NAT GOODWIN INTERESTED
IN SOUTHERN NEVADA

Mr.. Nat c. Goodwin, the eminent
American actor, has become greatly in
terested in Southern Nevada, and par
ticularly Goldfeld and Tonopah, through
his friend William J. Brewer, and re-
Gently Mr.. Goodwin decided to begin
operations on his own account, with
Messrs. Detch and Brewer.
He has been spending the summer at
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, but will
soon leave for Goldfeld with Mr.. Brew
err, in order that he may personally ex-
anime properties in which he is inter-
ested before his dramatic season opens
in New York.
One does not often associate hard
headed business with the personality of
an artist like Mr.. Goodwin. but those
who have known him the longest, say
that he derives a great deal of his mas
terly command of human hearts from
the fact that he is one of the most
practical of men. He has recognized the
growing greatness of the mining in
dustry of Nevada, n has planned to
operate some properties here himself.
While in Goldheld Mr.. Goodwin will be
the guest of Messrs. Detch & Brewer.
He will visit some of the mines and
will be rendered a reception at the
Montezuma club.

Bullion. New. Aug. 2S.-Development
during the past several weeks have
demonstrated that the Bullion district
has come to stay-that 1t will make
good as one among the best of the
many remarkable gold camps opened
up in Nevada during the past few years.
The population of the district. exclu-
sive of Cortez across the valley to the
east, is at present not to exceed 200.
Most of these are recent arrivals, al
though there still remain some of the
old timers, relics of the boom silver
days. There are two towns in the dis
trict-Tenabo and Bullion-neither of
which has yet been digniied with a
postofice. The former, situated near
the southerly end of the district was re-
Gently taken over from W. r. McCrea by
some Colorado Springs capitalists, who
have incorporated as the Bullion Ven
ture company, and are preparing to in
augurate a system of water works and
other needed improvements. The old
town of Bullion once boosted a popula-
tion of several hundred, nearly all of
whom have long since departed leaving
only an old silver mill, a few ~dilapidated
buildings and numerous excavations to
remind one of the old days. 1t is on
patented ground, however, is located
near the center of the district, with
plenty of running water and is ambi-
tious to become the metropolis of the
district.
The Bullion Venture company made
final payment yesterday on the $4,000
option on the Rough and Ready"
claims known as the Dutchman group.
The option was taken up on the favor
able report of Max Boehmer. the Dem
yer expert, who has been making a
thorough examination of the district
the past ten days. Colorado Springs
patrons have also taken an option on
$50, 900 shares of the stock of the Gold
Quartz Mining company, held by c. f.
Montgomery, the discoverer of the
property. 1t is understood that the OPP
tion is for $4,000 and that the stock
has been placed in escrow in the Bank
of Elko.
The most important developments
made thus far are in the Gold Quartz
group, belonging to Butte. Mont, par
ties: the Dutchman group, the Little
Gem. the Hickman property. the Two
Widows under bond to A. f. Raleigh,
the Tiger, being worked by w. S. Mont
gomery and It. P. Rigney, the Dutch
oven, owned by Attenburg Brothers,
the F~innegan. owned by Tim Kirby. and
the Beach Rock group, belonging to
Montgomery, Rigney and Hinckley.
These are all in the gold belt, and, with
the exception of the Black Rock. are
located in the southern end of the dis
trict.
In the silver belt Immediately con-
tiguous to the gold belt on the west,
some remarkable developments have re-
Gently occurred. especially in the Gold
Ring. Utah and Gray Eagle mines. The
Gold King, a claim recently located by
Cochrane and O'Hara. is just above the
town of Bullion and adjoining the old
Silverside property from which $500. 900
in silver is said to ave been taken in
the early days. In sinking on the Gold

THE aoLDF1ELD STOCK EXCHANGE

The Goldfeld Mining Stock Exchange is now enjoying a wen deserved pros
perty. Since it's organization, less than a year ago, its omcersa nd members nave
worked faithfully and steadily to safeguard the investors interests and nov that
te zine are sending forth their golden treasures in suhg generous quantities the
exchange members are reaping their reward in an active n eeri increasing
market
The business for the past three weeks has exceeded thu best weeks o. last
winter by at least ont third, and that in the dull summer season when small in
is supposed to be taken in stocks. That the active trading rise IN
prices sis a reflection Of conditions al the mines goes without saying. 1t was a
case of continued and increased production of ore that vas bound sooner or later
to have its effect on the market, and as the Goldfeld exchange is in closest touch
with the mines, it vas natural that it should be looked to to establish prices war
ranted by mine conditions That it is doing SO is evident to anyone III studies

center for Nevada mining securities is the belief If everyone acquainted with the

CONDUCTOR HIRES A NAG.
Which Runs Through Country
Of Millionaires.

