EUREKA MAIL SERVICE
Correspondence Between Pos
tai Department and Local
Railway Regarding New
Train Schedule Effective
May IL

As previously announced in the
Sentinel" a six trains a week SER
vice on the Eureka-Nevada Railway
will be inaugurated on May IT, but
only three trains a week will be run
through to Eureka, the terminus of
the trip on the remaining three days
being Diamond station, about ten
miles north of Eureka.
Under the new schedule, trains
from Palisade will reach Eureka at
noon every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and leave for Palisade the
same day at p. m, reaching Pali-
sade at 6:10. On Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday, trains will run only
to Diamond, and there being no stage
service arranged between that sta
tion and Eureka, the citizens of Eu-
reka will receive only the same mail
service as at present. that is, three
mails per week.
The following copies of correspon-
dence between the Railway Mail Ser
vice and ]. E. Sexton of the Eureka
Nevada Railway show that unless ar
rangements for carrying the mail be-
tween Diamond and Eureka are made
by the Government. there will be no
better service than that of past years.

STOCKMEN WILL INCREASE RE-
WARD FOR CATTLE RUSTLERS

Steps looking to the relief from cat
tie "rustling" and condition which
demands drastic range regulation
were taken at the meeting of men,
bers of the Southern Nevada Cattle
week by the adoption of resolutions
covering these important subjects,
according to Vernon Metcalf, secre-
tary of the Nevada Live Stock Associ-
alton upon his return from the con-
vention. says the Gazette.
The resolution dealing with cattle
stealing calls upon the State authorf-
ties for full cooperation In enforcing
tn present laws and to effect such
changes In legislation as are neces-
sary to bring adequate relief.
The cattle rustling situation. as re-
vealed by individual stock men at the
meeting. Is actually alarming. There
developed a sentiment for a new
branding law providing for a central
depot for the maintaing of branding
records and desire was voiced for
strict laws covering the branding of
stock and hides leaving the State;
also the licensing of butchers and a
record of their sales preserved. The
suggestion that the maximum reward
OF $500 for the arrest and prosecu-
tion of cattle thieves, as fixed by law,
be increased to $1,000. also met with
approval.
Complaining Of the vast influx Of
sheep into this State from outside
territory, which Is growing worse
each year and monopoliZing the
range, the association passed a re-
solution calling upon the United
States Government for protection on
the public domain, 1t was pointed
out that IL the influx of sheep is not
checked cattle men must dispose Of
their herds and buy sheep so that
they can hight sheep with sheep" or
go out of business altogether.
