New York Traction Officials Fear Rev. citations Will Bankrupt Company.

New York, Aug.-So much has been unearthed by lawyers and account ants who are delving into the history of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company for the Public Service Com mission that a scandal almost equal to the insurance revelations is pre- dicted by persons conversant with the scope of the inquiry. The destruc- tion of books by the Metropolitan, though it has impeded the investiga- tion to a small extent, will not hinder the delivers from getting every fact relating to stock watering, gross ir- regularities in accounts and other al legged misdoings. These include charging to construction the salaries of officers of the company, as admit ted on the witness stand.
 Though the Metropolitan has de stroyed many of its records said an official, that will not prevent the commission getting the information 1t desires. The books would have help ed the investigators get the facts rather quickly, put really We VIII not be delayed much. Most of the facts the commission wants are on record in reports made to the railroad com mission or in other published re- ports that the company cannot hide. !"
 The officials say they are willing to accept any orders that the com mission issues directing them to bet ter the service of their roads, but they have pleaded with the commis. sion not to drive them into insolven. cy. That is virtually what the com mission will do, the officials assert, should it continue to probe into the stock issues, for it will be impossible for the companies to raise money, and their treasuries are not stocked bountifully,.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
Of Course the Story Teller Didn't
 Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has tale to tell of con- ditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwaist man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit every body down there had contracted of going without hats This is the way he told it to an interested company:
 You see everybody down there going about just the same The men never wear coats: they go about in just their shirts and trousers, and the women are just like them"

TUSCAR0RA MINES IN MERGER
Twelve Million Dollar Company
Formed to Take Over
Various Claims.

The formation of a merger corpor-
alton, to absorb wide range Of prop
critics at Tuscarora has been com.
pleted. 1t will be known as the
Tuscarora- Nevada Mines company and
is capitalized at $l2,000,000. The
following mines, which have produced
approximately $40,000,000, have
been secured: Navajo, Grand Prize,
Commonwealth, Queen. independence
North Belle Isle, DeFreeze and Dex-
ter. These mines have paid more
than $13,000.000 in dividends. The
purpose of the company is to close up
all options on properties not yet pur-
chased and to combine and operate
the S5-foot lode and placer claims
embraced in the mining properties
together with the power plants and
other properties that have to do with
the carrying out of the undertaking.
The average depth at which the
mines have been worked is about 300
feet, and the deepest workings are
only 700 feet. New shafts will be
sunk for deep mining, and dredges
and milling plants will be installed to
operate the nlacers.
With this awakening of the old
camp of Tuscarora, and the great ac-
tivity at Aura, Edgemont, Mountain
City and Columbia it looks as if
northern Elko county would make
noise very much like boom this sum-
mer.

New Workers After |. x. l.

1t is reported that New York par

property, twelve miles south of Dixie,
which has been operating for twenty
nine years and is one Of the oldest
shippers in Nevada, says the Wonder
Miner, This mine has long been con-
sidered merely as a silver mine.
However, a large and rich COZ per
deposit lies just west of the old mine
and it is understood that the New
York parties contemplate developing
this, as we'll as continuing work on
the old mine.
