TRANSPORT ORE

F. T. Torpey of the Nevada Cable
and Tranction company OF San Fran
cisco in speaking of the project of es-
tablishing a cable road for the trans
portation of ores and passengers in
this State, recently stated that if the
undertaking as at present outlined
is accomplished a number of camps
that are now without transportation
facilities will be given the opportunity
of getting out their ore at mini
mum cost.
''We shall probably start work in a
few days on line between Yerington
and Wabuska," said Mr.. Torpey.
"That is a short line and will give us
considerable tonnage. Five engines are
now being built by the company in
San Francisco, and by the time these
are ready we shall be able to start
that line.
"Our biggest plan, however, en-
braces a much bigger territory than
that At first we planned to run di-
rect from Miiler's Siding to Manhat
tan, which would give us about a
thousand tons tonnage But, after
studying the map, we have about con-
cluded that it would be better to al
ter our plans so as to tap bigger
field.
"Under our latest plans we should
start at Fallon, run to Fairview and
then through Mecca, Rawhide, Monte
Cristo, oldyke and finally reach Man
haitian. A branch line from Fairview
to Wonder would be built. All this
would give US tonnage of about five
thousand tonso
The cars are operated by a cable,
and the engine supplies it's own motive
power. The device is now in success
full operation at the big lime kilns of
the Holmes company in the Santa Cruz
mountains and the company is satisfied
that it could be utilized in Nevada. 1t
can handle a twenty-five per cent
grade if necessary. The cars when
loaded make a speed of about five
miles an hour, and the passenger cars
travel about twice as fast.
Mr.. Torpey stated that he expected
to begin operations Immediately and
that he had no doubt of the final ae-
complishment of the project.

FATALITIESIN ELKO
WRECK

One eof the most 1rightful wrecks
that ever occurred on this division Of
the Southern Pacific occurred last
Thursday in the west end of the Elko
yards.
The local freight train headed west
was standing on the siding waiting for
freight train No. 1928. Engineer T.
KERN Sof the local left his engine and
went to the toilet near the passenger
depot. His fireman was on the tender
shoveliag coal from the rear end. For
some reason, probably leaky throttle,
the engine started and ran to the west
end of the yard. The fireman thought
the engineer was in the cab and went
on shoveling coal. Train 1928 was
just pulling into the yard at good
rate of speed and the engine and three
ears had pust passed the switch when
the runaway engine reached the frog.
The side of the fourth car was badly
damaged, the fifth and sixth were
turned over and the ten cars following
were mashed up and piued up in ter
rible confusion.
Two men were beating their way in
the sixth car, and one Of these, David
LtWlS, was AlACQs AAlS nC00 dAN SASos
were crushed. The other, John Flynn,
had his hip fractured. In the seventh
car three men were meating thheir
way.
One of these, G.. T. Ballard, was 80.
frightfully mangled that he could hard
ly be recognized as a human being.
His body was severed in twain, the
upper part hanging on the front Of the
engine and the lower part so jammed
with the broken timbers that it was
hours before he could be extricated.
The two men who were with him were
injured about the head and body, but
both were able to walk to town, and
were later taken to the county hospi-
tai. They gave their names as Thomas
Foster and George Gale. Gale and
Foster, who were in the car with Bal
lard, say that the three were close to-
gethe in the front of the car, they
heard crash and the next they knew
they were tryin to crawl from the de-
bris. Fosters foot was fastened and
Gale had to cut off his overshoe and

is only a few years since the San

articles were undoubtedly potent
factor in causing the murder of Me-

and the New York mob hung Hearst

was to libel President Roosevelt, saying
he shot a Spaniard in the back at San

The Cut Bank

ToWnsite Tan9le

Helena, Feb. 10.-Business houses
and residences of Cut Bank, in the
northern part Of Teton county, are
situated upon land owned by the ct.
Northern railway, and by the state
OF Montana, and the land upon which
the school house is situated is the
only tract in that village whose IL
tie is clear. This is the gist OF the
report to be made to state board of
land commissioners by State Engin-
eer John w. Wade, who returned from
Cut Bank yesterday, where he was
engaged in surveying and making
plats of the village.
This situation is the result Of a
long controversy between the state
and a settler named Allison for poss-
ession of the land on which Cut Bank
Is built. Believing that Allison was
the rightful owner Of the land, prop
erty owners either purchased or leas-
ed lots from the settler, with no Re
ference to the claims Of the state o.
Df tne railroad A recent decision
Of the court places the land In poss-
ession Of the rightful owners, thus
making the former deeds given by
Allison invalid.
