Berlin. Dec. 3-The government or Nicaragua is represented here by Con- sul General J. W. F. Pein. who In a long Interview in the Lokal Anzeiger today minimizes the impression which the dispatches from Washington might make as to the acts of President Zelaya-
 The consul general says that Zelaya is not tyrant but on the contrary is a humane. good-hearted man. who Is striving to maintain order in his coun- try. Among other things, Mir. Pein says:
 'If. as 1t appears. Groce and Cannon were insurgents seeking tc blow up a government vessel. then martial law came properly into action against them"
 The consul general says that he is informed from Nicaraguan sources that General Estrada. the insurgent leader, had been friend of Zelaya and was trusted with the governor ship of the Atlantic coast but used hls position to foment revolution.
 MT. Pein attaches no significance to the fact that the Nicaraguan charge d'affaires at Washington has been given passports. as according to MT. Pein. the charge had been replaced and was about to leave the United States when the Incident occurred.

Another railroad for Goldfeldl

NDOs"S ~AAO"~ AA OHNhSAN
That the Goldfeld-Bodie railroad is a assured fact and had a
bearing upon the location of the Tonopah and Goldfeld shops at Gold
field, was the statement made by Judge Campbell, of the firm OF
Campbell, Metson & Brown, attorneys for the Tonopah and Goldfeld,
when here Saturday closing up the agreement for the building OF the
railroad shops at this point. The statement was confirmed by General
Manager Hanlin, and now comes further confirmation by Charles E.
Knox, the original promoter Of the Bodie railroad and president of
the Mono Lake Lumber company which is to furnish the tonnage of
the new road.
The Mono Lake Lumber company is one of the largest concerns
of the kind in the west. 1t has a contract from the government for
80 million feet of lumber and 10000 cords of wood. 1t is to get this
lumber and wood to market that Mr.. Knox has promoted a railroad
from Bodie. Under his direction statistics have been prepared show
ing the resources of the section to be tapped by the railroad and this
data has been submitted to the Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad with
"a proposition that this company build the line. The company, at its
late meeting in Philadelphia, took favorable action on the proposition
and now has engineers in the field checking up Mr.. Knox's data. II
the report is favorable (and there seems to be no question about IT.
the company will undertake the building of the road at once, and ac-
cording to Judge Campbell, dirt will begin to fly by April /
Knox Confirms It. n
In a letter to stockholders of the lumber company, Mr.. Knox
son the End Of November, we made a contract with the United
states government for 100000 feot-butt measurement-of saw
timber. and 40 900 cords Of wood in the Mono Lake country. Under
this contract W are to cut 100000 feet per year, cutting commence
mo according to contract. October /, 1909. Cutting is now in prog
ress. There is some money due on options on stock OF the lumber COM
many dne to the fact that there have been many delays and dsap-
pointments in our efforts to have a railroad built to the outside
world.
eft o appears that the railroad from Warm Springs (near
Rod;el t. Coadale or Tonopah junction, will undoubtedly be built by
the Tonopah and Goldfeld Railroad company. For this reason we are
calling in the options on lumber company stoc asAins 'n '"'s ~
exercised or released.
con the 10th of November we made a proposition to the Tonopah
and Gold6eld railroad, to contract with them to deliver the tonnage
which we and control, provided they build a standard guage
railway from some point o. the Tonopah and Goldfeld railway to
Warm Springs junction, and add a third to our present narrow guage
+raoL from Warm Springs to our mill, on Mono lake above Bodle,
! distance Of about II miles, which proposition has been acted favor

REAL ESTATE EXPERT SAYS
BUY LAND IN NEVADA

/, to discuss the deal yesterday, but after
a few moments consultation with his
agent he consented to confirm the sale.
Morley is greatly elated over the
fact that the land he has purchased
in Nevada contains 5000 acres which
are suitable for the raising of celery.
This land is passed by both the South
ern Pacific and Western Pacific roads.
The plan of the purchaser is at once 70
put this land on the market in 100-acre
and smaller lots for prospective set
tiers.
Mr.. Morley is an enthusiast over fu-
ture values of farm lands. He says:
Buy any good land. even at a high
price-land will never be cheaper.
ssIn buying land be sure to purchase
it close to cheap transportation faci!-
tiles.

land will prove a more lucrative in
vestment than suburban property.

. A. CODD LOOKING AFTER
HIS w INTERESTS

RAWHIDE, Dec. 2O.--A. A. Codd, of
the Codd Mines company, who are OPP
Grating the st. Ives lease on the Queen
property, is in town for a few days,
looking after the interests of the com
pany. They have taken out a quantity
of ore from the lease and will have it
worked in one of the local mills. MI.
Codd states that they are not paying
much attention to the extraction of ore
from the lease, awaiting the better mill
ing facilities hoped for, but that they
are bending every effort to the sinking
of the shaft to the 5OO-foot level. At
that depth they will crosscut to the ore
body then, when that is reached, they
will be in a position for the exploitation
of the riches they anticipate. Mr.. Codd
states that they have every reason for
the belief that rich ore will reward their
efforts at that depth.

IMPORTANT new find
MADE AT LUCKY BOY

j. M. Fairfield received news from
Lucky Boy that an important strike
had just been made on the 50O-foot
level of the Alamo workings, on ground
adjoining that held by Mitchell and
Fairfield.
A round of shots fred by the shift
going off duty early this morning broke
out IL tons of the rich lead-silver ore
characteristic of the Lucky Boy dis
trict. While no assays had been made,
the nature of the ore showed that it
very rich. Work of proving up
the new vein will be prosecuted at
once. Mr.. Fairfeld's informant
stated that from present appearances,
the Alamo strike is as good as anything
that has heretofore been found in the
Lucky Boy district.
