RAILWAY OFFICIALS
VISIT TONOPAH
REPRESENTATIVES, OF -FOUR
ROADS SIZE UP THE
SITUATION.


Tonopah is becoming quite a fav
orite spot for the. c~entering of rail
road men, and a week hardly pass
es now but what we have several
representatives of Hartman, Ripley
Clark or Smith. and ere long we will
be entertaining the house of Gould
There were no less than four oil
these brisk, wide awake railroad men
in here Tuesday. and they are all
here meeting the people, sizing up
The situation and looking for business
eor their respective roads, and all
quite certain that they are going to
get it. The gentlemen referred to
are A. B. Moseiey, travelling passen-
ger agent for the Oregon Short Line,
located at Ogden; Il. M. Grace, su-
perintendent OF the Las Vegas and
Tonopah Railroad Company; A. H.
Petit, travelling freight and passenger
agent Of the Southern Pacific, out OF
Reno, and Percy ID. Pratt, travelling
freight and passenger agent of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail-
way Company, with headquarters in
San Francisco.
This is the first trip here OF Mr..
Grace Of the Clark road, and he ex-
presses himself as being surprised
and more than pleased with the con-
ditions Of this place and Goldfield.
There is pleHty of business for
the Smith road and for our road in
southern Nevada" said he, ''and |
was never more satisfied of this than
/ have been since making a trip into
the country. We have established a
general agency for our line in Gold
field. and have been in there for two
months, G.. Il. Knight being our rep
resentative. The Las Vegas and
Tonopah road will be into Goldield
about the 10th of next month. There
is plenty of business here for every
body, for this country is going ahead
all the time, and the new mining
districts which are s%pringing up are
all tributary to the great camps. /
am surprised to e two such modern
looking cities as Tonopah and Gold
field. The improvements, the big
buildings, and institutions that have
been established, show the confidence
that the people have in their own
towns, and this invites confidence
from the outside"
Il notice improvements every time
| come here said Mr.. Moseley, "and
| want to say that Salt Lake is look
ing in this direction with business in
her eye. There are a lot Of Utah
people who have interests through
out the country. and the merchants
are now trying to get their share OF
the trade. They have their repre-
s%entatives in here all the time, and
they are doing pretty well already in
the way of business. Southern Ne
vada is a great country, and it is des-
tined to be a still greater one"

ON FIJI JACK POT.

The visit during the week OF Mar
vim Ish to the Jack Pot property, in
which he and his associates hold a
controlling interest, has resulted in
plans for even faster development
than that which has been carried on
under the direction of General Man
ager Harris. Ten more men are to
be put on the work next week, which
addition will swell the total number
to forty. The work at present Is be-
ing concentrated on the crosscut on
the 300-foot level in the shaft. This
crosscut is now in eighty feet and
has reached the vein, from which
much of the rock runs $500 to the
ton and better. The intention is to
contine the work largely to the 300
foot level for the next six weeks.

In most cases those who have
charge of the racing game have been
sk1llful enough to secure for them
selves virtual monopoly. Through
understandings with legislatures they
secure enactment of laws that make
poolselling illegal, at the same time
taking care to have loopholes provid.
ed which prevent the enforcement of
laws designed to prevent betting at

RACING is NOW GREATEST
OF OUR GAMBL INC EVILS.
Americans Bet Huge Sum of Three Hundred Millions
Yearly on Horse Races

