NORTH END ROAD MATTERS
commissioner Fraser Reports Re-

Western Pacific Co.

Commissioner Alex Fraser retnrned
Thursday from his visit to Palisade in
connection with road matters and other
county affairs in that section that need.

satisfactory arrangements with the
western Pacific Rail Company in

canyon. which is now a very danger.
Gus piece Of road, aud also in regard 10
a piece OF road Immediately east of
beowawe, which crosses the Western
Pacific Railway five times aud has that
many gates.
The Western Pacific agrees 20 pay the
County a lump sum for the oondemna-
ton and abandonment Of said pieces Of
road and to compensate the County for
the building Of new pieces of road
which 1t is thought will be far better
and safer than the roads to be abandon.
ID. IL also agrees to build an additional
10 feet OF fence to the present fence
over the western portal OF the tunnel at
Palisade.
Commissioned Fraser took this matter
up with the Western Pacific officials on
q recent visit to San Francisco, when
he was ~subpenaed to appear before the
Supreme Court In the Eureka County
Bank case in September. The railway
officials treated Commissioner Fraser
with every consideration aud kindness
on both occasions. and showed a will.

Of the Commissioners and people OF
Eureka County in every way.
The Commissioner held an informal
meeting Friday afternoon and discussed
various matters in regard to roads and
bridges in the north end of the County
which require immediate attention.
A petition was read signed by a large
majority of the citizsns and taxpayers
OF Palisade and Beowawe, requesting
the Commissioners to take immediate
steps to build and repair an old piece of
road through Williams canyon. about

Using New County Road

The new road about two aud a half
miles south Of Palisade, recently con.
tracted to Joseph Flynn by the County
Commissioners, is about completed and
is reported to be an excellent piece of
road work. Commissioner Fraser and
A, r. Randolph, who surveyed and
laid out the road, aud several others.
went over the road last Sunday. Mr..
Randolph checked up the work done on
the road by the specifications, and it
was agreed that Mr.. Flynn had done
much more work than was required of
him by the specifications. Mr.. Flynn
stated that he would put in another
week cutting off some points and max
ing turnouts for teams and finish up
ths work in general; stating that when
the work was ready for approval if any
thing further was desired he was will
ing to do anything that was reasonable.
Teams have been using the new road
for the past week.

CHANCE TO GROW RICH
Big Fortune Said to Await In
vestment In Cat and Rat
Ranch in California

Marysville. California, October "a
One of the most remarkable PROPOSE
tions along commercial Advancement
which has yet come before the Marys-
vile Chamber of Commerce was sub
mitted by Captain j. Rupert Foster. an
enthusiastic member, at "a meeting Of
the body held last night. Captain
Foster did not lay claim to being the
originator of the plan, but had the Sec
rotary read a letter showing hat he
derived his inspiration from q Sacra-
ment promoter. The letter is self ex.
planatory and reads as folio VS.:
"Mr. J.. R. Foster: Knowing hat
you take a great interest in the devel-
opment of all werthy enterprises, /
herewith submit to you one that l have
every faith to indorse. 1t is pertaining
to the fur industry. l know you will
take a lively interest and no doubt wire
me the amount of stock that you wish
TO subscribe toward the formation Of
this company. The object of the COM
pany is to operate a large cat ranch,
in or neal Stockton, where land can be
purchased cheap for this purpose.
ITO start in with we will collect about,
say, 100. 900 cats. Each cat will av-
erage IL kittens a year. The skins run
from 10 cents for the white ones to rs
cents for pure black ones. This average
of 80 cents apiece will make our income
about $4,000 a day gross. A man can
skin 90 cats per day for 81; it will take
a hundred men to operate the ranch.
and therefore the net profit will hui
be about s98o0 a day.
"We will feed the cats on rats. and
will start a rat ranch next door. The rats
multiply four times as fast as cats, so
if we start with 1000. 900 rats We will
have therefore four rats per day for
zach cat, which is plenty. Now. then,
we will feed the rats on the carcasses
of the cats. from which the skins have
been taken, giving each rat one-fourth
of q cat. IL will therefore be seen
that the business will be self-acting
and automatic all the way through.
The cats will eat the rats and the rats
will eat the cats and we get the skins"

Silver Advancing

Salt Lake Telegram Oct. 30: Silver
metal was marked up to 542s cents an
ounce this morning, aud with a gain Of
over 2 cents an ounce within just a few
days time a number Of inquiries have
been made as to the cause. The report
from London. which is the center of
the white metal market of the world. is
to the effect that the supply Of the
metal is short, aud extensive buying for
India and China is the aus for the
sudden advance in price.
The last time that the metal sold up
to "a cents was April 81, 1911. The
highest point of the year was on Jan
uary ID. when it sold for 541a cents.
Since these dates it has been below so

Telephone Service Again Working

S. q. Dye, agent OF the f. Il Z. in
Eureka, struck u Wednesday and
headed for Palisade with blood in his
eye. The telephone or telegraph line
between Eureka and the latter place
has been doing everything but giving
good service for several months, and
numerous attempts to fiud the leak and
repair the line have met with little
success, so S. G. finally made up his
mind to have a try at 1t himself and
struck out down the line with a deter
mination to get service or quit trying to
do a forwarding business in Eureka.
As Mrs. Dye yesterday reported the
telephone line working through 10
Palisade and giving good service, Mr.
Dye evidently found the leak.

