equipment, is upwards of $4,000,
and were built from designs secured
by Mr.. Tuck on his visit last spring
through the east. where he made a
study OF Turkish bath houses, equip
ment and methods.
All the furniture was ordered spec
tally for these apartments, the beds,
dressers, chairs. tables and other fur
niture being white enamel, in har-
mony with the walls, and the entire
baths. from plunge TO bedrooms have
the appearance of an up-to-date san
itarium.
Heretofore the baths have open
only to men, due to Mr.. Tuek's in
ability to secure a capable and suit
able lady attendant. This he has
now been able to do and this week,
for the first time, the ladies of the
district will have access to the priv
ieges and benefits of the baths. The
opening day for women will be FRI
DAY. August Sth. and they will have
exclusive use of the parlors on that
day from 10 a. m. TO 10 p. m. After
the bath they may have the use OF
either private rooms adjoining for
rest and relaxation, or may use the
cots in the general cooling room, or
may while waiting secure manicure,
facial massage or have their hair
dressed
Mr.. Tuck is not only pleased with
the design of his parlors, their fit

he considers most capable. 1t is his
intention to have the baths 80 con-

How the Strike Hasa ffected
Local Railway Operations

As Will be noted elsewhere the
Cobre-Ely passenger train is now run
ming on a revised schedule, leaving
Ely at els a. m. and East Ely at
GEO, and on the trip In is due to ar
rive al East Ely at S;55 p. IN. and
Ely at 900. The change Is made be-
cause of the prevailing labor condi-
tions. whereby train service on the
Nevada Northern is practically at a
standstill. the daily passenger and
mail between Ely and Cobre being
the only train In operation. AS the
railroad shops are shut down the con-
servation of engine power is a serious
problem, and the company is devot-
ing its attention primarily to keep
ing the Cobre passenger train In
operation on as regular schedule as
possible. The running time Is ma
terially heightened, as on the outgo-
ing trim the train now runs in to Nc
Gill. while on the trip In the time
from Cobre to East Ely Is extended
one hour and five minutes over Its
former schedule. The Cobre-Elypas-
senger train now handles freight,
and the 40" and 10" the regular
passenger engines, have temporarily
given place to the "s4" and the 81
ordinarily used in the ore and main
line freight service.

bre bound passenger train. went out

By the new arrangement and to OBJ

the sixteen-hour law, a train crew
will remain at Cobre every night, the
crew going from Ely in the morning,
turning the train over to the waiting
crew at Cohre for the trip In, and
vice versa.
With no machinists, boiler-makers
or helpers working. the task OF keep
ing up engine power falls on Master
Mechanic f. f. Jarrett, with the
assistance Of foreman and couple of
hostlers. Master Mechanic Jarrett
has taken the night shift since the
changed conditions. and thus far has

been able TO have an engine In readi-
ness for the outgoing morning train.
The strike order affecting the rail-
road went into effect Sunday after
noon, Immediately followed by the
cancellation of all suburban, ore and
main line freight trains. Soon after,
word was received that the 90, the
engine pulling No. 4, the inbound
cobre passenger train. had become
disabled. and the "20," that had been
in the McGill ping-pong service, was
sent out to bring In the delayed mail
