Twelve additional cars daily have
been allotted to the mining operators
OF Goldheld and Tonopah who have
increased their ore shipments from

road companies a few weeks ago upon
the refusal of the large mining com
panies to ship any more ore to the

The great speed war that has been on
between the transcontinental railroads
IN their efforts to capture the fast mail
contracts is at an end. From Chicago
to-day notices were sent out by three
roads operating fast transcontinental
mail trains, hat after next Sunday the
running times of the California Limited
