THE UPPER BERTH.
Here Are Six Reasons Why it is su-
periori Ito sthe Lower

1t is the opinionEof experienced travel
ers that the upper berth in a sleeping
ear is superior to the lower berth for
the following reasons:
l. 1t is provided with spring mattress,
whereas the lower berth is made upon
the cushions of the seat.
>. 1t is well ventilated, and partakes
of the air and temperature of the entire
car, rather than being inclosed complete
II. as is the case with the lower berth
3. 1t has hooks provided for hanging up
clothing. which lower berths do not have
4. Modern cars have berth lamps, mir
ror and separate curtains for upper
berths As fast as possible these features
are being added to cars now in service.
5. 1t is cheaper, costing but 50 per cent
of the price of lower berth in most in
stances
s. Occupants of upper berths have ex-
actly the same privileges as the Occur
pants Il the lower berths during the day
time, When berths are not being Occur
pied z
Travellers seldom think of these things
when buying sleeping car Accommodations.
They view with alarms the somewhat inn
aginary inconvenience of adjusting them
selves to the comfortable upper berth.
The growing list of experienced travellers
who prefer the upper berth, and sleep
upstairs regardless OF the supply of low
er berths, is testimony worthy Of consid-
Grafton of their fellow travellers.
Patrons who occupy the upper berth
will be more healthy, wealthy and wise.
Their good health will come from the
good ventilation and soft, springy bed
of the upper berth. Their increased
wealth will consist not only in the
20 per cent saved in the price OF
the berth, but in their increased earning
capacity, attributed to their good health
Their increased store of wisdom is mani
tested by the act II purchasing an upper
berth in preference to lower

TROUT ARE DYING In WASHOE
COUNTY WATERS, Is REPORT

Lake trout are dying in consider
able numbers in the stream which
connects Winnemucca or Mud lake
with Pyramid lake, according to OBJ
servations made there by Thomas
Scott, county game warden, and r. B.
Hawcroft, who visited the two lakes
ard the Indian dam on the reserva-
ton. Hawcroft said that he did not
believe many trout were getting over
the Indian dam to the spawn beds,
because the ladder is improperly To-
Gated; and he does not believe that
any could get over the Derby dam in
case they did get by the Indian dam.
No Indians were found at or near
the reservation dam. A dam has been
constructed in the stream which o n
rects the two lakes. but Hawcroft
says it is impossible for a fish to
ascend it. In the stream connecting
the two lakes Hawcroft counted 25
or 80 large trout, all dead, he says.
The State fish commission is taking
spawn at the Indian dam and has
thus far taken about 200, 900 eggs

NATIVE GOLD PANS

a very small piece of rock. 1t did
not take much time for the news to
be noised around. and in a few min
utes old desert rats could be seen
sneaking off in their fliyvers until the
alarm spread, and then the rush be-
came general. At midnight it was re-
ported hat 200 men were busy plant
ing monuments at the scene of the
strike, which in a general way is
about a mile and a half east of the
East Divide mine.
The first strike was made by Peter
Fox, formerly of Reveille, and Phil
Riley, who was known to every Gold
fielder of the boom days. They were
out on a general prospecting trip
when they uncovered q ledge that
looked good, with native gold show
ing freely, and plenty of silver. They
located four claims as the Roosevelt
group, and another partner named
Jack Stewart end-lined them with
another bunch of claims from which
still better-looking rock was taken.
Reports from the first contingent be-
gan to come in long after midnight,
and at 3 o'clock in the morning an
other bunch of locators seized any
machines they could find standing on
the streets without waiting to ask
consent of the owners, and hurried off
