D. Lane of Denver. "But as J understand it, they lose and win counters, not real monev. although Ihey do have to settle up with the cash if thev get the wrong end of the deal. n A man of my acquaintance last winter win-ter had an experience that has any of those Wall street affairs beaten a city block. His name is William Kennedy, though those who call him 'Bill' know him bv no other name. He is a big prospector in Nevada. ITe actually lost $05,000 and in au hour got it back again. It wasn't stolen from him. cither none of that road agent business. busi-ness. He just lost it as you might lose a $5 bill on the sidewalk. Thrilling Experience. "Kcnnedv, with a couple of companions, compan-ions, started from the Round Mountain mine to Goldfield in au automobile. On the tonneau was gold dust which was . 1 valued at $200,000. The duet was in small sacks, such as are usually used for the transportation of the precious metal. They sent the machine along at a pretty lively speed and were enjoying themselves pretty well. None of them i was worried about tho safety of the : treasure they were carrying. 'Parts of! the road from tho mine to Goldfield are , not what you could call a racing track. The' bumped and jolted a good deal, but nobody minded that. Thev were getting along pretty well towards Gold-field, Gold-field, when one of the meu looked Into the toncau and counted the sacks in a perfunctory sort of a way. Thou there , was trouble. "Three of the sacks v.'ore missing, i jThcv contained $G5,000 worth of gold. Maybe you think they didn't get busy.) Kennedy turned that machine around in i a place where he wouldn't have! dreamed of. attempting it if he had been on a pleasure trip, t-'rom what i heard of that run hack, it would have &hown up well in the Vanderbilt cup race. The auto was shot over bumps without regard for the comfort of the occupants. Tt whs probably tho most hair-raising ride that over was taken in Nevada, Xobodv had the foresight to lime it, but Kennodv afterwards said he was sure they were going 100 miles a minute. If you could accept, this estimate, es-timate, you would discover that they made the trip in a few seconds, for they had to go just twenty miles before they found the tirst sack. "The rest of the run was made with the same speed, and the other two sacks iverp picked up in the road a few miles further back. Kvidentb they had been jolted out of the tonneau when tho machine ma-chine hit the high spots." Auto Versus Locomotive. "Now thai the auto has succeeded in driving 1 lie horse out. of business in many parts of Hie couulrv, it seems to have tackled the railroad question," remarked O. .1. Milwrighr. of .Sacramento. .Sacramen-to. Cal. " It 's Irue," he insisted, "that thev have begun tho construction of an automatic railroad, and may have finished fin-ished it bv this time, for all I know, in central California. The railroad rum or is to inn from Stone Canyon, an isolated iso-lated mining town, to Chauslor. a cJis-tiiure cJis-tiiure of about twenty-live miles. One of the auto cars for the line, had boon purchased sonic months ago. II. is a six-wheel six-wheel affair, the extra pair of wheels extending in front of the hood. Theso wheels have cast-iron rims, provided with linages inatead of rubber tires. This car holds seven passengers. Tho promoters of the line estimated that a car could make the trip easily within au hour. Tho comitrv which is traversed by this auto Hue is arid and of no uso for farming. There are mauy mines in the lerritorv, however, and the scheme, 1 was told, contemplated tho extension of spurs from the little main lino to the mines along Hie wav. When the project of connecting Slono Canyon with Chaimlor was first considered, tho const ruction of a steam railroad and the building of a macadam roadway were among the plana discussed. liach was abandoned on account of tho ex-prnne ex-prnne involved. Heavy rails, a locomotive locomo-tive or two and the ear equipment would mean a small fortune. To bnibi a good macadam road across some of tlte sandv stretches also would cost, vast funis of money." |
