NEW ROAD IN

Broad Gauge From Mojave
Reaches Fertile

The first long, loud whistle of a
real railroad train was heard in Ow
ems Valley last Sunday 1t signaled
the completion of the broad gauge
road from Los Angeles into the val
ley; 1t also signiied the inevitable
passing OF lnyo's sagcbru>h era and
the dawn of modern development.
The road from the south is com
pleted as far as blanche, the first sta
ton properly located within Owens

last lap OF this project to be finished
before rail shall meet rail-the join
ing OF the standard gauge with the
narrow ribbons of rust that have
done service As a railroad between
kecler and Mina--at Owenyo. This
last Jap OF the road will be completed
this summer.
Regular train schedule ha, been
established as far as blanche. South
bound passenger trains leave every
morning at 6 o'clock In the after
noon the train from Mojave arrives.
Autos then carry passengers to Ow-

GOING TO THE

Electric Power People Depart
For Investigation Trip
South of This Valley

| Manager Campbell and party OF
friends interested in electric Dover
departed this morning in an auto
driven by Hal Lennon for points
south Of here where the company ha.
large holdings electrically. The start
ing OF the new power plant in Mono
County is evidently stirring up inter

The California Nevada Power Co.
which now owns all of the power in
TINS section OF Nevada, and who have
taken up practically all OF the big
power sites in Western Nevada, have
some big plans ahead. They are be
ginning to realize that the present
plants along the Truckec River will
not furnish the amount OF electricity
necessary for their demands. con,e-
quently the trips south and the ac-
quiring of additional power site, on
the Carson and Walker Rivers.

PROSPECTS
Prominent Mining Man Goes
Over Territory in
This Section

w. Nj. Claypool a prominent min
ing engineer OF Arizona and other
sections. has been spending several
days in this section looking over
some OF the promising prospects
that have been opened up during the
past year. While he makes no state
ment regarding the outcome OF his
investigation, yet he carried away a
large bunch OF samples which will
probably be heard from later.
The gentleman has had large ex-
perience in mining matters and ad
mits rhat this section has some good
showings. He expects t" devote
considerable time to Nevada as this
state has the eye OF the mining world
on it, He predicts some great do
ings for the old state as every sec
ton that he has visited has some
splendid showings and new prospects
being opened up every day. 1t Is a
hard matter for the mining man to
keep in touch with all of the new
camps, as they are being discovered
and brought to the front with 4 rap
idity that is beyond any one man
who is following the game.
Mr.. Claypool left for Reno no the
morning train. 1t is likely that tins
section will see him here again in the
near future.

Professor J. E. Spur to 20 Over
Camp He Turned
Down

, }. l.. Spur, the we'll known Reolo
glst' has been engaged to pay Tono-
pah another visit and spend some
time in examining several of the
mines, paying special attention to the
geological conditions, the expenses
to be borne by the various mining
companies of Tonopah. In 1905 .O6
Mr.. Spur made an examination OF
the district for the United States
Government, which resulted in the
publishing OF an elaborate report on
the geology Of the district, and
which was quite pessimistic in its
tone. Since this report was issued
ana enormous amount of work has
been done by several OF the mining
companies, with the result that the
conclusions drawn by Mr.. Spur have
been shown to be erroneous to such
Il degree that it is said the eminent
gcOlOgist is more than anxious to go
over the ground again. In justice to
the lime he made his examination of
the district the development and
prospecting work was in its infancy.
and that the progress made under
ground was SO limited that the most
of his report was made up from con-
clusions drawn instead of from act
,lal conditions as they existed.
With the enormous amount OF un-
derground work now done, it is the
concensus of opinion that report
now made by MIR. Spur will be en-
tirely different from the first report,
and aside from being material aid
to future operations, will place the
Tonopah mines in far more favor
able light. Mr. Spur is now engag-
ed in an examination of the Tono-
pah Mining Company's property

BUILDINGS ON AVENUE.
House and Senate Conferees Elk.
pected to Reach Agreement,

1t is not expected that there will be any
serious disagreement between the Senate
and House cOnferees with respect to the
bill to regulate the height OF buildings in
the District Of Columbia. Those who are
familiar with the embryo legislation in
question are confident that the Senate
will recede from its amendment to per-
nit buildings on Pennsylvania avenue
between 18th and 18th streets, to be con-
structed to height Of 100 feet, thirty
feet higherf than is now permitted by
law. In place Of this 1t is believed that
an amendment will be agreed to. permit
ting all buildings on the north side of
Pennsylvania avenue to be constructed
up to this limit of height.
The conferees on the bill have received
a petition, signed by practically all of
the prominent business men on the north
side of Pennsylvania avenue In the To-
cality in question, urging that the Avenue
be not disseminated against. and that the
law be changed SO that anywhere ON the
north side OF the Avenue buildings may
be erected to the limit OF height in ques-
ton. The conferees will probably decide
the matter next week.
