The temporary station IS 40 be moved

& Tonopah Railroad mpan and coun-
sci for the Salt Lake route. spent the
greater part of the week here in con-
nection with the contemplated railroad
improvements. and also the new hotel
enterprise, which has now assumed
3efnite shape. Rhyolite - to have a
.1OO.0 900 hotel. The matter has been
passed upon and Architect Kirby is now
preparing plans for the building. The
enterprise is not fostered by the Clark
people, but several individual officers
and members of the corporation are in
terested. They realize that a first class
hotel will not only be a drawing card
for Rhyolite and the Builfrog district,
but will mean increased business for
the railroad company.
Mr.. whittemore says: One of the
great drawbacks to Rhyolite hitherto.
has been the lack of adequate hotel ac-
commodations, and I am speaking for
myself individually when 1 say that a

advantage to your town. While it is
possible to obtain the capital to further
this enterprise from the outside, we de-
sire that the Rhyolite people take stock
in it, and we are asking that the citizens
mainly shoulder the financial burden of
the enterprise. AS far as the building
of the hotel is concerned, there is no diff
fcu1ty in obtaining the necessary cash,
but we want to make it as far as pos
sible a local enterprise"
AS stated, the building will cost in
the n~eighborhood of 100000. 1t is not
a promotion scheme. but a venture
which will help build up the camp gem
orally. Already $4,000 have been sub
scribed. The idea is to organize a
hotel company, or rather a building
which will finish the structure
ready for furnishing. This corporation
is now in process of organization. Then
an association of hotel men are forming
a leasing company which will take over
the building when completed, furnish
it, and run a hotel. Colonel Dunn of
San Bernardino. who spent some time
in Rhyolite recently, is also interested
in the project. The leasing company
will furnish the hotel and this 1t is esti-
mated c~onservatively, will cost between
$50, 900 and $40, 600. Including the price
of the site, the cost of construction and
furnishing the new building will amount
to about $4,000, and will be the finest

Lodi. the Illinois mine is employing
over twenty men. The shaft is down
500 feet and is in several feets of ore.
The mine has been shipping monthly an
average of three carloads a month,
averaging about $3.50 a ton. The mine
was purchased early in the spring by
Snedecker. Superintendent Grill is re-

mill will be erected Immediately.

MINING NEWS OF
,FAIRPLAY DISTRICT

The Fairplay mining district. in
which are situated the thriving camps
of Goldyke and Atwood. is coming to
the front with rapid strides. During
the past month four new companies
have commenced work and a number of
good lodges have been uncovered on vir-
gin ground. For the past fortnight the
camp of Goldyke has been visited by a
large number of prominent mining men.
and without exception they have ex-
pressed themselves as surprised hat
the district has not attracted more at
tention in the past. The claim owners
are now doing their assessment work
and as a result there Is a scarcity of
miners.
Paradise Mountain. lying just north
of Goldyke. is the scenes of a number
of important copper discoveries made
during the summer. The lodges. which
are large and strong, also carry good
values in gold. silver and lead. A pros
pector named Rhado has opened up a
ledge carrying values ranging from $50
to $500 a ton, and he is now sacking ore
for shipment. Cincinnati capitalists are
also opening up a rich property in the
same locality.
General Manager Pearson of the West
Goidyke Mining last week re-
ceived Instructions from his principals
to close the deal on the porperty which
he has been working under a bond for
nearly a year. and the last payment of
$11,500 has just been made. 1t is an
bounced that a large hosting plant will
be Installed on the ground Immediately.
The Goldyke Reef company is taking
the lead in development work.. and much
credit is due superintendent Frank p.
Dillon for his efforts in proving up such
a valuable piece of property. On the
200 level there is at least $500, 900 of ore
blocked out, and the drifts are oil in
ore of good grade. Sinking was re-
Gently resumed in this fine property and
the shaft will be put down to the 500
foot point as rapidly as possible. The
management announces that a mill will
be erected at once.
The Portland-Goldyke has caught the
extension of the Griggs-Atwood ledge,
and 1t promises to surpass the original
discovery. both in extent and value.
The force of miners was increased on
the first of the month.
The Goldyke Mining company is push
ing development work, under the iir-
petus of the recent rich strike in its
property, and it is announced that this
company will also have a mill in opera
ton by next spring. The holdings of
the company are very extensive, and If
the body of rich ore recently encounter
ed holds out, as it undoubtedly will, it
will prove to be one of the biggest boz
nanza ever discovered in the state.
John McKane has taken over the
property adjoining the Goldyke Mining
company's group and work has been in
progress for the past two weeks. Mr..
McKane will undoubtedly catch the
ledge that the Goldyke Reef and Col
dyke Mining companies are now devel-
oping.-Tonopah Miner.

