discussed before the public land~
committees of the senate and
house.
Statements have been made
showing that a square mile i

interesting argument was made
last FRIDAY before the house
committee by Representative
Mondell of Wyoming, chairman
OF the house irrigation commit
tee, in which he took decided
ground against any hasty legis-
lation on this subject.
Congress passed a law on
this question last session includ-

careful Investigation OF its re-

Mr.. Mondell stated that he
had made four or five long rail

WILL SINK DEEP SHAFT.

Sol Camp, superintendent OF the
National Bank, says that it is the in
~tention of the company to sink a shaft
to II depth of 1000 feet. With the in
s~tallation of the gasoline hoist, which
arrived last week, work will be re-
sumed in the shaft and pushed with all
possible speed. There are three places
upon or near the surface where rich
ore has been opened. One streak is
from eighteen inches to three feet wide
and assays from ST to $500. A rich
streak, three and one-half feet wide,
opened in the shaft will average $3.50.
Near the blacksmith shop, about 100
feet from the shaft, there is an lS-lnch
streak that shows an assay of more
than 5000. On this showing an in
cline shaft will be sunk to follow the
ore, which is near the hanging wall OF
the big vein. Various bonanza assays
have been secured from the workings
here and there. On the Big Strike
claim of the National Bank group a
tunnel has been run so feet on milling
ore. The ledge on this property is from
200 to 800 feet in width. The group
Of three claims will soon be patented

J. NJ. Beck and Eugene Ring. well
known Goldfield promoters, together
with George +. Beveridge and f. Nor

their headquarters at Rhyolite. They
made the rounds of the mines, includ-
ing the Original Bullfrog. National
Bank, Denver, Montgomery Shoshone
and others. Mr.. Beveridge is "a well
known mining man who has had extern
sive operations in Mexico as well as in
the states. Mr.. Clark is a mining en-
gineer and will remain here for some
time. Messrs. Beck and Ring are in
terested in the Teddy group, the west
extension of the Original Bullfrog.

ToNoPAH AND TIDEwATER.
Railroad Will Cut Freight Rates More
rnan Half.

The DeSerct News or Salt Lake says:
Work was commenced on the Tonopah
and TideWater railroad at Las Vegas
this morning. The camps have been
temporarily located east OF town and
the officials have heen r~uStling for men
and teams with which to do the work.
Two circulars have been printed. one
asking for 200 tcamstcrS and graders
for the T. & T. K. r.. to apply on the
Buel tract. or at the Office of the COM
pany. The other is for circulation on
the outside and reads: Nanted-A
Las Vegas, Nevada, 200 graders and
teamsters for Tonopah and Underwater
railroad. Good wages and long job
This is the BoraX Smith road, though
there are two in contemplation; this Is
the first to commence actual cOnStruc-
tion and with no preliminaries other
than to 90 right at it. The road will be
pushed to completion just AS fast as
time and money will do it..
The name of the new railroad is sig
nifcant: "Tonopah and Tidewater,'
which means a ride of only II hours
from Beatty to Los Angeles.
1t is generally conceded that a spur
will be run to Ladd mountain for the
| accommodation of the mines in the vi
entity of Rhyolite. The elevations,
however, will force the main line up to
the Amargosa river valley to Goldfield
via Beatty.
The new railroad means lower freight
rates on lumber and supplies to our
mining camps and better facilities for
shipping ore out to the smelters. 1t
guarantees the development of mines
and prospects which high freights have
heretofore retarded. An era of pros
perity is at hand. Beatty and adjacent
camps will o o feel the advantage of
lower freight. Cheap lumber. mining
machinery and supplies will tell the
story. Transportation facilities will put
new life in the mining camps.
Beatty will receive especial benefits,
being IN the easy route to Goldfeld,
where water can be had free and in
abundance. Railroads always seek
good grades and water. Note the Sc
lection OF Las Vegas by the Salt Lake
railroad because OF the abundant water.

INTERSTATE BRANCH STUDIO
OF the Western Conservatory Of Mu-
sic-steinway Hall, Chicago.

The Salem branch Of the Western
Conservatory of Music, of Chicago, will
be opened September 1st, in room 3 of
the Gray block by the local representa-
tive, Frank Z. Churchill, B. M.
The Western Conservatory is the only
regular college Of music in the United
States offering helpful cooperation
with capable private teachers and their
pupils at home by allowing them to be-
come part Of the institution.
During the past ten years nearly 100
hundred branch studios Of the con.
servatory have been established
throughout the West, all of which are
in successful operation.
Mr.. Churchill, who has charge Of the
Salem studio, is one Of the most sue.
cessful pupils of this great eonserva.
tory, and his work is recognized by
competent musicians as of the high.
est order. Pupils win receive his most
painstaking care, and can depend upon
results, such as many more pretentious
teacbers could not undertake to CON
vey.
Among the special advantages of this
institution might be mentioned the fol.
lowing:
l. Pupils who become members Of
the conservatory class in any branch
studio are enrolled upon the register
at Chicago by means of matriculation
cards. ms Conservatory Interstate
pupils"
2. They are assigned to a regular
grade in the course of study, accord.
