RANCH PROJECT
ON VAST SCALE

Surveyor James II. Park has
returned from a point about 100
miles east of Goldfeld where the
kawich Cattle association, a rich
corporation, is making improve
ments with a view to stocking its
ranches and the surrounding range
with large herds Of cattle. John
Connolly, formerly with a local
lumber company, is manager of the
property and kid" Highley is
said to be largey interested in the
enterprise. Water for irrigation
and to supply the stock is being
developed in the Belted range.
where there are good springs.
Water is also found in good
qantity near the camp, at Cliff
Springs, where the water flows
from the face of a perpendicular
cliff of red granite, some 30 feet
above the base and a half mil q
long. The 20-foot seam now flows
about % barrels daily but the
supply ca be further developed
and 800 yards to the south is a
big gulch with walls 800 feet high,
in which there is a strong UNDER
flow of water and for a distance of
a mile or nor good indication of
a strong flow coming out Of the
pure red granite. Water has
been found here at three places
near the surface.
!. is estimated that the present
supply from this gulch is sufficient
for 500 head of cattle and that
the water can be piped down
economi cally. The company is
procuring Z inch pipe in Goldfeld
for this purpose, and il sufficient
water is developed will put large
herds on the range. There is an
immense territory of good ranges
available. sufficient, with ample
water, for 10. 900 head of cattle.
The country is full OF bunch grass
and rye grass, the latter growing
as nigh as a mans head.
Near Blotch springs and Chalk
springs, in the Chalk mountains,
the range is said to be particularly
good. Most of the land in this
part of the state extending from
the Kawich range across Nye
county to the line Of Lincoln, is
unsurveyed and is part of the
public domain. From GCldfeld
this country is reached in two and
one-half days travel by way of
the Cactus country to Kawich
and Cliff springs. The company
now has five men employed in dig
ging to further develop the water
.upply. -Goldfeld Tribune.

STORM DELAYS
RAILROAD WORK

The continued stormy weather
during the week is reported to
have caused almost an entire
CESSATION of reconstruction work
on the f. & p. The expected
establishent of a new reconstruc-
tion camp at the slough, about
eight miles below Eureka, early
this week, did not m%aterialize, but
the sever weather conditions were
no doubt the cause, and hardly any
n would expect a camp to be
changed during such a trying
period.
But cheer up, the camp is being
moved. The advance guard Of
the construction camp reached the
Slough and commenced putting
up tents yesterday, aud the balance
Of the outfit will no doubt be settled
and commence the work of throw
ing up the grade there within the
next few days-wind and weather
permitting.
A six animal team came into Eu-
reka yesterday afternoon from the
Slough for meat provisions and
water, and the men accompanying

mannei the rails, the marines
presented arms, the bandsmen on
the quarter deck played the
national anthem, while minut e
guns doomed a requiem.
Progress was necessarily slow.
Half an hour later the North
Carolina and Birmingham got
under way, followed by the Cuban
gunboats Hattuey, Yara. Enrique,
Villundasa and De Octubere. the
United States engineers steam
dredge Bernard, car ;ying all the
men who had worked on the Golfer
dam, a steamer with the Havana
camp Spanish American War
Veterans aboard. Commodore
Carb pnell's yacht. Gypsy with the
Havana chapter d. A. R, and a
fleet of tugs and chartered vessels.
Passing out of the harbor no
salutes we're fired, the f%iotllia
headed by the Mai ne proceeded in
silence with flags at halfmast.
The course Was almost due
north so as to keep the wreck
head-on to the heavy sea and thus
avoid the danger of falling into
the trough.
At 4:35 o'clock a three-whistle-
blast from the North Carolina
followed by one CUR, announced
that the three-mile line had been
crossed. Half an hour was given
laggards of the feet to arrive.
Then the American cruisers took
up q position 10 tie eastward of
the wreck, the Cuban warships
moved to the westward and the
accompanying vessels were grouped
to the north and south.
Meanwhile the wrecking crew
aboard the hulk had made ready
to carry out the arrangements for
the sinking which consisted of
opening valves in the
bottom, operated from the deck,
the large sluice-ways in the bulk
head and all the doors in the two
permanent bulkheads remaining in
the ship.
Precisely at 3 o'clock another
whistle sounded from the NORTH
Carolina and another gun was
fired. The crew threw open the
valves and with Captain O'Brien
aboard a tug along side, which
steamed a little distance away.
Then all eyes in the great fleet
were fixed on the wreck, the crews
of the w~arships lining the rails.
For ten minutes no change was
visible in the battered hulk, which
pitched heavily as the rollers
struck her. Then she was seen
to be sinking at the hulkhead and
soon the waves began to wash on err
her deck. The stern was seen to
rise and in a few seconds the hulk
was almost vertical, showing first
the propellers and then the full
keel. The next moment there war
a flash of blue and white, as the
ensign flying from the mast struck
the waves ard disappeared.
simultaneously the decks we're
blown up by the air pressure and
the old Maine plunged down,
leaving flowers on the surface of
the sea.
Whistle blasts from the whole
fleet was the nnlv salute.
Ten MINUTES later the Cuban
flag ship Hatuey fired a farewell
national salute to the squadron, to
which both cruisers replied, then
shaped their course for Norfolk.
Precisely twenty minutes elapsed
from the opening of the valves
until the vessel disappeared. The
depth where the Maine plunged is
estimated to be not less than 600
fathoms, and or account of this
and the velocity of the gulf
stream, it is believed that she did
not reach the bottom until carried
