Electric power in mountain railroad

transcontinental lines. 1t is believed
that George J. Gould's purpose in or

was to get locations for power plants
to be used in the operation of the
Western Pacific railroad. The Western
Power company now has agents all
along the Western Pacific, buying up
water rights and good locations for
power plants. When these agents
first commenced their activities

HIGH GRADE
FROM PINENUT
Ben Martin PropertyPro.
duceS Some Sensation
ally Rich Ore

Antoine Mallett came in from Pine
over find made on the mining pro-
perty formerly owned by the late Ben
Martin and which is now being opera
ted by Mallett as the administrator
of the estate.
Development on the rich streak
which Martin worked for years is now
showing up some sensational gold
values. An assortment of the ore was
brought to this city by Mr. Mallett
and an assay made in this city showed
values to the amount of $765.60 most
ly gold.
The property is situated in the
Pinenut mining district about twenty
been a producer for many years.
During the life of the late Ben Martin
he took thousands of dollars in gold
from this rich streak and about twice
a year made trip to the mint in
this city where he deposited the bull
lion. He would then secure enough
supplies to last another six months
and go back to his claims.
On the clam that is now being
worked by Mr.. Mallett, Martin sunk a
shaft and in doing so consumed the
greater part of six years. Whenever
his funds would get low he would get
enough gold to insure him supplies
for the next half year. Martin lived
in this manner for many years and
was on his way to this city for sup
plies when he died.
The miners are now endeavoring
to trace the rich streak by a trench
and at the present time it is headed
for an immense mineral cropping a
short distance away. What will bo
found when they encounter the crop.
ping is hard to tell but it will soon
be known as the crew are digging
away with this point in view.
Mallett stated last night that if
the values continue he expects to be
able to shovel out the yellow metal
