Western Pacific development: Men
employed, 7,772; number of horses.
$500; monthly expenditures, ST.
100000.
There is no let up to construction
work in this state and Nevada by
the Western Pacific people, and there
will be none until the weather be-
comes too bad for men and teams to
be worked to advantage in the open.
This is the order sent out from New
York by George Jay Gould.
The contractors are employing
7,044 men, and the company 72S, a
total of 7,772. In addition, the con-
tractors have $500 horses at work.
Within three weeks all the track
will be laid from Sacramento west via
Stockton to Midway, in Contra Costa
county, about Is miles east, from
Oakland.
Track laying between Oakland and
Midway will be delayed until next
spring, pending the completion of the
4,2S7 foot tunnel in the Niles can
yon country.
Grading between Sacramento and
Marysville is progressing rapidly,
while the track is finished from
Marysville to point seven and a
half miles beyond Oroville, dis
lance of 80 " miles. Just as soon
as big steel bridge is completed over
the middle fork of the Feather river
the track will be extended nine miles
further. 1t will probably stop there
for the winter.
West of Salt Lake track has been
laid 10 miles, via Shafter, where the
Guggenheim road to Ely is crossed.
On the Niles canyon tunnel and
those being bored in the Sierra Ne
vada mountain country and over in
Nevada day and night shifts are con-
stantly at work and will be kept GO

is understood, are still intact with

ginning to believe from the way the

ventions of learned societies, college

1t is worth while to note the stern
fact that even the wonders of ere
alton do not actually attract any spe-
cial attention unless some advertis-
ing man gets busy. The railroads
really make Niagara Falls go. They
are advertising it continually as a
continuous performance, and filling
people with desire to go there, then
transporting them for a considera-
ton.

CURRENCY IS
DECLINED
Salt Lake Bankers Ask Secretary
of Treasury For Coin---CannOt
at This Time Let It Go.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 23.--At a meet
ing of the leading bankers of Salt
Lake on Wednesday it was decided
to ask Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou if, on the security of $500, 900
of the new per cent interest bear
ing certificates of indebtedness, the
issue of which was recently author
lied by the president, the secretary
70 the treasury would have additional
currency sent to the banks of this
city to increase the circulation here
1t was proposed to purchase and de-
posit the certificates with the gov
eminent if satisfactory arrangements
could be made whereby the currency
would be sent here on the security
thus given.
In answer to a telegram which was
at once dispatched to Secretary Cor
telyou, message was received
Thursday morning from j. e. Ed
wards, assistant secretary of the
treasury, to the effect that no money
could be sent to Salt Lake for the
present.
The probable explanation of this
is that the government wishes to dis
tribute the currency which, it is eX-
pecteQ, Will be put into clfculaIlOn as
result of the issuance of the certi-
ficates of Indebtedness, through the
banks of the larger cities, like New
York, Chicago, OF. Louis and San
Francisco, all of which are distribut
ing centers. That plan would facili-
tate the distribution, as the larger
cities could then more conveniently
forward the currency to the smaller
cities as they needed it than the
treasury could do so.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ADVER.
Using STOPS.

The following suggestive comment
appeared recently in The Philistine.
1t has been reprinted widely as a
| foreible example of the value of ad-
vertising. II 1t were not true it
would be undressing; because it is
undoubtedly true it is worth reading.
Time was when the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky was one of the wonders
of the world. The cave is there yet,
but only colored picnic parties go
there nof, or possibly an occasional
person wanders thither because he
remembers how. in days agone. his
father and mother made their we'd
ding journey there. and then came
home and talked of it for the rest
of their lives.
Records can be seen at the Mann
moth Cave hotel showing the exact
number of persons who have visited
the cave since this hotel was opened
in 1897. 1t is worth while to note
that in the year 1914 an average of
90 persons per day were shown the
wonders of the Mammoth Cave, while
in 1905 the average, not counting To-
cal picnic parties, was less than a
dozen. In 1914 the population of
the United States was less than
twenty millions, and there was not a
railroad in the state of Kentucky.
And yet people came here from all
the New England and middle states
by the hundred Edward Everett
guided a party of New England
school teachers here in the summer
of lS47. They came by way of Pitts
burg, taking a steamer thence to
Greensboro, KY. and then by stage
a two days ride-S0 miles-to the
cave.
The hotel is here now practically
as it was then, and one can easily
| believe that no new furniture has
been added. From 1910 to 1870
scarcely a person of note then liv-
ing but visited the cave; it was sort
of finishing touch to ones education,
and people who could not talk intel
ligently of Niagara Falls and the
Mammoth Cave, had no standing in
polite society.
Everett gave lectures at Harvard
on the Mammoth Gave. Webster
gave great speech at the cave in
1854, and Emerson, in his essays,
several times refers to his visit here,
telling of the fish that have no eyes
to see. Barnum brought Jennie Lind
here and she sat in a Stalagmite
chair that is now proudly pointed out
by the guides. From the year 1850
to the breaking out of the war in
1861, there were held over 800 con-
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-11-25

all intent on spending the beautiful
income that was forced upon them
from this magnificent paying prop
erty.
Every person who went into the
cave paid 81 for the privilege-it was
a monopoly. People would come, of
course; there was no other cave to
go in.
But soon the people ceased TO
come.
The advertising man was dead.
Humanity slipped back into indif-
ference. They forgot to think of
caves or gently pooh-poohed them.
Caves are not necessary to human
happiness. Caves are not necessary
until some man by astute advertising
fills us with the desire to see them.

more or less friction between the
