BROAD-GAUGING C. ft C.
Worl of Widening the lend Shews
Geed Progress.
The broad-gauge rails for the C. A C.
road have been laid to a point about
eight miles south of Dayton and the ties
for some distance beyond. The Yering
ton Times says that as soon as the broad
gauge cars begin running into Wabuska
business at that point will be quite |
lively. The company proposes to put in
between two and three miles of side
track and build a large freight house at
this point, and freight will be trans
ferred there for all imints south until
the road is broad-gauged into Tono|iah.
It is expected that broad-gauge cars will
be running into Wabuska by the tirst of
next February, or not later than the 15th.
Wonderful Neruda Caro.
What is probably the outlet of one of
the lost or disappearing riven in East
ern Nevada is a huge cave near the line
of the Salt Lake A Los Angeles railroad,
about 60 miles west of Calientes in Lin
coln county.
E. L. Magrader of Sioux City, Iowa,
who is exploring the cave for E. H. llar
rirnan and Senator W. A. Clark of Mon
tana, has given out that the beauty of
the cave’s stalactites and stalagmites is
something wondrous. The latter rise
from the floor in the shape of trees.
Some of them are 30 feet high. The
stalactites are represented as forming
all sorts of beautiful designs. Magriuler
bus gone into the cave a distance of
2,400 feet and found six or seven mag
nificent crystallized chambers. Several
of them are of great size and heigth.
At the end of the cavern there is an
is an abyss far down in which can be
beard the roar and splash of running
waters. An attempt will lie made by
Magruder to find the depth of this abyss
anil try and trace the source of the hid
den river.
Heavy Express Business.
It took hours to transfer the express
yesterday at Mound House. The South
ern Pacific express car, which is bird)
for the season by the V. & T., is taken
off at that place and the train proceeds
to Virginia City, otherwise the down
train would be all day getting to its des
tination.—Carson News.

BIG FREIGHT AUTO
Will Used Between Goldfield and
Tonopah.
An immense freight automobile, capa
ble of drawing several heavily loaded
wagons, arrived in the city yesterday
from San Francesco and this morning
departed for Tonopah and Gotdfeeld, be
tween which points it will lie used for
freighting purposes, says the Reno Ga
zette. XI|am its arrival the huge ma
chine was taken in charge by two ma
chinists who accompanied it and the
trip to the great southern country was
begun.
The auto is a powerful machine and is
fitted up on the style of a locomotive,
having a closed cab at the rear, in which
the driver sits. It is capable of hauling
several large freight wagons on a heavy
grade and will probably be an import
ant factor in clearing up the freight con
gestion at Tonopah.
Mil* a Hinnte Hail Train.
It has been given out that beginning
with January tt of next year the South
ern Pacific company will put on a new
mail train, to run between San Fran
cisco and Ogden, with a schedule of 5J
miles an hour. This will mean a mile a
minute service on this road and will
give the West a train that can compare
favorably with those of any line in the
East.
The fastest train now is the Overland
limited, with the schedule not over 40
miles an hour. When tiiis train was
first pul on there were many “wise”
ones who s;id that it could not last,
and that a speed of 40 miles an hour
over the roads here would lie impossible.
Since that time the Southern Pacific
people have been at a great expense bal
lasting the roadbed until they feel con
fident that the track can stand the
strain of a mile a minute travel.
'Die exact reason for putting on this
train is not given, but it may be influ
enced somewhat by the construction of
tlie Western Pacific road.
Another Leasing Company.
Samuel Blair of this city and Charles
K. Winter of Grand Kncainpment.Wyo.,
have returned from Goldfield, Nev.,
where they secured a lease on what is
known as the Patrick claim, says the
Ogden State Journal. It is their pur
jRise of incorjMirating and forming a lo
cal stock company, consisting of 125
shares at $100 each. A meeting will he
held at the offices of Henderson Mc
Millan this evening when the prelimi
nary steps will be taken.
The claim is a valuable piece of prop
erty as it is in line with the famous
Jumbo, January, Combination, Flor
ence and Lone Star claims and the new
company will develop it to its fullest
extent.
