10000 miles of transcontinental
tracks to Harrimans $4,000 miles,
has not spared expense. The Western
Pacific is boring forty-three tunnels,
making an aggregate of $4,000 feet
or eight and one-half miles of under
ground cut-offs. The longest is the
Spring Garden tunnel, beyond Oro-
vile, which is to be 1900 feet. Then
comes the Beckwourth pass tunnel,
5000 feet; the Flower Lake tunnel
over the Nevada, 5,664 feet, and the
next the Niles Canyon tunnel, 1000
feet.
Between San Francisco and Winnie
mucca, the Southern Pacific has line
sixty-three miles shorter than the
Western Pacific route but the Western
Pacific will save climb of 1000 feet,
and claims that with its easier grade
it will be able to make a passenger
train run in the same time with only
one engine, where the Southern
Pacific will have to use two, and spend
twice as much for operating expenses.
But it is in freight hauls that the
Western Pacific expects to score its
great saving. 1t will be able to pull
the biggest possible freight trains
with only one engine.
The valley land about Beckwourth
pass now produces hay only, but it
is said to be capable of good agricul-
tural crops if water can be brought
upon the land.

TREASURER IS
WELL SATISFIED
Says Tax Payments Are Being Made
at Better Rate Than Last Year
apparently Plenty Of Money.

County Treasurer Miles states that
tax payments for the county and
state are coming in more rapidly this
year than they did in 1906. Yester-
day there were twelve payments in
full of taxes amounting to $276.65,
and five part payments, amounting to
$124.15. total of $400.S0 for the
day.
Since the books were opened on
the first of the month, the receipts
have been well up to the average of
past years. There were thirty full
payments, in addition to those of yes
terday, and fourteen part payments,
making the gross receipts since the
first of the month, $1,0S7.69.
There is the usual amount of
complaining about hard times" said
the treasurer yesterday, "but every
one who has had a KICK, thus far,
has gone out and returned in short
time with the money to settle in full.
The money is coming in plentifully,
and we have no complaint to make.
This office would naturally feel a
pinch more quickly than an ordinary
business house but we have thus far
not felt any shortage of money

GOING TO NEW MEXICO.
Dave Sivycr, Old Time Friend of Gov.
George Curry, Will Woo For
tune There.

Dave Sivyer, who since last Janu-
airy has conducted transfer bust
ness here, will leave in few days
for Santa Fe, N NJ, where he goes
to try his fortunes at the invitation
of Governor George Curry, the
Rough Rider Governor" of New
Mexico.
Mr.. Sivyer has made many friends
here, who will regret his departure
He came here January l from Colo
rado, where he had been in public
life for many years. At different
times he was chief of police at Trim
idad and Loveland, Colo, and chief
of the fire department at Cripple
Creek.
During his boyhood at Trinidad
Mr.. Sivyer and Governor Curry were
schoolmates. Since early manhood
they have been warm political friends
in the ranks of the Republican party
Mr.. Sivyer wrote to his old time
friend a short time ago, asking him
what were the chances for money
making in New Mexico. The gov
ernor received his letter as he was
about to start for Washington, and
wrote to Sivyer to come on to New
Mexico, saying that it was good
country He promised to write more
fully upon his return, but Sivyer is
willing to take Governor Curry al
his word, and is now ready to dis
pose of his transfer business and &C
to the new country as soon as pos
sible.

MILLIONS OF SPAWN
Will BE Sent Out by Fish Commits
siOner for Nevada the Com
ing Year.

Emil Gutenberg, fish culturist, in
charge of the work of the Nevada
Fish commission, having completed
taking of the spawn of the eastern
brook trout, has gone to the Verdi
hatchery, says the Carson City News.
This hatchery will be remodeled and
put in order to handle two million
spawn of varieties of trout suitable
to Nevada waters. The work of the
commission has resulted this season
in the distribution of thousands of
trout, also large paintings of black
bass have been made.
1t has also introduced the craw-
fish which the commission secured
from Ashland, Ore; these have the
resemblance of the lobster, but are
strictly a fresh water fish and the
commission hopes they will adapt
themselves to the waters of this
state.
The commission now has in the
state hatchery at this place 800, 700
spawn of the eastern brook trout
that are doing well, these will be
transferred back to the hatchery at
Verdi and to these will be added
100000 additional of the same va
riety from the Colorado river and
100000 of the Mackinaw trout from
Michigan.

SEN. NIXON
IS OPTIMISTIC
Says Nevada In Best Shape-..Has
the BuIIiOn...WiII Not Attend
Opening Of Congress.

