VISITS IONOPAH ON
ANNUAL TRIP
STATES THAT NEW RAILROAD
THROUGH NEVADA WILL
BE BUILT.

Christian B. Zabriskie, one of the
most prominent mining men of New
York, who has wide interests in
this state, and who resided here
over twenty years ago, arrived yes
terday on his annual trip of in
spection. Mr.. Zabriskie, who has been
in the habit of paying yearly Wis
its to southern Nevada, was forced
to forego that pleasuse last year
owing to illness, and to make up
the loss contemplates returning
within the present year.
Mr.. Zabriskie is associated with
Borax Smith in many of the lat
ter's enterprises, among them being
the Ely-Goldfield railroad project.
When asked concerning the latest
developments in the proposed route
he said that it was an assured fact
that the. line would be built.
However" said Mr.. Zabriskie,
1.-The line may not enter Ely. The
actions of the people of that camp
have forced a temporary suspension
in negotiations and the hackers OF
the project are considering another
outlet on the east end. with the ui-
innate idea OF making the road q
transcontinental affair by connect
ing at Salt Lake. We will know
definitely within six months about
the eastern terminus"
Mr.. Zabriskie is heavily interestet
in the West End property, ant
last evening was one of a party
that spent several hours inspecting
the underground workings. He wa!
highly enthusiastic when he hat
completed the trip.
''The West End has always il
my mind been one of the bes
mines in the camp. We hav,
invested our money in the prop
erty with the thought that TIL
profits would come from the ore
extracted, and we are still of thi
opinion 1t is not a stock manip
Mating company for we care nothin
about that end of the affairs. TIL
trip tonight has demonstrated to m
entire satisfaction that the tim
will not be far distant when re
turns can be looked for. The OF
Grafton of the property lies who
ly within the hands of Gener;
Manager S. H. Brady, and as tn
people of Tonopah are acquainte
= with his policies, you can figure OF
how the work will be carried on.
Mr.. Zabriskie leaves this mornin
for Los Angeles. He will trav'
over the Tonopah and Tidewat
line for the purpose of inspectin
that route, after which he will jo'

FACTORY BUILDING MOVED
FROM TOWN OF EADS

Windsor, April 12.--The factory
at Scott's Bluff has a most unusual
history. The building was moved
bodily from Eads. Neb., to Scott's
Bluff this year. 1t is probably the
only factory on record that was ever
moved in this fashion. Not only the
machinery but the very framework
of the building was transported to
the new site. Within the past few
years the Scott's Bluff country has
become a prosperous agricultural
district, and great country for
sugar beets.
The farmers are very progressive
and urged the location Of factory
at that place. Meanwhile things
had gone from bad to worse for the
sugar company at Eads. until 1t was
said the factory was no longer pay
ing proposition. The farmers got
together at Scott's BLUM and pre-
vailed ND0A the company to locate

Several thousands more sheep
will be brought into Weld county
for feeding purposes this year than
were ever seen ranging In this part
of the country before. 1t is the
avowed intention OF the Las Animas
stock company to bring sheep to this
county in the fall. 1t is said that
the sheep of this company have never
been troubled with scabies. But
there are other companies from ""+"
Utah and wyoming which propose to
bring sheep into this county this v"""
not to speak of several large own
ers of stock in the southern part of
the State.
For the past few years there has
been more or less trouble on the
omen range in Larimer county be-
tween the sheep and cattle men but
weld county has been almost en-
tirely free from any difficulties of
that description.
From expressions of various
sheep men who have been informed
of this move to bring infected sheep
into this county. however, there ap-

pears to be no doubt but that steps
will be taken to attempt to keep
them out.
1t is said that the ranges of Weld
county are among ~"
west so far as freedom from disease
is concerned and it is the intention
of the stock owners here to keep
them so, if that be possible.
Said one sheep man In speaking
of this contingency: The stock
men of this county will protect their
rights against any invasion which
may be contemplated either by the
stockmen of this state or of any
other states. Just about the time
the county is rid of disease someone
from foreign territory runs in lot
of infected sheep and the result Is
that the county gets name 1t does
not deserve.
Besides this, the more important
consideration Is the fact that we do
not want the range here to get the
reputation about the country a. be-
ing one where disease is prevalent.
Hence We must take precautions.

where About County While
Officials Search

There now appears to be no doubt
but that Jesus Vegus, the Mexican
alleged thief. who escaped from the
pest house at an early hour Mon
day morning, was assisted by some
one to get rid of the foot shackles
which bound him and 1t is to dis
cover this accomplice that the au-
thorities are looking at this time.
Vegus was placed in leg irons by
Sheriff Florance and there is said to
have been no possibility Of the Mexi-
can freeing himself from the irons.
1t is said that he was given aid by
someone in or about the pest house.
Vegus is believed to be facing a
term in the penitentiary If he is cap
tured and yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Peterson secured the county on his
motorcycle in an effort to find trace
of the fellow.
He is suffering from small pox at
this time and it is the fear that he
will spread the disease about the
county which has made the officials
of the sheriff's office doubly active
in their work Of running him down.
