ITS PAY DAY T( HKI.I1
SITUATION.
The Tonopah ExIeiiHinn Mining
Company helped the financial nltua
tlon In this city In no little di-pree
yesterday.
The tenth of the month in pay day
at the mine, but the money for the
pay roll was shipped In from Phila
delphia, and arrived here yesterday
and President Don Gillies, taking ad
vantage of the money being here,
advanced the pay day from the tenth
to yesterday, and issued checks to
the miners. He notified the Nevada
First National Bank of his action,
and the bank considerately kept Its
doors open until 5 o'clock last even
ing In order to accommodate the
men, and pay the checks.
The action of Mr. Gillies was very
timely, for when there Is so little
being drawn out of the banks, every
dollar that Is put In circulation in
solid money helps the situation that
much.
MRS BARTLETT
WAS HOSTESS
DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON AXI)
AUTISTIC AND ORIGINAL
DECORATIONS.
Mrs. George A. Bartlett entertain
ed the Lunas Clava yesterday after
noon at a most delightful luncheon.
The decorations of smilax and fern
were most artistic, and the center
pieces of the luncheon tables ex
tremely original, being representa
tions of the rainbow which hovered
over Tonopah a week ago Sunday.
Miniature rainbows, with the fabled
pots of gold at each end, were archad
above mounds of fern and smilax.
At each cover was a pot of gold filled
with golden almonds, and gold
horseshoes tied with scarlet ribbons
rested in a wreath of smilax.
Needless to say the viands were in
keeping with the artistic decorations
and the repast was as delightful as
was the company. After luncheon a
unique sculpturing contest was in
augurated, the first prize falling to
Mrs. Key Pittman for a very clever
caricature of Hon. George A. Bart
lett. Mrs. D. S. McGuire received

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
NOW IN CONTROL
iKi.Mixiov of o:;k:;ox mioht
I.IXK IS AT AX KXD IX
NEVADA.
More important than any change
in railroad management since K. II.
iiarrimnn outlined control of his
transcontinental Hue, Is the re-dlvi
slon of the system announced official
ly yesterday In Sparks, says the Reno
Journal. The Oregon Short Line of
ficiuls, who have conducted for four
years the affairs on the line from
Ogden to Sparks, and from Ogden to
Green River, Wyo., were told in the
telegram that the Southern Pacific
Company and the Union Pacific Com
pany now have charge of 1000 miles
of rails.
Southern Pacific management ex
tends from San Francisco to Ogden,
according to the new ruling, and the
Union Pacific management is extend
ed west from Omaha to Ogden.
"You are working for the South
ern Pacific instead of the Oregon
Short Line," was the word buzzed
through the headquarters In Sparks,
after the notice came from New
York. A rumor came through Fri
day night, but was not believed when
first heard by even the best Informed
of local officials. It became a reality
shortly after noon yesterday. The
subject was the talk of the town dur
ing the morning and when the report
was obtained that the change of man
agement had taken place, a corres
ponding change of district officials
was predicted.
The Oregon Short Line exists as a
railroad now only between Portland
and Ogden.
K. H. Harrlman owns the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company. It Is freely
slated in Sparks that many of the
Oregon Short Line men, who pro
curiyj their present positions when
the old Southern Pacific management
was supplanted, will be taken back
to the Short Line. This is believed to
mean that Southern Pacific officials
will largely be appointed by Gen
eral Manager E. E. Calvin, to fill the
places now held by General Manager
Bancroft's agents.
Before the announcement of the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
control was made, the management
of the Oregon Short Line affairs was
directed from Salt Lake by W. H.
Bancroft. When Mr. Harrlman ac
quired the Oregon Short Line, he
chose Mr. Bancroft as his head man,
8nd also made him vice president of
the great corporation.
E. E. Calvin was given a similar
place on the Southern Pacific. Mr.
Calvin operated from San Francisco,
his authority extending from there to
Portland on the north, to Los An
geles on the south and to Sparks on
the east.
W. G. Van Vllck was general man
ager of the Sunset route of the
Southern Pacific. Mr. Van Vllck's
main offices are in Texas, and he con
trols the system from Los Angeles to
New Orleans.
According to the Information that
was received from Salt Lake, It was
not stated that any of these chief of
ficials would be deposed. All rumors
telling of new general managers are
ridiculed by those who claim to be
well posted.
The Oregon Short Line was con
trolled by Union Pacific and Its con
trol was acquired by Harrlman when
the Union Pacific passed into his
hands, the Oregon Short Line went
with It. Three years ago, about the
time the shops were constructed in
Sparks, Harriman gave the manage
ment of the Southern Pacific between
Sparks and Green River to the Short
Line officials. A radical change of
policy, consequently, was introduced.
On October 31, Union Pacific
shares were quoted at $97, and at
that time, also, J. P. Morgan and
William Rockefeller purchased in
Wall street, according to the financial
news bureau, 200,000 shares. The
purchase entailed an outlay of over
$19,000,000. This amount, after be
ing turned into Mr. Harriman's treas
ury, was used to prevent a continu
ance of the financial depression.
ROBBED THE
SLUICE BOXES
ROUND FOUNTAIN, Nov. 4. The
sluice boxes of the Round Mountain
Hydraulic Mining Company were rob
bed on Sunday morning, or late Sat
urday night. The riffles were lifted
rrom several boxes and the' contents
scooped out. It is said that at least
$5000 were stolen. Suspicion points
to several parties, who are under
surveillance.

