RAILROAD IS DOING
MUCH FOR BULLFROG
Las Vegas and TonOpah Route
Trying to Forestall All
Its Competitors.
Spocial 10 The Tribune

Special 10 The Tribune.
RHYOLITE, New, March 3l-The in
terest which tho Salt Lake people who
are behind the Las Vegas and Tonopah
road are taking in the southern Nevada
fields has not only been shown by the
care with which j. Ross Clark has gone
over this district with General Freight
and Passenger Agent f.. w, Gillett. but
also by letter which r. u. Whittcmore
has received FROM G. o. Whittemore.
G. O. Whittemore is the attorney for
the Salt Lake route and is one of the
men behind the new 100000 hotel which
Curtis Mann and r. Il, Whtemore are
engineering. The salt Laker writes that
he will be on the ground within a few
days with the capital which Is needed TO
complete the enterprise; When this Is
taken in conjunction with the plans Of
Gillett for an improved passenger and
freight service the southern mining
camps are shown TO be even more In the
gncd.
Gillett has arranged for a daily Pull
man service To Rhyolire direct from Los
Angeles and Salt Lake and has changed
the schedule OF trains in such q way that
rs soon as the through line TO Salt Lake
is repaired trains will leave Rhyolitc at
noon and will arrive from Las Vegas
at $50 O'Clock instead of at 9.
Increased freight service Will be in
stalled rs soon as the line Is opened to
clean up the congested condition Of the
main line sidIngs and TO take care OF the
large amount Of shipping ore that is be-
ing sacked at the Gold Bar, the Tramp,
the Shoshone, The Homestake and the
Gibraltar, the National Bank and the
Victor as well at the mines OF the Lee
district. 1t is understood that the In
creased service offered by the Salt Lake
Is In direct line with the policy that is
being fostered TO make it practically i'm
possible for the Brock line which has
been practically completed as far as

NEVADA WONDER.
Another Big Strike Made in Fine Won
der District Mine,

Another rich strike was made on the
Nevada Wonder mine Monday afternoon,
a large ledge OF very rich ore being brok
ell INTO in the Wine Of the Badger claim.
The ore is similar to the other rich ere
which is found on the big mine, but it is
thought to be richer than any which has
been encountered heretofore. No ASSAYS
have as yet been made Ore is now be-
ing taken from the big mine in six diff
fereRt places and a force OF thirty men
is employed constantly. The winze Is
now down cighty-ilve feet, which depth
gives l66 feet OF backs on one of the
large lodges which are being worked and
137 feet on the other. The inclined road
which will be built from the main tunnel
to the flat Will be started as soon as ma
teria arrives. IL will be about two hun
dred feet In length and Will be used sole
~ for the purpose OF getting the ore
from the tunnel to the fiat. from where il
will be shipped. The ore cars Will be

but the dealers In the metal Itself say
there Is not the least sign OF break be-

Teau.
In the face Of the fact that there have
been no concessions 10 the actual buyers
of copper. there has been a shrinkago

stocks amounting TO over S2S5s sOOOOOOi :
There are no accommodations OF the metal
at any point. 1t will be recalled that the
collapse OF the last 11-cent market In
1900 was the result of the accumulation OF
200, 900 000 pounds or more by interests
identified with the Amalgamated Copper
company. Today neither the producer.

any unsold stocks on hand,-a most I'M

treat-aud OF course some day the price

District Turning Out Resources
to Present Better Argument
TO Railroads.
MUCH ACTIVITY IN
NOTED OLD DISTRICT
Eastern Capital Getting Busy
and Gathering in Some
Good Properties.

With n resignation born OF many SINH
lar trials in past years, the noted old
mining camp or Phoebe has settled down
TO solid mining basis until such time
as railroad facilities viii place the great
resources of that section or Nevada with
in living reach of the ore markets. Had
IL not been FOR the railroad washouts
along the salt Lake Route in Nevada
II Is practically certain that the branch
line from Caljonte would have been well
under way to Phoebe by the presen, time,
AS II is. no one claims to be sufficiently
near TO the inner circles to predict with
any degree of certainty just when the
railroad company will find time to begin
this badly needed branch.
There can be no question, however
that railroad facilities are to be given
Pioche. The companies now operating
there show their confidence in this by
going ahead installing expensive equip
ment and opening up heretofore unsound-
ed depths on all sides Of the camp They
also are following the only logical line OF
camp, for with each months work there
greater ore tonnage is developed. and Il
stronger argument Is presented the rail
road officials. Visitors from the camp
are unanimous IN bewailing the present
wretched condition OF the road from Call
cnte to Phoebe. but not one can find a
single cloud to choke off enthusiasm or
provisions for n great future,
Strong interests already are located in
Phoebe. and working properties, while

GOOD ADVICE GIVEN
TO ALASKA VISITORS
National Geological Survey Has
Maps That Every Visitor
Should Study.

There Is world OF advice and caution
to be gwen those intending to visit
Alaska for pleasure-for sightseeing. II
you are old. go by all means; but II you
are young. wait. The scenery of Alaska
is much grandcr than anything else OF the
kind I'm the world and 1t is not well to
dull ones capacity for enjoyment by
seeing the finest first" So says Henry
Gannett Of the United States Geological
survey in a report on the geography OF
Alaska. He might have added that It
would be well to take time. before start
ing on the journey. to study the topo-
graphic and geological model OF Alaska
which the survey has prepared and Will
exhibit at the jamestown exposition.
This model which has been construct
ed as though II were portion OF
globe with diameter OF sixteen feet,
shows the dominant features IN an easily
legiblc manner. The horizontal scale is
above forty miles to the !nch and the
vertical elevation is exaggerated about
five times. For comparison Il small map
of the United States with Alaska on pre-
cisely the same scale printed on 1t is at
tached to the model II may thus be
really is. One may more easily compre
hend therefore that the climate and
character of different parts OF Alaska
arc as different AS those OF Georgia and
np!lHeIU NllIlESSOti, OF s'Ouiu Sdlpi'bii
and California.
The model shows In striking form that
there are four major belts which diner
from adjacent areas In amount and char
acter OF relief. Other features of some
general Importance are also represented
on the model, such as the character OF
the sea floor off the Alaskan coast and
the distribution of the various deposits OF
economic Importance. AS n graphic rep
resentation OF facts is always more i'm
pressive than n written statement regard
ing them. this model win tell to many
minds story that the published reports
have failed 10 make clear.
