COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Life abounds with constant mercies. That we do not always see them does not invalidate this truth, no moro than does the fact that stars shine behind cold. gray clouds, as well as in the blue of midnight. It depends upon the point of perspective of the view. From the depths of a mine, one may look into the vault of the heavens at midday and see there shining stars.
 In human experience, it is not until darkness come upon us, and pain and sorrow, that we are conscious of 8 CO., mlngling of mercies and blessings, and are aware that with the deepest sorrow is given healing balm, and with keen est pain comes sweet relief.
 Life is full of sunshine. Now and then clouds roll upward and the sky is o'ercast, and there are hours when mutterings of thunder and flashes of the lightning of pain almost numb the heart, and the rain falls from the eyes in copious showers, yet it is but the dew upon the flower of human experience, causing to unfold in richer and grander beauty the harmonious wonders of the Divine plan.
 There are fountains of living waters springing up in every life. That so many stray into desert places is no fault of the Infinite, who showers mercies alike upon the just and the un- just. Rather is the fault our own. Nature craves sunlight and refreshing dew. We cultivate artificialities which lead us far astray and out of harmony with the divine plan; then when we ex- perience the pain of errors path we complain that heaven is unkind and God unjust.
 There is no cloud but has it's silver lining is truth passed into proverb. So likewise there is no pain but has healing balm, and no tear but is followed by smile. It is when we reach the limit of our feeble powers that the Divine guidance takes us in hand, and shapes our ways and ends of life, weaving into the wool and warp a harmony of color which brings out it's beauties in softer tints.
 Our hardest trials at times prove our richest blessings The diamond in nature is crude and rough, but when passed through the hands of the lapid- ary, polished and shaped, each facet is clear and distinct, thing of beauty, ad- ding completeness to the valued gem. So trials are sent us by Divine Wisdom to smooth our angularities and develope within us concealed beauties of charac- ter, disposition, charity, or kindness of heart.
 There are jewels untold if we but realize their value and appreciate the source from whence they come. In stead of thankfulness, many hearts are filed with ingratitude.
 People become morose and sullen and life takes on anything but a rosy hue. Life's lamp is shaded by the colored screen placed upon it and may glow with rosy light or be tinged a saffron hue, accordingly as we shade it to human thought or human act.
 Instead of grumbling and growing over our lot in life, let us strive to look upon it's brighter side, and view the beauty and value of the jeweled crowns scattered along life's path. Why leave the roses and gather the thorns when the choice is ours and the two grow side by side! Rare is the rose without its thorn, but the beauty of the one overbalances the sting of the other and it's perfume fills the air.

be erected a toll gate on the switch

and at that time a toll rate was
made. The Tonopah Mining and
Belmont companies have been pay

using this switch The original rate
was based on narrow gauge cars

to lay our personal reasons aside
and discuss the proposition from
business standpoint. l was Sc
lected to take charge of the rail-
road by my associates, in order to
put the line on paying basis and
to do this it is necessary that OPP
erations be conducted with the least
possible expenditure. The cost of
keeping the shops in Tonopah is
greater than the comparative cost
of maintaining them in Goldfield,
and it was with this view that the
directors decided on the southern
town.
Would not the present profit
derived from the freight consigned
to Tonopahs merchants more than
offset the increased cost of con-
Quoting the shops here, when COM
pared to the loss that would re-
suit in their removal?" was asked
Mr.. Cutter.
THAT would be a matter for the
people here to decide. The atti
tude of the railroad toward the peo
| pie of Tonopah is one of friendli
ness, and the future will show tha
| the welfare of this city is of ma
terial importance to the directors
of the road, all of whom are large
| ly interested in this district. But
as l have stated before, if tn,
Goldfield proposition is not settled
satisfactory, the matter will agail
go before the directors. While
am empowered to act on certail
matters, | do not wish to choose
site without comforting with m
associates
Mr.. Cutter spent yesterday il
looking after the affairs of the roa
and will leave this morning ac
companied by President R.
Parks, of the Belmont, for Los An
geles. After a short stay in tina
city they will continue on to Sa
Francisco before departing for tn
east. 1t is possible that Mr.. Park
will visit Tonopah before his re
turn to Philadelphia.

CASH REGISTERS
KEPT BUSY YESTERDAY

Most of the cash registers in To-
cal business houses were working
overtime yesterday. 1t was pay
day in the camp and those who
drew a check as evidence of their
energy during the past month were
paying up their bills-much to the
qualification of the local merchant.
But not everyone drew check.
The poor devil who did not get
work during the month, and could
not get it-and there were some of
this kind-was not as happy as the
other fellow. The check-drawing
habit is nice one to have, but not
everyone is addicted to 1t.

PRESIDENT CUTTER TALKS
ABOUT RAILROAD SHOPS
Unable to State What Action Will be
Taken on Failue of Goldfield to Com
ply With Agreement.

H. B. Cutter, president of the
Tonopah and Goldfield railroad, ar
rived in Tonopah yesterday in the
railroad company's private car 900.
Mr.. Cutter was met at Reno by
Superintendent Hanlin and the two
journeyed to this city together.
When asked concerning the pro-
posed railroad into Mono county,
Cal, President Cutter stated that
an engineering party would leave
Tonopah this morning to go over
the route.
'The party is headed by R. w
Cattermole of Minneapolis, who has
had considerable experience along
this line. 1t will probably take
from thirty to forty days to go over
the line properly, after which the
report will be submitted to me and
it should be before the directors OF
the railroad when this board meets
in March.
1t has been estimated that the
sroad will be about 65 miles in
length and should the engineers re
port be favorable, it is possible thai
operations will commence within 6
short time. The road will connec'
with the Tonopah and Goldfield line
at Tonopah junction, and will b.
a part of this line, not new com
pany as has been reported"
When asked concerning the flu
ture site of the railroad shops, Mr.
Cutter stated that this matter wa
now up to Goldfield.
THE people of Goldfield made
proposition to the company which
has been accepted subject to Ger
tain conditions. AS to the fulfill
ment of these conditions I know
nothing, and am not in a position
to state what action will be take
should the Goldfield parties fai
to keep to their word. PERSONAL!
/ would prefer to see the shops i
Tonopah, and this is the opinio
held by the rest of the board c
directors of the railroad. In cor
sidering the matter we were force
