WANT 8 HOUR LAW ENFORCED
Train Dispstchers Move Againt the
Railroad Company

Reno, Nevada, June S-The train
dispatchers and operators in the Sparks.
Reno and Verdi offices have asked DIS
trict Attorney Moran to begin proceed
ings against the Southern Pacific Com
pany for not obeying the eight-hour
law passed by the last session Of the
Nevada Legislature. The law provides
that all railroad companies in Nevada
shall not require train dispatchers or
operators working ou main lines in the
State to work more than eight hours.
The railroad company some time ago
gave out the information that it was
preparing to obey the law, but mp to
the present time has done nothing in
regard to it. The dispatchers and oper-
ators sent a Committee to District At
torney Moran, but he refused to take
any action. They will again ask him
to force the railroad company to rec
ogn zs the law, and If he again refuses
they will appeal to the Attorney Gen.
eral and probably to the Nevada Rail-
road Commission.
The law was passed for the purpose
of forcing the railroad companies TO
keep fresh men at the keys, and thus
guarantee the people more protection.

While in the lower camp, Mr.. Smith
held a conversation with a Chicago
man who shed little light on one of
the reasons for the decline of Nevada

up to three and one quarter per cent.
However, in the tabulation every min.
ing company that ever was named was
included, while only the cream of the
railroads were brought in. This cir
cular was sent out all over the coun.

NEvADA'S NEW RAILROAD LAW
Commission Has Heard From All
Except Southern Pacific
and San Pedro

Carson News, June 8: All OF the rail-
roads Of Nevada with the exception OF
the Southern Pacific aud San Pedro
have notified the railroad commission
that the maximum rates of the Syphus
bill will be observed aud that within q
short time revised tariff will be issued
in conformity with the rates set by that
law. The commission is not aware as
yet what the decision of the Southern
Pacific and the San Pedro roads will be.
If the two roads do not amicably agree
to establish the rates set by the Syphus
measure steps will be taken Immediately
after the time limit to compel an OBJ
servance of the rates.
As a consequence Of the new rates 60
illg into effect several rates now in
vogue on the roads will be raised, the
railroads taking this method to partially
recoup for the losses owing to the re-
duction. Several companies having
special rates on the Virginia and
Truckee will suffer an increase in their
rates and it is understood that other
roads will raise a number of articles
which are now hauled for less than the
maximum rate 70 that scale. This will
no doubt cause considerable furry
among some of the shippers. several Of
whom have already been notified Of the
proposed increase.
Yesterday Commissioner J. F..
Shaughnessy started for trip along the
Southern Pacific road east from Reno.
He will meet the shippers at Wells.
Elko, Winnemucca and other points in
the eastern part of the State to gather
data aud investigate conditions in that
section. He will likely spend from q
week to ten days on the work.
Commissioner Bartine, chairman Of
the board. will leave Carson City this
morning for trip to the towns along
the @. & q. and the Tonopah and Gold
field. Hawthorne, Tonopah, Goldfield
and other points will be visited. Mr..
Bartine will meet the shippers of that
section. and il any have complaints, ar
rangements will be made to have a
hearing at an early opportunity. Other
data which will be used by the com.
mission will also be gathered.
Commissioner Thurtell is still in the
East investigating the methods and
gathering data from the workings Of
other railroad commissions. He will re.
turn home shortly and then the full
commission will hold a meeting and
take action in regard to the observance
of the maximums as set by the Syphns
bill aud also on the data gathered by
the three commissioners.

GoIdneld Mine Must Pay Tax

Goldfield. Nevada, June 12-The
County Commissioners have ruled that
the mines of the Consolidated Mining
Company and others located within the
local school district must pay the
special school tax Of $l.35 on the net
bullion returns of the mines. The
commissioners were inclined to refrain
from imposing this tax on the miners.
Dat the new State law leaves no other
course. The only tax which the mines
now avoid paying Is the special fire,
which amounts TO so cents.

Bert l.. Smith Predicts Big
Change in Mining Stocks
Within Sixty Days
From the Tonopah Sun of June 8.

WIG Avtopoh Jun VI ouuc o.
Very optimistic is the view that Bert
l.. Smith. well known local mining
man, takes of the present situation in
regards to stocks and mines. while
the stock market looks bad" said Mr..
Smith, that should cause no anxiety.
All that is to be done is to hold on to
the stocks. For those who are not able
to hold on of course the decline comes
as severe blow. The mines of south
ern Nevada are in better condition than
ever before and there is more ore in
sight. and the decline surely is not
caused from actual conditions as they
exist
I'm 90 days / predict that there will
be turn for the better that will be so
great and rapid that all will sit up and
wonder and dream of the money they
might have made. For instance. right
here in Tonopah, with the Belmont