The Chestnut Ridge railroad, which
boasts of millionaire owner for
every mile. is rapidly gaining repu-
tation. The road was built in the
western part of this county and a por-
ton of Carbon, to improve the brick
industry, and is IL miles in length.
Recently the passenger train ran
nearly the entire length without a
conductor. A country correspondent
to a local paper descibed the incident
in the following thrilling manner:
After the conductor gathered the
tickets he stepped upon the platform
and was thrown off. The crew did
not miss him until they reached Lit
tie Gap. The engineer went in search
of the conductor, but could not find
him, and the brakeman took a hand
in the man hunt.
In the meantime the conductor
walked back to Lehigh Gap and hired
a horse and buggy to take him to
Kunkletown, where the train arrived
at ten o'clock p. M, several hours
late.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Chestnut Ridge railroad is owned by
millionaires, its roadbed seems to be
too rocky for speed.

Silk and Velvet.

The European silk exports to the
United States decreased considerably
last year. The principal cause is the
steady expansion of the American silk
production, the number of factories
having doubled since 1900. Japan is
also securing a larger share of the
American market. In the year 1890
Germany sent about $10,71O,000 in
silks to the United States, and Japan
sent $1,190,000 worth. In 1904-05 Ger
mnay sent about $4,998,000 of silk
goods to the United States, while jap
an sent 5,593, 900 worth. japanese ex-
ports in silk goods have tripled with
in ten years, increasing from $7,470,-
900 in 1895 to $22,41O,OO0 in 19O4-O5
and the ascending movement con-
tinues. The German silk manufacture
er should follow with attentive eyes
the development of this industry in
Japan,

HIS POWERFUL PLEA.
How Kentucky Colonel Prayed for
Divine Aid in the Hour OF
Extreme Peril.

Colonel Throckmorton, a distin-
guished Kentuckian, was once a pas
senger on wooden sailing vessel on
the high seas, when frightful storm
burst and the vessel became water
logged. The passengers were crying
and appealing to heaven for aid. Col
onel Throckmorton edged over to the
side of the captain and said: Tell
me, is there really any danger?"
You see what the rest of the pas
sengers are doing" replied the cap
tain; they are making their peace
with God. II you ever do any pray.
ing, colonel, you might do so with
perfect propriety at this juncture.
The vessel can't live five minutes"
The colonel Strengthened himself,
lifted his hat, looked up to the scowl-
ing sky with a reverent mien, and
exclaimed: Almighty God, If you
ever intend to do Colonel Throck-
morton, Of Kentucky, favor, now is
your time to do it,"

EXTEND ROADS IN ALASKA.
Railway Construction Is Being Pushed
at Rapid Rate in the Far
North.

Railroad building in Alaska Is an in
FAINT industry which has just dropped
it's swaddling clothes and now gives
promise of growing at an astonishing
rate Necessity has spruned builders
to great activity, for no sooner is
railroad needed in this country than
the project assumes shape and in a re-
markably short time becomes an &C
tuality.
The development of gold and copper
mines being dependent largely upon
facilities for moving the ore, the build
ing of railways was begun to fill this
necessity The roads bring the devel-
opment of other industries, such as
coal mining and agriculture.
No long lines have been built in
Alaska yet, the necessity for them not
being present, but within the last five
years several short lines have tapped
some of the richest mineral districts
and they have proved immensely re-
munerative. The most ambitions
project is line from Valdez to Eagle,
a distance of 400 miles, with a branch
running to Dawson. This line will fol-
low the government trail, crossing the
pass.
Probably the most valuable railroad
property in Alaska is the Skagway and
White Pass, which was built by Chi
cago capital four years ago and the
stock of which is now worth nearly ten
times par. This is an ore road entire
ly, although experiments in agricul-
ture along the line show that the land
is immensely fertile and capable of
bearing large crops.
Another line, which has just been
financed by J. p Morgan and which
will be built this summer, will run
from Nome to Kotzebue. 1t will be
12O miles long and will be built for
the purpose of carrying the gold from
the Kotzebue fields to Nome. where it
can be put on board steamers for the
United States. There is another line
which runs from Prince Williams bay
across the Chugach mountains. This
line is only about 100 miles long.
President Roosevelt has recommend
ed that government aid be given to the
Alaskan railroads, the recommended
ton being made after a senatorial COM
mittee had gone over the routes and
reported on their feasibility and neces-
sity. Congress will be asked to guar
antee the bonds on 500 miles of road
only, that will be distributed between
three companies, the Alaska Central.
which is being built from Seward
northward to Fairbanks, and to the
roads now projected in the Copper
river valley and the Salmon river road.
There is another proposition before
congress which calls for government
aid to any Alaskan road after it has
spent a certain amount of money of its
own.
There is another railway project for
Alaska, the largest which has been put
forward, and that is for line from
the Behring straits across the terri
tory in southeasterly direction to
connect with the rails of one of the
Canadian transcontinental roads and
to be part of the great railway which
is to connect Paris with New York.

Thew Need Training.

1t is a singular fact that locomotives
destined for fast runs require training,
as do race-horses. The locomotive
built for speed is first put to work on
some small branch line, with light
trucks, until 1t becomes accustomed to
running. Having undergone this period
of probation, it is taken on to more
important portions of the lines, and
gradually worked up by increasing
speed until it is given its place on the
line of the great flyers.
