MINERALS ARE NOT ELASTIC
IN VALUE, RAILWAY DECIDES

A freight rate of So a ton On all ore
not exceeding SIS a ton in value has
been granted by the interstate COM
merce commission from Ely to the
various smelter points of Utah. says
the Ely Times. Allowance of this was
due to a request made by the manage
ment of the Nevada Northern railway.
The same rate also applies to East
Ely, Warm Springs, Ray, Cherry
Creek, Green, Currie. and Decoy. The
Lane City rate will be $40. and Ruth,
Copper Flat, and Kimberly. $3.50.
The old rate was on ore worth not
less than $25 a ton, and the reduction
averages s1.25 a ton. The Nevada
Northern management well under
stands that minerals are not elastic
in value and could not be forced to
pay more than their cost of produc-
ton, that of treatment and transpor-
%tation, with some profit. To have
exacted the $25 rating would have
caused the closing down of various
properties and leases in the territory
affected, which now should not only
be able to continue, but their number
should be augmented.

j. w. Jobe vas called before Judge
Harrington at Carson City yesterday
morning. The case comes from White

work was neglected and O'Brien and
associates relocated the ground, car

volved. especially by one who is an
employee, the mining law regulating

ing and stalking, and it is understood

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
RATES DECEMBER1

The Public Service Commission has
Instituted a proceeding against the
Southern Pacific Company, the West
ern Pacific Railroad, and the Los An
geles & Salt Lake Railroad, directing
them to show cause why their pres
ent i%ntrastate passenger fares of four,
five, and six cents per mile should
and why meals should not be served
in their respective dining cars at
more moderate prices.
The Nevada case is set for hearing
at Carson City ON December Is, 1920,
at 1890 o'clock am, and all who are
interested in the question should APP
pear at the hearing and demand their
rights, or write to the Nevada Rail-
road Commission. stating their views
fully.
The. interstate passenger fares from
within to without and vice versa on
these railroads have been increased
20 per cent by order of the Fedora
commission, effective August 26, 1920.
This makes rates range from AS to
IL cents per mile, while both inter-
state and state fares in practically all
other states are but $50 cents per
mile. Compared with pre-war times
the Nevada fares are exceedingly
high because all round-trip fares and
scrip books have been withdrawn.
An application for reduction of
passenger fares was filed some time
ago by the commissions of Arizona.
Nevada and New Mexico, directed
against the unreasonable interstate
rates. This application is now pend
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

RAILROADS ORDERED TO KEEP
SWITCHING FACILITIES INTACT

The Public Service Commission has
ordered the Southern Pacific and the
Western Pacific railways to maintain
at least one of the two connecting
tracks built during the war at Elko
for convenience of shippers who wish
to transfer cars from one line to the
other. reports the Carson City News.
Whether the east or the west track
is kept in use is left for the railroads
to decide. According to the order, a
charge of $40 per car will be paid
TO the company which does the
switching for each car transferred to
the industrial tracks of the other line.

The campaign is not to balk justice,
but an effort to have the youths SEN
tence committed on account of his
age and the condition of his mother,
who is widow with five children.
The testimony on which Walker was
convicted was mainly that of his two
