Senator Maritime of New Jersey is ne.er more genial than when recalling scenes of his farm life. He had negro, Alexander, on his place, and Alexander, it appears. was given to philosophizing, a free use of real dictionary talk and claimed to be the mouthpiece of the clan of darkles in the vicinity.

Troup, who turned down preferred congress sional nomination few years ago. is practically pledged to return to the editorial desk of the Union when he gets through postmastering.

NEW POWER LINE BETWEEN
TONOPAH AND BELMONT.

F. B. Mechling, district superin-
tendent of the Nevada California
Power company, was In Tonopah re-
Gently in connection with the sign
ing of contracts for the construction
of the new power line between Tono-
pah and Belmont for the new milling
and mining company that will begin
operating in the old camp about the
first of the year, says the bonanza.
Charles Wyckoff, the contractor, VIII
first remove the old Desert power line
of the Tonopah Mining company be-
tween here and Millers. The ma
terial will be hauled out to Manhat-
tan and installed on the route to Bel
mont. The distance is about the
same. the new work involving IA
$40 miles.
The Millers line consists of No. =
hard drawn copper wire, which Is
better than any material in use to-
day. The line was installed in 1000
before the advent of hydro-electric
power in the southern country, and
juice was generated by steam at
Millers. The work was done in 1906,
but when the Nevada-California conf
pany entered the field 1t was learned
that the new company could offer a
much better rate and make money.
The original plans contemplated a
line capable of supplying all the
mines of Tonopah. Should Belmont
come to rank with this camp as a
producer the old copper line will en-
able the power company to serve the
northern camp with all the juice
which may be desired.
