1000 WOULD BUY
LAS VEGAS LOTS
SALT LAKE COMPANY DEL LUGED
WITH APPLICATIONS
TOWNSHIP is BEING SOLD
Officers Of the Road say Los Angeles
Is Leading the Mormon City In
the Race for New
Business

over 5000 applications for the pur-
chase of lots in the Salt Lakes Las
Vegas townsite had been filed at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon with Claim
Agent f. A. Waters and at that time
intending purchasers were still hll1ng
the company's office on the fifth floor OF
the Huntington building.
The townste, consisting of forty
blocks. has been divided into 1900 lots
and before the time for the filing of ap-
plications closes 1T is expected there
will be three purchasers for every foot
of land that the company wishes to
sell.
The lots are not sold to the highest
bidder but the cost of each lot IS
marked on the plat of the townsite,
and those who guarantee to make the
largest improvements on the land they
ask to purchase are given the prefer
ence in the sale.
Intending purchasers are here from
all over the United States, having in
most instances personally investigated
the townste and then continued their
journey to Los Angeles.
A large force of clerks was at work
on the applications Monday and yes
terday but so unprecedented has been
the demand that the clerks are far
behind in their work and it is not be-
lieved that the list of purchasers can
be made public today, as was adver-
tlsed in the prospectus.
Local Men Would Buy
Over one-half of the applications for
purchases have been received from Los
Angeles people, many individuals hav-
ing applied for half dozen lots.
Among the applications already gone
over one Individual has guaranteed to
erect $4,000 business block, and there
are fifteen different other persons who
say they will invest capital in similar
enterprises. Others have guaranteed
in their applications to put up build
ings for department stores, laundries,
grocery stores and all the other busi-
ness enterprises which go to make up
a modern city.
T. e. Gibbon, one of the directors,
said yesterday: THE sale has been a
most phenomenal one and from a
glance over the application for lots
take it that no mining town will have
blossomed into a modern city more
quickly than Las Vegas within the next
three months. Within that time l be-
lieve the city will triple in population.
1.-THE company has decided to erect
a $4,000 passenger depot, the construc-
tion of which will commence immedi-
ately. The engineering department is
now at work on plans for the system
to establish"
Directors of the company were elected
as follows: w. H. Bancroft, J. r.
Clark, c. o. Whittemore, H. I. Bettis,
T. E. Gibbon and w. H. Comstock,
all of whom are directors of the Salt
Lake road.
Officials of the freight department
say there are many car loads of freight
awaiting transfer to Las Vegas and
that Los Angeles merchants have far
surpassed those of Salt Lake in the
capture Of the business of that town.
The Salt Lake road has received
notice from the government that its
bonds to transport bonded merchandise
have been accepted and the road is
now in a condition to handle such ar
ticles either from the port of San Pc
Gro or from government warehouses

MAMMOTH SEA ELEPHANT.
Berlin Geological Garden Mounts the
Largest Specimen Ever
Known.

A new and interesting attraction at
the Berlin Geological garden is q
mounted specimen of a monster sea ele-
plant. 1t can claim the distinction Of
being the largest sea elephant that
has ever been killed.
II was found some 1S months ago
by whalers of the coast of the Fslk-
land islands. They promptly sur
rounded the monster and subsequent
ly slaughtered it-no easy tasK-and
the hide. with the raw skeleton, was
purchased at a high price by ]. F. G.
Umlauff.
Some idea Of the size of the monster
may be gagged from the fact that from
the tip of its tusk 1t has total meas
urement Of nearly 81 feet. Such an
animal, when alive, would weigh 10000
pounds, or nearly four and one-half
tons. The circumference OF the body
at its widest part is some IS feet. The
skull alone measures two feet three
inches long and one foot two inches
high.

like all his kind. He is about the bulk
Of hippopotamus. although more

ing Of the jaws. He holds among
seals the unique position of being com
mon to both hemispheres, although
from the ardor with which he has been
hunted, very few specimens now exist
north Of the equator.
Just now, however. the sea elephant
Is enjoying a respite and is conse-
quently increasing in numbers rapidly,
particularly in the southern seas. He
forms practically the only population
OF many an otherwise lonely series of
barren rocks in the Antarctic ocean.
His food consists chiefly, If not en-
tirely of cuttlefish. Formerly the ami
NAL was hunted by whalers upon all
the Islands of the Antarctic ocean,
notably Kerguelen's Land and the
South Shetland. where they abounded
in immense herds. The creatures were
slaughtered for their hides and blub-
Der.
The tusks of the male reach a length
Of four or five inches, their external
part being smooth and conica1. while
the part imbedded in the flesh IS fur
rowed and slightly curved. The tusks
OF the males are solid-at the lower
end only slight cavity appears-while
In the female they are shorter. and,
moreover. almost hollow up to the
point. Sailors and seal hunters are
fond Of using these hollowiteeth of the
females for pipe bowls, quilts from the
wings Of pelicans supplying suitable
stems for the pipes.

ESCAPED GUERRILLA BAND
Death of the Rev. 81. D. Fisher, Fa-
nous in EARLY Kansas History,
at Baldwin, Kan

Kansas City, Mo.-Rev. H. D. Fish
er, who died at Baldwin, Kan. was
one of the most famous characters pro-
duced by the trying days Of the border
warfare in Kansas and the subsequent
four years of civil war. Because of his
activity as a free-state man and his
association with United States Senator
Jim" Lane Mr.. Fisher was marked
by the Quantrell band, and his escape
from capture and death in the Law
renee massacre is one of the most
thrilling and remarkable incidents OF
that affair.
Fisher was one Of the few men who
ever refused a United States senator
ship. When Senator Lane committed
suicide Gov. Crawford announced his
intention OF appointing DR.. Fisher TO
fill the vacancy. Later DR.. Fisher said,
in relating his reasons for refusing the
offer: MY wife and ! laid the matter
before God Ia prayer. The decision
was against accepting the appoint
ment."
