TOWN SITES GALORE
Bull Frog District is Crowded

The Bullfrog district is as thickly
strewn with towns as New England
forest is with leaves in autumn. There
are half dozen struggling sites for fu-
ture cities claiming the attention of the
newcomer. each offering its peculiar in
ducements.
Beattys at the present time is in the
lead, but the general impression is that
Amargosa will be the future metropolis
of the Death Valley country. The former
offers free wood and water ito prospec-
tors, and horse feed at nominal figure.
On the other hand, Amargosa offers a
postoffice. a telephone and has the Dep
uty Recorders office.
Bullfrog also asserts that 1t is the only
townsite worthy of consideration. 1t
has population of fifty people, all loyal
and true to the town of their choice
Bonanza, at Clark. Benson and Ladd' S
mine, gives promise of greater things.
Amargosa, although promoted by the
above firm, is three miles distant from
their mining property and the nine hun

SENATOR HARDIN
ON YER|NCT0N
Says Nevada's Commissioner
Was Most Popular Man
on the ground

State Senator G. II. e Hardin was in
Winnemucca yesterday, having just re-
turned from Quin river. He is right fresh
from filling a Commissioners seat as a
member of the Board from Nevada. When
questioned about the exposition at st.
Louis Mr. Hardin said that no man living
was entitled to more credit than Hon.
James A. Yerington, who was the chief
at the st. Louis Exposition. Mr. Hardin
said that Mr.. yerington was the most
popular of all the Commissioners at the
great exposition; that he was at his post
early and late. laboring for the upbuild-
ing of Nevada. and that all the published
stories about extravaganza in the man
agement of Nevadas affairs at the
He said that the State could not have
selected a man within her borders that
would have made the State as many
friends as ''our Jim" He said further
that all the stories published about Mr..
Yerington were base lies. and that he
considered Mr.. Yerington as among the
ablest men who could have been selected
to represent Nevada at the great exposi-
tion Mr.. Hardin said that Nevada. in
the Agricultural Department, got away
with eight gold medals five silver med
ais and two bronze medals. The Mining
Department got away with several med
ais, and he seems to be well satisfied
with Nevada's work at the exposition.
He says it wlil be the means of bringing
much money into Nevada.

road are on their way to Tonopah
Nine miles of broad gauge grading have
been completed. AS soon as the engines
arrive the steam shovel. now lying at

General Manager Alonzo Tripp says
that there are e55 standard gauge cars at
Reno, Sparks and other stations on the
broad gauge line, waiting to have their
consignments transferred to the Tono-
pah line. The blockade will not be en-
tirely raised until the broad gauge line
into Tonopah is completed, which. he
says, will be at least five or six months

GOVERNMENT
WANTS HORSES
ares Will Be Taken For War
Purposes For the First
Time

DIR. Price, the veterinary surgeon, with
headquarters at Reno has been appoint
ed as inspector for the Government in se-
curing a lot of horses for service in the
Philippines. The instructions came yes
terday and were a surprise to the doctor
ness.
number of notifications have been
allowed which are out of the usual.
Probably the most striking feature of the
new order is that the Government will
accept mares, and in fact a majority OF
them in the consignment that is to be
forwarded. 1t has always been the belief
that mares diu not make good animals
to rough 1t and stand fire. The war in
the islands has proven to the contrary.
in the fact that the mares nave stood IN,
climate better and in every respect given
better service than the geldings.
Another item in their favor is that
when rendered unfit for service by acci
dent they can be turned into the breedin,
farms and be of service in this respect. At
has been found that by crossing the
American horse with the horses of the
islands that a very serviceable horse is
produced.
The order calls for LOGS animals; 72l
mares. 357 geldings and Is artillery
horses. The animals may range in size
from 141z hands 10 Is hands 2ha inches;
weight from s25 ito 1o7b pounds. This is
q more liberal allowance than has ever
before been proposed.
Another item worth mentioning is the
fact that the range horses of Nevada
! have stood the ordeal In the Philippines
<tter than any class represented. From
this fact Nevada is called upon to fur
nish as many horses of the specified kind
as possible.
DIR. Price will quote prices to those in
terested and make examinations of the
stock up to January 9th, when the ship
ment will be made.

WANT TONOPAH STOCK
New York Brokers Offer to Buy
the Whole Thing

A circular letter has been sent to the
citizens of Tonopah during the past few
days from Weir Brothers & Co. of New
York, stating that If 81 per cent of the
common stock of the Tonopah Mining
Company can be secured the brokers are
willing to pay the holders $3.50 share.
says the Tonopah Sun.
If the majority of the stock cannot be
had the firm will pay the same price for
a minority portion, the purchase to be
made not later than thirty days after
January IA, 1905, the date upon which the
stock dealers propose to take the major
portion of the companys stock, If 1t be
for sale
Attached to the letter is a blank form
to be signed by the receiver of the letter,
which, on filing out and signing, trans
fers his holdings in the company to Weir
Brothers & Co. at the price named.
Whether the offer be bona fide one,
or whether there is a joker. and the
stockholders are to be given a lesson in
higher finance no one In Tonopah has
been found who knows. Twice the fig
ures they quote would not buy the prop
erty they say they wish to purchase.

both companies held in Boston on Janu-
airy 9Th, the Boston and Nevada Copper

Company.
Negotiations looking toward the consol-
idation of these companies have been
pending some little time and the deal was
practically closed some months ago. final

WESTERN PACIFIC
California Legislature Expecting
Bill

A Sacramento dispatch says:
The Legislature is anxiously awaiting
the appearance of a promised measure
in aid of the Western Pacific. Just what
the new transcontinental railroad will
ask at the hands of the lawgivers at the
present session is not definitely known,
but there seems ito be a general under
standing that a bill will be introduced
to enable the company to obtain. long
lease on certain waterfront property un-
der the control of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners. just south of the Santa
Fe China basin freight terminal.
A Western Pacific representative, who
was actively identified with the Western
Pacific bill at the last session, had been
present session. but he says that no bill
has arrived as yet and he is not sure
just what the road will ask for. There
promises to be an entirely different lining
up of the members of the two houses on
Western Pacific legislation this session.
Two years ago the Western Pacific was
a road built largely on paper so far as
any tangible evidence of it's purposes and
its ability to carry out its plans was con-
cerned, and the Western Pacific bill was
opposed by members who declared that
If it could be shown that the undertaking
meant the actual building of new trans
continental railroad they would support
the measure.
Within the past few months all the
mystery as to what interest was back
of the road has disappeared and now that
1t is publicly known that the Western
Pacific is a Gould undertaking there are
members in both houses who are openly
proclaiming themselves to be in favor of
any reasonable measure that will facili-
tate the building of the road and afford
1t terminal facilities on the San Francisco
water front
