PROTEST TO NEW SCHEDULE

Following the filing of Mr.. Jurieh's
protest with the public service COM
mission official notice had been re-
ceived from Benson Wright. secre-
tary of the commission. of public
hearing at Carson City. New, April
90, 1921, at 1890 a. m, to hear
evidence in support of and IN opposi-
tion to the railway company's ap-
plication for change of passenger
train schedule.
Friday night there was received in
Ely further notice from the public
service commission to the effect that
the first notice calling for a hearing
at Carson City April 80 had been
vacated and the time reset for hear
ing at Ely Saturday. April %, at
1890 m.
Inasnuch as Mr.. Zurich has writ
ten the public service commission
withdrawing his protest, il seems
probable there will be no occasion
for a hearing, and that the company s
proposed change of train schedule
Will go into effect Sunday, April "a,

road through Connor's pass into
Spring valley and then taking the
Lake valley road where 1t turns south
from the road TO Shoshone. eontinu-
ing on toward Phoebe as far as Pony
springs, where branch road leads tc
Bristol pass and then turning north
To Silverhorn. The camp is showing
much activity and several well-known
eastern mining men have sent repre-
sentatiyes into the field to make re
ports on the district.
Two or three small frame houses
and several tent houses is about all
the accommodations now showing as
habitations, but miners and prospect
ors who go to the new camp are car
