lbe IrAD Trade Review. about 2OO0O.-
0O0 tons Of iron aud steel In cars and
locomotives and perhaps 100000
tons more In bridges. yiaducts and

road This IL about $3.50 tons per mile
The world at large has two and half
times AZ great "A railroad mileage as
the United States and doubtless twice
as much iron and steel In use. so that
the world has something like 100000
900 tons OF iron and steel engaged in
steam railroad transportation.

this same authority. the railway mile
age Of the world has Increased on an
average OF 2.6 per cent a year and
that OF the United States "a per cent

OF the world. but now that 1t has a

expected. At the rate Of increase for

proximately twenty-seven years to

wEHBANs IN IMPORTANT DEAL
Mortgage San Francisco Property For
One Million Dollars

The San Francisco Chronicle OF Au-
gust IL has the following regarding an
important deal entsred into by Carolan
7. Wenbau and Flora Wenban Mills.
who are well known and have large
property interests in Eoreka County:
A deed Of trust was placed OF record
yesterday In which the Wenban Estate
Company hypothecates to the Southern
Trust Company of Los Angeles two par
cells Of land in this city. one at the north
west corner Of Suffer and Mason streets.
the other at the southeast corner Of
jackson street and Van Ness avenue. to
secure an issue Of 81, 000. 900 in bonds.
The instrument is signed by Carolan
T. wenban. president. and Flora Wen
ban Mills. secretary. The bonds will
mature in 40 years and bear interest at
the rate of five per cent.
The interesting feature of this trans
action in that the estate company will
build upon these lots as o o as possible
and the buildings will be among the
best of their kind in the respective
places.

Gals calling attention to the fact that
the counterfeit artist is at work in the
Northwest and that bogus currency Of
the apparent face value of $1,000. 900

Strenuous efforts are being made to run
down leaders of the biggest swindle of
its kind ever launched against the Gov
eminent. Reports from the Northwest
cities are to the effect hat already the
fake currency has turned up. and there
is every possibility that it will be passed
in Eureka upon the un%suspecting.
The Information with reference to the
counterfeit bills as received by the au-
thorities is to the effect that Chief Flynn,
head of the secret service in New York
is responsible for the discovery of the
gigantic plot. His attention was called
to it two months ago by reports from
his agents that 81 bills of . shady char.
acter were being placed in circulation
The bills failed to appear in higher de-
nominations and IL then became the the
DRY of the police that foreigners were
back of the deal and used the smaller
denominations in order to circulate the
counterfeit money among the poorer
classes A force of detectives was de.
tailed to watch the foreign settlements
and 40 arrests were made. but the head
of the department wished to locate the
plant used to manufacture the cur
rency.
A dragnet was set for all the well
known connterfeitsrs in this country,
and the canvass proved that the plot
wa not in the United States. but that
the bad money was shipped to this
country from abroad in wholesale lots.
The operators sold the fake bill to their
agents at the rate of 25 cents on the
dollar, and as il was easy to float n +
rency in the small denominations. their
profits were very large. Since that time
the bills have circulated west and are
expected to show up in this part of
Nevada at any time.
