There is hardly the analogy between
this suit and the one successfully pros
ecuted against the Northern Securities
company which is implied in the state
ment of the attorney general. The
Northern Securities company was a
holding company, organized for the
specific purpose of acquiring the stocks
of two parallel roads. Its organization
was prima facie evidence of a purpose
to suppress competition. This case deals
with no holding company. but with
railroad companies in operation of
their lines some of which companies
are owned by others In accordance
with a practice that is almost as old
as the railroad system, which is not
specifically prohibited, and which was
not even checked by the Northern Sc
curities decision.
The ownership of one railroad COM

A BAD WRECK
WEDNESDAY, NEAR
WINNEMUCCA

What is regarded by railroad men
as the most disastrous freight wreck
in years occurred Tuesday night a
few minutes after midnight Just east
of Eglon, about twelve miles east of
Winnemucca. The derailment was
due to a broken wheel on one of the
freight cars and sixteen cars of oil,
machinery, dressed poultry and other
freight are lying a tangle mass of
wreckage along the tracks for some
distance.
There were no fatalities and only
one man, Brakeman L. A. Graves was
slightly injured, receiving a small cut
over the right temple, which did not
interfere with his aiding in clearing
the track of the wreckage. All traf-
fc will be blocked for twelve hours.
Last nights eastbound passenger
trains, the Overland Limited and No.
4 are ON this side of the wreck and
the west bound flyer and No. 5 OF
this morning are on the other side,
thus tying up passenger traffic both
ways.
That none of the train crew was
killed or seriously injured in the
smashup is regarded as a miracle
and is probably due to the fact tina
due care was used by the train crew
in handling the train. The train wa
an extra west bound freight and wa
moving along apparently in good or
der at the usual rate of speed, abou
twenty miles an hour. Suddenly
without warning, the ears began t
pile up and Engineer j. R. Watson
Immediately applied the air an
brought his train to a s~tandstill a
soon as possible. An examination G
the cars after the wreck showed tina
the axle on a coal ar, three car
from the engine, had broken. 81
cars of coal in steel cars were dc
rallied and ten other cars loaded wit
oil, dressed poultry and machiner
were piled up. There was consider
able loss. One car Of oil is a tot;

Fast Ride
Which Was Not
On the Cards

Simplex started. That five miles lead
was eaten up by the Simplex by the
time the two cars had reached the
Salisberry wash, the Pope was pass
ed and the Simplex pulled into town
a good six miles in the lead. The
run of some fifty miles was made in
less than two hours. Long before
Tonopah was reached the passengers
in the back seat of the car were
shouting for lower speed, as they
could not hold on any longer" The
speed was not slaekened, however,
and the Simplex people now believe
that they hold a desert record. The
drivers of the two cars. nor the pas
sengers, knew when they started out
Thursday morning that they were to
participate in n of the fastest auto
rides which has ever been taken over
the desert roads for that distance.

AN OLD Miner
met DEATH BY
AN ACCIDENT

About a quarter to II o'clock last
night, Edward Sullivan, a well
known miner, was accidentally killed
at the G. & c. shaft at Virginia City,
says the Enterprise. Mr.. Sullivan
had changed his clothing preparatory
to going ON shift and, as the evening
was cool, he went into the boiler
room, where 1t was warm, and sat
down on a timber above the end of
the boilers. 1t is supposed that he
dozed and lost his balance and fell
over backwards about ten feet into
the pit behind the boilers. Fellow
miners who were a short distance
away heard him falling and rushed
to his assistance, but he only gasped
a few times and died. His body was
taken to the mine office, and DR..
Sullivan was hurriedly summoned,
but the unfortunate man was beyond
all help.
An examination showed that he
had struck something in his descent,
the scalp on the left side of his head
being torn for five or six inches and
the skull badly crushed at the top of
his head.
He was one of the oldest miners on
the C%omstock, and leaves a wife.
four daughters and a young son, two
of the daughters at present residing
in Reno. He was one of the best
miners in this city and greatly es-
teemed by all who knew him-an
honest, upright man who attended
strictly to his own affairs. The body
was taken to Kitzmeyer and Kenny's
undertaking parlors.

SEVEN TRoUGHS now H.
The Kindergarten mill completed its
run of thirty shifts Wednesday and
made one of the greatest cleanups in
the history of the plant. From as
says ON the ore run through and the

ed that the present run will result in
a total output of not less than $1S,-
900. The run has been made on a
remarkably uniform grade of ore of
Il very high milling class, the $751;
600 coming from less than 200 tons
OF ore. This substantial tonnage to-
gether with the ore in all prior runs
at the mill comes from the mammoth
body of ore above the 225-foot level.

that the shaft will have reached its

new DISTRICT
Opened near

L. E. Rockwell, l.. Johnson and
others are opening up a new section
of the district, eight miles north of
the town of Chafey and only a mile
and a half from the Southern Pacific
railroad. They are only two miles
southwest from the old camp of
Rosecreek, where mining has been
successfully carried on for a great
many years and where they are now
installing a new sixty-horsepower
gasoline hoist on the property on
which they are sinking four shafts
and doing other work, says the
Chafey News.
The belt In which Messrs. Rock
well and Johnson are working is
porphyritic in character and is about
two miles in length by one and one
half miles in width. Some twenty
p%rospectors are now located there
and good values, which are almost
wholly in gold are being obtained in
many places. On, the Red Calf claim
of Mr.. Rockwell and associates a vein
over twenty feet in width has been
opened up and values as high as $50
per ton have been obtained from the
porphyritic quartz, which pans nicely
across the ledge.

CHAFEY'S FIRST
STEAM PLANT
IN OPERATION

The first whistle to awaken the
echoes of Monroe gulch greeted the
ears of its inhabitants yesterday
morning, announcing the fact that
the big forty-horsepower hoist was
ready to lift the treasures lying on
the lower levels of the now famous
Black Hole mine, and the work of
sinking the new shaft will be pushed
from this time on with great rapid
ity.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to sink to the 150-foot level,
where a station will be cut and levels
started in both directions on the
ledge. The new hoist will use as fuel
crude oil instead of coal and will run
a self-dumping skip of one ton ca
pacity. The eighty-horsepower boil
er will not only furnish steam for
the hoist, but will run a b~elt-driven
air compressor for the mine. Two air
drills will be used in advancing the
main drift and in stopping. The shaft
at present will be sunk by hand drill.
The main drift on the ledge to the
north continues in ore. This shoot
be yet removed. Excellent values
have been encountered lately, the as
says for the past four days clear
across the ledge average better thar
$3.50 per ton, making this mine q
world-beater.
The work of Mr.. Castle, foreman
of the mill, is highly praised by the
officers of the company. The Difficult
ties under which he has labored ar,
well known by the management
making his success the more marked
Mr.. Castle has gained results whicl
could only have been obtained b,

There are few men in the bushes
