Cars Smashed and Ore Spilled
in Nevada Northern Wreck

The main line of the Nevada North
ern railway was quite effectively in
vovled Friday by wreck that occur
red soon after six O'Clock, about one
mile west of Hiline Junction. The
train that caused the miX-up was an
ore train, en- route from the mines TO
McGin consisting of % loads and
caboose, hauled by locomotive No SO,
Engineer Smoot and Conductor Fred
Waits. The train had left the East
Ely yards around six o'clock, and was
making the usual run up the hill TO
Hiline when something happened.
What this something was has not yet
been ascertained. and the cause of the
wreck is yet under investigation, but
at any rate. something having to do
with the running gear of one of the
ore cars apparently went wrong, with
the result that thirteen of the heavy
steel gondolas, loaded TO capacity,
went off the steel, and piled up along
The right Of way In as complete
a wreck as often happens.
According to reports. Conductor
Waits, who was riding In the cupola
of the caboose, saw one of the cars
few car-lengths ahead of the crum-

there was confusion worse confound'
ed. Fortunately, none OF the train
crew was injured. This is miraeu-
lous considering the damage done to
rolling stock and road bed which was
considerable.
The shift train from Ely TO McGill
had gone ahead of the ore train. the
train most particularly affected was
the main line passenger for Cobre.
Following the wreck. the train for Co
bre was held at East Ely, and the
railway officials at once got busy and
| made plans to make the best of an
unusual situation. The outcome was
that the daily passenger traffic, main
line and local, was handled with but
little delay, considering the circum.
stances. The Cohre train went to the
scene of the wreck and passengers,

confined to the cars. which with their
loads OF ore piled up promiseu-
ously along the right of way, but the
road bed was torn up almost to the
point of obliteration for a long dis
tance.
Nine of the thirteen cars derailed
were bodily smashed and the loads of
ore estimate total loss
A good many spectators went out
to the scene of the accident Those
who saw the havoc resulting from a
couple of million pounds of misdirect-

ness of the smash-up. and had a good
opportunity to see how a railroad
