HOTEL WAGON
DRIVER HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Friday morning Genine Caesar, driv
er of the Lafayette hotel wagon, had
marrow escape form death The
team he was driving was standing on
Sixth street at the rear of the hotel.
when the horses became frightened,
starting on the run towards ti'ridge
street. The driver, in attempting to
sieze the reins, that were slipping ov-
or the front of the wagon, lost his
balance and fell out of the seat ito
the doubletree. This frighttn ned the
animals all the more, and they das ed
headlong down the street in III
flight. Caesar managed to grasp tle
tongue of the wagon and hung on ~
his teeth and toe nails for two ri cks
and had arrived at point in fro, of
the hotel, when the driver lost his
hold and fell to the ground, 9th
wheels of the wagon passing over his
body.
The injured man was taken t" the
hotel and was attended by DIR. Man
gan, who reported that although adly
bruised, no bones were broken. The
team, after circling the block, stopped
in the rear of the hotel without 'oing
any further damage.

THE WESTERN PACIFIC rs
A VERY EXPENSIVE LINE

Few people realize the vast amount
of money it takes to build railroad,
especially through the deep canyon of
the North Fork and the Feather river
in California on the line of the West
ern Pacific The one item of powder
used is beyond realization.
A railroad contractor estimates that
on an average 100000 cubic yards of
material per mile had to be removed
in building the Western Pacific
through the Sierras, about 85 miles
from Oroville to the American valley.
For powder to remove this mater
ial it costs about 10 cents per cubic
yard. On the basis of the estimate by
the man mentioned, the cost of the
powder used on the road between the
two points would be $S5,00U.
The portion of the Western Pacific
from Oroville up the canyon of the
North Fork, East Branch and Spanish
creek to the town of Beckwith is ono
of the most expensive pieces of rail
road construction in the west.
The contractor states that he had
seen pieces few miles in length that
were as difficult and costly to build as
this portion if the Western Pacific.
but considering the long stretch of
road through the Sierras, he said it
was without an equal in the west il
point of difficult and expensive con
struction, but when finished it would
be one of the best roads, if not the
best, traversing the continent.
While this well known contractor
makes these statements, it is extreme.
ly doubtful if the Gould line will
cost more per mile of construction
than the Moffatt road out of Denver
This road at one point crosses the di-
vide at 90 feet. 1t is thought that
a tunnel several miles long will be
constructed to obviate the necessity
for such big climb.-Elko Free

THE CZAR OF RUSSIA
BUYING MINES IN NEVADA

From the Sparks Forum.
For the past three months the ear
of Russia, or at least parties close to
the throne of Russia have had repre-
scntativcs in Nevada quietly pur-
chasing mining property. The bust
ness has been carried on through the
Minor Gum Investment company. So
quietly has the work been going or
that it was not until this week that
the fact was discovered. S. Linevich
= personal representative of the czar
md himself of the Russian nobility,
and man thoroughly versed in tho
mining business has been directing
operations in Nevada for his distin.
guished client.
J. Il. Heron, field engineer for the
Minor Gum company, has been pass
ing upon the purchases made. AS re.
suit the Russians now own property
in White Pine county, Fairview, Won,
der, Rosebud, Ycrington, Goldfield,
Manhattan, Tonopah, and several
claims in the northern portion of
Washoe county.

MEN FROM MAZUMA TAKE
OVER WE'LL KNOWN PROPERTY
Big Ledges Of Free Milling Gold will
be Developed on Large Scale
History of the Property

