LAKE TAHOE TROUBLE SETTLED
Government viii Now Build Dam To Conserve
Waters for Use in Dry Season.

During his visit here last week Con-
sulting Engineer L. H. Taylor, of the
Reclamation Service, informed the
STANDARD that the trouble between
the landowners along Lake Tahoe,
whereby the Government ~ been con-
strained from constructing dam at the
lake to conserve the waters during the
winter months for use in the summer
time when the water was low, had been
amicably settled and that the Govern
ment would proceed with the work.
This will insure sufficient quantity
of water at all seasons of the year to
irrigate the lands of the Truckee-Car-
son PROTECT and remove all fear on that
score.

WAS NEAR DEATHS DOOR.
Ambrose Madden and Frank Smith, Of Derby,
Have Thrilling Experience.

News comes from Derby of narrow
escape from certain death of Ambrose
Madden, prominent mining man and
well known in Fallon, and Frank Smith
proprietor of the hotel at that place
While driving along high, narrow
wagon road overlooking the railroad
tracks, about one mile east of Derby,
with spirited horse, they came face
to face around a curve with an automo-
bile. The horse Immediately whirled
to the left, down the almost perpendi-
eular embankment towards the railroad
track. Smith jumped at once, but the
horse had made one leap down the hill
as Madden flew out of the buggy, land
ing on his feet, then on his hands and
face, badly decorating them. On seeing
that Madden was free from the rig,
Smith, who had been hanging onto the
lines during the few seconds that in
tervened, let go his hold and the horse
and buggy rolled over the bluff, fully
800 feet, onto the railroad tracks below.
The horse was killed and the buggy
badly wrecked. Madden's fine gold
watch, in his wild plunge from the ye-
hicle, flew out of his pocket and was
dashed into numerous pieces on the
rocks below
The automobile belonged to Sam
Wheeler of Reno, and was in charge of
a chauffer.

MOJAvE GAP
SOON TO Be
CLOSED
Southern Pacific Rushing in
Material for Construc-
ton Work
Will Mean Main Line From
Hazen to Los Angeles
Means Much to Us

The gap between Keeler and Mojave
connecting Nevada and los Angeles by
rail, is being closed. Material is beinl
piled up at Mojave.
The work will necessarily involve the
widening of the tracks between Keeler
and Sodayille to standard gauge, and
will result in making the road from
Hazen to Los Angeles practically the
main lire OH an equality with that to
San Francisco.
The following from the Los Angeles
Angeles Times is authentic information
on the starting OF work:
Confident that the negotiations
pending with the board OF public works
over freight rates will reach an early
and amicable adjustment, the Southern
Pacific Company is rushing the con-
struction of it's new railroad from Mojave
to Keller, in the Owens Valley.
Thursday evening General Chaffee
and Mayor Harper talked with Con-
tractor Whittmeyer about the progress
OF the new line. To them he said that
II the company furnishes him men and
material he can build the road into
Keeler in eighteen months. He has es-
timated that he car have the line over
the first section, to Jawbone Canyon,
ready for operation within sixty days.
"The railroad men at Mojave say that
the crews OF two work trains that are to
assist in the new road have already been
selected. Brakemen on both freight
and passenger trains on the Mojave
division are laying their plans to win a
conductorship on the new line.
"The opening OF the road to keelei
will mark new epoch in the industrial
development in the southwest. While
this line is building the Southern Paci.
fie expects to widen the gusge of the
road running from Keeler to Hazen.
"This will mean short freight haul
from Reno to Los Angeles. 1t willavoid
the heavy grades OF the Sierras and will
clip at least "a hours from the running
Time between the two cities. The Union
Pacific will become an active competi'
tor of the Santa Fe and Rock Island FOL
the perishable freight business of South
ern California.
General Chaffe, w. B. Mathews and
Assistant Engineer Lippincott spent two
DAYS in San Francisco last week confer
ing with the Southern Pacific officials
over the question of freight rates. NJ
agreement was reached, but the South
ern Pacific has since sent an extra forcs
of men and teams to Mojaye to work OF
the new line to Keeler.
"Aqueduct officials say that railroad
line will be built to Jawbone Canyon
within ninety days, but they decline t,
discuss details"
The city OF Los Angeles is buildin,
an squeduct from Owens Lake to sup
ply that city with water, at a cost o
$50 600 900, and the aqueduct official
are pushing the officials of the Southern
Pacific in the work of constructing tn
road SO that the material for buildin
the aqueduct can be transported to it
destination and work on that project b
begun.-ED. Standard

