KEEP YOUR EYE ON
MOUNTAIN

A strike has been made on Winnie
mucca mountain that should prove of as
great Importance to this town as the
advent of new railroad While sink
ing shaft on the Intermountain prop
erty blind ledge was encountered at
depth of 260 feet, assays from which
show values of from $25 to $40 per ton.
A great deal of valuable ore has been
taken from the mountain in years gone
by, but for some time very little has
been doing ! This spring w. G. Adam
son, superintendent of the Intermoun-
tain company, purchased large
amount of the latest mining machinery,
and for the last few weeks has had a
force of men at work sinking a shaft.
The result of the strike will no doubt
be to again turn the attention of min.
ing men to this locality.

WILL START SHOPS
WITHIN 80 DAYS

The material for the Western Pacific
shops at this place has been ordered
ana should arrive within the next
thirty days. Upon it's receipt work
will be commenced at once.
Tracklaying is progressing in a fair
ly satisfactory manner The gang
working this way from the east should
reach Battle Mountain 56 miles dis
tant, today. AS they are finishing
about mile day, they should reach
Winnemucca shortly after the Fourth
OF July. The gang laying west is now
three miles west of Dutchman IS well
and is going along at the rate of mile
per day
1t is now thought that through trains
will be running about Thanksgiving
time, although the line in Nevada will
be completed in from go to 80 days.
The delay will be occasioned in finish
ing the gap between Deep Hole and
Oroville, owing to the large amount of
tunnel work required.

Washington friends of William Loeb,
Jr., former secretary to the president,
are elated at the rumpus he is kicking
up in his new job as collector of the
port of New York. They always knew,
they declare, that Loeb had the making
of a first class rumpus man, but he has
had to hide his light under bushel
because his former chief not only in
sisted on playing first fiddle but per-
sisted in being the whole orchestra.
Loeb hardly has had time to warm
his colleetorship chair but already he
has started trouble in several different
quarters and is rapidly establishing a
class of undesirable citizens all his own
If the thing keeps up, say his FRIENDS,
Loeb will have reputation for strenu-
osity second to none in America, or n
Africa either, for that matter.

CHANGE
IN Time

An Omaha dispatch says that within
two weeks the dream of railroad men
for generation will become a reality.
Details are now being worked out of a
plan by which passengers will be en-
abled to travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific without change of cars.
While the complete schedule has not
been finally arranged as yet, it is prob
able the Union Pacific Is famous Over
land Limited will leave Chicago and
Omaha one hour earlier than at pres
ent on the west-bound journey, arriv-
ing at San Francisco at the same hour.
This will enable it to make close con-
nection with the train known as the
Lake Shore Limited, from New York
over the New York Central and Lake
Shore roads. East bound the Overland
Limited will leave San Francisco two
hours later, arriving at Omaha two
hours later, and Chicago two hours lat
er, or at 2:2S, for connection with the
IWentletn century Limited, wh1ch
leaves Chicago at 3 p. m. for its
eighteen-hour run to New York.
In addition to the through service
thus provided between New York and
San Francisco, there will be New
York-Denver sleeper, new connecting
train running over the Short Line from
Julesburg to Denver, giving the Union
tween Chicago and Denver.
Connection to Washington and Ore
gon points will be furnished as at pres
ent, the train dividing at Green River,
from which point faster schedule is
being arranged to Portland to meet the
increased competition of the Hill lines.

A GOOD MINING OPPORTUNITY.

A company of mining men, with some
capital, can secure good lease, or lease
and bond, on a group Of mining claims,
consisting of five claims, all surveyed,
blacksmith shop, tools, etc., ready for
working. All that is necessary is brains
and some capital for development pur-
poses.
The company is organized, and
stock ready for issuing. 1t is very sci.
dom an opportunity of this kind is on
the market, as these claims possess
good ores-gold, silver and lead, and
are located just above the new West
ern Pacific railroad, as well as the
Southern Pacific railroad is only short
distance, making transportation of ores
to the reduction plants and smelters
very reasonable.
( A new gold strike has been made in
the double compartment shaft of it's
neighbor. For examination of ores
and full information regarding leases,
bond and terms, call on the under
signed, 1t will pay parties who mean
business to look into this matter at
once.