ROUND MT. Elk. HAS BIG LEDGE

The strike reported IN the property
of the Round Mountain Extension Min
ing company a couple of weeks ago has
proven to be even better than was at
first anticipated. The ledge is almost

was driven on the ledge and the hang

tunnel was in a distance of 20 feet. AL
lowing for a slight pitch this makes the
ledge so feet in width. No average as
says have been made as yet but Super
intendent Sly says values are present
for the entire width. The ledge matter
is very soft containing considerable tale.
1t was possible to make three feet a

Now that the hanging wall has been
reached, sinking will be begun on the
ledge and two shifts of men will be put

The large lumber mills at Che mainus, British Columbia, which are owned by American capitalists and managed by Americans, have for several months past been compelled to run twenty-four hours a day, and yet have been unable to keep up with their orders. They have been and are now seriously handicapped by shortage of labor, both skilled and unskilled. The latter has been for years past performed by Chinese, Japanese and Indians, largely the former. Owing to the increased tax placed on Chinese immigrants by the Dominion, and the consequent almost total cessation of such im- migration, the Chinese already in the province are generally demand ing an increase of wages. so that this labor is not so profitable as for merly to the employers. It is general ly estimated that white man is bet ter worth $2.50 than a Chinaman is worth $1.50 per day in work around lumber mills.

The Canadians are jealous of the up-to-date publishers in the states and so the post office department at Ottawa has issued an order forbid ding the transmission through Ca nadian mails of a large number of periodicals published in the United States, unless postage stamps are. af- fixed at rate of l cent for two ounces. The list embraces many of the we'll known weeklies and month lies. A Canadian paper says that no reason for this order is given from Ottawa, but that it is understood to be due to certain advertising fea- lures in the publications mentioned. The consul adds that the demand for American magazines in Canada is great because of their news. liter ary. and artistic qualities. The de- mand can not be supplied by English and Canadian publications. The Ca- nadians desire to be loyal to home industries. and to what extent they will be led to support the govern ment in the course to lessen the number of American publications in the Dominion is question only to be solved by experiment.

Banker Clews says that but

Banker Clews says that business generally continues satisfactory. In spite of occasional hesitation the vol ume of business continues upon a large and increasing scale. Clearing house returns at leading cities demonstrate this, showing gain of Is per cent last week and 17 per cent the week before over the pre- ceding year. Railroad earnings also continue very encouraging Fifty
 six roads in the month of April re-
 ported gross earnings of s52.4o0, ,000. an increase of nearly I2 per cent over last year. These are surprising figures in view of the disturbance caused by the coal strike. which. however. may be more seriously re- fiected in later returns. Industrial activity continues unabated. Enor- nous orders have been placed for steel rails, some of them for delivery as far ahead as 1907. There are 730. 900 tons already cn the order books of American rail mills. and other important contracts are pend ing. which will soon bring the total up to 100000 tons. This means continued prosperity for the steel mills for months to cone The rail- roads are certain to consume large quantities of material not merely for improvements but also for new mile age. The extensive outIsys by the Pennsyivania and New York Central for accommodation of New York t-af- fic give some idea of what is being done in this direction. Evidently these gigantic corporations have un- limited faith in the future of New York city. or such vast outlays which cannot be immediately profitable would not be undertaken. Another incident which attracted. attention vas the announcement ;hst the vet cram railroad nagnste. !. J. Hill. would build a new Pacific railroad through Canadian territory aecuzn- panied by the intimation that he might be able to e3t the rates one half. This illustrates the rapid de- yelopnent of the contius1t.