In charge Of the aff airs Of the Farmers
Mining Company. finished the clean-u up
of the trial run recently made BY the
company's new mill the latter part of
last week and shipped the precipi,ates
obtained to Salt Lake City for reduc-
ton. He was greatly pleased with the
result-a little over $3O00-which was
between 500 and $500 more than it had
been estimated would be obtained. He
finished putting the plant in shape for
the Winter shutdown on Tuesday and
came into town that evening.
Mr.. Cooper stated that the company
would probably do considerable develop
ment work in the Silver Conner mine
during the Winter, aud several changes
we're contemplated in the milling plant.
These and other matters would be acted
upon at an early meeting of directors Of
the company. but pending the action Of
the directors no work at the mine or
mill would be done.
Mr.. Cooper left for Salt Lake Wed.

Eureka in about a month with the plan
OF new work the company would take
up during the Winter months.

reka & Palisade Railroad. When Com
missioner Alex Fraser returned from
Palisade Thursday he was interviewed
particularly on that subject, it being
hoped that he had succeeded in learn

would partly allay the suspense the
people of Eureka County have been
wrestling with for so many months,
but Mr.. Fraser said he had been unable
TO learn anything at all bearing on this
matter; that the people there seemed TO
have made up their minds that nothing
would be heard or done towards rebuild

Philadelphia Athletics Successfully Hit
Mathewson and Won Fourth Game

Shibe Park. Philadelphia, Oct. "a =
In the fourth game of the worlds
championship series. which had been
postponed for five times, the Athletics
to-day defeated the New York Giants
by the score of 4 to 2. The American
league champions outplayed their OPP
ponents on all points of the game.
They hit Mathewson harder than he
had ever been batted in a worlds
championship game, aud hits came
when they meant runs. Bender, ON
the other hand, pitched a steady, eff
~fective game throughout, and in no in
ming except the first, were the
Giants able to bunch their hits. In
the opening inning the visitors scored
their only runs on a single, q triple and
an octield but. After this inning they
gathered five hits.
The local team started on Matbewson
in the second inning when Murphy and
Barry singled. The Waterloo came in

outs netted three runs. This seemed to
unnerve the wonderful Mathewson and
he was not the game steady. deceptive
twirler that the Athletics have battled
against in other games. Mathewson
retired in the eighth inning to allow
Becker TO bat for him and Wiltse finish
ed the game with one hit being scored
against him.

the total cash taken in was $40,957.

IMPORTANCE OF LITTLE MILLS
Many Small Plants Now Being
Operated in Mining Camps
of the West

Salt Lake Mining Review: In glanc.
ing over u exchanges il is pleasing to
note the large number Of small milling
plants being installed and operated in
many parts Of the mining camps of the
Western States. A few years ago it
seemed to be the general opinion and
belief that there was but little use in
mill installation unless large and cost
ly plant was built; and these, as a gen.
eral thing, were erected for the treat
ment Of ores from mines which were
but little more than prospects,; the
result being that many failures were
recorded. Now. however, common
sense is gaining in ascendancy, and
companies owning small mines, claim
owners who have a small tonnage of
good ore in sight, are beginning to
realize the fact that the way to build
up is to begin in a small way. at the
bottom. and. with a small reduction
plant in operation, lay the foundation
for greater things.
There are many cases where owners
OF good Titles mines, of promising pros.
poets with favorable ore showings, have
been unable to interest capital in mine
development and mill equipment, and
who have almost lost hope of receiving
assistance from men of wealth and
In a number Of cases. how

the fact that they, themselves, are in

critics will justify, they will put in
larger reduction plants until, at last,
they will have attained a position in
keeping with their original ideas of
the kind of a plant a producing mine
should have.
A dozen little mills, in successful
operation in any district, are Of more
importance and value to the district
than is one big plant that has proven a
failure. These little mills, grinding
the yellow metal, or producing a
profitable grade of concentrates. have
a most stimulating effect upon the min
ing industry. They mean ready money
and encourage others to follow success
full example. They mean that a small
property, with a small mill, can be prof
itably operated whereas, without the
mill. it would be practically worthless.

During all his busy work in the min

who personally took Mackay through

DIRECT FROM HEADQUARTERS
In many communities the Christian
Science fad has taken what might be
termed "a strange hold" on a number
of Jews advanced thinkers so-called).
These have attempted to bolster the
tottering strength Of their Judaism
with an admixture of the very Oldest
and at the same time very newest
brand of Christianity, naught modi-
fed, naught omitted Many of the doc
trines which have been discarded by
Universalist, Congregationalist and
Unitarian must be subscribed to by
the Christian Scientist His creed holds
fast to the yicarous atonement, to a
kind in every jot and title; Immacu-
late Conception, Annunciatlon, PerSe-
cution, Crucifxion Resurrection and
Ascension Of Jesus. The recent action
OF the l. o. B. b. Lodge to exclude all
Christian Science Jews as having nee
cssarily adjured Judaism will cause
many others to think twice before
flirting too seriously with the fad. For
the benefit of those who may be tempt
