WILL FENCE the RIGHT OF WAY
Railroads Action Excites the
Freighters and Ranchers of
Humboldt County.

The people Of Humboldt county. es
pecially the ranchmen and freighters
are greatly excited because the South
ern Pacific Company, in fencing its
right-of.way through the State, is en-,
closing the old public road which par.
allels its track for 100 miles. From
Lovelock to Humboldt the fence is com.
pleted and the wires will soon reach
Mill City. Eventually it will reach
Winnemucca, thus dispossessing large
area of country of one of the oldest and
best roads in the State.
An Indignant protest was lodged
against the company's actions with the
County Commissioners. The delega,
tion demanded that the county cut the
fence and reopen the road, which was
established many years before the rail.
road was built. At the present time the
freighters aud ranchers are compelled
to drive through the sagebrush aud over
mountains. making new road as they
travel.
1t is claimed the company propose.
to fence it's right-of-way entirely
through Nevada. At present it ii
wholly unfenced.

LITTER OF WILDCATS AT LARGE

The Salt Lake Republican has this to
say of flooding the country with wild.
cat mining schemes:
"With a new company being launched
every hour and the baccilli of an epi.
demic now sweeping the camps seeking
its way into every pnrse. the investor in
mining shares cannot exercise too
much care, nor inquire too closely into
the offerings that are hung up in the
shop windows. Mingling with or
skulking behind the Legitimate, is
always the scavenger, if not the rank
est wildcat. its oleaginous keeper
more dangerous than ninety per cent
of those doing time in the penitentiary
and infinitely more elusive.
THE paramount danger to which the
dupes and the prey of the latter are ex-
posed is that the promoter has been
adroit and cunning enough to hide the
stripes beneath the mantles OF many
persons Of prominence and a reputation
for intregrity. In nearly every instance.
too, the owners Of these mantles and
these fair names have been duped and
before they have discovered the crimes
into which they have been innocently
drawn the claws OF the wildcat are
buried inextricably in the flesh of the
public.
"There are too many legitimate offer
ings in which to invest. and to the
merits of which reputable mining men
and engineers are daily testifying. for
any one in possession of enough brain
to keep him out of the lunatic asylum
to permit himself to be duped. Look
out for the Wildcat He's after you.
Meanwhile it might be timely to ad.
monish his Keeper that the postoffice

A YOUNG GIRL SUICIDES
Carson Valley "Hello" Operator Dies
from Unrequited Love.

Esther Trotlot. IL years old, COM
mitted suicide at Gardnerville, Doug as
County. on April by taking carbolic
acid. She was iu the employ Of the
Alpine Telephone Company as day
operator aud took the fatal dose while
ON duty. dying In the office. She was
nearly dead when found.
The Corouer's jury brought in a yer.
dict that the young lady had come to
her death through an overdose of car.
bolic acid taken with suicidal intent
and the cause was unrequited love.
No one was held to blame for the girls
rash act.
Miss Trottot was despera tely in love
with Ralph Harcourt. manager Of the
telephone exchange. That her love
was not requited the testimony at the
Coroner's inquest clearly showed.
Nothing detrimental to Mr.. Harcourt
has at any time been forthcoming and
the rash deed of Miss Trotlot can not
in anyway be accounted for unless it is
that the young woman was temporarily
deranged.

NEW COMSTOCk PUMP TESTED
Expected to Handle Water Carry
ing Mud and Gravel In
Solution.

The first tests made of the enormous
Starrett pump established upon the
2300-foot level of the Ward shaft at
Virginia City were made on April 8.
aud the mining managers as well as
the pump builders believe the machine
will solve the great question that has
for years baffied the engineers-the re-
moval of the water, carrying mud and
gravel in solution. from the lower
levels of the mine. Under 45-pound
compressed air pressure the pump
threw 800 gallons minute from the
$500 to the 2lO0.foot level. and in q
few days it's ability to throw this tre-
mendous volume to the 1600-foot level
will be tested. The builders. say the
machine will accomplish it.
The mining men on the Comstock
are eagerly awaiting the outcome OF
the tests. II the pump is as successful
as it seems to be, it will revive mining
in the lower levels upon a large scale,
as the pumps heretofore used were
unable 10 take care of the mud and
gravel that the hot water carries.

laid every day.
Three grading outfits are at work
between Curris's and Ely and more
will be added as fast as men can be
obtained. The company expects to
make a terminal for the reception of
freight and passengers at Currie's.
which is about SO miles north of Ely,
within the next Is or 20 days, when
notification will be given to the outside
world that travel is open via the Gobre

Renos License System Condemned.
The next question for the City Coun-
Gil to take up will be the one Of forever
wiping out the practice now In vogue
here of licensing every business, avoca.
ton and profession for the purpose of
raising revenue--the most iniquitous
system of raising revenue known. IL is
in direct opposition to an income tax.
1t is conceived in inquity and born in
sin. aud is the Offering Of the same kind
of people who would figure ten per
cent per annum deterioration upon an
electric plant, which would only be
running smoothly at the end Of that
time. In other words. the system of
raising revenue by licensing the sons of
toll aud the butcher and baker-the
breakfast. dinner aud suppsr of the
toiler who pays it all-is but a sly,
cunning way Of corporations avoiding
their just burden of taxation. Reason
it out any other way II you can, and we
stand ready to be corrected.
Too Many Saloons and Games.
In the interest Of the splendid Uni.
versity the City Council owes it to this
community to cut the license from the
avocations aud legitimate business en-.
terprises, and add it all to the saloon
and gambling licenses. The only at
tempt at justification for the license
system is for police regulation, aud
this is the only business needing police
regulation. Besides that. if the gambl-
ing houses and saloons were reduced in
this city about 80 per cent by reason of
high license. more parents would be
found willing to send their sons to the
University. who will not now ever
think Of such course.

WESTERN PACIFIC IN. NEVADA
Its Chief Engineer Calls for Bids
to Build Road Across the
Sage Brush State.

Virgil @. Bogue. Chief Engineer Of
the Western Pacific. has issued q cir.
cular letter asking contractors through
out the United States 10 submit bids
for the immediate construction of ITO
miles of roadbed and track. This sec.
tion is to begin at the point where
Nevada and Utah join and run to
Deeth, a small settlement on the Hum
boldt river. In the letter each bidder
was told that the work must be put
through as rapidly as possible and each
was asked to give an estimate Of the
time that would be required under
favorable conditions.
The advertisement for these bids is
the first step in the building of Gould
continental line through Nevada. The
construction of this section is consider
ed by engineers as the most difficult
piece of work to be done on the line.
For this reason great care will be ex.
ercised in granting the award.
Twenty-Five miles Of this division
must be hewn out of almost solid rock.
Few breaks occur in this long stretch
Of rocky formation. In the Goshute
Mountains tunnel 1900 feet long
will be driven. 1t will be, with the
exception of the Cascade Tunnel on the
Great Northern. the longest tunnel in
the United States. Engineer Bogue
estimates that the total cost of the con-
struction of this 110 miles through Ne
vada will amount to over IS. 900, 600.
The Western Pacific will pay the con-
tractors as the work progresses.
