SEVEN TROUGHS THE
MINING MANS MECCA
One Thousand Men in L0velock and More Com
ing---half a Hundred Bound for Winnemucca

Late reports from the new mining
district southwest of Winnemucca are
to the effect that the Seven Troughs
country is the great mecca for mining
men from all points of the compass.
One mining man who arrived in Win
nemucca this morning from Lovelock,
which is the nearest railroad point to
Seven Troughs, said that the town was
terribly Overcrowded, and that there
were 100 mining men in the town w..o
were coming to Winnemucca because
there were no accommodations thre
for them. A man considered himself
lucky if he could get a chair to sleep
in. Prices cut no figure, for men who
had their pockets full of money were
compelled to spend the night in cha r
or walk the floors Of the saloons or
streets till daylight, and then maybe
they could get the day shift in bed
This gentleman was from the south
ern part of the state, and he said
there were fully thousand men from
in and around Tonopah who were com
ing at an early date to the Seven
Troughs and Rosebud country, and
many of them intended also to visit
the new mining sections opening up
nearer the town of Winnemucca.
Others wanted to see the Parad;s
country, while still others intended.
going to Dyke, the Pine Forest range,
Golconda and numerous other places

heard of and some there were who
wanted to take look at it.

TOWN IS SHORT ON
COAL
SITUATION MAY BECOME
EXTREMELY SERIOUS
Possibility Of Railroad Tie-up Makes
the Situation More Graeye

Winnemucca is threatened with a
coal famine Last evening it was
given out that there was no coal in
town, and people who had orders In.
especially hotels and restaurants.
were alarmed. But this morning IL is
learned the Pearce and Summerfield
have one car, and it appears uncertain
when any more will arrive. The Peo-
pies Store ordered six care two weeks
ago and have not received any vet.
The apprehension $ greatly increas-
ed by the fear that no agreement will
be reached between the railroad IN.
ployes and employers and that the
big strike, which is scheduled for the
25th of March, will take place. in
which event all traffic will be tied up
and there is no telling how long it
will last.
One good thing about this bad fea-
fufe is that the winter is over and
the weather now is not cold and little
fuel for heating purposes will be re-.
quired.
Sage brush is handy and it can be
resorted to for cooking purposes for
family use, though hardly for hotel
and restauran tuse.

CARI.IN HOTEL
GOES UP IN FLAMES
CARELESSNESS CAUSES
A $4,000 FIRE IN HOTEL
Someone Left a Candle Burning and
It Set the House Afire

w. f. Linebarger's hotel at Carlir
was burned to the ground at o. 'clock
Monday afternoon. The fire started
in room II in the second story. The
gas plant, which was generally used
was broken down and candles were
out and leaving candle burning in
the room was the cause of the fire.
1t is said that high brick wall
which stood next to Mr.. Linebarg.
er's was the only thing that saved the
whole town from destruction. The
loss is estimated to be at least $4,000.

BACK

Up to the time of going to press
Tom Quong, the demented Chinaman
who escaped from his keepers and
ran away barefooted and without a
hat night before last, had not been
found
$ friends offered reward of $40
yesterday for his apprehension and re-
turn and several parties were looking
for him
His tracks were found yesterday af
ternoon going through shallow slough
north of town and going towards u
deeper one, into which 1T was feared
he had gone and been drowned. The
Chinese friends of the demented man
employed number of Indians to drag
the slough and their efforts not re.
sulting in finding the body. it was
concluded today that he must have
gone to Dun Glenn, a little mining
settlement about thirtyhve miles
southwest of Winnemucca.
The reason for believing that he
vent to Dun Glen is that he formerly
workeed there for a number of years
before coming to Winnemucca.
Search for him at that place will
be made as soon as parties can go
there. 1t is feared, however, that me
may have perished on the road or
poss bly, wandered off into the hills
while trying to get there.
Cinnamon say he is not nearly so
old as he looks. III health has aged
him in appearance greatly. One of his
friends said today that he was no older
