sized mp the situation in this way:
THE report that we were damaged to
the extent of $i4,0O0,0O0 by the food
waters is overdrawn. We suffered
heavily. but not nearly TO that extent.
Repairs, construction and betterments,
together with loss Of patronage sus'
tanned during the period of the break
may, however. run the total up to
something like that sum.
1.-THE story that we lost "a miles OF
track is also exaggerated. although q
good portion of the track is gone for q
distance Of 60 miles. In places it is in.
tact and can be replaced.
Trains are being nj from Salt Lake
to Acoma on the Nevada line and from
Las Vegas to the western terminus. but.
Of course, We cannot transfer across the
breaks and are making no attempt ia
move through traffic.
at is hard to say when traffic will be
resumed, as the weather is too bad In
that section at present to attempt re.
construction. We have had one report
on the damage and expect to send oul
two more engineering parties"

TO WORK BUT SIX DAYS
Inability of Railway to Handle
Tonnage Cuts Down Richmond
Eureka Production

Owing 20 the fact that the Eureka &
Palisade Railway has been unable to
handle its usual tonnage lately, the
Richmond. Eureka Company was forced
to close down its mines on Ruby Hill
Tuesday and Wednesday on account Of
an excessive accumulation of ore in its
bins.
Besides the cold and stormy weather
that has been playing havoc with the
engines and other equipment Of the
railway. the company is said to be ex-
periencing considerable trouble in
dumping the cars of ore into the chutes
at Palisade after making the trip from
Eureka. The ore being in Q moist con-
dition it freezes in transit, and IL be-
ONE necessary to loosen up the ore be.
fore it can be dumped into the chutes.
Supt. A. p. Mayberry had a meeting
with the employees of the Richmond
Eureka Company Tuesday afternoon to
discuss ways and means to keep the
usual number of men at work as are
now employed. but with a decrease in
the number of hours-that is. to work
but six days a week, laying of Sunday.
This was agreed to, as was the addi-
tional proposition that il the railway
company was unabl, to move the ton
mage sufficiently to keep the ore bins at
the mines clear. the company would
work the men but five days a week.
Work was resumed at the mines
Thursday morning with the usual NUN.
Der of men. During the two days lay
off the railway company moved about
400 tons Of ore. and it is hoped, with the
decreased number Of working hours at
the mines, the railway company will be
able to handle the output from now on.

HAY Selling For $3s Per Ton

Hay is now selling in the Eureka
market at $35 per ton, and very little is
to be had. The unusual demand for
feed for live stock during the past few
weeks, owing to the extreme cold
weather and snow. has practically de-
pleted the amoun of hay ordinarily on
hand at this season held by ranchers in
the north end OF Eureka County that
usually supply this market. A carload OF
hay was shipped in here this week from
Ogden, Utah. There is also a shortage
of grain at present in Eureka.

Buckhorn has the confidence of railroad
people as well as mining men.
Certainly the management of the Eu-
reka g. Palisade are doing all in their
power to get passengers and freight
over the road in good shape at this
time. and A. r. Randolph. assistant
superintendent. gives this matter his
personal attention. and to his personal
efforts the people Of Buckhorn are in.
debted for the prompt delivery OF
freight. He is a courteous and obliging
gentleman at all times.
The Eureka g. Palisade fully appreci-
ates the Importance of the present de-
velopment in Buckhorn, and we have
been assured by q very prominent Of.
fetal OF that road hat steel has been
ordered for the branch from Blackburn
to Buckhorn. and much additional new
equipment has also been ordered.
This branch will be II miles long and
work will commence within go days.
The business for Buckhorn has in.
creased SO rapidly within the past two
months that the Eureka & Palisade
finds it a business necessity to build
this branch and have determined to con-
struct it without any delay whatever.
In this connection it is proper to state
that a mining engineer, in the interest
of the railroad, recently visited this
field. and it is very probable that his re-
port had much to do with the building
of the Buckhorn branch.-The Nevada

DEAF MUTES COMPLAIN
OF USE OF PROFANITY
Their Criticism Of Moving Pictures
Needed and Rigid Censorship
Requested.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 12.-
Deaf mutes are complaining against the
use of profane and indecent expressions
by players In moving picture films and
will ask for a rigid censorship by the
manufacturers.
Mrs. Elmer E. Bates. for many years a
teacher Of the deaf and dumb, and an ex-
pert in the art Of lp-reading, declares
that these shows are the chief source Of
amusement for the deaf. and they are
prevented from enjoying them because
they are able to understand what is be-
ing said by the characters on the screens
Vile Language Employed.
Mrs. Bates made tour Of the down
town shows yesterday. accompanied by
a reporter, who wrote down the picture
talk, and at times the language was so
vile that she had to stop.
Mayor Bachr admits that the question
is too deep for him. but thinks it is a
matter to be adjusted by the Humane
Society. A. B. Williams, jr., of this Or
ganization, however, says it should be
taken up with the manufacturers of the
