POWER FOR EASTERN NEVADA
Report That Nevada California
Co. Will Extend Line Through
Eureka to Ely

Three hundred and fourteen miles oil
Transmission for electric lighting and
power. This is said TO be the plan Of
the Nevada California Power Com.
pany. and embraces the longest line in
the world for the transmission Of the
Juice" for practical purposes.
From those in q portion to know,
says the Reno Journal, the corporation
named will extend it's transmission line
from Touopah or Mllers to Ely. Ne
vada, passing through many rich min
ing sections. The total distance from
the source of supply-Bishop. Oalifor-
nia-will be about 3l4 miles. thus max.
ing the line by far the longest for re-
liable and permanent service on the
globe.
For some tine the record was held by
a company operating q line from Oro-
vile. in Butte County. California. to
Oakland. thence to San Jose. thence to
San Francisco. q distance of about 297
miles; but this was chopped mp after
several months OF successfaI operation
by the establishment Of supply stations
in the Sierras to the West. The Great
Western has been the largest in the
United States, running q power line
from a point above Marysville. around
the bay to Frisco. or approximately 200
miles. Another big line in California
is that running from Tuolumne County,
from 20 miles above Sonora to Frisco.
where it is furnishing power for the
United Railroads Of that city. This
covers about 1876 miles.
The extension of the line Of the Ne
vada- California Power Company to
the mammoth plants at Ely would give
a distance Of 3l4 miles to be covered.
thus eclipsing every other similar sys.
tenn for practical and permanent SER
vice 10 the world. 1t abundantly
shows the faith of the interests behind
the big Nevada project in the future of
the States mining industry.
Information from excellent sources is
to the effect that the Nevada California
Power Company will this Summer ex.
tend it's mammoth electric system into
the Ely district. a distance of $50 miles
from Tonopah, the nearest division
point. or 3l4 miles from Bishop Greek.

Who KNOWS JAMES LAWN?
Anxious Relatives In the East
Seeking Information of His
Present Whereabouts

Sheriff NJ. Mahoney this week re-
ceived a letter from Mike M. LAWN of
Dubuque. Iowa. seeking information
which would lead to the locating Of his
brother. James LAWN, who it was
thought was at present residing in this
section. Mr.. LAWN states that he had
not heard from his missing brother for
IA years until the first of last January,
when he received a letter from him
dated Eureka, Nevada. in which he said
he was badly crippled. His communi-
cation was promptly answered by his
brother, and letters were also written
to him by his mother. another brother
and sister. Mrs. J. P. Wolf. residents Of
st. Paul. Minnesota. but nothing
further since that time has been heard
from him. Mrs. Wolf sent a check to
him in her letter, but has received no
word acknowledging its receipt neither
has the check been returned to the
st. Paul bank.
The mysterious part of the matter is
the fact that Mike LAWN in his letter
TO Sheriff Mahoney says he was in
formed by the Chief of Police Of
Dubuque that he had received q letter
on March 4. 1909, from James LAWN at
Eureka. Nevada. asking him if he
could give him any information about
his brothers. John and Mike.
Sheriff Mahoney has made diligent
inquiry regarding the missing man.
but 90 far his efforts have proved futile.
no one in this section. OF at the post
Office. has been found who knew . man
by that name.

new RAILWAY VIA HAMILTON
Ely-C oldfield Road May Pass Within
Twenty Miles of Eureka

Ely Record, March 10: A couple Of
miuing engineers who recently visited
the country along the proposed Ely
Goldfeld Railroad spent a few days In
Ely shis week, aud gave it as their
opinion that the road would be built
via Hamilton. aud about 20 miles south
OF Eureka over the old survey made by
the Rio Grande many years ago. Their
opinion is that the Curraut Greek route
will be abandoned. aud that from Hot
Greek the route will run nearly north
between the Hot Greek and Pancake
ranges until it swings around the north
end Of the Pancake range near Hamil-
ton.
While at Hot Greek and in that Sec
ton Of country they were It'd by
ranchmen and others that the Currant
Greek route had been abandoned aud
the last survey work vas being done
along the line as STATED above.
This proposed change in the line
would save the crossing of two ranges
OF mountains aud the dropping into
lower valleys between the ranges, Civ.
ing the road a more uniform grade THAI
by Currant Greek. The proposed line
would not only hit all the important
camps of the central portion Of the
State. but would also tap Hamilton and
Enraka two of fha ureataxt old tina
camps in the State, which only need
more direct railroad connection with
smelters to give them as great activity
as in years gone by.
This route, these gentlemen claim.
would be about 20 miles longer than
via Currant Creek. but the easier grades
would far more than make up for the
greater distance.