PROGRESS OF
WESTERN PACIFIC
OVKK II. ILK WAV THROUGH
THE ItKt-KWorilTII PASS
TUNNEL.
The Western Pacific In now more
than half way through Its 6000-foot
tunnel at Brckwourth pass, the low
est of all the natural openings
through the lofty Sierra barrier, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The pass Is formed by a table laud,
upon which the ridges of the Sierra
dwindle until they leave a decided
gap through the range, forming a
level valley of about 1000 acres. As
the pass makes a horseshoe curve to
the southward, the Western Pacific,
which is everywhere making cut-offs,
regardless of cost of original con
struction, is running Its line under
ground on a direct course that will
pass under the northern spur that
tapers down to the pass proper.
This Beckwourth pass was named
after a pioneer guide and pathfinder,
named Jim Beckwourth, a negro, but
it has long been confused in name
with a small town up in that region
called Beckwith, after an army offi
cer. Beckwourth pass is the ideal
gateway in the Sierra, as it Is 2000
feet lower than any other known
opening through the range.
When the Central Pacific engineers
made their surveys they recognized
the grade advantages of this route,
but the initial transcontinental rail
road could not risk the necessary en
ormous expenditure. Harrlman, rec
ognizing a lost opportunity, is debat
ing whether or not to spend $30,000,
000 In boring a gigantic tunnel
through the Sierra at a much lower
level than the present Central route.
in order to overcome the expense, and
the traffic difficulties of the tremen
dous climb over a barrier 7000 feet
high.
Beckwourth pass is 2000 feet Iowpi-
than the Southern Pacific passage of
tne bierra, and is below the snow
line; but to reach and use this miss.
the Gould system, with its network
of 20,000 miles of transcontinental
tracks to Harriman's 15.000 miles.
has not spared expense. The West
ern Pacific is boring forty-three tun
nels, making an aggregate of 45,000
feet, or eight and a half miles of un
derground cut-offs. The longest is
the Spring Garden tunnel beyond
Oroville, which Is to be 7200 feet.
Then comes the Beckwourth tunnel,
6000 feet; the Flower Lake tunnel
over in Nevada, 5664 feet, and the
next the Niles Canyon tunnel, 4000
feet.
Between San Francisco and Winne-
mucca, Nev., the Southern Pacific has
a line sixty-three miles shorter than
the Western Pacific route, but th
Western Pacific will save a climb of
2000 feet, and claims that with its
easier grade it will be able to make a
passenger train run in the same time
with only one engine, where th
Southern Pacific will have to use two,
and epend twice as much for operat
ing expenses. But it is In freight
hauls that the Western Pacific ex
pects to score its great saving. It will
be able to pull the biggest possible
freight trains with only one engine.
The valley land about Beckwourth
pjss now produces hay only, but it
Is said to be capable of good agricul
tural crops if water can be broueht
npon the land.

success will be repeated.
