WANT MORE FUNDS FOR
DEATH VALLEY RAILROAD

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
Death Valley Railroad company has
filed an application with the railroad
commission asking authority to issue
and sell 1876 of its authorized bonds
at price to net not less than $685.
745. The company also wishes to
sell $4,000 of its capital stock at
par The company proposes to use
the proceeds from the sale of its
bonds and stock to complete the con-
struction and equipment of its rail-
road in Death Valley. The commits
sion previously authorized an issue
of 47S bonds and $4,000 of capital
stock to provide 1891 ,01O.20, the or
iginal estimated cost of the road.
The present application states that
the funds previously secured have
proved insufficient on account of the
excessive cost of construction in
Death Valley.

Telegraph company announce sim
liar reduction of fifty per cent in
their telegraph rate from Manhattan,
making the rate from Rhyolite, Gold
field and Tonopah twenty-five cents

tinued and that the telephone com
pany charge the local rate to Tono-
pah in addition to the Postal rate be-
yond Tonopah However, kilograms
may be filed at the Manhattan office

FOREST RANGERS
COUNT SPEEDILY
MUST ESTIMATE SHEEP PASSING
IN PUNCHES AT 100 PER
MINUTE RATE.

How would you like to count few
thousand sheep passing through
narrow space, sometimes four deep,
at the rate Of about 100 sheep per
minute? This is one of the pleasant
duties OF the forest ranger in the
employ of Uncle Sans forestry serv-
ice, and the difficulties OF the task
are best understood by the average
westerner who knows the proclivi-
ties of the sheep when said animal
suspects foul play. 1t is also the
principal reason why Uncle Sam re
quires the "150-word-a-minute" test in
the examination for forest rangers.
When the time comes for letting
the bands Of sheep on to the forest
ranges the ranger selects narrow
defile. bridge OF other continuance
where the sheep will be required to
pass given point in as few numbers
as possible. The ranger attempts to
get the sheep down as near as pos
sible to single file, but when this
timid domestic animal thinks of ul-
terror motives on the part of the man
stationed at the gap, he acquires con-
siderable speed in passing.
Some rangers count the sheep sin
ely, but the experienced man usually
enumerates them in twos and threes.
1t has been found essential to point
out each individual animal with the
finger in order to get the best results.
and when the sheep attempt to crowd
by in punches, which is nearly al
ways the case, the counter uses both
legs and his free arm in addition to
pointing and counting two, five
eight, ten, fourteen" etc, until he at
tains a speed of more than 100 per
minute.
To attain still greater accuracy the
ranger must count heads, for the
backs OF so many animals become
confusing. Then there is one more
requirement in counting sheep fol
the ranges A band may contain sew
eral thousand sheep, and it is neces
sary to keep track Of the hundreds
for the ranger seldom counts in divi
sions of more than 100. For this
purpose he previously counts mum
Der of pebbles and holds them in hi
s"counting" hand AS 100 sheep arr
tolled OFF he drops a pebble from thu
hand into the pocket. Altogether tn
ranger when engaged in counting
range sheep is about the most activ
person in the world Also he is CRATE
full that the sheep-counting seaso
comes but once each year, usual
during June, but sometimes lastin

MINING CAMPS BUSY
FINDING NEW NAMES

AS interest grows in mining the
gazetteer increases in size and the
lexicologist witpesses the increase Of
words before his eyes, carrying with
them a self-evident meaning. Minins
has probably been the mother OF
more odd expressions than any other
industry and volumes of romance ana
history are carried in names such as
Stampede Gap, Whisky Flat, Dead
OK Peak, Devils Slide. Mustn't Touch
1t, Skull Valley, Dean Mans Butte
and scores of others Where mining
towns sprout like shoots on warm
spring morning, names are needed
for each particular spot, says the
Wall Street Journal
Among the latest mining camps TO
be named is one in Nevada, eight
miles from Jungo on the Western
Pacific railroad r. D. Maxfeld was
the discoverer. He located five
claims, naming them Wheatfiele,
Cornfeld. Grainheld, Barleyfeld and
Hayheld Hearing Of the new strike
w. J. Merryfeld, of Winnemucca
FASTENED to the expected Eldoradc
and leased the claims. With these
claims he organized the first com
pany and called it the Haystack Min
ing company. With that as a dis
tinctive point in the locality the little
mining town has been duly christen

ENGINEER ADVISES
OPENING TOLL ROAD
SCENIC ROUTE INTO YOSEMITE
FROM EAST, NOW IDLE, is
FAVORED FOR HIGHWAY.

The Tioga road. and that part of it
known as the Big Oak Flat road,
should be taken over by the state
and opened, thus affording an en-
trance to the Yosemite Valley from
the east, as well as opening one of
the most scenic highways in the state
to the tourist
This is the statement of E. Good
win, road engineer of the engineer
ing department of the state, who
has just returned from an extensive
trip extending from Placerville to
Mono Lake and across country.
The road was built by a mining
concern years ago, and became toll
road. For fifteen years little work
has been done on it, and ii has been
practically unused
The road combines the scenery of
the Yosemite with that Of Mono
Lake. 1t is tapped by the state high
way, fourteen miles west of Mono,
and is approximately sixty-five miles
long
The Tuolumne county supervisors
have made no effort to forfeit the
toll franchise. despite the fact that
no work has been done on the road
If opened this road would give Ne
vada an entrance to Yosemite, and
would make the third feasible route
into the valley.
Goodwin says he found the roads
in good condition, and very little
snow is on the mountains in the
southern section. Sacramento Bee.