TONOPAH, Nov. Ex-senator
George S. Nixon was here for a few
hours today looking over the local
situation affecting his banking inter
ests. He came from Reno and left
this afternoon for Goldfield.
THE financial situation is improv-
ing said the senator to Sun repre-
sentative. Conditions are better at
New York and that is where the trou-
Bile started. 1t will not be long until
there is general Improvement.
I'VE in Nevada are in the best con-
dition. We are In shape to turn out
the bullion and hat IS what few
others can do"
The senator was asked to make a
statement about his own blinking af-
fairs, but on that he refused to talk
except to say:
you see we are open and doing
business. don't you? And we are go
ing to stay OPEN
1t is not the initial shipment of
coin alone after the recent holidays
that Mr. Nixon and his associates rely
upon, but the fact that other ship
ments are being received as they
are needed. The Nixon-Wingfield
banks are in the best of standing in
the east and elsewhere and are pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
1t is explained, however, that no
local bank can make practice of
cashing outside checks, for the rea-
son that if such was done enough
such checks would be presented in a
month to put any bank out of bsui-
ness. If outside banks would pay
the cash on checks or drafts sent to
them it would be different, but they
return no cash on such paper, plac-
ing local banks in a position where
they have to refuse to do these things
which they would like very much
to do if they could.
Realizing that practically nothing
is ever done by congress before the
holidays, Senator Nixon says he be-
lieves he can be of more service to
the state by remaining here "on the
bridge" till the first of the year.

LOST VALUABLE HORSE.
Fine Animal Belonging to Contractor
Injuries Itself so Badly That
Shooting Is Necessary.

Becoming frightened while the
wagon to which it was attached was
being loaded at the Eccles lumber
ward Yesterday afternoon, a valuable
horse belonging to Contractor II. E.
Schraven dashed from the yard to-
ward the street.
In its blind fright the animal
jumped into ditch, with result that
one of its forelegs was broken The
horse fell and the wagon ran on top
of it. When released the bone OF
the leg of the injured animal was
found broken through as cleanly as
it might have been severed by vet
erinary. Shooting was deemed abb
solutely necessary and Constable Al
Butler accordingly ended the ami
mails misery.

CROWD|NG
CONSTRUCTION
WESTERN PACIFIC Is PUSHING
ROAD WEST FROM SHAFTER
WITH ALL SPEED-WORK ON
DIVISIONS .fROM COAST.

Reports received from the front as
to construction work on the Western
Pacific west of Shafter, the junction
point with the Nevada Northern, tell
of very satisfactory progress being
made. Work is being crowded along
as rapidly as possible. Recently the
construction forces have secured a
good many additional men as the re-
suit of labor being released from
mines and reduction plant construc-
ton work. OF the work on the di-
visions building this way from the
coast. the following dispatch from
Oroville, Cal, tells considerable of in
terest:
The Western Pacific is now more
than half way through its 6000-foot
tunnel at Beckwourth pass, the lowest
of all the natural openings through
the lofty Sierra barrier.
The pass is formed by tableland,
upon which the ridges of the Sierra
dwindle until they leave a decided
gap through the range, forming a
level valley of about 900 acres. AS
the pass makes a horseshoe curve to
the southwark, the Western Pacific,
which is everywhere making cut-offs,
regardless of the cost of original con-
struction, is running it's line under
ground on a direct course that will
pass under the northern spur that
tapers down to the pass proper.
This Beckwourth pass was named
after a pioneer guide and pathfinder
named Jim Beckwourth, a negro, but
it has long been confused in name
with a small town up in that region
called Beckwith, after an army officer.
Beckwourth pass is the ideal gateway
in the Sierra, as it is 1000 feet lower
than any other known opening
through the range.
When the Central Pacific engineers
made their surveys they recognized
the grade advantages of this route,
but the initial transcontinental rail-
road could not risk the necessary en-
ormous expenditure. Hartman, rec
ognizing a lost opportunity, is de-
batting whether or not to spend
S3,000,000 in boring gigantic tunnel
through the Sierra at much lower
level than the present Central route,
in order to overcome the expense,
and the traffic difficulties of the tre-
mendous climb over barrier of
1000 feet high.
Beckwourth pass is 1000 feet lower
than the Southern Pacific's passage OF
the Sierra, and is below the snow
line, but to reach and use this pass,
the Gould system, with its network OF

Woman and Little Chill

OVER JEALOUS WORK
Intimated In Connection With Ar.
rest Of Austrian for Alleged
Sale Of Liquor Without License

