NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS,
Thousands Of Miles Are TO Be Added
to Present Mileage This
Year.

Those who have held to the belief
that railroad construction In the
United States has come to an end VIII
be- surprised to learn that over l3,OJO
miles of new road are now under con-
tract or building, and that there are
in addition nearly $500 miles OF what
are technically known as live pro-
iects." No less an authority than the
Railway Age in an elabroate compila'
ton. estimates the new mileage as
stated, and apportions the cons'rue-
ton OF the lines by geographical d.
visions. The greater portion OF the
new mileage lies within the borders
of the northwestern, southwestern and
Pacific coast states. In fact, 81 per
cent OF the $4,000 miles under con-
struction or contracted for is so situ-
ated. while OF the $500 miles of live
projects which may or may not be
built. 65 per cent. is located In the
same territory Among the largest
single enterprises are the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 ST. Paul extension from
Eyarts, y. D., to Tacoma and SEATTLE,
Wash, approximatlng 1900 miles oil
which ! .OlO miles are now under con-
tract: the Western Pacific, on which
great deal of work has been accom-
plished, from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco. 937 miles; the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, from Sulphur
Springs, Col, to Salt Lake CITY, i7O
miles.
Too much space would be required
to cnumerate the individual extern
sions. etc, but an idea OF the work
may be GAINED when It Is stated that
over two-thirds Of the 1900 miles I'M
der contract are being built in the In
tercst OF IS companies-an average q
93l miles for each company. The fo'-
lowing table shows the geographical
distribution of new mileage:

San Francisco OF late had been In
tensely interested in making OF the
town seemingly so happily situate, a
place as beautiful as far famed Naples,
with which Italian city the California
city had often been compared In re-

preclpitous hills and wonderful water
view. San Francisco was built on a
peninsula, between the waters Of the
beautiful bay and the Pacific ocean;
the business portion on what once
were sand dunes, but Just north and

THE coMPANYs TAILOR.
Was Measuring the Station Hands

Outfits.

A man was standing before a sta

bell changed. and all the station en-
ployes came running out and ar
ranged themselves in a neat line on
the platform, relates the Detroit Jour
nal.
There was the ticket agent, the tee-
graph operator, the baggage master,
and so on. They stood side by side,
their shoulders squared, their heads
thrown back like soldiers on parade.
And now locomotive, drawing only
one car, dashed past.
II was an observation car, and on
the observation platform sat a small,
quick, nervous man. He had table
before him, with pens and paper on It,
and as the train shot by the station
he regarded the men sharply and
made hurried notes.

KNOW ENGINES WHISTLE.
Friends Of Engineers Recognize TIER
Machines by Distinctive
Blasts.

There Is not an engineer on this road
that | can't recognize by the sound OF
the whistle OF his engine" remarked a
locomotive fireman to a washington
Star reporter. Each man has dis
tinctive blast, which is az plain as
spoken language to his fellow employees
and is frequently familiar to the men,
bers Of his family.
often the home people OF the en-"
gineers are MS skilled in detecting par
ticular whistle sounds as are the rail-
road men themselves. II is a frequent
occurrence TO see an engineers wife,
with perhaps two or three little children
by her side, leaning out Of window IN
sight Of the railroad waiting in pleasing
expectancy to wave a greeting to the
man in the cab, having been made ac-
Quainted with the fact Of his approach
by means only Of the sound Of the whis-
tie.

attached to his whistle, regarding i rs
a sort OF personal adjunct. He blows 1t

feelings in the cadences Of the blast. In
this way the whistle assumes the dig

Many OF the differences among
whistles are obvious to people in gen.
eral. The chime whistle, for instance

Nothing more illustrative Of the
trend Of development within the
United States than afforded by this
table could be wished. The older por-
tions of the country have completed
their period OF initial and secondary
railway construction, and II Is unlike
~ that further competitive lines will
be built. A great deal will be done in
the way OF extra parallel tracking and
subsidiary building, as, for instance,
| IN the case of the Pennsylvania,
which Is completing It's siX-track sys-

the newer states, however, the case

PAVE ROADS WITH TAILINGs.
Latah County Orders Many Carloads
From Mines.


Moscow dispatch in Spokane Re-
view: "At the request OF Mayor w.
M. Morgan and others the o. r. & N.
company has granted temporary
rate of 81 ton on tailings from the
Occur d'Alene mines to Moscow" said
I. T. Ames, local agent, last evening.
1t Is necessary each year to repair
the paved streets with crushed rock.
and since II has been demonstrated
that tailings from the mines make the
best macadam obtainable, efforts
have been made to get rates so that
the city could afford to ship the tall
ings instead of crushing and hauling
local rock. which does not cement
readily.
AS starter the city has placed an
order for 20 cars, and w. A. Lauder,
sub-contractor for the foundations
and floors of the new mining build
ings for the university, to be laid in
concrete, will also order 20 cars. and
the Latah County Good Roads asso-

between the city and cemetery.
Professor H. T. French, president
of the association said: There is
enough silver and lead left in those
tailings to promote cementing into
almost solid rock with proper rolling

improvements costing $l50,000 are
to be made at the Gold Coin mine,
according to T. H. White. one of the
three incorporators of the company.
In speaking OF the matter yesterday
Mr.. White stated that a l00-stamp
mill is to be installed within a short
time. The machinery is already con-
traeted for and will arrive soon.
According to Mr.. White, the new
mill will be placed at the mine in
stead of at the location of the present
mill. IL sufficient water is found at
the former place. The present mill
is five-eighths of a mile from the mine
and an expense of 10 cents per ton
is incurred in hauling the ore from
the mine to the mill. By locating the
new mill at the mine this can be
saved. But It is not known yet IL
sufficient water can be secured at the
mine, though the men believe there is
an ample supply. To determine con-
cerning the water a sinking plant will
be used.
Mine a Promising One.
That the Gold Coin mine is a good
proposition, is evidenced by the de-
the new 100-stamp mill. Thus far
they have been using a 10-stamp mill,
and the showing made by the mine
has been sufficient to warrant them
in enlarging the plant. Also, the
company was recently reincorporated,
this time with a capitalization of ss,-
1000.
The original company was orsaniz-
ed here about year ago with T. H.
White, T. W. Ayers and H. ]. Still
man as the incorporators. For some
months past these men have been de-
voting their time to the proposition.
and they are the incorporators in the
new company
