NORTHERN LINES
ADDING FASTER
HAVE DOUBLED FREIGHT CARS IN
TEN YEARS.
Roads Traversing Southern Minnesota
Have Not Added to Rolling Stock at
the Same Rate, and Heaviest Com
plants Of Car Shortage Are Coming
from That Section.

w. E. Young Of the state railroad
commission made a little investigation
Of the records today, bearing on the car
shortage situation. Ho took the last
statements as to equipment, made at
the end of 1904, and compared them
with those Of 1894. -
The comparison showed that while all
the roads have been adding heavily to
their rolling stock, the northern lines
have been adding engines and freight
cars much faster than the roads that
traverse southern Minnesota. The
comparison was made taking the four
lines with the largest mileage in the
state, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern in the northern part,
and the Milwaukee and North-W estern!
in southern Minnesota. It shows that
in the ten years the two northern lines
added so per cent to the number Of
their locomotives, and doubled the num-
Der of their freight cars. In the same
time. the two southern roads increased
locomotive equipment only 26 per cent,
and freight cars only SO per cent. The
comparative statements, taken from the
companies report to the commission,
are as follows. ..

The total .mi1eage Of the four systems
IS given in the 1904 reports as follows:
eernF Pacific, 5,59s.91; Milwaukee, $500;
North Western, 1873. In proportion to
their mileage, the northern roads still
have smaller equipment than the
southern ones, but they traverse more
sparsely settled territory. The present
car situation shows that none of the
roads have equipment enough to care
FOR the fall business, but the worst COM
plants have come in from the southern
counties.

gold in Spaulding canyon. They say that
everything in the Tonopah country has

sooner take their chance of finding a
mine in Humboldt than in wasting their
time nthe Tonopah section.
Spaulding canyon has been a good gold

a good deal and was being worked as a

one of the Chinks up and when his COM

At present eight men, under Supt. Mich

is being hauled down the steep grade by
from two to four four-horse teams daily
There is an immense quantity OF the
stuff and 1t is easily obtained. lying az
1t does on the surface. The worst part
of the work is getting it to town down
the almost precipitous mountain side.
However. the local livery men are to un-
dertake the job and their teams are
earning SIS per day at 1t.
The smelter at Brigham. Utah, takes
all of the Vulcan rock they can get and
asks for more SO far eighteen carloads
have been shipped and there is no limit
to the supply. Another carload goes east
today. While it is not a gold mine, 1t is
a paying proposition all the same.

A SURPRISE

Elias Jones

This morning. while Mr. Jones team.
hauling iron ore from Winnemucca noun
tain, was resting on Bridge street for
minute or two, a crowd gathered to in
spect the ores, and while doing SO a pair
of ladies' Chinese slippers was dscov-
cred on his load. AS young married
Chinese lady has been missing for the
last few days. suspicious are now aroused
in the celestial kingdom that this lady Is
in hiding in Winnemucca mountain and
Mr.. Jones was bringing her slippers down
to have them repaired. All questioning
of Mr.. Jones proved nothing, as he was
as silent as an oyster regarding where he
got them and what he is going 60 do with
them. Several celestial detectives are
now stationed in different parts of Winne-
mucca, keeping an eye on every move
ment of Mr.. Jones.
There is a large reward out for this
lady. same being quoted by most any
one. The advice from a friend to Mr..
Jones is that he had better reveal the
whereabouts of this lady. draw. down his
reward and let peace reign again in the
Winnemucca celestial kingdom.

j. A. Blossom, who, together with John
w. Abel, owned it at the time of his
death. Mr.. Abel has done the assess
ment work for the past three years with
out any help from Mr.. Blossoms heirs
Mr.. Abel ran a tunnel into the hill for
distance of 26 eject and did it with no
help from Mr.. Blossom. The business
between Mr.. Abe and the BBloss om
ably will be before many months and
the old mine may yet prove to be of great
value. There is considerable prospect
work being done in the Fish Creek range
and the people of Humboldt may not be
surprised to hear of a good mine being
uncovered any day, for the wealth is here
and only awaiting the right stroke of the
pick to prove to the world the truth of
what the Silver State has always con-
tended, that Humboldt will be the sctne
of great mining activity very soon.
ANOTHER MINE.
The Blue Iced mine. situated in Blue
Iced canyon. in tht south end of the
Mount Tobin range of mountains, is an
old property to which a United States
patent has been issued. For many years
it has been left alone, the owners feeling
safe with United States patent in their
pocket and knowing that it was theirs
whenever they saw fit to claim it. About
two years ago one Borland leased 1t and
is now working 1t and it is said that
new discoveries have been recently made.
Borland and his partner have just taken
a load of provisions to the mine and
from indications they are well satisfied
