Consolidation kumored.

For some time past persistent rumors
have been chronicled in the New York
dailies, of a proposed consolidation of
several Tonopah mines. The properties
mentioned, are the North Star, Midway
and Montana mines. While it is the
general belief throughout the camp that
some sort of a deal is on the tapis,
inquiries at the Office on one of the
mines involved, failed to elicit further
information, that a similar report had
reached them. While tacitly admitting
that such a merger might be a posi-
bility, they also stated that there was
little likelihood of such a combination
in the immediate future. The Tonopah
Sun quoting from a New York paper
states that the basis of a deal is that
the stock of the Montana Tonopah be
acquired at $4.25 per share, the Midway
at $3.40 and the North Star at the
market rate then prevailing. The
name of Donald B. Gillies of the Tono-
pah Extension is also mentioned in the
report.

set about gathering a crew. When he
had sufficient workmen, he commenced
sinking in No. / shaft, where the rich
rock came from. Bowler says it is his
intention to sink until the 100-foot level
is reached and then commence drifting.
He says he will put as many men to
work in the ground and not loose any
time in extracting the rich rock.
Nearly half a car is awaiting the com
pletion of a shipment when the third
lot will go to the smelter at Salt Lake.
The remaining lease on the Minnie Mae
claim was taken up by j. L. Coryell.
A new lease, No. %, was taken by c..
C. Beaurogard.
Real estate is very lively and the new
owners of the townsite are showing
their energy by the number of sales
they are making. T. A. johnson, sec
rotary of the Johnnie Consolidated
company, bought a lot and started the
foundation for a stone residence. Jas.
Smith and 7. Connors members of a
contracting firm here purchased a lot
and will erect a stone building on it.

New Telephone Service.

Last Thursday arrangements were
completed between Geo. Watt, presi-
dent and manager of the Austin Tele-
graph and Telephone Company and
Superintendent Adams of the South
western Nevada Consolidated Telephone
and Telegraph Company, whereby a
through telephone service will be
effected between Austin and Tonopah,
Goldfeld and Bullfrog, by way of
Round Mountain, and the wires were
operated for the first time on the above
day. This service will also take in
Millet and Kingston. Frank Golden of
Tonopah is a large stakeholder in the
enterprise and William Douglas is also
heavily interested in the private tele-
phone system that has been extended.

"JIM CROW" CARS.
Alleged That They Are Inferior to
Other Railway Vehicles.

The interstate commerce commission
has received a communicati ton from Chat
tanooga, Tenn. stating that on certain
roads in that state the Jim Crow cars
are not equal to the ordinary cars fur
nished Tor white passengers and raising
the question whether it can be said that
the roads furnish equal facilities for
white anu colored passengers, according
to the requirement of the law. The cor
respondent further requested the com
mission tc test the law in relation to this
class of cases and to ascertain whether
under the act of the recent session Of
Congress such a condition should be al
lowed to exist
The commission replied to the CORE
spondent that it could not make out 4
case against a road on such information
or initiate a suit. The correspondent was
told that if he wished to have the law
tested he would have to make formal
complaint of the violation of the law and
accompany it with the evidence in the
case. so that the commission would have
something tangible on which to act. That
marked the close of the incident, which
is of special interest. one of n class
that may some time be brought before
the commission.
1t is questionable whether the recent
interstate commerce law enacted by Con-
SreSS is any more stringent on the sub
ject of equal facilities to be furnished by
al railroads for both races. The south
ern members of both House and Senate
looked carefully into the law in that re-
spect. ard in the general opinion of sucn
men the Ia" contains nothing that will
interfere with Il continuance OF the pres
ent metf eds adopted in southern states
for separating the races while travelling
by furnishing them separate ears. The
question of whether equal accommoda-
lions have been provided would be u
matter tG be considered in each case that
might be tested, and decision to the eff
feet thai the accOmm oda tons had not
been equal in a particular case would
have no effect upon the system as a
whole.
So far 10 formal complaint of this kind
has been made to the commission, and
until tina. is done there is not likely to
be any effort toward determination of
the mattel

TWO FACTORS INVOLVED.
Causes of Backwardness of Russian
Agriculture

That the acreage and production of wheat
in Russia have grown rapidly and persis-
tently. and that further growth may be ex-
pected; that natural conditions all favor
such extension OF cereal production there
and that economic conditions favor the
further growth OF wheat at the expense of
rye and other crops is the general conclu-
sion reached in a report of the Department
of Agriculture on Russian wheat produc-
ton. The report. however. points out the
extremely low average yield. probably on
