 Sergeant McDade demanded five doi- lars from the men. but each one had his receipt to show he had paid in full. One bv ona .as they were questioned. they declared that they had paid S13.
 The sergeant was angry and every member of the force was in vexed frame of mind. There was no recourse, however. The money was lacking, but who had failed to pay 1t was puz- Eier to the officers. Something crooked had happened, but no one knew who was responsible. The men received some straight talk from the sergeant. but the sergeant received nothing from the men but respectful silence.

Railroad News.

The location Of the Las Vegas &
Tonopah railroad has been completed
over the Mud Springs summit and will
be pushed with as much rapidity as
possible.
With regard to the completion of the
road into Rhyolite this is still being
delayed on account of the 'longshore-
mems strike on the coast.
There has been no delivery of ties
and when this condition will be relieved
is problematicaI
The entire force is being maintained
and kept on back work, such as laying
station switches and other finishing
matters. 1t would be question of
only a few days, not beyond ten, TO
send the rails into Gold Center, If the
ties were delivered
Espee at Manhattan
Great interests in the rich Manhat-
tan gold mining district are electrified
by the Official announcement to the
effect that the Southern Pacific COM
pany contenplates either the purchase
of the Austin railroad or the construc-
tion of parallel line from Wells to
that point, thence south to Manhattan
and later south to Tonopah and Gold
field. In either event ii now appears
probable that trains will be running
into Manhattan before the snow flies.
For some time the Southern Pacific
people have been negotiating for the
purchase of the Austin railroad, but in
order to be prepared for eventualities
it is announced that they have likewise
completed surveys for a complete line
and that material for the new road
has been ordered.
The elimination of the plans will
give an immediate outlet for the i'm
mense ore tonnage of Manhattan dis
trict and will establish competing
line with the Tonopah railway, which
has long enjoyed the monopoly of the
transportation business of the mining
camps of southern Nevada.
Borax Smiths Scheme
There is also a strong probability
that "Borax'' Smith will seek an outlet
for the road he is now building in the
Bullfrog country by way of Goldfield,
Tonopah and Manhattan.
Smith was near Manhattan recently
and with his engineers made an in
spection of the routes available for
railway purposes, the party journeying
well over into the Smoky valley coun-
try.
Little is known regarding Smiths
plans, but it is stated that he con-
templates tapping Manhattan and
Round mountain, thence to extend
h isroad across Smoky valley to a
connection with the main line of the
Western Pacific.
