WILL BUILD ROAD.

Articles of incorporation of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah Railroad company
have been filed in the office of the
secretary of state of Utah.
The purpose of the corporation is to
construct and operate a line of rail
roadfrom a point of connection with the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad at Las vegas, Nevada,
through the counties of Lincoln, Nye
and Esmeralda to the towns of Gold
field and Tonopah. Connections will
also be made with the mining camps Of
Bullfrog, Rhyolite and Beatty.
The incorporators or the company
are: William A. Clark of Butte,
Montana; r. C. Kearns of st. Louis,
Missouri; j. Ross Clark, R. J. Waters
and w. II. Comstock of Los Angeles,
California, and c. o. Whittemore and
Pennel Cherrington of Salt Lake, Utah.

GOOD SHOWING FOR NEVADA.

Nevada can find some pleasure in re-
viewing the report of Prof. Walter F.
Wilcox of Cornell University on the
statistics which have just been issued
by the census bureau in regard to
teachers, says the Elko Free Press.
A careful analysis of the report
shows that in 1900 Nevada had the
largest pr~oportionable number of
teachers in any state or territory.
Out of all the states in the Union
there was no other that had as many
teachers for a like number of pupils
as did this state of ours. Other places
had gained in the preceding ten years,
brit with all their increase they could
not equal the record of the old battle
horn state. Naturally Nevada will
find considerable pride in the an
nouncement.

Autoing by Rail Latest Mode of Trans
p~ortation on Nevada Desert.

Changes follow each other in rapid
metropolis and the most modern pat
terms are always in vogue here; this
applies equally to transportation faei:
tiles as well as to ladies garments, for
nothing is too modish or high in price
for the average Goldfeldite. In the
very early days of the camp the rumin.
ant burro was utilized as a means Of
transportation to and fro; later the
~diminutive father of the mule gave
place to the stage coach with it's six
mettlesome steeds; this was in turn
superseded by the automobile of
%nauseous smell and nerve racking toot;
next came the railway: and now comes
the railroad auto: and it almost seems
probable that before long the air ship
will heave in sight in the offing ON the
sky line. Automobiles, motor cycles
and aS.o boats may serve to ~exhilarate
the people of valley and coast, but We
of the greatest and best mining camp
OF earth derive our enjoyment by
scooting across the desert in railroad
auto ears. The experience is as yet
novel to us, but we like the pace and
the road bed and will rest content un-
til such time as an air line across the
milky way supplies Is with a new
sensation.
The first auto ear on the Goldfield
railroad went into commission last
Sunday morning and since that time
regular trips are being made between
this city and Tonopah, twenty-five
miles distant. The car carries nine
passengers and a sign reading .'Stand
ing room only on each of it's daily
trips, and the distance is covered il
an hour and a half, which in the par
lance Of the renowned Mr.. Scott, 'si'
goin some" At present but one cal
is being utilized, but the railroad Of
~icials promise to go US one better IL
the real future. Following is the
traffic schedule:
The car leaves Tonopah at 10 a. M
arriving in Goldfield at 1880 a. m
Returning it leaves Goldfeld at IL M.
arriving in Tonopah at l:30 p. m
Leaving Tonopah at 2 p. m, it arrives

ELECTRICITY HAS A L

Motors and HOSTS.


With the advent into the motive
power field of the Nevada Electric
Power company the gasoline engines
at mines and mills will soon be rele-
gated to the scrap heap and in their
places will be installed electric hoists
and motors of the latest pattern. AL
ready a number of the larger mining
and milling. companies have let TON
tracts for electric machinery and
others are preparing to do so in the
near future.
At the Combination mine a 50.horse
power electric hoist is to be installed
and a plant of like capacity has also
been ordered by the Florence man
agement. A 20-horse plant will soon
furnish motive power at the Combina-
tion Fraction, and other companies are
likewise arranging to supersede their
gasoline plants with electric motors.
The Goldfeld Reduction company, Com
bination mill, Frank mill. Gardner mill
and the plant of the Columbia Samp-
ling and Ore company, are also to be
equipped in like n Five motors
will be installed at the Combination
mill, five at the Gardner and three at
the Frank plant.

Capitalists Of East Harken to the Cry
and Are Coming 70 ooldheld.

anu ALe COuuluk W 0otuuctu-
The call of the Nevada desert has
penetrated to the classic precincts OF
the east and the moneyed men Of that
section and the middle west have
hardened to its marvellous tale of adj
venturous Argonauts and gold laden
argosies. 1t is a story well worth the
telling and is finding willing listeners
among the capitalists of those sections.
T. A. Lucy, a prominent mining en-
gineer of Goldfeld, has just returned
to camp from a six weeks visit in
Denver, Chicago and Michigan points.
He states that he found the residents
of those localities favorably impressed
with the mining conditions of this Sec
tion and predicts an influx of capital
from there in the near future. In
speaking on the subject to a reporter
for the News today Mr.. Lucy said:
During my eastern trip l found
the residents of the localities I visited
very favorably impressed with the
present conditions and future posi-.
bilities of the Southern Nevada coun-
try and of Goldfeld in particular.
Many of the monied men there are
fairly well posted on the camp and are
inclined to consider it the best mining
section thus far recorded. In Denver
the feeling is one of optimism. The
Colorado people have been given the
double-cross so many times by fake
promoters that one can hardly blame
them for being doubting Thomases.
Still the prejudice against Southern
Nevada is rapidly disappearing and
where once almost the entire investing
public was prone to seoff at this Sec
ton there is now a rapidly increasing
class that has become thoroughly i'm
bued with the value of Goldfeld mines.
The members of this class have the
courage of their convictions and are
making investments in this locality.
"In Chicago, Milwaukee and other
Michigan points | visited, the men
with money are almost a unit in their
appreciation of the mineral POSSIBLE
tiles of Southern Navaaa, and now that
the railroad has made it possible to
travel to the camps with comfort ] an
ticlpate that a number of capitalists
from those sections will arrive here
before long. When they come they
will be here for the purpose of making
investments and their advent cannot
but add to the general prosperity of
the Goldfeld and other mining dis
tricts. The farther east one goes the
more prevalent is the sentiment in
favor of Southern Nevada, and it is
the sort of sentiment which is followed
by the investment of money and the
development of mining property. In
the far east the public is just awaken
ing to the vast opportunities for large
