POWER GOING TO WASTE.

Sea to Turn the Wheels of Indus
try in the Busiest States.

Within the area whose boundaries
are roughly indicated by the lower
Potomac river, the cities OF Sunbury
and Utica. the sources Of the Hudson
river. and Portland, Me-, there are 3d.,
600 manufacturing establishments OF
which three,fourths have power plants
with All average rating OF 200 horse
power. Within this area also are
sos electric utility plants, Fuel, chiefly
small sizes of coal, furnish about two
thirds of the power, water. largely
through hydroelectric plants, furnishes
the rest. The region has $4,000 miles
Of railway, single track measurement,
of which 10000 miles might be cleo
trified with profit. On account OF its
extensive manufacturing n trans
p~ortation facilities this area is the
chief of power in the United
States.
The electrical power actually used is
only a fraction Of the power which an
be developed by utilizing the fall OF
the rivers within the area. By extend
ing the power area to the st. Law
renee and Lake Erie hydroelectric pow
err may be doubled in the near future.
At the present time and for some
time TO come coal from the P~ennsylvan-
ia region will be the chief fuel used in
generating electricity. But by better
conservation and by the use of I'M
marketable sizes there may be a pos
sible saving yearly of about $4,000 tons
of ~merehantablc coal.
The total power which may be deyel-
oped within this area is not TO be
created; it already exists, and a
tremendous proportion of it has been
running to waste. Several years ago
at the request Of the president of the
New York, New Haven, & Hartford rail
road and w. s. Murray, a consulting
engineer. the late Franklin X. Lane. then
secretary of the interior, authorized a
| survey of the region under the diree.
ton of the United States geogleal
survey. with the purpose OF ascertain
ing the available power and the prob.
able cost OF its development.
The rport Of th commission has
Just appeared. For generating and
Transmitting the available power with

estimated at 81, 100. 564 900; for the

VALUABLE BULLS ESCAPE
FROM RAILROAD CORRAL

Joe Grauvogel, Western Pacific
freight agent here, had the mis-
fortune several days ago to lose
three pure-blood Hereford bulls
which were being shipped with lot
consigned to San Francisco from
Price, Utah. These three animals
made their escape here while the
car was being reloaded, the lot
having been rested and fed here.
Through some manner one of the
gates became unfastened and the
three bulls escaped. Had it not
been for the fact that they were
chased by couple of dogs in the
immediate vicinity of the stock pen,
Grauvogel states that they would
have been captured at once, but as
it was, only one was brought back.
A search has been made for the
two strays for several days, but
with no results. A reward for their
discovery has been offered by Mr..
Grauvogel in the hope that they will
be located and returned to the COM
pany's pen.

tity of assorted liquors was found,
"Tex" Hall, said to be one of the
proprietors, was placed under arrest,
according to a report of the case,
says the Reno Gazette.
There was nothing spectacular
about the raid. The officers went
to the front door and rang the bell.
Two of them entered while two
others waited outside. 1t is said
there were no customers in the place
at the time and Hall quite gracious
ly escorted them about as they in
spected the premises. Gins, Whis-
kies and beers were seized. Hall
was taken before United States
Commission Warren to arrange bail.

NEVADA RAILROAD
STRIKE UNCHANGED

There has been no trouble of any
consequence in any of the railroad
points along the line of the South
ern or Western Pacific in Nevada,
J. F. Flumer, United States mar
shal, said yesterday morning on his
return from a general inspection
trip.
He spent several days in Ely, his
old home, and says business condi-
tions there are very good and that
work has started on the rebuilding
of the concentrator which was des-
troyed by fire several days ago.
Railroad strike conditions through
out the state have not changed any
during the past few days. Mer-
chants in Sparks are complaining
of the effect the strike has had on
business in the railroad community.
There is no information available
as to the number of men now work
ing in the shops. The railroad COM
pany has placed several work train
cars in the yards and the men work
ing in the shops sleep and eat in the
cars and do not leave the yards.
A telegram was received by Gov
Boyle yesterday from E. E. Calvin,
vice-president of the Union Pacific,
stating there was no trouble at Las
Vegas now, that the men working
there were being given ample pro-
lection and that conditions were
quiet.-Gazette.

lock Says Portion of Road Com
planned of Is Being Worked
On and Is Improved

The much complained Of detours
around the Victory highway between
this city and Lovelock, made neccs-
sary by construction work under
way on various portions of the road,
have been dragged and put in con-
dition that will permit of fast travel,
according to a telegram received
yesterday by L. G. Campbell of this
city, from w. II. Goodin of Love-
lock, both men being officials of the
Overland Trail Club. Mr.. Goodin' 's
telegram follows:
"Roads being much benefited by
dragging after heavy rains of last
two days. Lovelock east, follow
state highway to Seola seventeen
miles, then good, well-dragged de-
tour to Rye Patch, then highway to
Humboldt. Then good to fair de-
tour six miles to near Inlay, then
highway to Mill City. Then fan
dirt road to Winnemucca, with run
ming time to INLAY not over two
hours. Roads east and west are
being worked after rains"
That the road has been improved
will undoubtedly be very acceptable
news to residents and business mer
of this city, for the reason that the
bad stretches of road have brought
forth unfavorable publicity and con
sequent falling off Of tourist traffic
over this route.

MEX|CANs ENGAGE
IN CARVING DUEL
One Is In Hospital and the Other
Under Arrest at Gerlach; Both
We're Severely Cut Up but
Probably Not Fatally

As a result of an alteration which
took place between two Mexicans
in Chinatown during the early part
of last night, one man is in the hos
pital here today receiving treatment
for knife wounds in the scalp and
right lung while the other is being
held in jail at Gerlach awaiting the
arrival of officers from this city
when he will be brought back here
for hearing.
How the scrap started has not
been learned, as the Mexican in the
hospital here, Ramon Garcia, re-
fuses to make any statement, but il
is believed that the difference Of
opinion arose over their Indian lady
friends. During the battle Garcia
received a couple of deep scalp
wounds inflicted with a knife and a
deep cut in the left lung. He was
able, however, to make his way to
DIR. Halls office in East Third street
where he received emergency treat
ment, and from which place he was
sent to the hospital.
The other Mexican, whose name
has not been ascertained, made his
escape to the Western Pacific vi
cinity, where officers were unable
to locate him. A careful search OF
that territory was instituted by the
officers, however, but it was not un.
til this morning that Officer Perry
Boyd found the mans tracks and
tracked them to the vicinity of the
sheep corrals, above the freight
house, where his complete outfit OF
clothing was discovered. That the
man was badly wounded was evident
from the condition of this clothing
every article, including shoes, being
saturated with blood. A hole in the
left side of this clothing, severa
inches in length, indicated that the
man had been severely stabbed
causing loss Of great amount oi
blood.
How he managed to make ths
change of clothing and escape is not
known, but it is supposed thai
friends helped him in making hi,
getaway, perhaps fearing that h,
had killed Garcia. Through the eff
forts of the officers here the missing
Mex was taken into custody at Ger
lach by Constable Scott Butler, ane
will be brought back to this city
That the man had received deer
cut in the back was asserted in i,
telegram sent by Butler. Both mel
will recover, it is presumed.