At time when gambling in every
other form is being bitterly assailed,
when railroad manipulation of the
kind practiced by 3. H. Hartman is
being the subject of national legisla-
ton, when Wall street is under bitter
fire, and the powers are trying to find
way to deal with Monte Carlo, gam
bling on horse racing has reached this
year it's highest figures. in the history
of the game in the United States.
Never have sums so great been wa
gered on the tracks of New York,
Washington, New Orleans, Los Ang-
eles and other places where law per-
mits the public to be separated from
it's dollars on the chance of which
horse shall finish first.
The figures were astounding. More
money, three times as much in fact, is
bet on racing every year in this coun-
try as constitutes Uncle Sans one
hundred million-dollar gold reserve.
Three hundred million dollars every
year. 1t is six times as much as con-
gress felt necessary to vote to Presi-
dent Mckinley to carry the Spanish
war to a Successful conclusion. Of
this huge sum $50,00O,OO0 in round
numbers makes up the profit of the
bookmakers, those who handle betting
at the tracks and the booksellers who
maintain rooms where the dear pub
lie can lose it's cash without the time,
trouble and expense of going to the
track where the races are being run.
In many states of the Union betting
on the races has been prohibited,
with the result that once prosperous
tracks are being overgrown with
weeds. This Is notably the case in
places like New Jersey, where the act
Of legislature ended the career of
the noted Gloucester track, and in
Missouri, where Gov. Folk put an end
to the gambling carnival.
But the fact that horses cannot race
in a state by no means stops gam
bling. The telephone and telegraph
are ever at the call Of the profession
al gambler, and that public which is
always ready to be his victim:
1t is safe to say without a trace of
exaggeration that money was wagered
on tho outcome of the suburban,
Brooklyn and Metropolitan handicaps
in every state of the United States,
and that after New York State, ILL
nois, a thousand miles away, wagered
more money than any of it's sister
commemorative, In who should win
these big events.
Despite the often expressed admira-
ton of the public for the noblest of
animals, the horse, racing could not
exist without gambling Your good
sportsman will pay his money to go to
baseball or football game, without
any thought of putting down a wager,
and will enjoy the sport for sports
sake. But a horse race without bet
is like playing poker for fun, with no
value attached to the chips.
Something about the horse seems to
stir in acknowledgements too, for
that matter-the desire to make a
wager, and the habit once acquired is
stronger than rum appetite, for it is
never thoroughly eradicated.
The public hears mainly of the big
bettors, the men like James R. Keene,

Then when visitors had sufficiently
admired here, Kann took them into
another room where the Flemish

representation in superb works by
Rubens and Van Dyck, including four
paintings by the former. Rubens'
paintings of Meleager, bringing the
boar's head to Atlanta, is the original,
the better known one of the Cassel

A petition was recently filled in a
Tennessee court by a man named
Damn praying that he be allowed to
change his name to that Of Hamm.
The petitioner, who is a native of Den

court that his name had caused him
considerable annoyance on more than
a thousand occasions. His feelings
had been particularly hurt since the
souvenir postcard bearing portraits Of
THE Whole Damn Family had been
placed on the market. The court grant

BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE.

Apparatus for ResuscitatIng Persons
Apparently Dead.
An apparatus for producing artificial
respiration has recently been devised
whereby in cases of suspended anima-
ton the action of the heart and lungs
can be renewed.
Prof. George Poe, the inventor Of
the apparatus, does not insist that
with it's use life can be brought back,
but claims, according to the Scientific
American, that by artificial means ap-
piled through the instrumentality Of
the respirator persons killed by as
rhyxiation, poison or drowning can be
resuscitated; that the death of per
sons under the influence Of anaesthet.
les while being operated upon can be
prevented; that it's use will prevent
infant asphyxia at birth; that a drunk
en-. person can be sobered in few
minutes; that persons electrocuted or
hanged-in the latter case where the
neck has not been broken-can be re-
vived, and that the freezing to death
of Arctic explorers can be obviated.
These results are accomplished by
stimulating normal respiration
through artificial means.
A demonstration was made on a
rabbit. Two grains of morphine were
injected into the leg, after which four
ounces of ether were administered. It
was believed by the experimenters
that life was positively extinct, as the
application of every known test failed
to reveal any sign of life. In this con-
d!tion the tubes of the apparatus were
applied to the rabbits nostrils, and on
pumping out the poison with one cyl
inder pumping oxygen into the lungs
with a simultaneous movement of the
valves, within three minutes the rab-
bit, but lately pronounced dead, was
breathing naturally, and within six
minutes it was running about the
room: The ether was entirely out OF
the system. as there was no indication
of nausea.
