respective Elec-
trio Railroad.

A move is on foot to establish
an electric railroad from Wabuska
up through Mason Valley, and
very likely on Southwest to Bodie.
The move was started this week
by the location of a water power
site FIVE miles in length on the
East Walker River in the canyon
between the Joe Mathews and
Henry Boerlin places. The site
selected is one of the finest on the
river and the company which is to
be formed to inaugurate this en-
terprise estimates that water pow
er sufficient to generate between
1000 and 5000 horse power can
be obtained the year round.
The people who propose to or
ganize this company, which will
OC AhO"u do tnC EdSl w din CI
River Electric Light & Power Co.,
are residents of San Jose, Cal.
Mr.. c. w. Fancher, a San Jose
capitalist who is at the head of
the project, Thomas Harris, also
of San Jose, and T. B. Gambel, a
mining man with headquarters at
San Jose, visited the power site
and the neighboring mining count
ry this week and returned to Cali
fornia Thursday. This was Mr..
Fancher's first visit to Nevada,
and while he was somewhat taken
back by the apparent lack of en-
terprise in this section he admitted
that the possibilities for all kinds
of enterprises are unsurpassed.
He stated that it would proba-
bly, be impossible for his company
to get into working shape before
next Spring if they concluded to
do business after deliberately con-
sidering the proposition.
1t is not only the intention of
this company to etablish an elec-
trio road but to furnish electric
ity for light and power in the
camps within a radius of a hun
dred miles or more of the genera
ting plant.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-11-11

The TIMES has frequently, in
the past four years, called the at
tention of the public to the feasi-
bility of constructing an electric
plant on either the East or West
Walker River for light and power
purposes in this section, but not
until lately has the question arisen
of building an electric railroad to
Bodie. In the past we have main
tanned that an electric line of road
from Wabuska to the upper end
of Mason Valley would be a pay
ing investment for any company
which would build it. Such road
would pay now better than ever
before, and with its construction
the country would develop much
more rapidly.
The mining outlook in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Mason Valley
is very bright, and next season
there will undoubtedly be quite a
little boom in the copper mining
industry. At the present time the
development of mining properties
in this section is backward owing
to the high price it costs to get
machinery, fuel, ETC., into the
country, and progress is slow.
Within the past year the new
camp of Masonic has sprung into
existence, old Aurora has taken
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-11-11

on new life, Bodie is looking bet
ter than for years past, and there
is much activity on the East
Walker River in the Mount Grant
district. All these conditions
argue we'll for railroad which
will put freight into the country
at fair rate of transportation.
The mining industry is not the
only one which demands railroad
facilities. Mason Valley is great
agricultural section, where the
finest of all kinds of products can
be raised. She is good beef, hog
and sheep-producing section, and
can supply the wants of all these
camps, and some more, when the
conditions arise for her to do it..
Those conditions are coming about
rapidly. The town of Yerington
is growing; next year will see
many more buildings in course of
construction, and an electric power
plant could secure considerable
business in the way of lighting
the town. The mines will need a
cheaper power than coal or gaso-
line; an electric plant would fur
nish it. The time is at hand for
the farmers to install pumping
plants for their ranches; with a
small motor on each ranch and a
centrifugal pump an electric line
would supply the cheapest power
known. All these things are close
at hand. 1t only needs someone
with energy and progressive
spirit to start the ball rolling;
someone with means who is not
afraid to give his money chance
to do some good for the country;
someone who will not wait for
everybody else to make the start.
With an electric railroad
through this valley, to connect
Bodie with Wabuska, there would
be no question of which route
would be used to deliver freight to
Bodie. Bodie would be able to get
her freight for about one-half the
price her merchants are now pay
ing, and there would be little de-
lay. San Francisco freight, which
is now on the road to Bodie for
thirty days or more, could be de-
livered over the new route in
from six to ten days. The fulfill
ment of all these conditions would
make of Mason Valley the great
est home-building section in the
State.
In view of these circumstances
it would be we'll for Mason Valley
Landowners to consider the ad-
vantages of the proposed improve
ments and see what they could
afford to do in the way of grant
ing a right of way through their
ranches should the proposed deal
for a road go through. 1t would
facilitate matters for the company
could it know just what it might
expect in this line when the work
is started. The advantages which
would be received by every land
owner in this valley, should a
railroad be built, would, we should
think, warrant them in giving a
free right of way across their land
the same as the people of Hum
boldt county are doing with the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-11-11

Too Thick for the Faithful in North

Pigs, goats and feas are the subject
OF proposed legislation by the general
assembly Of North Carolina. In Pitt
county churches appear to have been
erected on a plan that puts the floor
several feet above the ground, with
openings between the pillars Hogs
and goats have sought the convenient
shelter of this space, until the soil on
which the churches stand has become
one part sand and two parts fleas. In
consequence religious services have
been broken up and congregations dis
missed from worship at very inoppor-
tune times with alarming frequency.
The nuisance has become SO great
that the members of the general as

duced bills to require owners of hogs