Last Wednesday afternoon at 2
o 'eloek, at Mazuma, Frank M. Peart,
miner, shot and instantly killed f..
H. Read, another miner, by shooting
him through the heart. The affair oc-
Cured on the main street of the town.
Peart and Read quarrelled over money
matters. Read, is is said held Peart S
note for $3.50, money which was loaned
the latter, and had demanded payment,
which, being refused, legal proceedings
were instituted and Peart IS wages gar
nisheed.
This led to Peart's becoming very
angry, and on the day of the shooting
ne walked out of saloon in Mazuma
and encountered Read walking up the
street toward Seven Troughs. He inn
mediately pulled his gun and shot Read
through the heart, completing the

and lynching was talked of, but the
peace officers of Mazuma arrived quick
ly on the scene, and before any def
mite action could be taken Peart was
taken to the Jail at Vernon, where a
strong guard was maintained.
A coroner's inquest was held, and a
verdict rendered as to the cause of
Read s death. Justice Shaffner then
telegraphed District Attorney Ducker
regarding the crime, and Attorney G.
E. Robins, assistant district attorney,
arrived on No. 3 Wednesday night. He
left for Mazuma Thursday morning and
the preliminary was begun there yes

u. P. WILL INVADE
HILL TERRITORY

The Union Pacific has completed i,s
surveys and plans for entering Everett
and for the location of it's terminals
within this city; several routes from
Seattle to Everett are already surveyed
and the chosen one is to be announced
within year; the Union Pacific will
not only build to Everett but will con-
tinue on and invade the territory to
the north of Everett. 40 plans Of joint
construction or operation in connection
with other roads are contemplated, but
the Hartman system will have its own
exclusive terminals in Everett and will
build its lines north of Seattle with en-
tire independence of any other lines.
All these. announcements were made to
the Everett Herald, in an interview
granted this newspaper by J. D. Far
rell, vice president and general manag.
er of the Oregon &Washington railway,
and personal representative of Mr.. Har-
riman in charge of the far-reaching con-
struction plans of the Hartman lines
in the northwest. The Oregon & Wash
ington railway is the company organiz-
ed under the laws of Washington az
subsidiary corporations of the Union
Pacific for the purpose of building and
operating the lines of the Hartman
system which are comprised within the
borders of this state. Construction
work on the Hartman system is being
pushed with all vigor on the portion ex-
tending from Portland to Seattle, and
it is made plain in Mr.. Farrell q state
ments to the Herald that the continue
tion of tn cline north of Seattle is not
only being taken up in earnest but that
large part of the preliminary work is
completed. A few days ago condemna-
tion suits were filed in the King county
superior court seeking rights of way for
the Oregon & Washington on the
shores OF Salmon bay, as the first step
towards the acquisition of the property
needed for the right of way north of
Seattle, and other developments may be
expected to follow on large scale in
the near future which will be of intense
interest and Importance to the people
of Everett. Mr.. Farrell 8 statement
that the Hartman lines twill build
on northward from Everett can Of
course only be interpreted to mean that
the Oregon & Washington, whose chart
er filed with the secretary Of state
named Everett as the northern termi-
nus of the road, has enlarged the scope
of its intended construction. It is
hardly conceivable that the road will
be built northward from Everett uu-
less the extension is intended to include
full sweep of all the territory in that
direction to and including Vancouver,

Some of the ardent admirers of Mr.
Roosevelt, and there are a few or
them left in Washington notwithstand-
ing that the ex-president is on the 9th
er side of tn eworld, are disposed to
criticise because President Taft is hob
nobbing with so many of his predeces-
sor's arch enemies. They seem to think
Mr. Taft should have taken aboard the
Roosevelt quarrels along with his in
heritance of the Roosevelt policies. Ap'
parently the Taft critics have lost
sight of the fact that the present in
cumbent is bound to make choice
