kentucky Railroads.

The annual report of the t-ens
lucky Railroad Commission to the
Governor contains much matter of
public interest. The number of
miles of railroad in operation in
the State June 30. 1906. was 3, 446,
an increase of seventy-two miles.
There were many new extensions
under way in the coal fields of
Eastern and Western Kentucky.
The total valuation of railroads in
the State for 1906 is given al $685.
800, $50, an increase of S2.152. 941.
The number of passengers and
others than employees killed Vas
seventy-two and the injured ll3,
while of employees ffty-one were
killed and 1895 injured. showing
"A large percentage of decrease as
compared with 1905.
While it is recognized that more
cars are needed for the acc6mmo-
dalton of the increased traffic of
the country, it is made very clear
that this alone would not aiforc the
necessary relief. Two other fac
tors have an important bearing
upon the subject. The first relates
to the unnecessary delay in unload
ing freight cars and their return to
the respective companies for the
use of other shippers, and the other
to the necessity of more tracllaae
and better terminal facilities.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 25.-The man.
agement of the Alaska Yukon-Pa ex-
position, which will be held at Seattle In
1909, proposes TO reproduce at the exposi-
ton several of the famous mines of the
north that made dozens of millionaires
during 1895 and 1900 But the richest
mine that the north has will not, be re-
produced, for the simple reason that no
white man has ever seen II and lived to
tell the tale. In the early days of the
camp certain tribe of Indians from the
north arrived In Dawson for the first
time. To the astoulshment of the few
that first saw the tribe every member
had several ornaments carved from great
nuggets of virgin gold. This tribe had
never met the white men before, and TO
the breathless inquiries the trbesmen
told how where they lived was a stream
in which the yellow metal could be
picked up in chunks as big as ones fist.
Near by, they said. there was n cliff I'm
which the metal stood out like moss on
a mountain side. The Indians soon
learned the value of their ornaments and
shrewdly refused TO tell where they got
IT, Nevertheless several prospectors tried
to follow the tribe on the return to the
village, but the willy red men
easily succeeded in losing the agile pale
face. Since then there have been several
more or less secret and always unsuc-
cesSful expeditions to find the lost gold

Comstocx mine has thousands OF tons of

been opened up on three levels and the
large shoot on the hanging wall-over six
feet widc-has been drifted on over 200
feet. Except for the ore extracted In
running the drifts and what little stopping
has been done In The last week or ten
days. the great quantity of backs still
remain. The ore extends from the lower
level to the peak OF the dixie, or 70 feet
high. In other words, the vein Will be
stopped on from the lower drifts to sur
face. One of the star attractions of the
district Is the remarkably rich ore on top
of that dixie.
The Walkover mine is fast getting in
shape to add it's pro rata TO the monthly
production of high grade. Already the
dump contains considerable pile of
sacked ore ready to be forwarded and the
company is perfeoting arrangements to
get the mine in position for much in
creased production.
Another property to set under action Is
the Cottontail group. This ground is on
the south side lines of the Ramsey Com
stock and Ophir properties A parallel
ledge of fourteen feet wide Is being de-

rich quartz is being uncovered.
The Ramsey-opnir shaft, which is being
sunk on the ledge within 800 feet of the
Ramsey ore body, is down con-

had intended lowering the shaft several

the plans, however, as the workings have
run into ore that is rich enough 10 warrant