With the husband and father in
Jail for a term of 60 days, and with
two little children under her care,
one in arms and the other mere in
fant, Mrs. Nikola Dobrovak Is in
pitiable plignI.
The little family formerly lived at
McGill The mother and children
have no home now, and are existing
as best they may. Dobrovak is in
Jail on conviction of having sold liq
uor without license. 1t is said the
liquor was not actually sold, but was
given away for the relief of a man
who claimed to be seriously i'll of
cramps, and who, when the liquor
was given him, threw a half dollar on
the table and left the place. A little
later the father was arrested on the
charge specified.
The incident occurred few days
ago at McGill According to the tes-
timony which was brought out at the
trial yesterday before Justice Cart
wright, the woman was in her little
home when man giving the name
of G.. C. Green entered and COM
planned that he was seriously i'll. The
woman. it is said, offered him drink
of liquor, which he took. He then,
it is said, asked for more and she
handed him a pint flask, telling him
he could have that. Green, it Is al
legged, then threw half dollar on
the table and walked out. A moment
later Deputy Sheriff Davis arrested
Dobrovak on the charge of selling
liquor without a license, alleging that
he was responsible for the action of
the wife.
Upon the arrest of the man, the
wife and children were brought here,
the mother to appear as witness.
They were penniless, and Tuesday
night slept in the Nevada Northern
passenger station. So far as Is known
they had little or no food yesterday,
though the kind hearted attaches at
the court house offered the mother
money. Further offers of aid were
made, but these were rejected by the
mother, who was either stubborn. or
else failed to understand the Ian
guage.
A pathetic incident occurred when
the father was led away to Jail yes
terday. The eldest child, a mere
toddler, followed him to the jail
door, and the deputy making the
commitment had difficulty in keep
ing the child out of the Jail when the
father was incarcerated
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing the mother and children re-
mained in the court room and about
the Jail, refusing to leave and re-
fusing all offers of aid The mem
bers of the jury who convicted Do
brovak were II. T. Porch, j. II. Bel
cher, Jercy Jackson, NJ Montgomery,
George H. Linsley, C. G. Cederstrom,
G.. A. Baker. Fred Joseph, George
Jackson, J. N. Watson and b. b.

guilty

POSTOFFTCE MAKES GAINS.
October Money Order Business i'm EX-
cess of September-Other Busi-
ness Also Larger.

Postmaster Graham has given out
figures for the Ely office during Oc-
tober which fail to show that there
has been any large falling off in ac-
tivity or in ready money here. The
money order business of the office
speaks most forcibly in this respect,
having shown gain over the pre-
vious month. The total amount of
money passed through the windows
of the office in October for orders
was $4,000.
Other business of the Ely office Is
holding up equally well, it being
probable that the year will witness
a decided increase in all departments
of the Office as compared with 1906.
How the fiscal year will come out re-
mains to be seen but the rate of in
crease so far would indicate an in
crease in government allowance to
the office as strongly probable.

Norton Boyd, aun.. for the
estate of Thomas johnson, has made
his final report to the district court
and asks that the estate be taken

Credit COnflagration"
Followed Attacks On
Capital.
PANIC WAS THE RESULT
COrnWelI Gives Students of Com.
merce PyrotechnicaI Opinion
Of Causes Of Financial Situation


NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-William G.
CornWell, former president of the
City National bank of Buffalo, and at
present associated with j. S. Bache
& Co., of New York, last evening ad-
dressed the students of the School of
Commerce, Accounts and Finance of
the New York university.
Mr.. Cornwell dwelt on the condi-
tions leading up to the present finan-
cial stringency and added:
"A gradual undermining of conf
dence starting about two years ago,
has finally eliminated in financial
disturbance of acute form, reaching
to every part of the United States.
! This disturbance-if SO mild a term
may be applied to what Representa-
tive Fowler calls the most frightful
confiagration of credit that has ever
visited the commercial world-this
disturbance has eliminated in violent
eruption, when the business of the
country is at great height of prosper
ity, crop yield enormous, and credit
not alarmingly extended. There is
every indication that some unusual,
sinister and destructive force has en-
tered into the problem, producing fa-
tai results to confidence, unwarranted
by ordinary economic workings. The
force, whatever it is, has wrought
such disaster as might follow the
entry into the earth's orbit, of some
enormous and mischievous comet
What is the force that has made such
deadly havoc?
Many have attributed the condi-
ton to overstrain of capital, the
world over, lack of sufficient capital
to do the worlds great business. This,
however, while it would produce re-
cession in business, thus supplying it's
own remedy, would be unlikely to
bring about a cataclysm with condi-
tions as sound as they are admitted
to be.
"Others have attributed the trou-
BILE to revelations of dishonesty in
business and corporate management.
Such disclosures, however, are nor
NAL, are always occurring, have not
been of undue proportion, and would
in ordinary times be rectifed, the
perpetrators punished, and the events
would pass into history as an object
lesson, insuring future better con-
duct
I'VE must look further for the real
cause. 1t is something entirely new
in the history of modern business,
and however well intended as re-
form of corporation manners, the
methods adopted have been so un
usual and SO violent that their i'm
port has been misunderstood by the
public.
"This real cause underlying all
others has been government attack
on corporations, widely advertised.
followed by legislative attacks in all
parts of the country, and all carried
on so persistently that our securities
first became distasteful. through
growing distrust of their manage
ment, to the investors of Europe, and
