GoLDFIELD MADONNA BEING
ACTIVELY DEVELOPED

A representative of The News visited
the Madonna section of the camp yes
terday and found the Madonna to be
veritable hive of industry, although the
management is concentrating its efforts
on the driving of the long tunnel which
is being run to tap some half dozen
lodges and dykes which show promi-
nently on the surface, and upon which
systematic surface development ex-
posed large bodies of quartz carrying
good values. The energetic and thor
ough manner in which this company Is
developing it's property is a credit to
both themselves and the camp, and with
the excellent location of the property
and strong surface showing the only
reasonable conclusion is that this prop
erty will, at an early date, develop into
one of the good shipping mines of the
Goldfield district.
The merit of this enterprise and the
position which it holds with the invest
ing public, was clearly shown imme-
diately following the San Francisco dis
aster, when the stock advanced on the
local exchange fully so per cent, and
during the dark days which followed
maintained it's position without a break
of the smallest fractional part of
point
The section of the Go1dheld district
Immediately surrounding the Madonna
is rapidly developing into one of the
great producing centers of Goldfeld. and
the surface showing and results of de-
velopment so far performed are fully
equal, If not better than that of the
central and Diamondfield portions of the
camp. Some good mines are to be ex-
pected in that section.

is making nearly a half mile of grade
day. Track is laid about two miles
south and material is arriving prompt
ly.
Within the past week or so surveyors
have been sent south to look ove-'
route by the way of Gold Noun .ain.
This was the route advocated by TIL,
News some weeks ago, and it is not
unlikely that the old survey will be
abandoned and the new one, in closer
proximity TO the mines, will be ch Jsen
1t is understood from semi-offIcial
sources that the railroad depot will be
located three blocks this way from the
main street of Columbia, near Broad
way, and the structure will be an orna te
and pretentious affair.

REDUCED PAssENaER RATES

The San Francisco Examiner, under
the heading "Schwab and Hartman
Will Boom Nevada has the following
about reducing railroad fares:
President E. H. Hartman of the
Southern Pacific company, has surprised
his railroad officials in San Francisco
by giving them instructions to reduce
local passenger rates throughout Ne
vada on July 1st one cent a mile. For
years the Southern Pacific has been per-
mitted by the laws of Nevada to charge
five cents a mile between state points
Under Harriman's order the local state
rate hereafter will be four cents a
mile. Hartman makes the reduction at
the request of Charles NJ. Schwab, the
former $1,000, 0,000-a-year president of
the United States Steel Trust, and prom
inent Philadelphians who are interested
in the Brock syndicate. Schwab has
about sixteen million dollars invested
in the Nevada gold fields and the men,
bers of the Brock syndicate have even
larger interests there. The Guggen-
helms are interested in Nevada copper
properties.
1t is said that Hartman expressed
great confidence in the future of Ne
vada and praised the fasteners for
making investments there. He said that
by a reduction of a cent mile in local
passenger rates the company stood to
lose $350,00O a year in Nevada passen-
ger revenue He admitted that during
the past four years owing to the devel-
opment of the new Nevada gold and
copper fields the company's Nevada
freight revenue had increased wonder

Forming Queen Cells
from Cell Cups
BY A. 1. ROOT.

The use Of cell cups permits the
raiser of queens to produce more
queens than he otherwise would. The
cups are fastened on the hive inside,
as illustrated here The larvae are
placed in the cups and the bees ex-
tend the queen cells downward. as they
would do naturally. OF them A. /.
Root says
Many times when an apiarist is
going through his yard, he can cut
out embryo cell cups such as the bees
make. These can be utilized at some
future time for the purpose of graft
ing. But such cells after they are
gathered are exceedingly frail. irreg-
ular in shape, Will not bear much
handling; and most Of the time one
cannot find enough Mr.. Doolittle was
the man that first conceived the idea
of making artificial cell-cups that
should not only be regular in form.
but of such construction as to stand
any reasonable amount of handling.
Contrary to what one might expect.
such cells are just as readily accepted
by the bees as those they make in the
good. old-fashioned way; and what is
Of considerable Importance, they can
be made in any quantity and by any
one of ordinary intelligence.

terms. Preparatory to forming the
cells. Mr.. Doolittle has a little pan of
beeswax kept hot by means of a
lamp; also a cup Of water. Seating
himself before a table he is now ready
for work. Taking one of these cell
forming sticks he dips it into the
water. after which he plunges it about
nine-sixteenths OF an inch into the
melted wax. He then lifts It up and
twirls It at an angle (waxed end low
est) in his fingers. When cool he
dips it again. but not quite so deep
and twirls it as before. He proceeds
thus until the cup is dipped seven or
eight times, but each time dipping it
less depth or within one-thirty second
inch of the previous dipping. The
main thing is to secure a cup having
a thick heavy bottom, but which will
have a thin and delicate knife-edge at
the top or at that point at which the
bees are supposed to begin their work.
After the last dipping is cooled a
slight pressure Of the thumb loosens
the cell-cup slightly. 1t is then dipped
once more. and before it is cool it is
attached to a comb OF a stick de-
signed to receive it"
