MAKE FINE PROGRESS
ON WESTERN PACIFIC
Lab0rers More Plentiful and Good
ROadbed Is Nearing Com
pletiOn.

OGDEN, Sept. 29.-Manager w.
Fl. Watts of the Utah Construction
company returned this afternoon
from the scene of operations on the
Western Pacific railway. He reports
that on the $50 miles which are be-
ing constructed by the local COM
pany work is progressing nicely and
that labor conditions are better than
they were few months ago.
He states that the heaviest work
is being done in the Feather River
region. Large gangs of men are en-
ployed there and rapid progress is
being made. The total length of the
line is about 900 miles, and 1t will
thus be seen tnat the local concern
is practically building the Western
Pacific. There are forty-four tunnels
on the new road, the longest being
more than 1000 feet Oil burning
engines will be used on the road.
Mr.. Watts confirms the view of
Vice President Clark of the San Pc
dro that, when completed, the West
ern Pacific will be the best ballasted
line, and at the best grade of any
of the transcontinental lines. The
grade is less than l per cent at max
imum, while the others have each a
maximum of more than per cent

SALT LAKE CAPITAL
ENTERS BATTLE MOUNTAIN
Utah Money Will Aid i'm Develop
ment of New Nevada
District

With the proven richness of the
Glasgow & Western and several other
mines and the opening of some SEN
sational prospects such as the Cop
per Acres, owned by James L. Ham,
mond and associates of this city, the
Battle Mountain country in Nevada
is just now attracting more atten-
ton from mining men than any other
according to the Intermountain Re-
publican of Salt Lake.
One of the most promising pros
poets of that region appears to be the
Black Jack group, which has been
taken over under bond and lease by
the Ireland syndicate of this city.
This property is seven miles from the
Glasgow e Western. 1t has been
worked in a fitful way by leasers the
last year or so and as many as five
carloads of high grade ore have been
shipped from surface workings. Some
of the ore shipped ran as high as go
per cent copper.
Running through the property is a
strong vein which is exposed for a
length of 1000 feet. Two shafts,
each about sixty feet deep, have been
sunk on the vein and one of these
mas sulphides in the bottom. The
pay rock is from three to five feet
wide and what has been taken to
be the wall rock is found to be good
looking quartz which returns high
values in gold. 1t is believed by ex-
perts who have examined it that in
reality neither wall of the vein has
yet been found.
T. W. Ireland and ]. B. Ireland
were employed early last spring by a
syndicate of Salt Lake men to go
into the northern Nevada field in
search of mining prospect They
visited about every known mining
camp north of the Southern Pacific
railroad and west of the middle of
the state and explored much virgin
territory. The Battle Mountain dis
trict looked best of all to them and
the Black Jack group was the only
proposition they found in their six
months search, which they felt like
recommending unreservedly to the
syndicate. At their request two other
engineers will be sent out in a. few
days to make checking up examina-
ton of the property, and to aid in
outlining campaign of development

ty can be made to pay almost from

Charles R. Reeves, who represents
Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah
on the committee of publicity, ap-
pointed at the last National Irriga-
ton congress, was in Reno Friday,
on his way to Carson. Mr.. Reeves is
White Pine man. ELY will be a
city of from $4,000 to $4,000 inhabi-
tants within the next two years, -
said Mr.. Reeves. We will have en-
ployment for 10000 men in less than
that, the smelters under construction
being planned to handle that many
tons of ore daily. Some of the men
will live in nearby towns, but there
will be 10000 people within radius
of ten miles of Ely when the smeters
are all running Gazette.

pRlsoN FOR A scoRcHER.

The son OF a New York millionaire
was sent 70 prison for twenty days by
a magistrate last week because he ran
speed than the limit the law allowed.
II was his third offense. On the other
occasion he was merely fined. 1t is en-
tirely probable, when he gets out of
jau, he will have wholesome respect
for the speed regulations. 1t is al: o
probable that the punishment imposed
upon him will act as a healthy deter
rent to other automobile scorchers.
Under the circumstances the penalty
was not unreasonable. The youas man

those who do. The imposition of a fine
is not a penalty at all to a rich man
He has only to open his purse, pay the

In the hands of a competent chauf-
feur an automobile going at the rate of

gerous to pedestrians and others than
a horse being driven at the rate of ten

five miles an hour. A horse at ten
miles an hour could hardly be stopped

At the same time the speed regula-

SWEARs HE'LL MEIER CONSENT.

A Chicago paper yesterday published
a dispatch from Washington in which II
was stated upon the highest authori.
ty." undoubtedly meaning the authori-
ty of the president himself that Mr.
Roosevelt would shortly issue another
declaration of his determination not Il
become again a candidate for the presi-
dency. This is TO be the result OF the
numerous declarations that have beer
made in favor OF Roosevelt recently by
federal office-holders. Let 1t not be un-
derstood, though. that the president IS
not going TO take a hand, and a power
ful hand. in the Republican national
convention
The impression prevails quite general
ly that Mr.. Roosevelt is behind the
Taft candidacy. Statements to this eff
feet have been repeatedly made, and
they have never been denied by any
one in authority. Mr. Roosevelt has a
notion that Taft will make the most
popular candidate the Republicans can
name, but If Senator Foraker succeeds
in his avowed determination to prevent
an endorsement of Taft by the Ohio
convention there will fall a biighting
frost on the Taft ambition.
This would not distress the president
I'm the least If he could be sure tho Dc
feat of Taft would mean the nomination
OF Root. Mr.. Roosevelt ar heart is for
Root. If he is sincere in the sxtraor-
binary kind things he has said about
his secretary of state. In various
speeches the president has pronounced
Root the ablest man OF his acquaint-
ance, with possibly a mental reserva-
ton in favor Of himself Nor does any,
body question Mr. Roots ability,
though not many would go as far AS
the president has gone in praising him
But before Mr. Root became secretary
of state he was corporation lawyer,
the personal attorney of Thomas +.
Ryan of New York and of other we'll
known corporation men. To the score
tary's credit it must be said that he
gave up an income running into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
from his law practice In order to serve
his country at a salary of $4,000 a year.
1t was only $1,000 when he nrst went
in. Root is out Of the running, though.
because of his former corporation con-
nections. His nomination would be lit
tie short OF miraculous. and his election
would even more nearly approach that
description
Fairbanks win make a fight. bur he
will lose for the very reasons that put
Mr.. Root out. Colonel Henry Waiter
son figures that the only real Repub-
Ncan possibility is Hughes OF New York.
He thinks Hughes is about the one man
the Republicans would have chance
to elect. and 1t is not improbable that
the Republicans viii come around to HIS
way OF thinking.
