Sharp Man Nearly
PcIiShGS On Desert.

ALAMO, NrV July Last Thursday
when William Lamb, Jr.. arose from
dipping a bucket of water from the
Big Spring in the lower end of Pah-
ranagat valley, he was very much start
led by a man advancing toward him
VINO was divested Of all his clothing and
presented the sruesome spectacle of
being covered with blood and dirt from
head to foot The visitor wore a
pair Of boots. the upper portion of
which had been cut off. Other than
the boots, the fellow was stark naked.
Mr.. Lamb being man accustomed to
the des ert, Immediately reached the
conclusion that the man had probably
wandered over the parched sands a
long distance and had become dement,.
ed from thirst for water This proved
TO be the case and Mr.. Lamb came to
mis- assistance lii
The unfortunate man proved TO be
Johnny Keller, who had left his home.
at Sharp, Nevada, couple of davs
previous to come to Pahranagat valley.
The horse he was riding gave out and
was forced to strike out afoot ;menwhile
Keller became lost and wandered down
Tempiute valley, believing it to be
Chrystal wash until he reached Sheep
mountain. There he realized the serious
predicament lie was in-that Of being a
long distance from water. He then be-
gan the journey as sright as he knew
for Pahranagat, hoping TO reach there
before the pangs Of thirst had over
whelmed him. He suffered greatly and
several times almost lost heart and
gave himself up to die. His mind be
came unbalanced and it was while he
was in this condition he cut his cloth
ing from his body with pocket knife
at the same time infltctng wounds
to his flesh.
Keller was taken to the home of Chas
Kelley whore was given food and water

ll!---JuIius kruttschnitt
On Financing Railroads

/ the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing a railroad is quite differ
ent from managing government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased The
railroads, while servants OF the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by
public authorities.
There is no. a railway manager in
the country today who is not fearful
that under the press OF increasing de-
maEds the transportation systems of
the country will, In few years, break
down. unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build 1t up. There are vast sections
Of the country, especially in the West,
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail
ways raise new capital.
People invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing In concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly Rail
road securities must be made mere
attractive to invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive, the roadN must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charge"

have to say. Mr.. Kruttschnitt, exec
utlye head Of the Southern Pacific,
has written an article dealing with
the financing of railroads. He said
in part:
@The financing of railroad is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Colamis-
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but it is a most i'm
portant problem especially to sec
tions of State where new railroads
are needed The placing of securities
has been left entirely with the pro
moter and owner Of railroads.
"The immediate determination of
what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted to receive and what bur-
dcns it shall have put on it is in the
hands of other servants of the pubic

the Deseret News of Thursday has this
to say:
Among the improvements that have

the building a new steam driven
electric power plant, whic was placed
in operation this week. BY the end of
the week the pumps which are now
driven by electricity, will have un-
watered the winze below the lowest or
$50 level cf the mine and the work of
sinking wi have commenced again.
Within the next 80 days it is expected
chat the winze will be in the sulphide
zone, which core drills have shown as
existing $40 feet below the lowest level.
Already the winze is down 100 feet of
this distance where a station has been

distance stringeis of ore have been

These have be n off sGoots from the

runs from SIG to $40 a ton and there is
no reason to believe that the ore bodies
in the sulphides will not be as great
as the oxides.''
