GOLDFIELD-BODIE RAILROAD
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED
Great Lumber Section to be Tapped and Goldfield the
Base of Operations--Road to be Built by Tonopah
Goldfield--Work to be Started April 1st

ably upon by the Tonopah and Goldfeld board, receiving the affirm
alive vote of IL of the 10 directors, Senator Nixon, the ID director, not
being present.
.The engineering corps of the railroad is now being organized
to make the survey, and the traffic manager of the Tonopah and Gold
field railway has received instructions to 60 to Mono county to de-
termine the amount of available freight outside of that which we agree
to contract.
.On our lumber contract with the government we agree to pay
for the timber in advance of cutting in $4,000 payments. The first
payment has been made, so that cutting may continue this winter,
anticipating the construction Of the road early next spring"
Goldfeld to Be a Terminus.
II. R. Grier, the local representative of the Tonopah and Goldfeld
ISprings-or Bodie, which is practically the same thing-wil be con-
'structed, and that 'the trains of the road will be run directly into
Goldfeld at this end, making Goldfeld a terminus of the road. The
road will connect with the Tonopah and Goldfeld at Tonopah jun
ton
This new road explains to some extent the increase in side of the
old shops, and the increase in the promised working force of the rail
road, which is hard for many people to understand. They figure that
the present railroad force is not as large as has been stated in the story
of the new shops being built here, and of the removal of the general
offices to Goldfeld. The new line will greatly increase the number of
employed.
GoldAeld a Lumber Town.
The Mono country will supply practically all Of the mining lum-
California. 1t will be sent to the Ely country over the road from
.Goldfeld to Ely, and Tonopah and Goldfeld mines will have their
lumber supply practically at their doors.
The lumber company must cut 100000 feet of lumber a year,
and that tonnage in itself is a large item when it comes to railway
traffic. That lumber must be marketed, and the market will center
in Goldfed.
This lumber business is not to be underestimated. Then, between
IGoldfeld and Bodie is some IS miles of rich mineral land that will be
tributary to Goldfeld. There are some fine mines in that section,
with thousands of tons of ore blocked out and in mines that can not
ton with mills. There is much more ground that will be developed
with transportation facilities assured. All this will help Godfeld.
The information given by Mr.. Knox is in the shape of a letter to
his associates, and is officially confrmatory of what has been given out
by local officials of the Tonopah and Goldfeld railway, as well as by
the Philadelphia men who are interested in the road and lumber COM
|pany of though local capital is also largely interested.

Gently at their oil we'll, about six miles

Then began a struggle with water. At
present the well is down a little over
1900 feet and contains nearly 100
feet Of water. The large bailer is in
service constantly during two eight

asphaltum or something resembling it.

ENORMOUS Use OF COAL
bY The RAILROADS

Z Most ninety million tons of coal, one
fifth of the total production Of the
country, were consumed by the $1,000
locomotives in the United States in
1906 in hauling freight and passenger
trains. This fuel cost the railroad COM
panies $170,5oo,oOo.
This consumption of coal
by the railroads led the United States
geological survey to conduct a series Of
tests on a locomotive to determine
whether or not there could be a saving
to the country in the amount Of fuel
used and the results have just been an
nounced.
Professor w. +. M. Goss, now dean
of the University of Illinois, who had
charge of the experiments makes the
statement that Of the total 90, 900
tons of coal used, 1O,OS0,0OO tons are
lost through the heat in the gases that
are discharged from the stacks of the
locomotives; S,64O,0OO tons are lost
through cinders and sparks; 100000
tons are lost through radiation, leak
age of steam and water; 1850, 900 tons
are lost through unconsumed fuel in
the ashes, and 100000 tons are lost
through the incomplete combustion Of
gases. In addition, $4,000, 900 tons are
consumed in starting fires, in moving
the locomotive to its train, in backing
trains into or out Of sidings and in
keeping the locomotive hot while stand
ing.
"Under ideal conditions of opera
tion,' says Prof. Goss, much of the
fuel thus used could be saved, and it
is reasonable to expect that the normal
process Of evolution in railroad prac-
tice will tend gradually to bring about
some reduction in the consumption thus
accounted for. The loss represented by
the heat Of discharged gases offers an
attractive field to those who would i'm
prove the efficiency Of the boiler. The
fuel loss in the form of cinders passing
out Of the stack is very large and may
readily be reduced. A sure road to i'm
provement in this direction lies in an
increased CRATE area. Opportunities
for incidental saving are to be found
in improved fame ways such as are to
be procured by the application Of brick
arches and other devices. Such losses
may also be reduced by greater care
IN the selection Of fuel and in the
preparation Of the fuel for the service
in which it is used. 1t is not unreason-
able to expect that the entire loss cover
ed by this item will in time be over
come. The fuel which is lost by drop
ing through CRATES and mingling with
the ashes is a factor that depends on
the CRATE design, IN the characteristics
Of the fuel, but chiefly on the degree
of care exercised in managing the fire.
More skillful firing would save much OF
the fuel thus accounted for.
