BRYAN
Tells Reporters How He
Earns a Living by
Hard Work
Declines to Discuss the
New York Political
Situation

New York, N. Y, April 20.-His
lecturing tour brought William j.
Bryan to this city today, and he had
also planned to meet Mrs. Bryan on
her arrival from Europe tomorrow.
At the Hartman house, where he is
staying, he was Joined during the
day by Miss Grace Bryan, who has
taken a holiday from her studies
at Virginia school, to welcome her
mother home. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
will leave for the west on Thursday.
After his arrival from Utica early
today, Bryan breakfasted with Col.
Henri Watterson, met many person
al friends, including some promi-
nent Democrats and chatted with the
newspaper men. Tonight he deliver
ed his lecture on "The Old WorlE
and It's Ways" at st. Simons Episco-
pal church.
With the interviewers today Mr..
Bryan persistently avoided discus
sion of the political situation in this
state, but of affairs in general Mr..
Bryan talked freely, and on one top
ic, purely personal, he cheerfully
made formal statement. This haC
to do with his income. An inter-
viewer has suggested that the Me-
braskan having been credited with
an earning capacity of from $4,000
to $4,000 a year, might be exposed
to the charge by opponents that he
was no longer representative of the
laboring class, but a full 1edged
plutocrat. To this the candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton replied:
My income is derived mainly from
my lecturing, with some addition
from articles written for other pub
LEGATIONS and something from my own
paper, but the amount has been very
much exaggerated. l make more
speeches for nothing than for pay
and devote more time to public work
than private gain. The income that
I have received has come from peo-
pie who attend my lectures and who
read what I write and therefore my
obligation is to the whole people
| rather than to any special class. The
best test of the effect of my income
is to be found in things that I ad-
vocate. My views have not changed
upon public questions / am con-
lSluluS 1ol IuC odhS IhAASS III"
that I did then and I think no one
will deny that could make more by
siding with the corporations that !
have opposed than l have made out
of lecturing.
"My political prominence has been
| an advantage in that it has given me
a larger reading circle and larger
audience but l could have used the
prominence in other ways to great
err advantage.
Among the questions which Mr.,
Bryan did not answer was this one,
| put by reporter:
do you expect to be nominated
for PRESIDENT"
"Well, this is refreshing" said Mr..
Bryan with smile. 81 presume you
have read Caesar, young man, and
| will remember that books reads. "All
Gaul is divided into three parts?' II
julius Caesar had known you before
he wrote that book he probably
would have struck out two of the
parts

The Masqerade

Last evenings masquerade ball given
by the Yerington Amusement company
was by long odds the event of the sea-

for the dancing, the music conld not be

the largest and jolliest crowds in attend
ance that has giaced a Yerington dance
in a long. long time. We haven't the
power to indidualize to any great ex-
tent, consequently the names of those
present will necessarily have to be omit

costume representing the Goddess OF
Liberty, was awarded first prize as the
best sustained lady character, while Joe
Mckay, fixed up as German, walked
away with the gentleman's prize.

tertaining. Without it Yerington would

Wilson Gold Mines company has con-

tap the big ore body at a further depth
of 200 feet. There is every reason to
believe that when this work is accomp-
lished Mountain View will show stronger

camps, if already it is not entitled to
the palm.

WILL SOON START WORK
ON CABLE ROAD

F. T. Torpey of the Nevada Traction
and Cable road recently visited Salt
Lake City. In an interview in the Salt
Lake Tribune, he is quoted as saying
that work on the road between Yering-
ton and Wabuska at an early date. The
article follows:
The project of connecting various min
ing camps of Nevada with railroads by
cable lines for transportation of both
freight and passengers has been revived
by the Nevada Cable and Traction Com
panv. The company now proposes to
construct its first line between Wabuska
and Yerington. distance of II miles,
assurance of the success of this line to
be followed by the building OF another
starting at Fallon and connecting the
camps of Fairview, Mecca, Rawhidc,
Monte Cristo, Goldyke and Manhattan,
with a branch line from Fairview to
Wonder
A line such as the company proposes
to build is said to be in successful opera
ton at the big lime kilns of the Holmes
Company in the Santa Cruz mountains
i'll California. The plan is to stretch
over ordinary wagon roads upon which
the company will run its engines heavy,
stationary cable, slightly elevated from
the ground at intervals SO that it may
not become embedded in mud or sand.
Each of the big freight and passenger
hauling engines will contain machinery,
operated by steam, for pulling itself
along the stationary cable. The passen-
ger and freight vehicles will be coupled
behind. The latter may be ordinary
freight wagons and stages, although the
company will have vehicles built spe-
cially for this service. II is said that
with the roads in fairly good condition
the freight engines will attain an average
speed of FIVE miles an hour, and the
lighter passenger engines will travel
about twice as fast This speed will be
maintained on the grades, unless the
latter are reUafkdulN nSdNN. II 10
claimed that it will be considerably
cheaper to run these engines than to
haul with horses i'll most sections OF
Nevada, where feed is abnornally high,
The result, it is said, will be material
/ lowering OF the rates for both freight
and stage service. f. T. Torpey, OF San
Francisco, manager of the company, has
this to say about the plans;
I'VE shall probably start work Ill a
few days on line between Yerington
and Wabuska. That is short line and
will give us considerable tonnage, Five
engines are now being built by the COM
pany in San Francisco, and by the time
these are ready we shall be able to start
that line. :"

Despite the fact that the power has
been turued off i'll this district, there IS
but one property idle and that one the

to the fact that with the exception OF

ENGLISH ENGINEER IS
CREATLY.IMPRESSED

Concerning the recent visit of G. A.
Williamson to the Nevada Douglas mines
Orem's Bulletin says:
A notable recent visitor to the Nevada
Douglas mines was G.. A. Williamson, a
prominent English mining engineer
from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Mr.. Williamson came over to New
York during the Christmas holidays ex-
pecting to look up some good mining in
vestments for friends abroad.
From New York he naturally went to
Nevada, first stopping. at Reno, where
by chance l met him and invited him to
accompany me to the Nevada Douglas
mines, which invitation he accepted.
Having. read Engineer jennings re-
port on the property he went prepared
to recommend the properties eventhough
he should have afterwards to discount
that report so per cent.
After spending two days there and go
ing all over Douglas Hill and down int
the Ludwig he expressed himself MOI
only satisfied with conditions, but of the
opinion that no overstimate or misrepre
! sentation had been made.
Returning with me via Salt Lake Cit,
Mr.. Williamson met and lunched will
Mr.. Jennings and from the latter re
ceived confirmation of the reasonable
ness of his estimates.
/ 1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Williamson
on seeing the Nevada Douglas mine
went no farther on his tour of inspection
They were good enough for him.
He sailed Thursday for London with ;
