NOT WORKING FOR GLORY.

In any case, salaries offer one of the

work for their country for the honor

that will take them out of its service.

Report comes from Chloride that

cessful. Heretofore miner could
make but twelve inches per shift
with a single jack. In three and
one half shifts one man with ham
mer drill drove III feet, another
over eight feet and third man the
same distance. More ground could
have been broken but the muckers
were unable to handle the dirt. 1t
is expected that during the month
more ground will be broken with a
small force of men than was broken
in three months heretofore with a
much larger force. The mine is
also improving greatly inIt the amount

to begin driving the cross drift,

RAILS OF SAN PEDRO ROAD
CONNECTED.
Last Spike Driven at Siding No 81.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan 30.-At
siding No 81, in the desert twenty
miles north of the California Nevada
state line, the last spike in the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad was driven at 3:15 O'Clock
this afternoon. Chief Engineer
Tilton was present in person to sup
erintend the laying OF the last rail,
but had it not been for the wife OF
General Manager Wells the affair
would have been without ceremony
of any kind. She had sent down
tiny golden spike from Salt Lake to
the chief ingineer. This Tilton fish
ed out of his vest pocket after
burly Greek laborer had sent the
last spike home, and with tack
hammer he sank it into the last tie
that had been put in place, and then
motioned to the construction train
to pass over it AS it did 80 the
Greeks and Austrians on the Nevada
end set up cheer, answered by a
whoop from the Mexicans who built
the California end of the road.
The little golden spike was then
taken up to be returned to Mrs.
Wells as a souvenir.
The lewiston completed today
consists of 299 miles of new con-
struction between the towns of
Caliente, New, and Daggett,a station
ON the Santa Fe in the heart of the
Mojave desert in California. For
eighteen months this construction
work was pushed from both ends,
and it was only today that the track
laying machines which were en-
ployed came together. There are
few short sections of the new track
which will have to be rebuilt before
the road will be opened to traffic,
but it is believed in a very short
time good time between Salt Lake
and Los Angeles can be made.
Much remains to be done, however,
in the way of providing water facili-
ties in the desert through which the
road runs for SO many miles, and
affording protection to the tracks
from cloudbursts and sandstorms
common to this region.
From Daggett to Riverside the
Salt Lake trains will run over the
Santa Fe tracks. From Riverside
to Los Angeles and San Pedro
harbor the Salt Lake company al
ready has a fine train service in
operation over its own excellently
built and well equipped road. Al
ready large amount of freight is
awaiting transportation here via the
Salt Lake route, and tremendous
energy is being manifested in devel.
oping the mineral and agricultural
resources of the country through
which the road runs. All indications
point to heavy traffic over the line
from the start.
The first through train from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles is expected to
arrive here some time next week,
when j. Ross Clark, second vice.
president of the road will make, the
initial over the entire route.
