Trust Acquires
Big Nevada Properties

The Adams gypsum plant at EN-
pire will become part of the trust
according to deal which is now
practically consummated and the pa
pers in which will be all signed and
delivered within the next two days,
says the Carson Appeal. The United
States Gypsum company which has
plants located throughout the coun-
try and at the present time practi-
cally controls the worlds output, is
the purchaser of the Adams plant and
gypsum deposits. Mr.. English, rep
resenting the company, has been in
Carson City for several days and all
the details of the deal have been
completed. Seen yesterday after
noon former Governor Adams refused
to state just what the basis of the
transaction was but it Is understood
to be large amount. The new own
ers will not take charge for some lit

the rains cease tracklaying will com

will be running between this city and
Oaklan and Oroville. At that time
the trans-bay terminal of the COM

The company originally sold $50

bonds for $45,000,000 in cash. OF
this sum s27. 100000 has already
been expended on construction work
in Utah, Nevada and California. The
remaining S1S,000.000, it is said,
will be sufficient to complete the en-
tire line between this city and Salt
Lake City OF the latter amount
s2,000,000 is on deposit here and the

cave. A stringer of 10x1 0-inch
timber was placed under the shaft.
These stringers were attached to l.
inch wire cables reaching to the sur
face. These cables were drawn taut
by means of chain blocks so that
these timbers served as bearer sets
to sustain the weight of the uninjur-
ed part of the shaft above them. A
crib of SxS-inch timbers was then
built from the top of the debris to the
stringers. Around this crib. in the
open cave, 90 cords of wood were
piled so as to fill 1t and support the
roof from which slabs fell even while
the men worked. Regular shaft sets
with Is inch hanger bolts were then
placed inside the crib and extending
to the top of the cave. From this
point progress was slow, due to the
necessity of driving spiles around the
sets, in order to keep back the loose
debris, which would flow almost like
water. The spiling was driven as
closely as possible. rags and old sacks
being used to stop any openings.
Broken timbers and criss-crossed
tagging delayed the work, for these
had to be sawed gently so as not to
disturb the ground more than was
actually necessary. The various
pipes had been showed from the man
way compartment clear over into the
hosting compartments, particularly
the steam column. one of the heavy
flanges of which was broken so that
the pipe was almost disconnected,
After progressing for nearly so
feet through this fioury debris. the
eaved and wood-hlled portions began
to settle badly cousing the wall plates
on the southwest corner to sag and
also making openings between the
spiles through which sand ran.
Other cables were lowered in an en-
deavor to support the work already
done, but on account of stretching.
were of no avail
Some other plan had to be adopted
to get through such shifting, settling
ground. 1t was impossible to learn
what the material in the shaft rested
upon; If the shaft was hung up, there
was a possibility of another run be-

low which would sweep everything
down. Thirty additional cords of
wood from time to time had been
placed in the opening to take up set
Ting and the u inch hangers were
pulling apart something had to be
done or else this method of going
through the cave and recovering the
shaft must be abandoned and a Wine
sunk at point north of the cave in
good ground and then crosscut
driven to the shaft at some supposed
ly good point. One could not hold
the mountain which seemingly was
pressing down the timbers for the
cables could not hold much more
weight.
At this point it was suggested that.
If the new portion of the shaft,
which was subjected to so much
strain, were disconnected from the
upper or uninjured portion by taking
out the hangings, the new portion
could settle without particular in
jury.
While this upon trial was found
to be the right course, still the settl-
ing was unequal against the sets, one
corner having tendency to sag more
than another. To overcome this
angle braces were placed. which
equalized the settling and permitted
continuous sinking. Finally by fight
ing for every inch. on Jan. IS, the
600-foot station was reached, 46 days
after the accident. At that point the
bottom of the cave was reached for
there the timbers and tagging had
criss-crossed and wedged each other
so tightly as to close the shaft and
stop further flow.
A small opening, enough to allow
a man to pass. was made through the
matted mass of timbers; then it was
found that the remainder of the shaft
was entirely unchanged and was
open to within 33 feet of the 1000
foot station. The entombed were ap-
prised of this and instructed to
take out the tagging plank on the
manway side, with the result that by
a little work the manway was
cleared from debris and their i'm
prisonment was ended.