Telephone Co. Makes Changes

From Mrs. Ed wilhelm, who Is the
local agent in Eureka for the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company. 1t
Is learned that she received instructions
this week from Superintendent Hugh
Thomas at Salt Lake to cut out the
telephone his company put in ct the
Western Union Telegraph Office In
Eureka, and the work was completed
Friday.
1t seems the Telephone Company was
given permission by the Western Union
to string its wires on the poles Of that
company in Eureka. but since then
the telegraph company has discovered
that the telephone wires have to some
extent interfered with the transmission
OF Geographic messages. aud as a con-
sequence considerable dissatisfaction
mas arisen between the two companies.
Hence the order of Mr.. Thomas.
Mrs. Wilhelm further says that while
the telephone service between Eureka
and Ely has been discontinued for the
present. she believes the company does
not intend abandoning the original
pan OF installing a telephone system
70 Eureka. She also stated that Mr..
inoma advised her in his letter that

PROPOSED JUVENILE GYMNASIUM
Eureka Boys of St. James Club
Working for Worthy Object

Working for Worthy Object
During January. 1908. a boys club
was organized by Rev. Lloyd B. Thomas.
The club. consisting then OF eight
members, was known as the St. James
Boys Club. and while ID had been or
ganized chiefly for the boys Of ST.
James Sunday School, still any boy
between the ages of 0 and 10 is eligible
to membership. The object Of the club
is to promote a true spirit Of ~sociability
among the boys and to interest them in
things that are clean aud manly.
At this time the Club has grown to
10 members - 10 boys who are eager
for some way in which to spend their
energies in a profitable manner. They
have no club room, aud their homes are
too small for so many.
Tho only solution to the problem of
holding these boys together In the good
work they have begun is a gymnasium.
The people Of Eureka must surely wei.
come such a proposal for the youth of
the town. Ia order that money may
be raised foe q club room aud the
necessary equipment OF a gymnasium.
the ST. James Club wiA give a dance
on April l6. A very liberal patronage
from the public is asked for this first
attempt of the Eureka boys towards
establishing an institution for their
physical and moral uplifting.
An ADVERTISEMENT Of the dance will
appear in next wssk's Issue of the
SENTINEL.

IT is REBELLION
Act of Government EMPLOYEES
Association in France
In Forming a Union Is Declared
to BE Illegal.

Paris. May Both public sympathy
and the law seem today to be clearly
against the Posts. telegraphs and tele-
phones employees association, which
has thrown down the gage of battle
to the government by transforming it
self into a syndicate, or union, under
the laws of 1874. This action placed the
association on the same footing as the
workmen's unions. and was calculated
to give it the right to strike against
its employer, the state.
The newspapers this morning. with
the exception of the extreme socialist
organ, are unsparing in their denunci-
alton of the stand taken by the associ-
alton, as an act of rebellion and they
urge the government to proceed with
energy and crush the insurrection be-
fore the movement engulfs the other
categories of state employees.
Evidence accumulates todav that the
formation of this union was only the
first step in a far reaching plan of the
general federation of labor to place the
entire machinery of the government at
its mercy.
The law of 1884 limits unions to pro-
petitive industry" and the attorney
general of the republic is expected to
decide summarily that the syndicate Is
illegal and order its dissolution
As soon dS Li1lS - uOHc the OTSanlZ-
ers of the movement will be subject to
heavy fines and imprisonment If they
persist in meeting.
The congress of railroad men at a
secret session today decided to SUBJ
init the question of a general strike to
a referendum. and appointed a perma-
nent strike committee
| Dispad ches from Lyons, Havre and
other cities say the posts, telegrapfs

STEEL and IRON POOLS.
Cost of Production in the Manufac.
tories of England.

Washington. May Pools among
barmakers. rail pools and other combi-
nations a third of a century'S steadl-
ness in the quantity of native iron ore
mined, and the variation in values Of
such products are among the matters
threShed out in a report on the condi-
tions of the British iron and steel in
dustry. submitted by Charles M. Pep
per, special agent of the bureau OF
manufactures. The values of ore are
on a gradually lowering scale. The re-
port quotes figures of the cost of pro-
duction of pig iron in the leading man
ufacturing districts ranging from 1892
on the east coast, to $13.45 per ton for
the Bessemer ore pematite of the west
coast. The ultimate cost per ton OF
British steel in Bessemer works, having
auxiliary blast furnaces, he states to be
s23.35 for steel ingots and $3.50 for
steel rails.
Mr.. Pepper places the cost of the pig
iron in this manufacture at 1880.
Wages are given as follows:
Per ton of pig iron, s1.06; per ton OF
ingots. 60 cents: per ton of rails, $1-66.
A difference of opinion exists among
British iron and steel manufacturers
as to the future of the industry but
| ity of the industry disappearing
through the exhaustion of natural
sources of supply.
Wages in the iron and steel works
are adjusted according to a sliding
scale. automatically by agreement be-
| tween the employers and the working
men.
The United States and Germany are
| the best customers of pig iron.
| The report shows British rail pool
which not only fixes the price, but
names the companies by which deliv-
| cries shall be made to the railways.
This is affiliated with the international
Rail syndicate. of which the British
mills are members. There are price
| conventions or trust agreements in the
galvanized sheet industry and among
| the marked bar makers One of the
most effective combinations is that
/ among the makers of ship plates and
| angles. When the home demand Is
dull and foreign business is wanted
| badly. a difference of s. per ton is
about the average between the home
and foreign prices, in favor of the
| foreign buyer, but sometimes ii Is
| greater The formation of these trade
| con- binations both as to home and
| foreign sales is said by Mr.. Pepper tc
| be growing among the British manu-
facturers.
