LARGEST STOCK SHIPMENT
OF THE PRESENT YEAR
Sparks Shops Now Running at Full
Blast and Preparations Making for
Heavy Freight Traffic

During the present week stock ship
ments from the Southern Pacific sta
ton have been unusually heavy, and as
the freight business of the railroads
is an unfailing barometer of business
conditions, it may be taken as an in
dieation that the late business depres-
sion is thing of the past, and that
the country is fast approaching a
normal state.
According to Agent A. :. Hooe the
heavy shipments Of the week have
ity, and should the improved business
continue, it is probable that after the
first of the month he will be given
more help.
For some time past the company has
been contemplating an increase in its
freight crews running out of this sta.
ton, and it is expected that an addi-
ton of three will shortly be made to
the present force.
All the men recently laid off at th.,
Sparks shops were reinstated on the
20th instant, and they are now being
run at their full capacity. On the
first of the coming month the Union
Pacific will put on all idle freight
crews and start up all their shops with
u full complement of men.
One of the largest single stock ship
ments ever made from the local station
was the one of yesterday by John ).
Cooper to Michner & Reeves, at South
Omaha. 1t consisted of 600 head Of
horses, which required 2s ears for
transportation and force of six men1
10 look after their wants on .the long
journey. About July 5th Mr.. Cooper
win ship 25 more carloads to the same
firm.
This afternoon r n. Hamilton, an
Omaha buyer, shipped 200 head of
horses to his headquarters.
Today Staunton Brothers are loading
car of wool to be shipped to Find

MARROW ESCAPE FOR
THE COMSTOCK MINES

On the morning of June 81 about
2:30 o'clock the blowing of the G. &
G. whistle and ringing of the fire bell
at Virginia City brought people out OF
their beds in a hurry, as a strong wind
was blowing and the east side of town
was lit up as bright as day. The fire
was in n barn at the south end of the
Recaration grounds and a short dis
lance from the c L. C. shaft. The
firemen made a quick run to the scene
and it required hard fight to put out
the blaze. The fremen had to play
the stream on the lower part of the
building as to throw the water on the
roof and have il come in contact with
;he live wires would have been instant
death to the men. However, they took
desperate chances, as showers of
sparks and burning shingles were ear.
ried through the air, and all realized
that, should the wind voer, the sparks
and burning shingles would land on tha
a. i G. shaft hoist and. with the wind
prevailing, that plant would have
been total loss.
The hose lines were laid at the mine
for any emergency, but, the power
lines fell and shot fire on the ground.
One line burstcd. with a report like
cannon, and the spectators moved
hack in a hurry pauar nola oIs.,
took fire and the top was burned off
The breaking of the power lines shut
down the pumps and cut off the lights
in the G. 4 C. and the Ward shaft
The direction of the wind was all that
saved the lower part Of the city from
disastrous blaze which would un-
doubtedly have destroyed the c. Z.
mine and power stations.
