FROM MOnuHA y lphIlN
RHYoLITE, New, May 1S.--The DO
rax" Smith extension of the Santa Zee,
which is building north from the
Greenwater district with Rhyolite as
an objective point. not only will make
the potential millions of "BoraN"
Smith reality, hut will open up an
entirely new country-one that has
been practically II sealed book by rea-
son of the inacccssibility of the south
ern end of Death valley
Chief Engineer Ryan of the BoraN
Smith railroad. who is now In Rhyolite
looking over the ground for the termi =
nails of the road and who has been with
smith in his enterprises for the past 10
years discussed the opening of the new
country and "BoraX Smiths ideals
frankly, together with the results that
the building of this road will have up
on the southern country.
Said Engineer Ryan: Il have been
with Smith since he first conceived the
proposition of the borax company
know the truth of the story that the
only re.4son that Smith now controls
the Lila G. mine and other great de-
posts was because he won out in a
race for the claim by travelling night
as well as day, while his rivals camped
along the road. The story is II true
one.
when the great wagons with their
2O-mule teams first began to haul out
the boraX it took thirty-five days to
make the round trip from the mines to
the railroad and Smith constantly fret
ted over the delays.
TT was as far back as the first ship
ment of boraX that this road was plan
ned, and at that time we never con-
ceived the idea of gold mines.
The discovery of gold in the Bull
frog district brought the question of
the road to head and Rhyolite was
picked out as an objective point.
"The road now is nearing completion.
Within 30 days the last tie and rail
will be laid and trains will be run
ming directly from San Francisco and
Los Angeles.
THAT there will be plenty of ore and
borax to haul goes without saying. Our
engineers, who have been through the
country thoroughly, report more than
500 200, 900 worth of ore blocked out in
the Bullfrog district alone.
TT was the immensely of these boz
rax deposits that made 1t possible for
him to make the cuts and fills in the
Greenwater country that he did in
some places at the cost of more than
$4,000 mile for grading alone.
"Rhyolite will be the distributing
point for the line, for it is there that
the junction with the other roads in
the state will be made and from there
most of the distributing orders to Los
Angeles, Salt Lake and the east VIII
come"

A carload of copper ore taken from
the grass roots to depth of forty feet
IN the Sunshine shaft of the Ely Con
solidated Copper company's holdings.
was shipped to the Salt Lake smelters
yesterday. This ear averages 40 per
cent copper. and is the richest ear of
copper ore eyer shipped out of the
camp.
The ore was hauled to the car in
wagons, through the principal streets
of the town yesterday by Eugene At
kins, and attracted great attention The
fact that 10 per cent copper was taken
from the surface in shipping quanti-
tites, excited universal comment in the
town. and expressions were freely
made that the camp is bound to become
high grade copper producer.
The fact that the percentages in cop
per values are steadily rising in all of
the mines where depth is attained in
their workings, has encouraged the
owners and everyone connected with
the mines and with the camp, to the
belief that the low grade copper is but
the surface crust and that deeper down
higher grades will be found
The discovery of such rich ore at
the surface in commercial quantities.
strengthens this belief, and the own
ers of this property and others are be-
ginning to have more roseate dreams
of the future of the camp as a high
percentage copper camp.
A sample of the ore taken from the
first wagon-load hauled to the cars is
at the News office, and can be seen by
anyone who is interested.

TOil Hhonud5 > Odlly.
In connection with the article that
appeared in the News a few days ago
To the effect that the Postal Telegraph
company is expecting to build a trunk
line from Salt Lake City to the Pacific
coast via Ely. story was printed in
a salt lake paper Saturday telling
whaA c. c. Adams. vice president of the
Postal. lad to say about it.
Mr.. Adams is in the western coun-
try for the purpose of inspecting the
interests of the Postal company in gem
eral, but more especially for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the best and most
convenient means of reaching san
Francisco with a line of copper wires
by way of Salt Lake and the Nevada
route.
what l have done" said Mr.. Adams
last evening. at the Alta club, lis
merely preliminary to the real work
of extending our lines westward. We
want to get into San Francisco with
another route; our present facilities
are satisfactory as far as they go, but
they are inadequate to handle the
business that is pressed on MS every
day. We have constant calls for leased
wires that we cannot give.
III we go to san Francisco from your
city--and that is practically II settled
fact-we will go through Nevada and
the new mining camps and mining
towns and mining cities that are
springing up or are, in existence al
ready. We do not intend to follow the
railroads--we will build overland, and l
believe that we will save time and
money by doing so. especially in the
districts to which / refer.
II am now on my way to New York.
where. will lay before the company's
high officials the plans that have been
brought to my attention. | have little
doubt that they will carry We viii
erect line carrying at least -four first
class wires-that is, copper wres-if
our plans go through.
THE Mackay company is extending
it's service every day. Next Septem-
Der we will have Il new cable direct
from New York to Havana deep sea
cable That will obviate all the diff
cultieS that we experience with our
land lines, especially in Florida. The
condition throughout the country re-
speeding the telegraph business are eX-
ceptionally good-indeed they never
have been better. The Postal enjoys a
full measure of the prosperity that APP
pears to exist in all parts IF Mr..
Mackay were alive today. l have no
doubt that he would marvel at the
changed conditions with reference to
the time when he was on the comstock
and this day"

CHICAGO. May 21.-Mayor Busse, in
an attempt to "rcnoyate" the tenderloin
district of Chicago, today made the
most sweeping change ever made in
the local police department. He trans
ferred the entire police force of the
district from captain down, embracing
240 men, to other parts of the city and
appointed other men. 1t has been
charged that the police in the district
had countenanced violations of the law
in the district.
The move was hailed by acclaim by
reformers. but the mayor nonplussed
other rcformers by n flat-footed state
ment that, considering Chicago's for
eign population, he would not attempt
to enforce the Sunday saloon closing
law unless forced to do so by the
courts.