$50 CHILDREN
BURNED TO
DEATH
Overheated Furnace Starts a
Fire in School Building,
and Panic Follows
Exits Choked, Many Jumped
From Upper Windows
to Icy Pavement

CLEVELAND, o., March 4.-0ver
in fire which destroyed the three-story
school building on Collamer avenue, in
Collingwood, a suburb, just outside the
city limits. At O'Clock this afternoon
l46 bodies had been recovered, and it is
believed there were several others in
the ruins. The fire started in tile base
ment just after 10 o'clock, just after the
school had convened. It was caused by
an overheated furnace. The smoke
from the fire quickly filled the building,
and alarmed the children and teachers.
A panic ensued. No fire drill was used
in rescuing the children. They rushed
pellmell for the doors and windows.
Walter c. Kellick, two OF whose child
rem were in the building, was one OF the
first on the scene. He stated that the
rear door, one of the two exits, was
locked. The children rushed for the
front and rear doors. The front was
soon jammed full of fighting and panic
stricken humanity. Many who reached
the exit first escaped, but those who
followed choked the doorway. Those
who fell were trainpled upon, and many
are supposed to have been killed 10
in this manner. Those behind turned
and made for the windows. Some upon
the second and third floors jumped from
the windows and escaped. In this way
three or four were killed, while Others
were more fortunate ana escaped with
but few injuries.
The greater number oil those who met
death were cut off from escape by the
smoke, which blinded them. Caught
like rats in a trap, they fell with the
lower floor amid the blazing timbers to
the basement below. There their little
bodies could be seen writhing IN theil
last struggle. Bodies were taken to the
morgue at the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railway shops.
Factories in the immediate neighbor.
hood dismissed their men, who went tc
work in an effort to rescue the little
ones. few minutes after the building
was known to be on fire the school wal
surrounded by fathers and mothers who
were frantic in their efforts to rescue
their children. Very few were saved
from among the children who were be-
hind the jam at the second door. The
others escaped with but slight injuries
The school was of common grade, and
contained $50 children, ranging IN ag,
from to IA years. Two or three teach
ers are thought to have perished. Tn,
fire from the basement filled the schoo
rooms with smoke, which caused the
first alarm, and leaped up the stairway
to the first, second and third floors
When the children ran from the rooms
to the Railways they rushed into fiery
furnace. 1t was in the Railways and a,
the main exit where the greatest mum
Der met death. The Railways were mar
row and could not accommodate the
large number that attempted to rush
through them TO reach the main door

now, and it can boast of five producers
of high-grade ore.
The Nevada Hills mine, opened about
twenty-five months ago, has paid five
dividends, each of 10 cents share, and
its ore reserves are as great as any mine
in Nevada-not barring the famous
Mohawk.
The Fairyiew Eagle, the controlling
interest of which is held by Nixon &
Wingfeld, has recently opened up a
large body of high-prade ore, and the
sacking of shipping ore is maintained
regularly. Much of the ore averages
$500 per ton. and the general average
far exceeds 800 per ton.
The Nevada. .Farview mine, just north
of the Nevada Crown Company's prop.
erty, is sacking high-grade from its
upper workings.

for which John Harnan of Cripple Greek
paid 100000 in cash, price which
stood as the largest ever paid for bare
prospect until recently, when the sale o
the Mizpah was announced. has Joined
the shipping list.
The Mizpah, on the same dyke as the
Gold Crown, has surface showing
which makes the sacking OF $500 ore
possible, and it bids fair to be another
