BULLET" EXPRESS TO COAST

The Hartman system has made
public the fact that next Tuesday
morning they will start solid
express train from New York to
San Francisco. This train will
consist of seven cars and will
make the run from New York to
the Gldcn Gate in four nights and
three days. One car will be
entirely for San Francisco and the
other cars of the train will be
way cars. No passengers will be
carried at all. The BULLET" ex-
press will he the fastesl express
train in the world and will cover
the longest distance of any train in
existence.
The business from the cast to
the west so great that there can
be no doubt that the train will pay
from the start. On account Of the
fact that there is no express
handled in New York on Sunday
there will be no train leave there
on that day.
There will simply be six day
service from the east to the west.
Business will not justify a train
from San FRANCISCO to the east at
the present time Sparks Tribune.

PROSPECTING ON THE
NATIONAL FORESTS
NOT RESTRICTED

Contrary to the impression that
is apparently becoming current,
that prospecting on National
Forest lands is to be restricted by
the Forest Service, District
Forester Coert Dubois at San
Francisco has issued statement
that there is no intention of
changing the existing policy of
the Forest Service which en-
courages prospectors in every los
sible way. Permits for prospect
ing on National Forest lands never
have been and will not be required.
The Act of June 4. 1897, which
makes provision for the admin
stration of National Forests
specifically says that prospectors
shall not be prohibited from enter
ing upon National Forest lands
for the purpose of prospecting,
locating. or developing the mineral
resources therein.
Prospecting and mining 60 on
within the National Forst Just
the same as on public lands out
side. The prospector Is absolutely
free to travel about and explore
just as much as he pleases and
wherever he pleases, without
taking anyb"dy's permits sion.
When he strikes mineral he can
stake out, locate record and work
just as many claims as he thinl
are worth while percisely as
would on the public domain. Any
time he wants to get a patent for
his claims he can do so providing
the mining laws of the United
States have been compiled with.
The mineral as we'll as all other
resources of the National Forests
are for use. Within National
Forest the prospector and miner
are assured of timber when they
need it and as long as they need it
for the development of their
claims. Outside, the timber sup
ply is often doubtful. This is the
chief difference between prospect
ing inside an outside National
Forests.

STATE BANK CASE TO
Be ENDOWED SOON

Judge Eangan announced in the
District Court yesterday morning
in this city, that the probability
was that the Receivers suit in the
State Bank & Trust Co. would
come to an end by the end of
January. although there is, of
course, no certainty of that fact.
But with the finishing of the cross
exam nation and redirect question.
ing of Receiver Wildes the plain.
tiff in the action will rest its case.
This will probably not be a leng thy
operation as the questioning of
the receiver has been very exhaus-
tive to ate. How much time the
defendants will consume in pre-
senting their testimony is an un-
known quantity but it is the opinion
of the court that a month should
make fair cleanup OF the case.

THE MEETING OF THE BOARD

Next week the Al SCISSORS OF the
State wi ! meet to set the valuations
on the different corporation pro-
perties in this State.
Since the Board met last yea.
number of financial difficulties
have beset the State. A shortage
of funds to meet the expenses
was one condition that arose and
it still has tic State officials wor-
rieu as t o the outcome and the
way to meet the expense that will
have to be borne until the meet
ing of the legislature year away.
At the same time the Railroad
Commission, and Utility Commits
sion have been gathering data for
the emergency. This will all be
up, to them to regulate the matter
and look further into the assessable
values to all corporations.
Some time ago the Appeal called
Governor Oddie's attention to the
fact that by further enforcement
Of this assessment law thatmore
equal valuations could be had, the
State receive a better revenue and
the corporations be compelled to
pay on ther vast holding.
The earning capacity of the cor
poratiOns is in the hands of the
Railroad Commission. The body
stands ready with facts and figures
and Governor Odtie, as Chief of
the Board can do much to place
this matter in full review.
There has been a steady adj
vance made in the valuation rates
Of the railroads and other cor
por atoms by the members of the
Board during the past ten years.
1t is but reasonable to suppose that
further advance made in the
valuation rates Of the railroads and
other corporations by the members
Of the Board during the past ten
years: 1t is but reasonable to sup
pose that a further advance will
he made this coming meeting.
With the material at hand and the
reports 2'of previous meetings

this matter up and push il through
with q benefit to the State and
credit to his party. 1t is up to
the Governor in large measure.