A mining sale of unusual import
ance was transacted in Winnemucca
Saturday, when A. M. Latta of the
Peoples store and the Carpenter
brothers, C. b. and Frank, sold their
entire interests in the Black Diamoa.d
group of five claims, in the Antelope
range, IL miles north of Rosebud, to
A. T.. Hathoway and associates, of
Mazuma, for a consideration OF
$4,000.
The purchasers took formal posses
sion of the property this morning, and
they have stated their intentions of
Immediately putting a force of men
to work to further open up the proper
ty. The man who acted as the pur-
chasing agent, C. T. Hathoway, has
long had an eye on the Black Dia-
mond mines, and has made two diff
ferent examinations Of the property
one a year ago and another recently,
when he had the opportunity of see-
ing the property further developed.
water right from the Loco springs
with flow of four and five miners
inches of water, also went with the
purchase of the famous mining prop
erty.
The Black Diamond group of claims
has been well known mining property
because of the immensity of the gold
bearing lodges. Although some sen
sational assays have been obtained
from samples of ore from the claims,
one in particular running $3.50 to the
ton, the property was always consid
cred valuable, because of the vast
amount of ore that could be taken
out that would run around $40 to the
ton. The property then could only
be handled ON very large scale, and
the former owners spent their time in
opening up the vast storehouse of
precious mineral development has
gone on steadily ever since the prop
erty was discovered, over four years
/ ago, by G. B. Carpenter, and over 300
feet of tunneling, besides numerous
shafts and cuts have been worked.
/ tunnel on one of the claims cross
cut the ledge at a depth of so feet,
and there showed it to be 40 feet in
width. Numerous overtures looking
toward a purchase have been made to
the owners in the past, but they,
realizing the value of the property,
refused to sell for less than they be-
lieved the mines to be worth.
A. M. Latta and the Carpenter bro
theirs own one or two other groups of
claims in the vicinity Of the Black
Diamond, the Victor and the Cannon
Ball groups. Good assays have been
taken from these properties, and som Q
development work has been done.
They state that with the selling of
the Black Diamond, they intend to
, prosecute further development on
these last named properties.

J. Sibbald is down from Golconda.

The Western Pacific will inaugurate
regular freight and passenger. service
on its line between Salt Lake and
Bews, Nevada, October l.
This was the announcement made in
Salt Lake by the officials of the road,
who have pust returned from trip
over the line. Bews is the point at
which the Western Pacific intersects
the Nevada Northern.
The announcement has been expect
ed for Several weeks, as it has been
known for some time that the officials
of the road were rushing work as rap
idly as possible to open the Ely terri
tory this fall.
An Important Line.
The Importance of the opening oper-
ations of the Western Pacific cannot
be overestimated. Ely's only outle t
now is by the Southern Pacific into
the inter-mountain country. The
Western Pacific means a shorter and
quicker route.
The officials say the labor situation
on the western end of the road, and
particularly in Nevada, are better
than they have been for months. Men
are more plentiful and new gangs are
being put on daily by the contractors.
Engineers are Relieved.
The engineers of the road are great
ly relived by the lowering of Salt
lake during the past two weeks. The
lake has been going down steadily and
trains are being operated over the
nine miles of track that skirt the
shore. When the lake is high and the
wind strong the waves are thrown
with great force upon the tracks, ano
it is considered unsafe to operate
trains at such times. The engineer,
declare that the entire noine miles o.
track must be riprapped before th'
line will be absolutely safe. 1his will
be done gradually. Much of the tract
has already been so protected alon.

and the hundreds of prospeetors and
travellers who have passed over the

that was expressed on all sides in
the town of Golconda vest rday.
Work in the various mines and
claims in Gold Run district in the vi.
cinity of the Adelaide hosting works
has gone on during the past week un.
ccasingly. In the first drift, on the
35-foot level, at the Gold Coin mine
a rich body of ore was encountered
in which the gold could be easily seen.
and some beautiful samples of the
rock were brought To Goleonda by
Mcssfs. Hille and Spear Saturday
night. The strike in the Gold Coin
reported in the Silver State News last
week was made in an upraise in t.e
second drift in the mine, on the 10
foot level, and it is now believed that
this strike was from the same depos
il as the one which we chronicle to
day, which would indicate that the

BELIEVES HE HAS
FOUND A COAL MINE

Paul Ehlers was in Golconda this
week with samples of substance which
he believes contains coal. He brought
the stuff from Golden Circle, a camp
near Squaw valley, and has sent it
away to the professor of mininog at
the State university to get an analy-
sis of it. The substance very closely
resembles coal and Mr.. Ehlers states
that, placed in a. furnace, it will ig-
