H|CH FREIGHT RATES
HURT MINING

That the so called "short lines" and
branch lines of the transcontinenta
railroads in Nevada are determined to
extract "all the traffic will bear is ap-
parent in their attitude at the recent
hearing before the public service COM
mission for fiat raise of Is uer cent
of the existing rates, on authority of
the interstate commerce commission
says the Nevada Mining Press. Ship
vcrs and receivers of freight were in
vitcd to appear at the hearing and en-
ter their protests. The railroads OBJ
jected to the taking of testimony,
claiming that the public service COM
mission could do no less than recon-
mend the rate increase to the public
service commission within a few days.
Indications are that the application OF
the rail lines for blanket raise will be
denied.
Some interesting evidence was intro
duced at the hearing which shows how
the branch lines and short lines have
fattened at the expense OF the indus
tries OF the state. 1t developed. Tor
instance, that through rates. with very
few exceptions. are not granted to
points off the main lines. Tonopah
as an illustrationmust pay class rates
in carload iotsfrom Hazen that origin
ate out df the state. John G.. Kirchen,
manager of the Tonopah Extension
mine, gave interesting testimony OF
how this worked Out. He cited
that carload shipments OF cyanide
on which the freight from Niagara
Falls to Hazen is $1,000 From Ha-
zen to Tonopah the Southern Pacific
and Tonopah and Goldt;ield railroads
extract $1,000. The distance from
Niagara Falls to Hazen is abot 1000
miles: from Hazen to Tonopal is l94
miles. Freight charges for the 1874
miles are $500 greater than for the
1000 miles.
Mine machinery in carload lots,
Chicago to Hazen, takes rate OF
$l.S7 per cwt.; from Hazcn to Tono-
pah the rate is SLIP IL bar iron from
Pittsburg to Hazen, $l.46 IL; Hazen
to Tonopaf. $l.27 l-2
Shippers Nof crude oil will be seri-
ously affected by the proposed in
crease in freight rates. There are no
smelters in operation in Nevada, and
all the business is interstate, therefore.
rates are controlled by the interstate
commerce commission. If the rail
lines insist upon advancing their
charges Is per cent. it is inevitable
many lines will be compelled to cur
tail their out put sending out only
the higher grade ores. There is now
shortage al lead, silver and gold in
the country; it is time when pro-
duction should be encouraged.

DRY OFFICERS GET
DOUBLE CROSS

Prohibition enforcement officers
recently got busy in Mineral county
They had information that still
was in operation OH ranch, about Is
miles from Nina. They also learned
that a former resident Of Ycrington
was interested in the still. Federal
officers met the Yerington man in
Nina and told him they were look
ing for a place to pasture stock, say
ing they we're told the Ycrington
man had some pasture land with Ma-
ter on it near Nina. The Yerington
man 'tumbled" and said. sure: I've
got just the pasture you want. Jump
into my car and I'll take you out
there"
Convinced that they would find the
still hidden somewhere on the ranch.
the slueths got into the car After
riding several hours over very rougl,
country they finally arrived at dis
NAL looking stretch OF rocks and sage
brush. There was water hole, a cabin
and few fence posts stuck in the
ground After looking around and
bargaining for the use of the ranch.
the supposed owner said he wanted
to see a neighbor who lived lust over
the hill" got into his car, saying he
would return shortly and take his
guests back to Nina
Well, he drove off and left the
booze hunters.
.After long and hungry wait tho
officers were obliged to hike it to
Nina The day was hot and the road
was long, rough and dry, and when
they finally reached Nina they were
not only tired. but they were hot in
every sense d' the word.
The first person they met on the
street was the Yerington man, who
greeted them cordially and said: "Well.
what do you think of my pasture: !:
1t is pretty good place to pasture
stock, but am afraid it's too dry
even for prohibition detective, eh:"
And the officers realized that they
had been stung.
