MAY SEND
TROOPS ACROSS
MEXICAN BORDER
GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS PLAN
TO PROTECT I4EVEE
ALONG COLORADO.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
question of the necessity of sending
United States troops across the
border line into Mexico to protect
the American dixie, which is being
completed along the Colorado river,
will be determined by the outcome
of negotiations now in progress be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo.
The two governments are ex-
changing notes in regard to the
protection of the engineering work
but officials are reticent as to
whether request has been made
for permission to send American
soldiers into Mexican territory. II
is understood that the suggestion
has been made that the workers or
the dixie be sworn in as deputies
to safeguard it from possible depre
dations.

Chief
SMITH SHOWS
HIS ABILITY
"NIAKES GOOD" DURING FLOOD
SEASON AND SAVES MUCH
PROPERTY LOSS.

Chief of Police Smith has within
the past few days shown the people
of Tonopah that he is always ION
the job" When the heavy winds
came along and started m citing
down the snow, Main street gave
promise of being one most beautiful
lake until Chief Smith and Assist
ant-Chief Walker got busy with pick
and shovel and cleaned out all
sewer crossings to such an extent
that the refuse water was carried
off without the least iota of prop
erty damage. Had it not been for
the timely effort on the part of
the police department it is more
than likely that property owners
along Main street would have been
great losers through the snow
floods. Chief Smith deserves a great
deal more credit than many citi
zens of Tonopah are willing to ac-
cord him.

PLANS TO ELEVATE
Line IN PORTLAND
SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL SPEND
$3,OOO,OOO TO SAVE RUN
MING TIME.

PORTLAND, March g. The
greatest railroad project ever un-
dertaken here is now occupying the
attention of the executive and en-
gineering forces of the Hartman
system in this territory. The pro-
ject is to elevate all the Southern
Pacific tracks. on the main line from
the south from the city limits to
the eastern approaches of the new
railroad bridge across the Will
lamette and will envolve an expend-
iture of not less than $3,000,000,
according to estimates. The South
ern Pacific at present runs over
more than forty streets which are
open to traffic, so that it is neces-
sary to have either safety gates or
other appliances to guard against
accident while the trains are
passing.
The distance to be covered by
the overhead crossing is about two
and one-haIf miles and includes
both industrial and manufacturing
districts, residence sections and re-
tail business districts. Double
tracking of the line over the ''L''
section is also contemplated in the
project. Aside from the advantage
of eliminating chances for accidents
the proposed betterment will mean
that the two and one-half miles oi
| distance between the heart of the
East Side which now has to be coy.
cred at snail pace by even the
limited trains, can be negotiated al
thrty-fve to fifty miles an hour
The saving of time on schedules
is therefore playing an importan1
part in the present deliberations.

FALSE ALARM CALLS
OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT

Sunday quietude was most rudely
broken yesterday by call on the
fire department from lady who
said: MY house, behind the Min
ers' hospital is on fire, come quick. >
The response was most characters
tic of the local fre-fghters. The
hitch and start were made in rec
ord time and the machinery which
scares fires to death was shortly on
its way. However, on arriving in
the neighborhood in which the fire
was supposed to exist it was dis
! covered that the cause of all the
excitement was false alarm.
Numerous citizens being on the
street on account of the day being
Sunday, wended their steps in the
wake of the department The horses
and members of the department en-,
joyed the exercise.

two or three fell to the bottom of
the shaft. This apparently would
indicate that seven or eight men
fell down the shaft, though but four
bodies were found in the sump.
R. E. Burke, brother of Frank
P. Burke, the dead shiftboss, gave
his brothers history and told Q
identification of the body.
Manager Bradshaw was recalled
to testify as to fire fighting on
Thursday. Water, he said, was sent
down the Desert Queen on the 100
level. Spray nozzles for water,
compressed air and a small blower
were used to clear the passages of
smoke ahd gas.
He also told of bulkheading op-
erations sand attempts to force a
way through to the 100 and 1166
levels. These tactics were contin-
ued Thursday, Thursday night and
a portion Of Friday. He told of go
ing down later with firemen with
chemical extinguishers, but these
proved uhavailing.
Later on Friday, Nordhal, Knight
and Collins of the Montana mine
forced their way through the smoke
to the 100 station and found the
eleven bodies.
The manager was followed by
Mike Tomich, station tender on the
1166 level who stated he worked
within few feet of the lumber
'pile which burned,
Asked what he did with his
candle while turning cars he stated
he stuck his candle stick in the
timber He asserted that he has ar
improvised candle holder made from
an oil can with a three-quarter incl
nut at its top. The witness stated
he always took the ends of candles
away with him. He also denied
that he ever put candle on the
timber, or that he ever saw any
'snuffs on the timbers.
He was examined closely by Mine
Inspector Ryan on the handling OF
powder and fuse but nothing OF
importance was elected.
i At the Saturday night session
several miners were called to the
witness stand and testified along
the lines of the previous testimony
gathered during the week.
