HOMESTEAD Law
NOW CHANGED

With the beginning of March a
new law governing the filing of ap-
plications for homesteads and timber
lands came into effect, doing away
with the laborious process hitherto
employed and centering in one short
document all of the formalities
which formerly required FIVE separate
papers.
Before March l it was necessary
for everyone applying for homestead
right to declare that he was either a
citizen of the United States or had
filed mis- first papers on one docu-
ment; an affidavit stating that there
was not, SO far as known any min
eral underlying made another
necessary. Three other forms we're
employed in declarations of the To-
cation of the ground. the reason for
not appearing in person at the land
Office. and declaration of non owner
ship of 500 acres anywhere in the
country.
The new law makes one form carry
all the points contained in the five
old ones which expedites matters
both for the person filing and the
land once.

500, 900 RAILROAD MEN IDLE.
Seven Big Roads In Receivers Hand
With Liabilities Of $45O, 600, 900

CHICAGO, March 22.-Since the
first of the year seven railroads with
5000 miles of trackage, representing
an investment of $415, 5,000, 900, have
gone into the hands of receivers.
The liabilities OF the roads aggregate
$3.50. 100000. During 1907 the list
Of receiverships included nine small
roads with a total of $40 miles. and
an investment of $3.882.460.
The seven railroads whose finan-
cial difficulties have taken them into
courts since Jan. 1, are the Sea-
board Air Line, the Chicago Great
Western, the Detroit. Toledo & IRON
ton, the International & Great North
ern, the Western Maryland. the Chi
cago. Cincinnati & Louisville and the
Macon & Birmingham. The last road
for which receivers have been ap-
pointei was the Western Maryland,
a Gould coal line. The International
& Great Northern, Texas road Is
also Gould property.
Railroad men estimate that about
5OO.O00 employees have been laid OF
since Nov. 1. The mechanical. ac-
counting. engineering and clerical de-
partments have been reduced an
average of one-third. In normal
times the railroads of the United
States employ about, l, 800. 900 men.
Department heads have orders to
continue gradual wedding out
process wherever practicable.
While there has been a slight in
crease In traffic of late, railroad men
say that the improvement has not
been sufficient to warrant the
assumption that the end of the re-
duction of forces has been reached.
A few of the eastern lines have re-
duced wages, but the western roads
will do this only as last resort.
Shop men and others, however, have
had their wages cut by shortening
of their hours of labor. Rumors,
of a general advance of freight rates
have been current here.

NEV. UNITED REPORTED
To Be IN BONANZA ORE
Rich Specimens Brought in Yesterday Caused Great
Local Excitement - Property Supported Thou
sands of People Until Rich Shoot Was Lost

Ely was yesterday electrified by
news brought in from the property
of the United Nevada Mines COM
pany by miners employed there that
the old Bonanza ore shoot, Is inches
wide and carrying 1900 ounces in
silver to the ton, had been discov-
cred in the drift off the new shaft,
sunk in an effort to find 1t. The
property Is located about IL miles
northwest of here.
The discovery of the old bonanza
shoot, If the report is true and
from, the specimens of the ore
brought in by the men there seems
to be little doubt of IL, means much
to this district, as 1t was this mine
which during the 70s and early sos
employed hundreds of men and first
brought this section of White Pine
county into prominence. Toward the
latter part of the sos, however, the
bonanza ore was lost and, although a
great amount of low grade ore re-
NAMED. there was not enough owing
to the low price of silver, to permit
of working the mine on the large
scale adopted In former times. Be-
fore the palmy days of the mine had
passed, however, the stockholders
were paid more than six million dol
lars In dividends.
Upon resumption Ur work many
of the old workings being soft ma
terial were found to be eaved in, and
1t was therefore determined that the
best procedure was to start new
workings to catch the old ore shoot.
II is now believed that this has been
accomplished.

FAVORS ELY
DOES DEPOT
DECISION

A private message received In the
city yesterday from Carson brought
the information that the state rail-
road commission had rendered deci-
sion ordering the Nevada Northern
to begin erection of a freight depot In
Ely on or before May l, and to COM
plete construction and begin freight
deliveries within 90 days. The site
recommended for the depot. the loca-
ton of which, however, is at the se-
lection of the railroad. is somewhere
west of the east line of the slaughter
house lot. The city of Ely is called
on by the commission in another rec
ommendation to close Ninth or
Tenth street and donate sufficient
ground to the railroad to build nee
essary tracks and structures on.
The Nevada Northern as yet has
received no notification of the ruling
of the commission. What course the
road will take is not known here.
The presumption is that 1t will ap-
peal to the courts and carry the mat
ter through. In which event Ely
will be doing very we'll II final de-
cision is reached within five years.
Meantime building will be in abey-
ance. Should the company decide.
however, to comply with the order OF
the commission 1t would seem proba-
BILE that ground next to the power
plant building at Ely City would be
chosen, this location affording the
only ground In Ely that affords. In

previously expressed, sufficient room
for the trackage which will be re-
uuired.

At present there are 25 men en-

Little news of the district can be

that hardly one of those who went
