HARTMAN AFTER SPURS
Twenty-Five Million to be Spent on New
Coast Lines and Spurs.

roads are being absorbed, others are
being built and the Southern Pacific is
developing all territory possible to get
ready for what Hartman calls the ''age
of railroad competition.
This being the situation it is not at all
improbable that line of road will ex-
tend through this valley from the Nevada
and California road south to Welling gton,
and possibly further. The Hartman
people are just beginning to find out
what splendid agricultural and mineral
section we have in this district and they
will not long overlook it when they see
what benefit it wonld be to their bust
ness. Nobody need be surprised to see
a spur line of road up through this val
lev before next Summer.

In all probability thriving town will
spring into existence on the other side
of Reservation hill on the road from
Yerington to Schurz, about is miles
northeast of this place. Messrs. Hoff
and Cutlery the former from San Fran
cisco and the latter from Los Angeles,
have made locations on three excellent
claims in that district, and have ore on
the surface which they are now sacking
for shipment. S. w. Gregory, of this
valley, is also interested with these gen.
tlemen in these claims and also in a
townsite which has been taken up about
eight miles from Schurz. Mr.. McPhail,
a real estate man of Reno, is also inter
ested in this townsite, which will be
known as Reservation Hill.
This townsite is outside of the old
Reservation lands and ON government
land. 1t is close to sidetrack of the Ne
vada and California railroad, is about
three miles from the Walker River, and
situated on gently sloping foothill. 1t
lies wholly in Esmeralda county.
Besides the parties above mentioned,
many others have made locations i'll that
vicinity, among them Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobs, of Oakland, the man and We

Another Railroad.

According to reports coming from the
southern section, the sale of the Nevada
Central railway, running from Battle
Mountain to Austin, has been effected
and within the next eighteen months it
will be carried southwark through Man
haitian and Tonopah to Goldfeld, dis
tance of seventy-mile miles from Battle
Mountain. The fact that Charles Lem
mon, one of the original promoters of
the Tonopah road, and H. W. Overman
are interested makes it appear that the
Brock syndicate, owning the Tonopah
system, is the controlling factor, but
there is strong belief that the Western
Pacific is participant i'll the alleged pur-
chase and that the road will become a
Southern Nevada feeder for the Gould
transcontinental line.
The first survey of the extension was
made six months ago. Since then five
more have been made, the surveyors
being dissatisfied with the heavy grades
that are encountered by the Manhattan
route. A suitable grade is said to have
been found in crossing the Austin sum-
init.
After crossing the summit out of Aus
tin the road strikes southwest through
Smokey Valley, which it follows closely
nearly all the remainder of the way.
Several big mineral districts are encoun-
tered on the route, chief among them
Manhattan, which is regarded as one of
the big low-grade districts of the State.
Charles Lennon, who is one of the
promoters of the project, is now in New
York conferring with men who are inter
ested.

MOTHER AND CHILD Die
FROM A MYSTERIOUS DISEASE

Portland, ore, March A-A despatch
from Albany. Ore. says: At Munkers In
Linn county n mother and child are dead
as the result OF mysterious disease OF
poison that attacks the throat. A large
number OF chickens similarly affected
have died. as have large numbers OF Wild
birds which have visited the place.
The victims Of the mysterious affliction
are Mrs. Thomas Mccain o al her little
daughter. A physician was called and he
pronounced Mrs. McClain suffering from
apoplexy. She clutched continuously at her
throat but was unable To- articulate. The
sufferings OF the little girl were ascribed
10 an attack Of Group. That the chickens
died of poisoning seems probable and the
neighbors believe that Mrs McClain and
her daughter died from some noxious
drug. An investigation will be held.
