Thirty-five Days From Atchison to
California and Fare $500.
DAYS OF STAGE COACH
Some Of the Dansers and Hsrdships In
TrayeHng on the Plains.

IhlS was the heading OF an old |
handful, yellow with age, which |
a traveller laid upon the counter
in a railway ticket office the other
day. 1t was an advertisement,
notes the Kansas City Star, of a
line Of stage coaches that ran
from Atchisqn, Kansas, to San
Francisco during the gold excite
ment Of years ago.
People seldom stop to think
what their poor ancestors had to
put up with 50 years ago." the
man said. He was comparing
the old time table with a modern
railway time table, WHICH told of
the Injuries one could have by
travelling on that road. No dust,
no jarring and all the other dis
agreeable features eliminated.
The old time table was a double
sheet of paper, torn and yellow
with age. 1t was issued by the
Atchison and California stage
coach line in 1857. The induce
ments it held forth were in
strange contrast with those of
the modern railroad advertise
ment. The stage coach line ad-
vertised that it had recently re-
furnished the entire road" with
absolutely new wagonettes, and
it told what kind of coaches they
were, how the springs were made
and of what strength they were.
1t even said that the coaches
were painted in the "best man.
ner possible. f." The horses that
drew the coaches were described,
too, as the best,
An inducement that was held
out on the time table to prospec-
tive passengers was a stop-over
privilege.
Passengers who had paid
their entire fare from Atchison
or other points to their destina-
tion," the paper said, may
register with our agents. A
stop-over privilege is then given
for any place on the road"
The time of the stop-over was
unlimited. The time table pro-
vided that a passenger might re-
sumo the journey whenever there
was an empty seat in the stage
coach.
1--WE make quicker time to Cal
ifornia than any other stage
coach line and at a cheaper rate, "

to say that for 5000 a person
could ride all the way from Atchi.

How to Turn Nickles Into Dollars.

The following words, uttered by the
President of the Ohio Liquor League be-
fore the annual meeting of that organi.
z~ation, are brutally clear in their inten.
ton: "The success of our business is de-
pendent largely upon the creation of
appetite for drink. Men who drink
liquor, like others, will die, and If there
is no new appetite created, our Golfers
will be empty. The open field for the
creation Of this appetite is among the
boys. After men have grown and their
habits are formed in this regard, they
rarely ever change. It will be needful,
therefore, that missionary work be done
among the boys, and I make the sng-
g~estion. gentlemen, that nickles spent in
treats to the boys now will return in
dollars to your tills after the appetite has
formed. Above all things, create appe
tite."

CLARK ROAD is NEARING GOLD
FIELD.

BULLFROG, Feb. 9.-The road
bed of the Clark system to Goldfeld
from Bullfrog is being made as fast
as 200 men and $50 teams can make
it. There is a gang of men on Bo-
nanza mountain, near Rhyolite, while
other gangs are scattered all the way
north as far as Mile 20, which is
eight miles beyond Curry's Well.
Both of the Deal boys, ]. c. and
Roe, are now experimenting the
work of grading. They make Rhyo-
lite their headquarters. They are
not certain, of course, but they be-
lieve the road will be finished to
Goldfield about next October.
The Shoshone spur will be com
pleted in less than three weeks. This
spur will be one and one-quartel
miles in length, with a 4 per cent
grade and a 16 per cent curvature
1t is a very hard piece of road t.
grade, owing to the heavy rock.

BUILDING A REPUTATION.

Some build regulations over night
in a country like Tonopah, but it
is on account of the luck that over
takes them rather than on account
of business sagacity and aggressive
ness. With others it is their strict
business methods and ability that
give the power to make a fortune.
Among some of the few traits of
character that act as a lubricant and
trade winner is that n called "affa-
bility." In up to date p%arlance the
SYNONYM as applied to the latter word
is "glad-hand," A cognomen that
has attached itself to the worthy
name of the proprietor of the Bar
rel House. "Glad-hand' Harrison is
always there with the big mitt and
to he who smiles he offere Zig
gest glass of cold beer free

ACTIVITY AT
BELLEHELEN
TWO VALUABLE PIECES OF PROP
ERTY CHANGE HANDS DUR
ING THE PAST WEEK.

There has been considerable ac-
tivity in the Bellehelen district dur
ing the past month. This, although
comparatively a new district, being
opened about two years, has come
to the fore with wonderful strides.
Mining men who are credited with
knowing what is what state that the
Bellehelen district will be a second
Goldfield. The formation of the sur
face and the character Of the rock
is almost identical.
A number of rich finds have been
made and some of the claims that
are in the mineral belt have prices
put on them that are almost pro-
hibitive as an investment, except by
organized companies with plenty oil
capital.
Early last week a prospector by
the name of charles Krouse disposed
of an interest in three claims foi
the nice sum of $4,000. Adjoining
Krouse's claims is the Yocom prop
erty, namely, the st. Elmo, Beulaf
and Inez quartz mines.
Those that know state that thes'
last three locations are the keyston,
of the mineral belt. A two-thirds in
terest in these claims was sold thii
week to Mel. A. Bley and Frank C
Parker of San Francisco for $1,000
the price quoted being the amour
stated in the deed filed at the re
corder's Office at the city hall in thi
city.
Mr.. Bley when interviewed by
representative of the Bonanza state'
that this was but the first of a mum
Der of good prospects they have il
view.
They have an option on severe
others and when the time arrive
they will close the deals. Mr.. Bile
stated that Parker, Yocom and hin
self have formed a brokerage con
pany and will open offices at Colo
field in the near future to transaC
a general brokerage business and blu
and sell mining property. Thei
stronghold will be the organizing {
new companies for developing thei
own mines. They will handle a
their own stock and deal direct wit
the public.

A MERRY TIME AT THE BUTLER

Owing to the illness of Jim Dia-
mond and the absence of Mr.. Alphin.
who has gone to San Francisco to
secure additional talent, the manage
ment of the Butler Theater put on
an impromptu minstrel show last
evening, which was well received by
a large audience.
Miss Martin was a most capable
mistress of ceremonies and Dave Mar
tin and the only original dice-jug-
Cling, porkchop-eating Calhoun made
a very good end man. Each of the
company contributed sp~ecialties, all
receiving encores, Calhoun practically
bringing down the house. The NOV
ing pictures were up to their usually
high standard.

INTERSTATE DEVELOPMENT

j. E. Lucey, of the Interstate Min
ing Company, was in town on Mon
day and stated to the Press that the
shaft recently begun on the property
had attained a depth of twenty-five
feet, where, he is of the opinion,
they have caught the ledge, which at
that poin tdid not crop to the surface.
Some peculiar formation has been n
c%ountered in reaching that depth,
seven feet of a very hard, cement
like composition having made prog
ress somewhat difficult and very slow.
1t was a black sand, streaked at
regular intervals with a yellow seam,
which gave Mr.. Lucey a problem in
formation which he has not hereto
fore encountered. Mill samples taken
from the ledge higher up the hill
where it had been opened up for a
time have given returns of $24 in
gold, and the company are no rel
deavoring to trace the ledge into thu
fat. for which purpose the new shaft
was started, and prospecting will be
carried on from several levels in that.
1t Is a double compartment. four feet
il the clear, and will be put down
with a view to utilizing for perma-
nent working purposes. Shoul' the
development warrant it the company
will erect a mill for treatment il the
fat towards Blair.-Press.
