Angeles People Favor Railway
From Here to That City

Los Angeles People Favor Railway
From Here to That City
Los Angeles people have awakened
to the many advantages that would
accrue to them by the construction Of
a railroad from Goldfeld to Bullfrog
and from there on to that city by mo-
dunn Of the "Borax" Smith, or the
Clark railways, and are boosting the
project in every possible way. Mr.. J.
p. LOTUS, the well known mining man,
who recently returned to camp from
the southern metropolis of California,
states that the scheme is advocated by
all the prominent business men at that
point and that many of them are pre-
pared to further such an enterprise
with financial support.
With the continuation of the rails
of the local road to Bullfrog, and con-
~nection with either the Clark or Smith
roads. the run from Goldfeld to Los
Angeles could be made in IA hours,
thereby cutting in two the time to tile
water in California at present made By
way Of Reno to San Francisco. Such
a plan would be of i~ncalculable benefit
to southern California points and 20
Los Angeles in particular, as it would
make that city the supply point for the
entire southern Nevada mineral area
as against its strong rival, San Fran
cisco.
Saving in time, always an essential
factor in the transportation of freight,
could not but accrue to the advantage
of Los Angeles, for delay in the arrival
of goods to the various camps of this
section has always been an annoyance
and an expense to it's mining and busi-
ness men. Then again, Mr.. Clark is
preparing to erect a large smelter AT
San Pedro and with its completion III
ducements would doubtless be thrown
out for the mine managers to ship
their product to that point; one of the
strongest of which would probably be
the shorter haul for their product, $50
miles, thereby reducing materially the
expense now entailed in getting it 20
market.
By such an outlet the vast fruit cou
try of southern California would BE-
come directly tributary to Goldfel1
and the other mining sections of the
desert, and vegetables, fruit and other
produce of a perishable nature could
be freighted in here with a rapidly
that would assure it's arrival in at least
a fair state of preservation. Goldfeid
merchants would not be slow in taking
advantage of the opportunities thus at.
forded for securing supplies at less
arduous freight rates and the attend.
ant feature Of quicker delivery.
Mr.. LOTUS reports that Los Angeles
people are not alone conversant with
the benefits of a railway project such
as has been outlined, but that they are
also fully apprised of the opportunities
which Goldfeld offers for profitable
mining investment. A number If
prominent and wealthy residents of
that city have already secured hold
ings of that character in the camp aud
Mr.. Lotus states that further capital
from there is now available for the de-
velopment of mineral acreage here.

WHY HILL BECAME
RESIDENT OF n. Y.
HE DESERTED ST. PAUL TO HELP
HIS MERGER CASE.
And, Taking House on Fifth Avenue,
He Let the Tax Man Assess Him for
a Million-When the Court Proved
His Move Futile He Abandoned
Gotham.

The secret is out as to why James j..
Hill permitted himself to be listed in
the New York city directory as q resi-
dent Of that city and placed 81 100000
in assessments against himself on the
tax rolls Of Gotham.
Mr.. Hill was carrying out the plans
OF the Northern Securities company and
furthering the interests of that merger
in its attempt to prove non-residence OF
all it's officers in Minnesota, in addition
to the fact that it held no property in
the gopher state.
The state of Minnesota was trying
to get service on the big corporation.
Mr.. Hill previously went to New York.
and to establish the fact that he was
a resident Of New York and not of st.
Paul, he deserted his magnificent brown
stone home on Summit avenue for 9
somewhat less pretentious residence on
Fifth avenue, and listed his big assess
ment to give further proof of his legal
| residence.
Mr.. Hill, however, had his pains fol
| nothing. The court ultimately ruled
that service could not be had by the
| state Of Minnesota thru one Of its
courts on the Northern Securities com
pany if the company held no property
In that state, no matter whether one
of it's officers (Mr. Hill was PRESIDENT
resided within its boundaries or not.
Following this ruling, Mr.. Hill de
serted New York, withdrew his $1,000,

as soon as he could, and once moro be

laughs as usual out Of the attempts Of
the amateurs to display their budding

fright and retired before she had
reached the chorus. Another girl, an

be coaxed on the stage. A boy club
swinger, Roy Clark, opened the bill,
and was followed by another juvenile,
Harry Chapple, who had a smile that
was good for a round Of applause when
ever he worked it. r..
Miss Mona Anderson had the self
possession of a professional and gave
the audience surprise. She sang two
ballads with a voice that was sweet
and sympathetic. She invited the au-
dience to joint in the chorus on the
encore and there was a ready response.
The brothers Dean, two boys with won.

really difficult. J. Tracey Young SANG
