FROM POLE TO POLE.

Dreams of a Pan-American railroad
the Antarctic Ocean are within meas
urable distance of realization. Last
week the rails were joined OF the
great longitudinal railway in Chile
from Iquique to Peurto Mont. This
line covers about 1850 miles. When
completed the road will extend from
the frontier of Peru to the Strait of
Magellan.
So far back as 1881 the idea was
mooted of railway joining the north
and south continents through Central
America, but practical railway men
secuted the scheme at the time as
visionary andi mpracticable. In 1890,
however, practical steps were taken
at an international conference to car
~ out the work, and steady progress
has been made since then, with the
result that the undertaking is now re-
garded not only as feasible but as a
financially sound proposition. During
the past four years the Pan-American
railway committee, interested in the
project. has received sympathetic sup
port from the International Bureau of
American Republics, as we'll as from
the State Department at Washington.
the several governments concerned
now recognizing the economic advan-
tages that must accrue from the sue
cess of the enterprise. Some of the
Latin republics have gone so far as
to offer special inducements to CAPT.
talists for the promotion of the Pan
American railway scheme.
One Of the chief aims Of the COM
mittee has been the joining of New
York and Buenos Ayres, total dis
lance of 10.116 miles. OF this, 6,444
miles of railroad have been completed.
The line just opened by Chile FORCES
an important link in the chain that
will one day unite the Hudson Bay to
the most southerly point on the South
American continent and bring into ex-
istence an Arctic-Antarctic railroad.
The romance of railroad construction
discloses few more interesting chap
tiers than those which will one day
recount the achievements of the engi-
neer in this last great struggle to an
initiate space and to link the ends
of the earth together.-Toronto Globe.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.

A double team driven by Cadets
Read Wipprecht and H. F. Tilson ran
away yesterday, giving the young men
an exciting thrill as well as a narrow
escape. The team ran from the south
end of Bryan street TO James drug
store, where the buggy struck a con.
crete post bringing the team to sud.
den stop. Read Wipprecht was thrown
from the buggy against a tree, but
sustained only few minor bruises.
Young Tilson stuck to the buggy and

MINERAL COUNTY COPPER NINE
OPERATOR MAKES VISIT
THERE

Frank ID. Qualey of San Francisco
and Mineral county, Nevada, where
he has proven one of the great cop
per deposits of the world, was a
visitor yesterday, after a trip to
Rochester, says the Humboldt Star.
AS a man of affairs and abreast with
events, Mr.. Qualey is an interesting
figure. He is a typical western min
er. He discussed his trip into Ro-
chester and other things, saying:
Rochester has a great showing
as a mineral section. In fact, devel-
opment in all directions is proving
the district more than a promise. 1t
has results to it's credit. The strong
evidence of good properties are what
is known as the Mcneil, Buck and
Charley. Packard. Forvilly-Roches-
ter, the Weavers and Original Ro-
chester. all shippers of profitable
ore. Besides these established prop
critics of merit there are numerous
prospects which show the earmarks
of making producers. AS a whole,
the district commends itself as one
of great merit with every prospect
of making a big producing district.
It's extensiveness and general evil
dence of distribution of values or
workable ore makes this reference
to Rochester district a conservative
statement. I am looking for a
largely improved copper condition
i'm the near future"

and is said to contain from 1000
to 1000 ounces of silver per ton,
says the Las Vegas Age. At any rate
it is beautiful to look at and the
figures sound good. The property is
said to have been a famous producer
in the past.

MANY ENTRIES
FOR STATE FAIR
ACCOMMODATIONS WILL BE TAX
ED FOR EXHIBITS OF Ne
VADA RESOURCES

w. ID. Phillips, secretary of the
Nevada State Fair association, is re-
ceiving increasing assurances of big
exhibits from the various counties of
the state at the fair, which opens
in Reno September 81, and he be-
lieves that m of the problems the
management will have to face, from
present indications, will be to find
plenty of DON for the exhibits that
will be shown, say the Reno Jour
nal. Additional entries are being
made every day in all lines, includ-
ing livestock, poultry, farm products,
horticulture, domestic science, etc.
A full car of exhibits will come
from Las Vegas, comprising the ex-
hibits of Clark county; the dry farm
at Elko will be well represented;
Lyon county is preparing for a big
show, and all the other counties of
the state are making ready to COM
pete in the display of of
the state.
The livestock show promises to be
IN DcSt cNSI SScu at d ANcNdud Stdtc
fair, and will doubtless prove a sur
prise to the public who are not fully
in touch with what the stock ra1sers
of the state are doing in the breed
ing of high grade horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs.
Numerous entries of poultry have
been sent in, which will demonstrate
the advance that is being made in
that line.
Practically all of the best horses
in the state and some from Califor-
mia will be seen in the harness and
running race events, which will be
one of the biggest features of the
fair. A large number of horses are
already in training at the track, and
others will come from Fallon, Yer
ington and other places.
Secretary Phillips expects to soon
have a complete list of all of these
entries, and is urging prompt action
ON the part of owners who have sig
nified their intention of making en-.
tries.
