DENIES VIOLATION OF LAW
Southern Pacific Files Answer In Sniff
to Separnte Il From Central PnciHc

racine tI1eH Answer In Suff
to Separate II From Central Pacific
Salt Lake City. Utah. April 3O.-The
southern Pacific Company filed to-day
i'll the United States District Court its
answer in the government suit to di-
yorce the Central Pacific from the
southern Pacific. The answer. after
specifically denying all allegations that
the sherman antitrust law has been
violated, points out not only that tho
two lines originally were built oper-
ated and developed as one road. but
that as far back as 1898 the United
states government itself practically
recognized the combination as whole
some.
1t asserts that in tho Joint operation
or these lines, through trains hav6
been run by the most direct or con-
Venient route without reference TO their,
ownership, and that any separation or
the control of the Pacific lines from
those of the Southern Pacific cannot
now be had without detriment to both
properties, and without impairing and
inconveniencing the public service and
the communities through which the
lines pass. -
After n brief historical resume of
the Joint activities of the two roads.
the answer sets forth that when the
government granted subsidy to the
Central Pacific 1t wac with the written
approval of the President of the United
States. That subsidy, the answer says,
was to be repaid to the government In

The sample brought into Tonopah

passed away as quickly as Il rose.

FOR NEW FINANCING

In reply to the inquiry of stock
holder who asks why new financing
is necessary for Alaska Gold Mines
company, the answer is made that 1t
is due to the enlargement of the
companys plans. This stockholder
says he was under the impression
when he purchased his stock that
the company was fully financed. The
answer to his inquiry follows;
"The management Of the Alaska
Gold Mines company, with funds now
IN hand. will bring the mine and mill
to the point of producing and treat
ing 5000 tons of ore per day, and
this should yield net profits equal to

STARTING PHONE
LINE BETWEEN
TONOPAH AND
ELY
COMPANY ORGANIZED AND FIRST
SHIPMENT OF POLES
RECEIVED.

The Ely Record, after recounting
the story printed in the Bonanza an
nouncing the intention to build a
telephone line between Tonopah and
Ely, adds that the work has already
begun and has advanced to the state
where poles are about to be erected
The Record states:
Anticipating the necessity for
telephone connection between Toho-
pah. Goldfeld and Bridgeport along
the southern route to California, c.
A. Walker, of Ely, recently organized
company for that purpose, which is
already in receipt of two carloads of
poles. which will be sufficient to com
plete the line to Lund. The proposed
line will follow the auto route to
Barnes ranch, and from that point
will be DETECTED to Preston and Lund,
and probably on down the valley to
Sunnyside, which will prove good
feeders for the line. The money is
pletion of the line outlined above.
which will probably be in operation
in a couple of months.
1T is the intent of the manage
ment of the company. by the assist
ance of residents of Currant Creek
and Duckwater, to extend the service
to Horizons ranch at Currant Creek
sixty miles from Ely, or almost one
third the distance from Ely to Tono-
pah. Should Tonopah, Goldneld and
Bridgeport desire to continue the line
no doubt satisfactory arrangements
could be made with the company for
connection at Horizons ranch.
which would give service along the
entire line
"The line would prove profitable to
shareholders as well as great CON
venience to the travelling public"
