STREET GUTTER RUNS GOLD
Crowds in Nevada City Collect the
Precious Metal on Public
Thoroughfare.

The cement gutter on tine sou:h
side of Broad street, in front of TIE
National hotel. was lined the other
day With eager gold searcners, men
and boys. Some of Them picked no
az high as S. worth of gold il a
short time.
Where the gold came from is a
question. Some hold me theory that
it came from the drain from the met,
ing room of tine Citizens hank, which
dumps into the Broad street gutter.
This theory is. somewhat borne out
by the fact that the sulG resembles
retorting metal Others think it is
gravel gold that found its way into
the gutter farther up Broad street
when Charles r. Tegler enlarged his
cellar. There was much gravel in the
material that came out of the cellar

MISSOURI PACIFIC NOW
PULLING EXTRA MILEAGE

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 29.-Complaint
has been filed with the state railway
commission by Food Commissioner
Harmon, that the Missouri Pacific rail-
road conductors are rudely tearing out
of mileage books presented by state
employees two and half miles for ev-
cry two miles Travelled. These books
were purchased at the rate of cents
a mile, and as the Missouri Pacific is
now being allowed by the federal court
to charge az cents mile instead of
the statutory cents, it has ordered it's
conductors to treat mileage books on
the same basis. The companies are
increasing the 1000 mile interchange
able books from $40 to $50 after today.
and Mr.. Hartman thinks they are not
entitled to treat his book SO purchased
weeks ago in the manner they have
been using.
The food commissioners contention
is that the railroads have no right to
increase the price Of books because the
injunction they secured in federal
court was against the enforcement Of
the 2-cent fare law, which does not
contain any mention of mileage book
rates. those being taken care Of in an
other act
