Reports received at the local Office
of the Las Vegas & Tonopah railway
yesterday stated that rails have been
laid to within IS miles of Goldfield
The graders have finlsed their work
in the hills east and are now busy
within the city limits. Track laying
is proceeding at the rate of about
mile day, force of $50 men being
employed on this branch of construc-
ton.
Unless some unforeseen obstacle
should develop, the railroad will be
operating out of Goldfield by the first
of October. Through cars including
standard sleepers, diners, chair cars,
etc, will be run to Los Angeles, cut
ting down the present time from this
city and also the time to the east from

Government to Bring
Proceedings Against S.P,

The question is a serious one to
the State of Nevada" said Mr.. Mus
grove. The lands taken up by the
Central Pacific comprise a strip run
ming through the state at both sides
of the railroad 200 miles long and
twenty miles wide. In this are some
of the most valuable mineral lands OF
the state. 1t was not intended that
the railway should take up any min
eral lands, but a large proportion OF
what they did take and on which they
have secured patents is sad To be OF
the best mineral wealth OF Nevada.
That it is worth millions there is no
doubt. 1t touches upon the Seven
Trouchs district Anaconda is within
it. as are Ramsey and White Horse
districts.
The government Will at once take
steps to annul the patents obtained o.,
the Central Pacific on the ground Oi
fraud. and should these steps be sue
cessful, and they will be prosecuted
vigorously, it will mean much to The
State of Nevada, and to many opera
tors in Salt Lake"

Railroad Commission
Gets Into Action

Discrimination against the shippers
of Reno is the cause of a special at
tack by the Railroad commission upon
the Southern Pacific and Tonopah G
Goldfield Railroad freight rates. At
meeting Of the commission, held
yesterday, the subject of these dis
crimations was discussed, and drastic
action was determined upon.
The two corporations guilty of ex-
cessive charges will be notified to cut
their trafics, and if they do not COM
ply the commission will take the case
to the courts. According to statis-
tics compiled by the commission the
rates from San Francisco and Reno
to Tonopah and Goldfeld, Blair and
Beatty were given, the coast terminal
being favored in each case against
Reno. For instance:
Reno is PA miles nearer Tonopah.
Goldfield, Blair and Beatty than is
San Francisco, yet the tariff on ce-
ment from San Francisco to Blair is
Sc cents per 100 pounds. while from
Reno to Blair the rate is 81 p cents.
Cement is carried from San Francisco
to Goldfield for Sc cents per 100

pounds while from Reno to Goldfield
the charge is 62k cents.
Ice takes the rate of 80 cents per
100 pounds from Truckee to GOldfield,
while 35 cents is charged from Reno
to Goldfield Flour from San Fran
cisco to Goldfield and Beatty is carried
for IS cents per 100 pounds. Flour
from Reno to Goldfield is transported
for $1.4O and to Beatty, S1.9SA. Reno
is half way between San Francisco
and Beatty via the T. & G.. railroad.
The greatest discrepancy in the
charges from San Francisco and Reno
is that on beer. For every 100 ponuds
Of beer shipped from San Francisco
$1.55 is collected by the railroads.
The rate from Reno, one-half the dis.
tance is $19Sk.
Brick can be sent from San Fran
cisco to Beatty for 40 cents per 100
pounds. Brick sent from Reno to
Beatty cost the shipper As cents.
Lime from San Francisco to Beatty is
charged 80 cents per 100 pounds,
shipments out of Reno to the same
place cost 90 cents.

Hartman a Heavy
00Ser i'm Wall Street

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Ed. H. Har-
riman is supposed to have lost mil
lions of late in the stock market
slump 1t would seem that his as
tuteness as judge OF the value of
securities has deserted him. The
estimate of Harriman's recent losses
is placed as high as thirty-two mil
lions.
Hartman expended between June
80, 1906, and March 1, 1907, $12S,6i1, :
01S of the money of the stockholders
Of the Union Pacific Railroad CO. for
huge blocks of stocks.

Despite the downward tendency OF
the market and the wobbly and pan

nationals financial barometer, E. H
Hartman, has never appeared more
optimistic in his life than in the last
few days.
He has announced in public inter
views that he intends 10 spend mi:
lions on modern improvements OF his
great railroad system.
He is projecting a number OF gi

Gantic undertakings and intends to
carry them out if the government
lets him alone.
He denied as rank fake the re-
ported interview where he was report
ed as having said that he would own
all the railroads if he could get his
hands upon them.
If Hartman lost thirty odd million
dollars in the recent slump he
wouldn't breath it to anybody not
even to his immediate friends.
He is known as the man of mys-
terry in Wall street, although Thos
Fortune Ryan has heretofore held
that unique title.
The tone of the market was weak
Yesterday and the market continues
sensitive after successive waves OF
liquidation which have swept away
fortunes and profits. There is gloon

become so damp that not one OF them

struck them quite easily on the leg OF
his trousers, for by this time the
matches had become perfectly dry

We1l have a big romp till broad

Have a big time and just raise Ned,
And sleep together, three in bed.

lovely, and the public knew nothing

prominent socially, by some mistake
secured one of the invitations, and
as there was no name, just the num-

some OF his friends in a new and

was considerably after half-past eiGh
when he came by the Willow patti
