SOLID TRAINLOAD OF BULLION
PROCEEDS ON JOURNEY WEST

Perhaps the richest train that ever
passed through Sparks went through
westbound to San Francisco yester-
day morning. 1t was a solid t~rainload
of bullion. Thirteen ears of the pre-
cious metal, destined to the mint at
the bay city from the various minis
of the East! The tain was carefully
guarded. four of five special officers
being on each car. The value of this
consignment was not given out, nor
the exact purpose of its use. but it is
presumed hat it will be coined at the
San Francisco mint, either United
States or Philippine coinage. San
Francisco does all of the latter.-lThe
Sparks Tribune.

TOO BAD EUREKA
ISN'T THE CAPITAL

We met a fellow today, says the Elko
Independent, who had recently been
for a ride on Sections Eureka & Pali-
SADIE Railroad. His description of the
trip was rich enough to tickle a
chronic growler. The train left Pail
SADIE for Union at seven in the morn
ing and arrived at Union at about one
O'Clock, over a distance of t~hirty-fye
miles. more or less. They had a fiat
a loaded with baled hay behind the
engine" said our traveller. "Out about
five miles the hay caught fire. They
stopped the train and dumped the nay
off in a field nearby. When they got
on a little farther they discovered that
the hay had set the field on fire. They
backed the train up and put that out.
After they had run on ten miles far
ther the conductor and the engineer
stopped at a ranch and took forty-hve
minutes getting a piece of pie n a
glass of milk. If the passengers got
cold they could get out land walk
ahead of the train for a few miles,
only YOU couldn't get too far ahead or
you'd freeze to death before it caught
up with you. 1t was some ride" Too
bad Eureka isn't the capital of Ne
vada.

Wnnemueca Is Years Ago Today
From The Daily Silver State

? The Washington Post publishes the following complimentary notice
, of a Nevada girl: Miss Mabel Benton, who has been playing at the
, Harris theatre this week in Oliver Byrons company, is but sixteen. In
? childhood she developed wonderful ability as a actress; as she grew
, older she had a strong impulse for the stage, which she finally decided
to adopt She made her first appearance in The Plunger' about six
, months ago, and has won considerable admiration for her ability and
, originality in the roles that fell to her. Judging from the success she
, meets with everywhere she goes, it is safe to say that Miss Benton has
a most promising future. 1t is seldom a girl of her age displays so
firm a grasp upon many Of the essentials of stage art"
