WORK STOPPED
President Smith Orders Bor'
ak Railroad Construc-
ton Off

Manager John Ryan of the Borax rail
road has carried out the instructions OF
President Smith and stopped construe-
ton on the grade, which is twelve miles
west of Las Vegas Mr.. Ryan says the
salt Lake railroad has charged prohibit
tive rates on ties and material necessary
in construction and forced them to seek
other connections. On ties the freight
amounts to Is cents each. About 12.OOO
ties are now on the ground.
Had no obstacles been thrown in the
way the Borax railroad would have
reached Ash Meadows this fall, and saw
ed the business Of the Bullfrog country.
Because of shorter haul freights will now

This hitch is unfortunate for Las Veg
as and it is hoped some concessions may
be made by the Salt Lake people which
will enable the BoraX railroad To resume
construction at an early date.

DESERT TRAGEDIES
Some Men Who Have Died

The Age will soon write history OF
some famous desert tragedies.
The Hancock ease has cost the county
of Lincoln so far 1000, and the end is
not vet. He is sentenced to be hanged
September Sth, but may get stay Of
execution, for new trial or appeal. His
life hangs on a slender thread. Hancock
is 81 years of age and has spent most Of
his manhood in prison.
About 100 murders have been COM
mittcd in this county since 1870 and
only one man, Hank Parish, has been
legally hung in expiation. He was tried
and hung at Ely in 1892 for murder
near Pioche.
Many have perished with their boots
on, n a long line OF graves in Murder
ers Row in the grave yard at Phoebe
shows Here thirty graves contain the
dust of men who died fighting, from
1870 tO 1874.
At Hike, the old county seat, in 1873
a Justice Of the Peace found a mar
guilty of murder and hanged him the

THE COUNTY DEBT

The county commissioners will prob
ably take steps at an early date to adj

csslly the only obligation, and the credI-
tors will probably compromise tor less

DISCRIMINATION
Higher Railroad and Passen-
ger Rates in Nevada
Than in Utah

The salt Lake folder contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1000 mile books, good in Utah only,
are on sale at principal stations in Utah
at rate of 5000.
In Utah round trip railroad tickets
inay be purchased on the Salt Lake,
but not so in Nevada. Ex-senator Dem
ton Of Caliente, informs The Age that
people from that town save five dollars
pn q trip TO salt Lake by buying ticket
from Caliente to Medina, Utah, and
there purchasing . round trip ticket.
From Moiya 10 salt Lake is 397 miles
and the passenger fare is $500. From
Moapa to Toe angeles is 3S3 miles and
the fare IL f1720 Thus it costs $2.20
more 10 20 to Los Angeles II miles less
than to Salt Lake. Why this discrim-
ination in favor of Salt Lake?
Bunkeryille is only - miles from
Moapa, Nevada, and 100 miles from Mo-
dena, Utah. The railroad 'liscriminatcs
in rates to such an extent against
Lincoln county that all the freight from
Bunkeryiile " hauled by wagon loo
miles to MOlena in Utah.
The car load freight rate ON flour per
hundred from Salt Lake to Calients 32j
miles ~ 81 cents. From salt Lake to
MoaIa, - miles further south, the rate
on -four is 80 cent?. Rates are doubled
rapidly when the railroad enters Nevada.
Lincoln county people must elect mem
bers to the legislature who will regulate
freight and passenger rates.
Passengers from PioclIe for salt Lake
stage forty miles to Modena in Utah
where they can buy round trip ticket
| and save five dollars, instead of going
via Caliente, where no round trip ticket
ran be purchased.
The coming session OF the Nevada leg
islature should enact reasonable pass
enger and freight law.
