A sHoRT--sICHTED POLICY

Senator Clark, who built the Sal
Lake.San Pedro Railroad. says freight
rates should be reduced on Nevada ores.
and the Ely Mining Record believes the
Senator is corr ect. With reasonable
freight and smelling charges there is
really no telling what Nevada might
accomplish in a few years. The rail-
roads have adopted q short-sighted
policy By making almost a prohioiiive
rate. and are therefore hauling empty
cars across the country. The smelters
have robbed the producers so long that
il has become a fixed habit with them.
While their direct charges for smelling
are reasonable. they have so many little
iokers in their schedule OF rates that
they to get about all there is In
the ore by the time they get through
with it. One Of their most barefaced
robberies is the freight on bullion from
Salt Lake to New York, which is double
the actual cost. II the people OF Salt
Lake were alive to their own interests
they would put a sudden stop to this
treatment of the producer by arrests
and prosecution. Such methods are
little short Of highway robbery.

Mr.. ulenTFOOT's OBSERVATIONS

Gives Sentinel Readers Account of Con-
ditions in Lander and Elko Counties
Deputy Superintendent and Mrs. A.
B. Lightfoot returned Saturday from
their trip through the north end OF Eu-
reka and Lander Counties, and a few
days visit in Elko. Mr.. Lightfoot gave
a representative of the SENTINEL the
following account of his observations:
Battle Mountain has improved greatly
since my last visit there in the Winter.
Several new houses have been built.
and others are under construction. 1t
now seems to be an assured fact that
a smelter will soon be erected near the
town. and everything indicates that the
tide of prosperity is turned towards
Nevada. All of the new buildings have
an appearance of permanence, and the
general condition Of that whole section
impresses one with the idea that a Pc
Rod Of calm, solid improvement has
set in.
ELko Prosperous and Programme
Elko is certainly a prosperous and
growing town. 1t has an unusually
large number Of enterprising. wide
awake business men who are willing to
stake their prospects upon the future Of
their city, aud my own impression is
that il ia entirely safe for them to do SO.
New buildings are being rapidly con-
structed. In every instance they are as
substantial as those found in any town
or city in the country. Probably no
town in the State is making a greater
permanent growth. and. certainly. none
presents a better appearance. A home
in Elko is just as desirable as a home III
any part Of the world; the schools are
not excelled by those Of any city sys-
tenn; and / have nowhere met with a
better class of citizens.
Western Pacific Resumes Work
Work has been resumed in several
places along the line of the Western Pa.
ciic Railroad. although the crews en-
ployed are comparatively smaller than
last year. / heard from many reliable
sources that the work will be pushed TO
. much greater extent as o o as men
can be had. ! was told that the wages
for common labor are s2.25 per day. but
am not positive that this is correct.

Now hat the work is finished, many
Republicans from the trans Missouri
