RENO'S RATE CASE
WITH COMMENTS
Nevada Rail Road Commission Almost Certain VIM Points
Raised by Wheeler, and Others in All
Important Case

| Francisco, plainly is to reduce the
rates OF fares and freights from San
| Francisco TO Nevada, and TO maintain
the present rates from Eastern points.
to the end that San Francisco may
buy from eastern points cheaper
than Nevada can, and thus retain
Nevada as her exclusive territory for
exploitation. and prevent Reno and
other points in Nevada from the es-
Establishments and maintenance of
wholesale houses. from which the re-
tail trade can be supplied at a lower
rate than San Francisco merchants
en- supply them
The entire state should stand in
with Reno in its contention for lower
rates from the east to Reno, and sub
sequently Reno should stand in with
any similar contention such points
may make, but whether Reno will
stand in after it obtains the advant-
ages it seeks to retain its advantage
Wv tl otHtl to"hS III ANCNdud, Va
whether ii will "tOte fair" is an
other story. as Mr.. Kippling would
say
San Francisco merchants and job
bers threaten that if in the event that
Reno obtains better rates than San
Francisco from eastern points. that
they will come o Reno. and establish
wholesale houses. Come on. boys, and
establish wholesale houses in Reno.
You are most heartily welcome to par
ticipate with us in the payment of
taxes. erection of structures, employ
ment of labor. and generally patron
ize our local establishments. True.
the net profits will go to you in San
Francisco. but we have great hopes
that in short time our glorious clim-
ate and superior opportunities to
make money, will coax yOu to estab
lish your main office in Reno, and
operate only branches in San Fran
cisco.

1t seems almost certain that Ne
vada's Railroad Commissioners will
obtain for Reno better rates of fares
and freights from eastern points.
San Francisco certainly realizes that
fact, and in order to ward off such
calamity. through its Traffic AssOcia
ton, has employed w. r. Wheeler
one of the very ablest of men it could
employ, to subserve its own business
interests, and to retain Nevada as its
own ana exclusive field of eXploita-
ton.
In pursuance of his employment,
Mr.. Wheeler reSurected the evidence
given by Leland Stanford in support
of the contention of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company that its fare
and freight rates in Nevada were
fair, and to the effect that when said
rates We're set the railroad was forced
racramento to Carson City and to the
Cont sock, and that after he had man.
aged to drive the OK teams from com
petition, and the animals had been
turned to cOrned beef the rates were
raised.
The railroad attorneys attempted to
get possession from Mr. Wheeler of
the testimony originally given by Le-
land Stanford, but Mr.. Wheeler re-
fused to surrender it, although he
offered to give them a copy of it. The
Central Pacific Railroad Company had
a great many years ago gathered in
and destroyed the evidence given by
Mr.. Stanford, and was feeling secure
under the belief that no trace of said
evidence was left
Nevada should certainly feel great
full to Mr.. Wheeler for the resurrec-
tiOn Of that evidence But Nevada
has no thanks to offer to San Fran
cisco. or to Mr. Wheeler and why
not?

MINING NEW
NOTES
H. R. MighelS Tells an Appeal
Reporter About DOings in
RaWhide at Present

II. r. Mighels, who has kept a
pretty close tab on the dOings at
Rawhide for the past two years, and
who lately returned from the camp.
gives the following interview to an
Appeal man:
"Rawhide as business camp is
pretty quiet. The fact that the boom
bubble has been exploded naturally
brought the camp down the survival
of the fittest, and the result is that
the business men who "stuck" are in
business and carrying a good stock
The town is on a better financial
basis than at any time in its history
and with means to treat the large
quantity of milling ore that is .devel-
Oped in many mines and leases, Raw
hide will be one of the best business
camps of Nevada
Accommodation are first class
Good meals and we'll kept lodging
houses are to be found in several
quarters, while the town is piped
with good water. rrhe boom prices
have dropped and it is possible for the
mine OpertOrs to get along as cheaply
and as we'll as in any camp, in fact
better than most of them When it
is considered that nearly all of the
freight comes in via FallOn living can
be considered cheap.
"Regarding the mines and their
outlook. At the present time there
is a great amount of development
work going on. The mines are Oper-
ataed mainly by long term leases with
low royalties. This has stimulated
work and now people are quietly com
ing in and picking up some very good
ground that was originally opened for
high grade only. Rawhide is grad
ually developing into milling camp
and with two mills now operating
and another promised for the near
future, some very heavy bullion re-
turns can be looked for.
