Blair Townsite Booming.

Up to the present about 300 lots of
the Blair Townsite Company, controlled
by the Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining
Company, have been sold. Practically
every lot on the main street has been
purchased and arrangements are al
ready made for the erection of a three
story hotel at Main and Fourth streets.
by Grant Crumley of Tonopah. The
office of the branch of the State Bank
and Trust Company will be on the
corner of Main and Third Streets. AS
soon as the water pipes are laid a com
plete sewerage system will be built.
The railroad station will be built about
$50 feet from the foot of Main street.
while the mill is but 1900 feet distance.
Every indication points to a large and
permanent population, and it would
seem that the number of building lots
afforded by the Townsite Company as
well as the Seaman Addition, would be
none too many, This belief is greatly
strengthened by the knowledge, that
already, in the Addition, a large num-
Der of lots have been sold.

New COMPANY to Form.

Senator T. L. Oddie and Clarence M.
Oddie of Tonopah, have just returned
from Greenwater, where they spent
four or five days looking over property
located last May in their interest by M.
j. Jordan. The holdings consist of 7
claims situated over the range. in
Death Valley, about three miles from
the Kunze townsite. Close by is Willow
Creek which will afford ample water
facilities. The country is such that a
spur can very easily be run from the
railroad, when complete, through a pass
to the property. Definite arrangements
for the new company have not as vet
beer completed. A force of men have
already been put on the ground, how
ever, and no time will be lost in devel-
oping the property. The permanent
work will be under the direction of a
well known Colorado mining engineer.
Speaking of the property C. M. Oddie
said: "Of course you understand. in
the case of copper, it improves in value
by depth and if this theory is carried
out in u case, the surface indications
are such, that a big thing is assured. 4"
The new company will be organized at
once and the controlling interest will be
held by Senator Oddie.

TOWN OF MONARCH
IS HAVING TROUBLE
Manhattan Merchants Secure At
taChment WritS---PrOmOtOr
Blanchard in the East

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned in Nevada mining circles when it
was announced that writs of attach
ment had been secured by a number of
prominent Manhattan merchants,
against the Monarch Townsite Com
pany, which is being promoted by the
Rev. Benjamin Blanchard. The town
site is situated in the Ralston desert to
the northeast of Manhattan, and for
some time past has been the scene Of
great building activity. About 24O0
town lots were laid out and a number
Of mining claims located, although it is
stated OF good authority no ore of any
kind was eve found. Derogatory re-
ports regarding the new enterprise
have long been current and from one
source at least the entire movement has
been characterized as a ''wildcat"
scheme. The difficulties which finally
took definite shape last Saturday have
been brewing for some time. When
payments of severai contracts became
due there was no money to meet the
obligations. Blanchard stated that he
had received no remittance from his
hackers nor was he able to secure any
replies to his wires. He decided that it
would be necessary for him to make a
trip to the east. The various creditors
agreed to wait until September 28 for
settlement. Not hearing anything by
that time they Immediately took the
necessary legal steps to protect them
selves and accordingly secured the
writs of attachment. The amount owed
by the townsite company will in all
probability run between $50, 900 and
SAC, 0O0. In addition to the Manhattan
creditors there are a number of Tono-
pah people vitality interested, including
the Empire Lumber Company, Lothrop-
DAVIS Company, Nye County Mercan-
tile Company, Jerry Ahern and Con-
tractor E. E. Burdick. Most uncom-
plimentary remarks are made on every
side regarding Blanchard and his al
legged misrepresentation. Among other
things he is reported to have sold lots
in the townsite for ranching and farm
ing purposes. The purchasers being at
present living as far east as Missouri.
Their expectations of farming on the
arid and waterless desert are likely to
experience a rude awakening. 1t is
claimed that Rev. Blanchard through
his religious calling, preyed upon the
unsuspecting and, therefore, his hypoc-
risy was all the greater.
Probably the greatest hardship re-
sulting from the present complications,
will fall upon the numerous laborers. to
whom it is stated wages aggregating
$40, 900 are owed. A number of those
interested have expressed themselves
as believing that Blanchard will vet
clear up the trouble and that the work
will proceed. Blanchard's scheme. it is
alleged, is to gather together as much
money as possible from sale of lots and
other sources and then allow the propo-
to drop. That matters have not
yet reached a point where such a
thing would be possible, is a reason
advanced by some, as leading them to
think that he will return to take care
OF his obligations. At the present time
is supposed to be in the east.

RAILROADS OVER PYRENEEs.
French and Spanish Governments Pre-

pare to Build Three Lines.
An important series of railway
works to be constructed In the near
future Is the system of lines that
piercing the Pyrenees, are to connect
France with Spain.
While so long ago as 1879 plans were
prepared for crossing these mountains
by railways, yet for military and 9TH
er reasons they have never been real
lied, and the lines connecting these
countries, two in number, are near the
shores of the Bay of Blscay and Of the
Mediterranean Sea.
Recently the governments of Spain
and of France have agreed on the con-
structlon OF three important lines, 70
go directly through the mountains, the
effect of which will be to put Toulouse
and Barcelona Iii closer connection, az
we'll as other important towns.
The most northern route will pene-
trate the mountain near Canfranc, In

cost of $2,9O0,0O0, OF which each gov
eminent will contribute half.
For the central or Salau route still
longer tunnel, with a length OF oA
miles, must be constructed at a cost OK
SO, $4,000, while in the French terri
tory the country is rough and much
engineering work must be done on that
section. For the eastern or Puigceroa
route there Is no international tunnel
but in both countries smaller tunnels
must be constructed through the noun
tains.
The three railways are to be con-
struct simultaneously and are to Do
completed within ten years, and WIN
improve important branch lines that N
both countries have been constructed
ND the various valleys on each side OK
the mountains.
