TONOPAH AND TIDEWATER
RUNNING EXTRA LINES

Additional lines are being run by
surveyors for the Tonopah an |
Tidewater railroad route for the
proposed Goldfield-Ely road than
the new one already located.
That. according to w. r. Albe.'-
ger. traffic manager of the road, is
the reason why construction work
has not begun on the new road.
Whether the Western Pacific will
use the Goldfield-Ely line and the
Tonopah and Tidewater to reach
Los Angeles, is not decided, ac-
cording to Mr.. Alberger. There
have been rumors for months that
this will be done eventually. M
Alberger asserts that the new line
is to be built primarily to develop
large mining territory now en-
tirely without railroad facilities
and If the Gould interests wish
to utilize it to reach Los Angeles
that use will be secondary to th'
primary purpose for its construc

claims that SIS million could be add
ed to the revenue of the county if the
legal penalty should be added.

plain just how he got away until he
told the story of his escape to the
sheriff when rearrested in New York.
He said that he had been a favortte
with the keepers because they enjoyed
his ready wit and he often entertained
them with parlor magic and sleight of
hand tricks.
On the day of his escape, he said, he
got into conversation with one Of the
keepers and offered to show the man a
lew trick. While the keeper was watch

tary cell and the keepers will not be

THEY ARE OUT OF DATE.
Three Cruisers Are on Their Way to
the Junk Heap.

Philadelphia, Aug. "A naval
board headed by Rear Admiral
Thomas today began the task at the
local navy yard of passing on the fate
of three cruisers which but a few
years ago, were the undisputed lead
ers in their classes.
The vessels are the armored cruis-
ers Brooklyn and the protected Col
umbia and Minneapolis, built as the
commerce destroyers of the navy.
The three cost more than $8,500,0 o0
exclusive of their armament. The
Columbia and Minneapolis, in the opin-
ion of the officers at the yard, are
most in danger of being consigned to
the junk pile.
The Brooklyn, Admiral Schleys
flagship in the Spanish American war
and the vessel which played a very
active part at the battle of Santiago,
is in better shape and is more likely to
be ordered overhauled and modern
