REPORTS OF TWO RAILWAYS
Virginia & Truckee Clears $9S,
960.30 While the f.. & p.
Profits But $1935.O0

The following article is taken from
the Carson News. As will be seen but
two railroad companies thus far have
filed reports with the Nevada Railroad
Commissioners in compliance with the
new law passed by the last Nevada
Lsgis'ature-the Virginia & Truckee
and the Eureka s. Palisade. The first
named company. according to the re-
port. came out nearly 500, 900 ahead
for its years work, but the latter re-
ports a net income for the same period
Of less than $4,000.
Statistics are usually conceded to be
very dry reading, but we believe those
contained in the article below will be
persued with interest, especially the fig
ures in the report of the Eureka & Pali-
SADIE:
Two railroads have filed reports with
the Nevada Railroad Commissioners in
compliance with the law. one of the
roads being the Virginia & Truckee and
the second. the Eureka and Palisade.
The V. & I. makes a good showing in
spite OF the heavy drain OF last year on
account of much.road way being washed
out and badly damaged by the high
waters. The Eureka Palisade returns
show small profits and that the road
justly earns the title of the poorest
road in the country"
According to the report the gross
earnings for handling freight ON the V.
& T.. from June 30. 1906 to June 30,
1907, were STA, 1866. SO. for mail. passen-
ger and express service it amounted to
$118,610 OF making a total income Of
1895, 516.3 3 for the road during the year.
The operating expenses amounted to
1882. 1858. SO, leaving a net from the
freight and passenger service of $113,.
1875. The taxes for the road last year
amounted to sl4, 1877. 80. and this deduct.
ed would leave sos, $50. 90.
The Eureka & Palisade report does
not look so well; in fact the report shows
the road sort of doing business for the
glory of the cause. The principal at
traction about the report is the state
ment that last year the road paid the
munificent sun of 50. so on account of
Injuries to passengers on the road. The
report shows hat the gross earnings
we're $112, 700. 81 and the total operating
expenses $l03, 415.41, leaving a net in
come of 81 ,2S5 % the lakes amounted to
81, zoe. SO, and last year the company
bought an engine costing $3l43. 10, so
that the net income after the deduction
of taxes and new equipment amounted
to $1935. 80. The road is "a miles long
and extends from Eureka to Palisade.
The principal business of the line is
hauling ore from Eureka and the rate
is 81 the ton; under the maximum rates
of the Syphus bill the rate would be
only 50 SO the ton, and if no error has
been made in the report of the railroad
company, the enforcing of such rates
would mean the taking away of all in
come and a deficit. Last year the road
hauled something over 10000 tons Of
ore, and a reduction of 81 the ton ON the
freight would mean that much in the
freight earnings. which would mean a
deficit of about $4,000 instead of a
profit of about $4,000.

SOME SOUND ADVICE
Before Going Into New Fields
Thoroughly Prospect Your
Home District

An article is going the rounds of the
newspapers in the mining camps az
Nevada sort Of "every man his own
prospector" compilation-ihat contains
at least one thought that is worth re.
~membering. Here it Is:
The first thing that confronts a man
VINO THINKS Of prospecting is where
shall goF To this question the IN
swer should always be, Don't 90 at all
Stay where you are. This answer
takes 1t for granted. of course. that the
man who thinks Of prospecting is in a
mineral bearing section. Ii so. he
stands at least as good a chance for re.
turns for his efforts at his own home a.
he will have elsewhere"
Applied to Eureka Mining District
his is e%minently good advice. For an
area Of II miles square there is no
better field for practical p~rospectors
than in this section. While this dis.
trict has always been recognized as a
silver-lead proposition, the SENTINEL
has been reliably informed that as a
matter of fact the ores will average at
least 30 per cent goli. But as a gen.
eral thing prospectors are lnred away to
distant fields that look green, though
the object lesson is presented TO them
each day that in almost every cid min.
ing camp in Nevada new and rich
strikes are constantly being made.
