COMPLETION
OF TUNNEL
Will Cause G. p. f. r. to
Build Long Tunnel in
Order to Compete

The completion of the bore of the
Beckweth Pass tunnel for the West
ern Pacific marks substantial prog
ress in the work of construction
through the mountains That was
the most formidable undertaking on
the whole line, and it's completion
will enable more rapid progress to be
made.
This great tunnel insures the new
railroad a grade not to exceed l per
cent, and a crossing of the Sierra at
a maximum altitude of 5,019 feet. Ac-
cordingly here will be no obstruc-
tion to traffic on account of snow, and
the grade is so moderate that heavy
trains may be hauled across the
mountains with comparatively little
difficulty and at low cost, compared
with the Central Pacific.
With real competition for business
between the Western Pacific and the
Hartman system, it will be needfui
to reduce the grades on the Central
and also to cross the Sierra at low
er altitude, so as to escape the heavy
cost of maintaining snowsheds. This
would call for early construction OF
the much-talked of long tunnel
through the mountains.

Keller resided in Tonopah almost con

as a crap dealer at the Casino for a
short time previous to his arrest. The
detention of several men at Goldfield

PROPERTY
Government Wants State
to Buy Stewart
Institute

This afternoon Governor Dickerson
Attorney General Stoddard and State
Engineer Nicholas departed for the
Stewart Indian School to the south
of this city in company with Indian
Agent Davis of the Indian Depart
ment on a tour of inspection of the
federal institution.
Some time ago the Indian Depart
ment notified the governor that the
Stewart Institute would be abolished
and offered the buildings and land to
he State for a state institution, pro-
vided the State desired to pay reas-
enable price for the same.
Since that time there has been
considerable said regarding the pur-
chase of the school for a reforma-
tory and to care for the wayward
children of the State. In conjunction
with this several other ideas have
been advanced among them that a
part of the property be turned into
hospital for the criminal insane
AS result of this general discus
sion Indian Agent Davis has been
sent to this city to confer with the
state officials and for this reason the
visit to the Institute is being made
today.
1t is not Improbable that biz will
be introduced in the coming session
of the legislature relative to the pur-
cha ing of the Indian School and the
turning it into a branch of the State
government. The property is in first
clc IS condition and is very valuable
having a good water right and the
buildings being modern in every res.
pect.
