Driver of Stage Line Between New
Camp and Lovelock Says Best
Connections Could be Made
with Winnemucca
Especial Correspondence )

The camp of Dixie. located on the
west side of the old Humboldt salt
marsh, about 60 miles south of Winnie
mucca, is having little boom at this
time. There are number of people
in the camp and a stage line is being
operaed between the new camp and
Lovelock. This camp in the past has
gone under the name of Camp Carpen-
ter, and by many it is still known by
that name. Recent new strikes in diff
ferent properties there have caused a
new rush to the district Lew Morse.
formerly of Paradise Valley, is driv-
ing stage between Dixie and Loveloca
and he was interviewed by a Silver
State News correspondent last week.
Mr.. Morse believes that the camp
of Dixie should claim attention from
the citizens of Winnemucca, since the
easiest and best mode to reach tne
new camp this winter will be from
this town. The camp is closer 10
Lovelock than Winnemucca, but rigs
travelling between the two camps are
forced to travel over high noun
tain which in the winter time will he
impossible. The route to the new
camp from Winnemucca lies down
Grass valley, through Pleasant valley
and Salt Marsh valley to the west siGo
of the salt marsh. Thos is a good
road and is easily travelled at all times
of the year.

From the Reno Journal.
Why are mining claims named as

wonders why, Just as the average buy
er of stock wonders. Phil came back
from the north recently where he
has located what he says is good
prospect, and while in the Overland
lobby he was discussing with the clerk
fit name for the find. "Tri state'
was decided on when the locator ex-
planned that he first intended calling
it the "'Twin Citics,'' because it is
situated at the intersection of the Or
gon, Idaho and Nevada state lines.
Blume explained that ''rri state +"
was good enough, but he rather liked
Twin Cities,' for the reason that
when the mine began to pay the towns
that would grow up on ither side of
the state divisions could also be nam
ed, each one to be called by differ
ent appellation,
Blume discovered the Brown Palace
at Rose bud Blume conducted the au-
tomobile line from Winnemucca to
Rosebud until he got too much money.

he is one of the goldmade men. In
the meantime he will continue in the

in the road At the same time hobo
saw it too. Mr.. See got down off the
wagon to get it. but the hobo beat
him to it and pulled it out from under
the wagon. He opened it and pulled
out a roll of bills that made his eyes
bulge out.
Here, give that to mo- said Mr..
See
"In wack it up with you,' said
the hobo
Nothing doing, said Mr.. See,
GIVE been looking for that pocket
book; the fellow that lost it told me
to keep my eve peeled for it, and so
he made the hobo give it up
There were $40 in bills nd quite a
number of checks, signed by various
parties and made payable to diff, rent
people. Mr.. See came to the Silvere
State News office to put an ad in the
paper, but before the paper was print
ed he learned that the poeketbook was
lost by Carl IIaviland. and he notified
Mr.. IIavi.and at once.
II was lucky for Mr.. IIaviland that
Mr.. Sec happened along just when he
did. or he would never have recovered
the money The hobo might have
eashed the checks, as they were all
endorsed.

RAISING THE PRICE
OF COAL

OGDEN, Utah, Aug. 2S.-Again
have the coal barons tightened their
grip on the throats of the consumer
and have bosted Wyoming Goals 81
per ton and the Utah product so cents
per ton. The advance took effect yes
terday morning and all orders, no mat
ter when they were received, that had
not been filed at that time, were only
filed under the advanced rate.
From Monday on the price of Wyo-
ming coal will be So a ton for lump
and nut and 1915 for slack. The cost
to jobbers of Wyoming coal has ad-
vanced 81, and to .jobbers of Utah coal
80 cents ton, so that the increase in
retail prices has been advanced ex-
actly the same as the advance on
wholesale shipments.
President Bamberger of the Bam-
berger Coal company at Salt Lake is
quoted as saying: HThe condition is
serious enough, but L think it has
been somewhat exaggerated in the

following dispatch to the Deseret
News from Rock Springs, and that is
in the nature of remote hope, as it
will be long time before the public
can reap the benefit, even should it
be true:
AS result of the increase in wag
es and shorter hours in Wyoming coal
mines, there is general influx of
American miners to all the coal mines.
All are given employment as fast as
they come, and at the rate of arriv-
ais it will not be many months until
the mines of Wyoming will be fully
manned, and for the first time in a
quarter of century. 1t is expected
that as rapidly as the operators can
do so, the coolie labor will be replaced
with white men. Miners assert that

best paid miners of their class in the
world. miner that is at all indus

National bank, which was not in

So rapidly did the fire spread that
within two hours arfter the alarm was
sounded three of the principal busi-
ness blocks were in ashes. The lower
portion of the town was saved by di-
recting the whole available water sup
ply on the Reception and covering
the building with wet blankets. Had
the fire not been checked here the
whole lower portion of town would
undoubtedly have been destroyed.
Nothing was saved from N Levy

gutted.
