$IH,500 in Passes To
Be Lost By Railroad
Men If Rule Is Passed

The attorney general Of Texas is try
ing to compel railways in this state
to charge fares for carrying the wives
and families Of employees, state en-
pIoyes and employees OF connecting
railways.
There are between 1000 and 5000
men and women employed by the diff
1erent railroads in various capacities
IN this city. Assuming $500 to be a
fair number, it is estimated that two
thirds Of these are married men, In
other words, there are 5000 wives Of
employees here. There are possibly
1000 children Of employees who would
be liable to pay fare.
OF the 5000 married railroad men
here. possibly two-thirds have been
counting on going to the big exposi-
tons In California this summer and
taking along their families.
Carrying out the problem. this would
mean 1000 employees and 200 depend
ents. wives and children. If the attor-
ney general Of Texas can make good
his argument against passes and also
make that argument stick in interstate
commerce-thOugh all the local rail-
readers are confident that he can't and
are praying that he will not-then il
will mean that Ell PasO married rail-
road men who plan the California ex-
cursions will have to "whack up" the
$45 return fare for each OF 200 per
sons between here and San Francisco.
And that amounts to the very nice
little sum Of Sill. 500. The raiIroaders
declare that IL the attorney general of
Texas is proved TO have wrong ideas
on interstate commerce, this money
will be spent with the merchants Of FL
PasO.
But II the attorney general does
make good in his case to shut off the
free transportation. there's going to
be a lot OF disappointment for the
wives and children for a whole lot Of
them viii have TO be content with sum
mer vacations at CloudcrofI instead of
seeing the great fairs in san Diego and
San Francisco.

Warren was so plainly disagreeable

Warren did not answer, but Helen

of Mr.. Henriehs and explained his

NEVADA CONVICT INNENTS
DEVICE FOR AUTOMOBILE.

Nimrod urie, serving a life sen
tence at the Nevada State Prison mas
received from the government q
patent on a cone direct drive for an
automobile which is considered by
those who have studied the plans to
be a great improvement over the
present system of auto drives.
This patent does away entirety
with the old style transmission, with
about 300 pounds in weight and a
half reduction in cos of manufae-
ture. 1t gives the long sought for
direct drive. greater stability, more
power and the fact that the reverse
movement of the car can be made in

The shifting is all done with the foot
clutch. New York parties are wors-
ing on the commercializing of the
patent and it is expected that cars
will be fitted with the new transmits
sion before long.

NINE AND MIL At AURORA

The mines and mill of the Au-

have closed down temporarily, Geo.
Wingfeld. president of the corpora
ton said recently. according to the
Reno Gazette. The policy of the
officials of the Goldfeld Consolidat-
ed, which controls the Aurora Mines
company, is one of economy, he ex-
plainel. and this is the reason.
THE filters placed in the mill
were found to be not economical
said Mr.. Wingield. They were in
stalled before the Goldfield Consoli-
dated purchased the mine and after
a thorough trying out 1t was demon
strated that they were not practical.
Il was decided therefore. to close
the mine and mill and replace these
filters with another type.
THE new machinery has been
ordered and should be in place by
April /. at which time operations
will be resumed"

Twenty-Five men registered at the
Maekay school of mines for the snort
course in prospecting which extends
through the month of February. Or
these men 10 registered as prospect
ors and 4 as miners. so the registra-
ton shows that the majority OF those
entering the course belong to the
class of men for which it was intend
ed. Most of the remaining men in
tend to engage in prospecting, only a
few entering the course because OF
general interest in mining. Three
enrolled as students and the remain
ing s gave their occupation as fol-
lows: Homesteaders, office manager,
