suit is going to do injury for a time to this state. This litigation
will hold back improvements and extensions that have been plan

taken from it, and especially when it is proposed, according to the

Will Deliver the Goods

Goldfed has been in the public eye more than usual of late. Men
of the stamp of Governor Tasker L. Odde, a pioneer mine operator
of Nevada, and NJ. B. Cutter, president of the Tonopah and Goldhed
railroad, who, with his associates, is largely interested in southern Ne
vada mining properties, have been here within the past few weeks, and
while here and after going away have expressed themselves III the
strongest. terms a to the future of Goldfad IS a mining camp. Also
the state press, sensing the new conditions prevailing in the great gold
camp, has been generous in its expressions of good will. These kind
words of fnendlness ar appreciated by the people of Gold
feld-the men and women who came here early and are still here, hned
with an abiding faith in the camps future.
Upon the occasion of his recent visit of inspection to Goldheld the
Tribune printed an interview with President Cutter, of the Tonopah
and Goldheld road, in which he gave uterance to pleasing sentiments
of optimism in regard to this camp. After leaving here MIR. Cutter was
interviewed by the Reno Gazette and among other things said:
The people of Goldheld are extremely optimistic and they have
a right to be so. The business men as well as those owning and
directing mines are confident of the future and am embued with
their optimism. Depth there IS at Tonopah will produce great
things. am certain that the limitations of the Ore zone OF Gold
field district will not be established for many years.
AS to the Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad, we are considering
will be built whenever prospective traffic juNihes. The road is
not by any means being operated on the Wall street plan, but is out
after business and is in the field to create business.
All Nevada looks good to m and am particularly pleased to
note the new conditions in the Nevada Wonder, a property which
1 will visit tomorrow. Nevada has a prospect for 1914 and 1915
a well as the years to come which should not be "shorted.'
AT the recent meeting of the Nevada Press Association at Reno,
Editor Booth of the Tonopah Bonanza, himself hailed as a dyedin-the-
wool booster, awarded the palm for that particular class OF work to the
people of Godfeld. This moved the Carson News to say: 1--WE were
glad to hear the statement and know that Booth meant every word of
it. The Goldfeld way was the motto which was known throughout
the state a few short years ago, and is one which will never be for
gotten and we hope that the people of Godheld will always hold it
as their own and that some day it will come into power, greater, stronger
than before"
Such expressions sound good to the people of Godfeld and it can
be stated right now that nothing will be left undone by the residents of
this camp IN a n effort to deliver the goods.

CAPTAIN PETER CURTZ
MAKES BIG CLAIMS

Captain Peter Curtz arrived last
evening from Markleville en- route to
San Francisco to meet representa-
tives of New York and Boston capt.
talists to arrange an agreement for
the starting of operations on a
gigantic scale on what is reputed to
be n of the best mining properties
in the west.
The captain, who is 70 years, and
looks less than so, is no novice at
the mining game. Arriving in Vir-
ginia City in 1860 from the Cali
fornia excitement he has followed
the pursuit OF mining to the present
day. Over five years ago he acquir-
ed the mining property, located
about seven miles north of Markle-
vile, in Alpine county, which was
controlled by al English corporation
that in the early days hauled the ore
by wagon over the mountain to the
railroad, where it was shipped to
swansea, Wales. Assured that he had
secured a big mine he quietly started
to develop it's resources, blocking out
thousands of tons of commercial ore
until early last year, when he erected
a testing mill and concentration to
ascertain the best method for redu-
cling h ores of the mineralized acre
age. After exhaustive tests he as
certained it would be necessary to
smelt the low grade ores, but con-
tinued to pound out bullion from the
large tonnage of high grade until
winter months. Captain Curtz has
kept twenty men at work Develop
ing the big bodies % ores thu. had
oeen previously encountered. Car
son Appeal.

Another BLoU at the West

In the face of protests made by civic and commercial bodies repre-
sentng practically all the business interests of the Pacific coast, incud-
ing Nevada, that great and good patriot who did his best to save two
white slavers from the penitentiary-Atorn General McReynods-
has filed at Salt Lake City the government suit to dissolve the relations
existing between the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific railroads.
Alleging that the Southern Pacific control and operation of the Cen
trail Pacific constitutes a violation of the Sherman antitrust law, Nc
Reynolds the other day filed a suit asking for a complete dissolution of
all relations alleged to be existing between these roads. The govern
ment also seeks to enjoin the Southern Pacific from voting Central Pa
cmc stock or deriving any profit from that line pending disposition OF
the suit, and asks that the Central Pacific be onJoned from recognizing
te Southern Pacific control. SO much for the suit!
California and Nevada can see in this action of the attorney gen
eral of the United States only another blow at their industries and their
material prosperity. Hard hit by the new tariff regulations, they now
face another situation equally as bad. The California viewpoint is in
dictated in the following editorial excerpt from the Sacramento Union
1t will hardly be contended that the people of California are
disposed to favor the Southern Pacific, and yet a score o more
of chambers of commerce and business associations have passed
resolutions urging that the proposed dissolution suit be not pressed
The California state railroad commission blocked the original plan
to force the separation of these two systems N the ground that
they are really one road. Certainly the commission has given ample
evidence of independence of the railroad and loyalty to the peoples
interests. The San Francisco chamber of commerce in the resou-
tons it passed dealing with this subject pointed out that both the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads re held under lease
by the Southern Pacific company and have been since 1885.
The various extensions, no matter under what name they were
built, have been leased to the parent company and all have been
operated as one system. The resolution pointed out that the union
of the Central and Southern Pacific railroads is not an illegal COM
bination in restraint of trade because these lines were never under
separate ownership. They were built as one system, it is claimed.
1t is pointed out that if the proposed separation OF the railroads is
forced it will leave the Central Pacific without terminals, a road
which begins nowhere and ends nowhere. The troubles of the rail
road owners do not Immediately concern the people, But any dis
turbance of old relations which results in the disturbance of bust
ness conditions or adds to the cost OF transportation does affect the
people.
The Nevada view point can be gained from the following eG-
torial taken from the Reno Gazette Of recent date:
