Opinion and order-Shaugnessy,
Chairman The following facts were
developed: That the Nevada Cop
per Belt Railroad Company, al es-
| tablished common carrier, filed and
appeared in support of its applica-
ton for a certificate of public conven-
fence to continue the rendering Of
public service in accordance with the
law; that the Nevada Copper Belt
Railroad Company is an incorporated
company operating as a common car
rier in the State of Nevada; that it
has maintained since 1910 regular
| freight, passenger, mail and express
service by steam train and gasoline
motor cars between Wabuska, and
/ Yerington, Mason, Nordyke, Wilson,
| Hudson, Colony and Ludwig, and be-
tween Wabuska and Thompson. Ne
vada. in Mason and Smith Valleys,
Lyon County. Nevada, that time
schedules and freight and passenger
tariffs covering the operation OF the
railroad are legally on file with the
Public Sevice Commission of Nevada
and that time schedules and freight
and passenger tariffs provide for To-
| cal service Between the aforesaid
! Smith and Mason Valley points and
! Wabuska, Nevada, where connection
and Interchange of tariffs are made
with the Southern Pacific Company
| Tor transportation to and from all
railroad points within and without
the state; further, that in connection
with said application the Nevada
Copper Belt Railroad Company, by
way of complaint, showed that it rem
ders through passenger mail and
express service between Yerington
and Wabuska, by joint operating
arrangement with the Monahan Auto
Stage line from and to Yerington
Junction and Yerington, and that, in
rendering said through joint railroad
and auto-stage line service between
the aforesaid points, it is forced to
/ meet unreasonable and unwarrented
! competition OF auto-passenger stage
carriers operating for hire and carry
/ ing passengers between Wabuska and
! Yerington on the same schedule and
making the same connection be-
| tween Wabuska and Yerington on
/ the same schedule and connecting
| with the Southern Pacific trains at
Wabuska that has heretofore been
and is now regularly established by
the railroad: that this results in
| loss in the railroads revenues rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 per month:
that said railroad operates an all-the
year-round uninterrupted daily SER
vice, whereas said competing lines
operate only. during good weather
conditions and fail to perform SER
vice if weather is bad that is amply
prepared and does render an adequ
ate freight and comfortable service
to and from all points served by its
line, and that there is no good reason
/ why the automobile competition
should be authorized to operate be-
tween Wabuska and Yerington and
Mason, upon the time schedule Of
its line ;Sthat in this behalf, the rail
road finds said auto line competitors
soliciting passengers at its depot at
Wabuska and at times even solicit
ing them from within its cars after
passengers have got on preparatory
to leaving Wabuska for Yerington
and other points; that the railroad
fare between Wabuska and Yering-
ton as jointly maintained by the rail-
road and its connecting line into
