LOS ANGELES FIRMS SELLING
TO MINE OWNERS
Rivalry for Placing Machinery Sharp
Between Angel City, Denver, Salt
Lake and San Francisco.
Railroad Advantages
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, April 2S.-The re-
cent washouts upon the Salt Lake road
and the fact that the road through
from Goldfield has only just been COM
Lake and Denver to lose to Los Angeles
much of the mining machinery trade Of
southern Nevada.
Denver agents have been canvassing
the Nevada field for the past two years,
but in the last month have lost most
of the ground gained to Fairbanks
Morse of Los Angeles.
The representatives of this firm has
practically obtained control Of the
southern Nevada trade for Los Angeles,
and within the past month has sold
more than $4,000 worth of mining ma
chinery, hoists and supplies in the Bull
frog. Lee and Echo districts.
The coming Of the road from Gold
field will mean an increased competition
for Los Angeles from San Francisco
supply houses, as the delivery of goods
will thus be taken from the control Of
the Salt Lake road.
Supplying the Mines
The mines of the Lee district that
have already been supplied from Los
Angeles since the washout are the Lee
Bonanza, a 25-horse power hoist to be
set up when the present 50-foot contract
has been completed; the Hidden Treas
ure, a 15-horse power hoist; the Hay
seed, 25-horse power hoist, and the
Burro, a 25-horse power hoist.
In the Bullfrog district the Home
stake people have ordered a 40-horse
power hoist for the Napoleon mine,
besides the 40-horse power just set up
on the Homestake proper
The Bullfrog Teddy has installed a
15-horse power, and the new electric
light plant of the city has been equipped
with two S0-horse power multiple cylin-
der, verticle distillate engines from Los
Angeles.
The fact that there is a difference
between the Los Angeles and Salt Lake
freight rates of cents per 100 has done
more than anything else to swing the
balance to the Southern California city.
At the present time all smelling from
the district is done at Salt Lake, but as
soon as the San Pedro smelter is COM
plete there will be another battle for the
possession of Nevada trade, and unless
the freight rates are shifted Los An
geles probably will win out.

SEARCHLIGHT, New, April 2S.-
Following the railroad day exercises a
number of large realty deals were con-
summated at the terminal, and plans
outlined for extensive building opera
tions, including a hotel, store buildings
and a stone bank. 1t was definitely an
nounced by the Santa Fe officials that
the depot would remain at Terminal,
and preparations are being made by
business houses to erect warehouses
and other buildings.
Later when buildings contracted for
are completed, f. ]. Abbott Will hold
a. big celebration at which open house
will be maintained and visitors will be
shown the time of their lives. During
the past month hundreds of building
lots have been disposed of at the ter
minal, and with the buildings con-
templated this portion of Searchlight
will soon rival the old town in popu-
lation. While here Mr.. Abbott and
several stockholders examined the
Searchlight Mammoth, in which he is
heavily interested, and found the prop
erty in excellent shape, and develop
ment work progressing rapidly. A good
showing has been uncovered and the
ledge gives promise of developing into
large proposition.
Railroad Day Welcome
Senator Henry e. Carter gave the
address of welcome on railroad day.
1t was a gem. He said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1 have been requested to extend
to you a hearty welcome to our city.
For several years past the citizens of
Searchlight have looked yearningly
across the valley for the train of cars
that is realized today. In honor of
that we have made this a gala occasion
of feasting and good fellowship and
ask you to join us in commemorating
the great occasion.
Now, my friends, out into this
desert place, where you have come, is
one of the richest mining sections in
the entire country. Within your hear
ing you can hear the pounding of the
engines and the grinding of the stamp
mills. We have here one of the great
est gold mines in this or any other
country. Surrounding you-yes, be-
meath your very feet-the ground is
permeated with the precious minerals
Today we offer you every facility
within our power, to visit the various
mines. That a great future is In store
for this camp you will all agree.
"I am mot going to tire you with ex-
tended remarks. 1t is customary to
offer the key to the city, but | shall
not, as it is already wide open."

To Protect Pearl Fisheries.

Dr. George F. Kunz. who is aiding the development of Arkansas diamond fields, is also actively engaged in pushing the movement to save the Western pearl fisheries from destruc- tion. A few years ago mussels, from which pearls are obtained, were plen- tiful in all the Western rivers, but owing to their promiscuous slaughter by the fishermen the number is being rapidly diminished. New York dealers headed by Dr. Kunz, have recently sent petition to the proper authori- ties at Washington asking that con- ditions affecting the mussels be inves- tigated and steps taken to prevent their total extermination Federal commissioners have already started on a trip to investigate the Arkansas pearl fisheries of White river. After making this trip a report will be issued on the subject and it is thought that the industry will be placed under federal control in a short time

 "Pshaw!" he exclaimed. With 300 Venezuelans I could have taken it in four days"
 With thousand, in one day, your excellency," said the diplomatic rep resentative of European power

A Bronx man tells it about his little boy The neighbor's young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie and the other youngsters in the block had been asked not to make any noise in the streets. The neighbor's bell rang one day and she opened it to find Willie standing bashfully on her front steps.
 How is he to-day?" he inquired in a shy whisper
 He's better. thank you. dear, and what thoughtful child you are to come and ask"
 Willie stood a moment on one foot and then burst forth again. I'm orful sorry Jimmy's sick"
 The mother was profoundly touched She could find no further words to say, but simply kissed him. Made still bolder by the caress, Willie began to back down the steps. repeating at in- tervals his sorrow for his playmate's illness. At the bottom step he halted and looked up.

Deaths from X.Rays.

The death of Dr. Weigel, surgeon of Rochester, from a disease due to the constant use of the X-rays makes the fourth who has lost his life from this cause, says the Christian Advo- cate.
 The others were an assistant of Thomas Edison, Boston physician and woman of San Francisco named Fleischman. In the case of Dr. Wei. gel since 1904, when his right hand and all but the thumb and finger of the left hand were removed, there had been four operations in trying to save his life. The first removed a part of the right shoulder: then a part of the muscles covering the right breast.
 Mystery completely envelops the cause of death, the disease being un- known to medical science, though it Is believed to involve some great prin- ciple of life. Dr. Weigel was presi- dent of the Rochester Academy of Medicine and the American Ortho, paedic society

Frisco Buys Bridge.

The Fort Smith and Van BGren Bridge Company has conveyed to the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company the bridge across the Arkan- sas river between Fort Smith and Van Buren. The consideration named in the deed is s500,000. This bridge was built in 1886 and as it's officers were closely identified with the directorate of the Frisco system, it was simply a corporation within a corporation. The Iron Mountain has paid minimum rental of $1,000 per month to run their passenger trains over the bridge between Fort Smith and Van Buren ever since the completion of the struc- ture, and it is believed here that before their lease expires in 1911 they will have a bridge of their own at this point and over which the Cur don branch will connect with the con. tral division of the system.

One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says:
 Formerly I was a slave to coffee. was like morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when l did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob- linS, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writ ing locked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges- tion, heartburn and palpitaticn of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc.
 Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when friend advised me to leave of coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused tc believe it the cause.
 But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for l finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the com ing of Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the rnOnsfar coffpo
