The object of a new road between Troy

ties for transporting freight from the

prevent some of the congestion that has
annoyed business and manufacturing

NEW LABOR TROUBLE
IN NEVADA CAMPS
UNIONIZING POWER PLANT EN-
PUOYEES HAS BEARING ON
SITUATION.

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept. 12.-
General Manager c. w. Hobbs of the
Nevada California Power company
has been in conference. with repre-
sentatives of the Western Federation
of Miners and has explained to them
that his company cannot grant the
demands of the employees for higher
pay as funds for extensive work were
raised after careful computation
based upon the present wage scale.
These demands for higher wages are
a result of the organization of the
employees of the Power company at
their power plant at Bishop Cal, by
the Western Federation of Miners
| Only fifty men out of a force of 200
are now at work on the construction
of a duplicate power plant line and
an additional reservoir.
So far as Goldfield service is con-
cerned, the suspension of these ad-
ditional improvements will have no
effect, as for present needs the power
is now sufficients but duplicate line
would prevent any shutdown in the
mines in case of breakdowns; hence
the desire of the company to have
this extra line in working order be-
fore the winter sets in.
Residents of Bishop are taking
great interest in the matter, as well
as all the big ranchers of Inyo coun-
ty, claiming that the power compa-
ny's improvements have taken all
available ranch help away from them.
and that further raise in wages will
set SO high scale as to double all
the old rates of labor and ruin their
business.

STRUCK BIG VEIN
IN RATHER SHAFT
UPPER PORTION OF ROBINSON
DISTRICT SHOWING GREAT
ACTIVITY.

George W Kesler, superintendent
of the Federal Ely company's prop
critics at Ely, is in from camp for the
first time since last December to en-
JOY we'll earned vacation and rest
for short time, says the Salt Lake
Herald. He reports that the differ
ent workings in the property all look
promising, but that particular emf
phass can be placed on the showing
that is now being made in the Rat
tier shaft, that is being sunk under
contract and which, at Il depth of 10
feet, has gone into over 20 feet of
copper carbonate ore of a nice grade.
Samples from the bottom of the shaft
that were to be seen at the company's
offices yesterday show free gold in
liberal quantities scattered through
the oXidized iron which makes with
the copper. Manager w. J. Craig.
however, was ayerse to having any
mention made of the showing and he
declined, absolutely. to discuss val
ues, claiming that ii would be time
enough to talk about the matter
when development had more fully
demonstrated what the present show
ing would develop into.
Mr.. Kesler states that the Nevada
Consolidated is showing tremendous
activity at the present time. From
20 to so carloads of materials. and
supplies have been going up to the
Eureka and Star Pointer shafts ever
since the railroad was completed to
the latter, several days ago. He says
the magnificent steel head frame for
the Star Pointer shaft is now in place
and an imposing appearance it
makes. 1t stands 40 feet high
above the massive concrete founda-
tions. and when things are in full
swing there, it will be the running
tower through which cables will be
lifting at least 5000 tons of ore
daily to the surface. A fine town is
being built around the Star Pointer
shaft and it is in the construction of
this that much of the material now
being delivered by the railroad will
enter.
In addition to this strings of teams
are constantly hauling to the Veteran
Ely and the GirouX, so the upper por-
ton of the district is now full of ac-
tivity and life.
