
or has been, grand fighter, but he
seems all through. I look for O'Brien
to stay away from him and win over
the distance route.
''As for Hart. that is another mat
