AS the result of a wreck on the
Delaware division of the p, B. and
w. Railroad, at Mt. Pleasant, Friday
afternoon, one man was killed,
several fright cars were demolished
and traffic was tied up for several
hours. The dead man is unknown
and he was evidently a tramp who
was beating his way on the train.
When the debris was cleared away
his body was found with life crushed
out. He had evidently been instantly
killed. From what could be learned
about the accident, several freight
cars were being shifted on a side
track when a freight train, north
bound, passed the entrance to the
switch. In some manner one of the
cars on the side track was pushed
too far ahead and into the moving
train. The collision which followed
completely wrecked several cars.

CONDITIONS IN GOLDFIELD

AS sci. forth in last weeks issue If The News Judge Pennington Of the United

LIVING Is REASONABLE

I;r;no in Rawb;de ia more reasonable than one could ex
pect, considering that it is a boom camp, a i a iong sn 80
from the railroad and everything to eat and orih mas "
he freiqbted in. In fact living in Rawhide is no more ex,
pensive than it is at Goldfeld, with all the railroads n
modern stores of the latter town. OF course, the hvlng Il
not very good, vet, that is the Accommodations. Tor the
restaurants are small and crowded. There are a Few com
Portable lodging houses. Ross of Brown Palace fame IN
Goldfeld has put up the largest hotel in Rawhide, having
comfortable and clean sleeping accommodations Tor a nun
bred or more, and his prices are reasonable, compared WIN
prices in the boom DAYS of Goldfeld. Several other Gold'
field people have smaller lodging houses and hotels. IN
fact q ,ldfeld seems to be doing all the rooming and eating
business of the camp, as well as most OF the saloon pusi
ness. .
The camp hasn't attained to the dignity of an electric
lighted city. but it has a good substitute in a modern sys-
tenn of gasoline heating and lighting, which is just as sat
isfactorv and more economical.
Rawhide boasts of three as good newspapers as Will De
found in the country of towns three times its size. Ihere
is the Times Press, a weekly with a good daily EDITION,
there is in the business, backed by the larger interests of
the camp. The Rawhide Rustler, the pioneer paper OF
Rawhide, now owned by w. W. Booth of the Tonopah
Bonanza, one of the old-time editors of the camp. He has
an able assistant in William 8. Webster. The Rawh1de
News is controlled by C. c. Emerson, whose wide expert
ence in mining journalism and intimate acquaintance with
Nevada camp, is evidenced in the way he handles the
News. Merrill A. league, who knows the newspaper busi-
son in the conduct of the News, which fact is reflected in
the advertising pages of that paper.
Rawhide is especially favored in its climate. The altl-
tude is much lower than Goldfeld and there is a preceptlble
difference in the temperature, at least of its winters. 1t
hasn't had a summer yet. There was but little snow during
that has been the case in Goldfeld and other southern
Nevada camps the past winter.
Altogether, Rawhide has many essentials to a good
permanent camp and it is the impression of all who go
there and make a cursory examination, that the camp will
"make GOOD and become one of Nevada's biggest pro-
ducers of the yellow metal.
