WORK STARTED ON
ADAMS HILL MINES
New Company That Has Thirty
Claims Under Option Com
menced Operations Thursday

j. Q. Buchanan, one of the leading
stockholders in the company that is
being formed to take over and develop
a number Of mines on Adams Hill. ar
rived here from his home ct Spokane,
Wash, on Tuesday.
With R. O. Vanderford, who has been
in Eureka for several weeks engaged in
preparing a report Of the properties to
be taken over. Mr.. Buchanah immedi-
ately began preparations for commend
ing work. II has been decided to start
operations ON the Racine mine, and the
work of putting the 400 foot shaft on
that property in thorough repair was
commenced or Thursday. James Mann
of Ruby Hill has been engaged as mine
foreman. and three 8-hour shifts of men
will be kept steadily employed until the
shaft has been completed to the 400-foot
level.
Mr.. Vanderford, who is to be manager
of the oompany's work here, informs
the SENTINEL that while the plan Of de-
velopment work to be done had not yet
been decided upon, as soon as the shaft
work was completed to the 400 level,
drifting to the south under the Bowman
mine, and to the north under the Demo
Graf mine, would be commenced, and it
was intended to prosecute these opera
tions to the full capacity of the shaft for
taking care of the waste.
This company now has a group Of
some 80 odd mining claims on Adams
Hill-about 400 acres-under option,
and as some of its principal stockholders
are practical mining men, the pros
poets of a thorough development OF
the mines on Adams Hill at depth is
most promising.
A party of four or five stockholders
of the new company, who are coming
out to inspect the mines, are expected
to reach Palisade from the East the first
Of next week. AS George Whittell and
other officials of the Eureka and Pail.
SADIE Railroad Company are expected to
make q trip over the line to Eureka next
Tuesday, it is thought arrangements
will be made to bring the party of East
erners up from Palisade on Mr.. Whit.

AXE USED At CARSON
Members of State Police and
Others Are Taken Off the
State Payroll

A special to the Reno Gazette from
Carson under date of April / says:
A general economical surprise hap
pened this afternoon when after q JON
sultation with several heads Of depart
ments in State affairs, orders came to
reduce forces and trim up wherever
possible. The heaviest cut came in the
State Police. Six of the II members of
the State Police were cut from the pay
roll. Those retained are Captain Dom
nelly. Newguard, Capalan, Frave. and
CLARK. Those going are Stone. O'Brien.
Lacey. Amigo, Taylor and Buck.
It was further announced that Com.
missioner Norcross had discharged his
stenographer. The State Engineer let's
out one man and the State Bank Exami-
ner dispenses with his assistant. Most
of this reduction goes into effect to-day.
In the case of the State Police the seleo.
ton Of those retained was practically in
the hands of Captain Donnelly, who
made his selection on the basis of ef-
iciency and length of service.
In speaking of the matter Governor
OddIs said: This is along the lines OF
economy, such as promised and stated
to the Legislature. both at the regular
and extra sessions. The reductions
have been made hoping to bring about
a line of economy such as the State is
in need of. Personally. I am in hopes
that other reductions may be made. and
as in the above cases, I will use my en-
edavor to bring them about.
'This work has been under considera-
for some time. I realize that any dis
chargment of efficient State employees
is to be regretted. but at the present
time the State is in need Of strict
economy. On this line other depart
ments are looking into the matter and
every little helps. The above cuts rep
resent a saving of approximately 1890
per month to the State"

The 22-months old twin daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Siri of Diamond VAL

bitten by water snake four or five times
on the left arm below the elbow on Wed
nesday forenoon. She and her little
brother were playing in the yard, and
nothing was known of the injury to the
child until it came into the house crying,
with the snake coiled around its forearm.
Mr.. Siri was absent from the ranch,
and as soon as Mrs. Sri had removed
the snake from the chIld's arm she
called John Haley, who is working on
the ranch. to her assistance.
When he saw the snake was not q

commenced to swell, and he then

Of the arm made it very plain that

child's arm.
After giving the child this treatment,
a team was hastily hitched to a light

drive to Eureka with Mrs. Siri and her
twin children.
They arrived here about $3.50 D. m.
and at once sought DIR. Burnett's assist

FIRST TRAIN REACHES EUREKA
Arrived Here Unexpectedly Last
Sunday Afternoon, Coming
From Palisade In One Day

Eureka in over two years rolled
into the E. & p. depot here at
$40 O'Clock last Sunday after
noon. No announcement of its
coming was sent from Palisade,
and if the people on Ruby Hill
had not noticed it speeding across
Diamond Valley and over the
last portion OF the repair work at
the Slough, no one in Eureka
would have known of its ap-
proach until the whistle sounded
down the canyon.
When the engine was entering
the canyon about five miles be-
low Eureka, 1. q. Rogers Of Ruby
Hill notified the SENTINEL Office
over the phone, and the news
was given out at once.
Everybody was surprised, and
some doubted the report, for the
fall here of nearly two feet of
snow during the previous two
days had caused nearly every
one to believe that all construc-
ton work on the road would be
suspended until the weather con-
ditions improved. But down in
the valley where the last work
was being done there was only a
light fall of snow and the work
was continued until the last break
in the line was completed.
The streets of Eureka and the
road leading to the depot were
seas of slushy snow and mud that
afternoon and, with the exception
of Young America, only a few
braved the far from pleasant walk,
but the former journeyed down in
droves and gave the incoming
train a hearty welcome on its ar
rival.
Contractor Chadwick and engi-
neer Wallace started out of Pail
SADIE with IN engine, coach and
several loads of material Sunday
morning at 8 o'clock. Several
hot boxes and other troubles
caused considerable delay, but
after reaching Mineral Station
the train made good time and met
with few Interruptions. As the
water tank at Oak had not been
completed, they had to run from
Alpha to Eureka without re-
plenishing the engines water
supply and were forced to leave
the coach and several loads at
Oak. They brought up a couple
of loads of old ties to be used for
fuel in firing No. Z engine, and as
soon as their engine received a
fresh supply of water it was sent
back down the road to Alpha,
Messrs. Chadwick and Wallace
remaining in Eureka.
No. z engine, that has been
resting in the round house here
for two years, vas steamed up on
Monday and sent down the road
after the loads that had been left
at Oak. 1t returned with them
that evening and No. z was re-
ported to be 0 K.
On account of the grade work
done with frozen ground, the road
north of Blackburn is said to be
in a very unsettled condition.
Two gravel trains and a number
of men are now at work on that
portion of the road leveling up
and ballasting it, and when that
work is completed the road will
be in fair condition. From
Blackburn south andinto Eureka
the road is reported in pretty
