ORR MINING BILL
Some Objections to That Meas.
ure Becoming a Law

Rebel Creek. New, Feb IA 1905.
Editor Silver State:
| hope you will publish a few objections
to the bill introduced In the present leg
islature which would limit the number Of
mining claims within a radius of three
miles to five. This is bill which should
be turned down for the following rea-
sons:
A man should be allowed to hold as
many claims as he is willing to do the
required work on. If he does not do the
work the law already provides that he
shall lose them.
A good mining claim is safer II entirely
surrounded by other claims, an 1t pre-
vents the owner from suffering from
blackmailers who would take up the ad-
join e ground and throw his prop er y
into litigation. hoping to profit from his
work. should he develop 1t.
Again, a person might own five claims
and discover other prospects well worth
developing. but he would have to dr. op
the first discovered claims, and yet wish
to hold them. He would hardly care to
give away his knowledge. consequently
valuable mines might be left unknown
and undeveloped for years or Until he
could dispose of the first claims
Also the law would seem to CONFLICT
with the United States laws on the sub
ject, in which case it ,uld be invalid
anyway.
We hope that the Hum ,otit county
members will all vote a.nst the meas
ure, as 1t is one TO work honest miners
and Ieople who. Try to profit
by others labor. MINER

Freight Line Via Austin and

Believing that they can compete sue
cessfully with the transportation lines
running out of Goidfield and Tonopah, a
number of San Francisco parties have
formed a company to carry ores from
Goldfield to Battle Mountain on the main
line of the Southern Pacific, by way of
Austin. where shipments are to be load
ed on the Nevada Central railway, the
Lander county feeder to the Southern
Pacific. which runs from Battle Noun
tain, about 100 miles to the southwark,
terminating at Austin.
Austin is 125 miles due norlh of Gold
field. on air line, but in spite of this
enormous distance the freight company
says that it will be able to carry ores al
rate that will meet that now offered
by the railroad lines which run into Reno.
representative of the San Francisco
company is now I'm Goldheld and has
made several contracts with shippers
who are willing to try tie experiment, as
they say that at present they are unable
to get their ores to the reduction works
only after long and tiresome delays.

MAGNETIC TRACTION
New Device For Locomotives
to Do Away With Sand


General Manager Langford of the sal
Lake and Los Angeles route is preparing
for test on his road of a device which
1t Is believed by the master mechanics O.
several great railroads, will prove of -
great value to the railroads as the inven
| ton of the Westinghouse air. brake, not
only as an additional safeguard against
accidents. but as a money saver
The device is known as the magnetic
traction equipment and to descr be tn
invention briefly is to say that it is an
application of magnetism to the wheels
of an electric car or locomotive in such
way as to magnetic the wheels and
make them cling to the track, not only
increasing the drawing capacity, but Civ
ing complete control over the car or To-
comotive and doing away entirely with
the use of sand BY its use a motorman
can control a car as well on a wet and
slippery track as on a dry one. 1t is
claimed by the company owning the pat
ents that cars equipped with IL can be
operated on grades hitherto considered
impossible: can be stopped in the middle
of an incline, either ascending or descend
ing as easily as on level ground, and
then started up or down at the will of
the motorman at any desired speed
The equipment consists of an elec ro
magnet. The contact wheel OF he device
and the wheel of the car from the posi-
tive and negative poles of a magnet with
the track rail completing the arrnature
the principle is the same as that Of a
horseshoe magnet with the difference that
while the ordinary magnet Is always
charged, this magnet is only charged
with power when in use and is controlled
by switch.
The invention has been adopted by the
Metropolitan street car system of Kan
sas City and the New York Central ex-
poets to equip thirty locomotives for
which the contracts have already been
let. The invention will prove of special
benefit on the Salt Lake and Los Angeles.
where the salt from the marshes getting
on the rails renders necessary the use
of a great deal of sand

size of an ordinary electric car, is on ex
hibition at the company's offices In Salt
Lake, III. +. Brown. one of The directors
of the company, owning the patents, q d
who represents it in the west, said the
consensus Of opinion among master me-
chanics of numerous railroads, who had
inspected the device, is that 1t will revo-
lutionize railroadlng. MIR. Brown stated
hat the use of sand cost the combined

Mining Boom Has Reached That
Section of the State

Editor Silver State:
The wave Of mining prosperity that has
struck Nevada appears about to have
reached our district. Mr. j. w. Fergu-
son, accompanied by Messrs. Parker,
Rood and Mitchell arrived here last
week for the purpose Of examining the
Wild Deer and other mining properties
belonging to Mr.. Ferguson, with the ul-
innate purpose of Incorporating a COM
pany and establishing a plant at the
mines. The gentlemen appeared pleased
with the result of their inspection and
say there Is little doubt of favorable
result, We have also learned that min
ing men from Portland. Oregon, and
Idaho are only awaiting warmer weather
when they will come here to look at
other property in the district. The claim
made for our mineral wealth, that the
surface has been barely scratched yet,
applies well to this district, which ex-
perienced mining boom years ago, when
the Ohio mine was discovered; but re-
Gently assays from rock which old pros
pectors considered worthless showed high
values In gold, and we can confidently
look forward to this section to produce
many gold mines. Other parties here
contemplate opening up placer claims in
hitherto unexplored part of the dis
trict, which promises very favorable re-
suits.

NEW HAVEN THEATER

Fighting Fate" is entitled a life drama of to-day, and in this the au- thors have made a correct representa- tion. Fighting Fate" was presented at the New Haven theater last night to an audience of considerable propor- tions, bearing in mind the indictment weather, and it is certain that all pres ent enjoyed the offering to the fullest extent. The play is in four acts and numerous scenes, and brings forth story of great strength and interest. The villainous efforts of an unprinci- pied scoundrel to do away with young man dnd his sister in order to secure money left them by their murdered father form the basis of the plot. Anne Blancke, charming little woman, es- says the dual role of brother and sister, and was very acceptable. As Larry Steward, the jockey, she made a fine impression, and her heroism at the close of the first act was applauded to the echo, The scene of a horse race at Sheepshead Bay, where it was planned to accomplish the y1purder of Larry, was extremely excitihgH One could al- most believe himself present at the track and actually witnessing the race. The other members of the company were very good, and the specialties in- troduced during the progress of the play were generously encored.
 Fighting Fate" will be repeated to- night and tomorrow night and at the matinee tomorrow.
