In the first place, he was suspected because he had been locating many strangers In the mountains, either iirwr. hnmeateads or upon timber claims. It was ascertained that Johnson had lo r.tnl Perdue and the first location was a timber filing. The filing, however, did not suit Perdue, and for some reason It was dropped at the Land Office.

Van Cleave, president of the National As sociation of Manufacturers, today Is sued an answer to a recent reply by W. J.

For the past three days scores of section men in the employ of the Southern PacVTIo Company on the Palisade division in Ne vada have been at work trying to prevent the caving of the big tunnel of that com pany near Palisade. The tunnel Is 309 feet or more In length and cost more than $150,000 to complete. Last year the West ern Pacific started a tunnel 60 feet to the south of the Southern Pacific. This was recently completed, 1 and now It Is known that the blasting has practically shaken the entire mounjaln, which ls now elpwly sliding Into the Humboldt Rlv.er. Big Umbers in the Southern Pacific tun nel are being slowly crushed like so much matchwood, and unless a means of com bating the' slide ls determined upon it may necessitate the company abandoning the tunnel. A thousand men and twice as many horses and mules were placed at work along the Western Pacific Railroad In this State yesterday, and, from now on the line will be rushed to completion. For nearly a year operations have been practically at a standstill In this state. The grade has been completed from Salt Lake to a point near Elko, while from this enfl the grading has reached a com paratively short distance. Work west ward will continue now until completed.

"Thornton Hains still stood with His weapon in his hand and for a time re fused to surrender it. Moans "You Have Made Mistake." "Annls, who was moaning faintly, stretched out on the float, turned to Peter Haines and said: 'Captain, you have made a horrible mistake.'
