A five-mile standard gauge railroad carries the finished product from Empire to the main line of the Western Pacific at Gerlach, the company preferring to build and maintain its own spur. This swBching will be done by gasoline propelled locomotives. Electric power for the entire plant is generated by Diesel engines of two thousand horsepower, oil being the fuel used. The company maintains a large laboratory, where hourly tests are made of the product and where experimental work is conducted regularly. A community hotel for the employes, as modern and up-to-date as any could be constructed, is maintained, while bungalows, com pletely equipped are maintained for the officials and the married men.

There is a community hall for motion picture shows and a radio set is being installed for their amusement. The company also has built a hospital for us men and a physician and surgeon is always stationed there. Water is obtained from a number of pure mountain sprinss five miles from the plant. To Close Mound House Past records of the company show that the gypsum and plaster dust is not injurious to the employes, but really a benefit, it was stated, and there are said to be few cases of sick ness at such a plant. All of the com pany's labor will be employed through Keno The plant of this company at Mound House will be dismantled, work of tearing it down to begin shortly, and those who have been employed at Mound House may have work at the new plant if they wish to move.

This is only one of several plants operated by the company, there being one in the Imperial Valley, and two cement plants in that state, one at Ce ment and one near Redwood City, where an old bed of oyster whells is being utilized in manufacturing cement. Built Road to Gerlach Washoe county, carrying out a promise to the company officials to build a shorter road between the plant and Beno. now is working on this cut off. which will run from the northern end of Pyramid Lake, by -way of Sheep Pass into Gerlach. It is likely, it was fwiid Saturday, that this road will bo extended across the old lake-bed' between Gerlach and Empire.

Gerlach merchants are anxious for this additional stretch of road and only weather conditions may hold it up until next spring. Banquet Enjoyed Robert B. Henderson, president of the company, presided at the banquet Saturday afternoon, at company officials, stockholders, railroad men and Aevadans were uests.

Swallow, former district at-tornej; of Esmeralda county and at one time mentioned for the Democratic congressional nomination in Nevada, is in the center of the storm that is ragrins from Los Angeles to Bishop over the dynamiting of the Los Anseles aqueduct in the Owens river valley last -week. Swallow is a resident of Bishop, CaL, where he is practicing law with Robert Richards, formerly of Reno and at one time as-sistnt attorney general of Nevada.

According to dispatches sent from Los Angeles, Swallow was closely questioned Saturday as to the participation of ranchers In the Owens valley in the dynamiting. Swallow stated that he and Mr. Richards were attorneys for a large number of the ranchers but declared that in his opinion the offense was committed by unknown' radicals and not by ranchers who were inflamed over the removal of Owens river to the city of" Los Angeles. Notwithstanding Swallow's emphatic statements the special officers from Loa Angeles detailed upon the case allege that they now have the names of approximately twenty ranchers who have knowledge of the affair and that arrests will be made. The investigating officials stated that Swallow was questioned along with a number ot other prominent residents of Inyo county solely for information, and not because they were of the opinion that he knew the names of those involved, Sheriff Collins of Inyo county was also questioned.

It is alleged that I Collina" automobile was one of those used by, the dynamiters. According to the reports given out the car was taken without Collins' knowledge from a. garage where it was being reiaired. i Swallow is widely known in South ern Nevada where he was prominent in politics for many years. A few years ago he removed to Inyo county and opened law offices.

Later he was joined by E. L. Richards, formerly of Reno. The Los Angeles officials state that the federal government will join in the Investigation because the blast destroyed the telephone lines connecting Nevada and California, thereby rupting interstate communication.

"earet Dillon makes good reading. B. Coxe of Paoli, who has a big farm on ihe Main Line near Philadelphia, raised Margaret Dillon. When she was given a little training, Margaret showed a tendency to pace, and Mr. Coxe' is a strong exponent of trotters.

So Margaret was sold to J. Kernan, of Narberth, as a yearling for something like $100. But Kernan knew she was bred well, hav ing as her sire Dillon Axworthy wm.ha record of i as a three- k.ea;j old.

STEEL COALWOO USANCES "Wheels began to turn Saturday in Pacific Tortland Cement Company's new $1,500,000 plant near Ger-lach, four of six huge kettles began to "cook" the raw gypsum that is quarried five miles from the manufacturing plant and the Reno agent for the company arranged to have delivered to this city this week, the first commercial carload of finished plaster from new plant. Plant Called Empire Those who planned and who built big industrial plant call the company town "Empire." Their visions saw the building of an empire was possible from the deposit of twenty million tons of gypsum which lie in the mountains south of Gerlach.

and realizing that at least one hundred years would be necessary to move it and manufacture it into necessities, they gave it the name of "Empire." Incidentally the product bears that same name. "Gyp" is the name given the plant residents of Gerlach and men who have been employed for more than a year in construction. It is easier for them to say "Gyp" than "Empire" and them the names are of little or no significance. Built for Future The following quotation from Bus kin, printed at the head of the com- souvenir program of the oihmi- ing. probably gives the vision of the men who builded the plant better than could any effort to describe such vision: "Therefore, when we build, let us think that we build forever.

At the scene the deposit, or quarry, there is. machinery which makes dust at one stroke of boulders as large as an ordinary office desk. With its first crushing the gypsum is automatically loaded into buckets with fifteen hundred pounds capacity each and taken by aerial tramway five miles over the mountains clown to the plant. There it is dumped without having to take thQ, hkci fupm fable. Fifteen hundred pounds of the product are dumped at the plant every ninety seconds.

From the dump the gypsum passes by belt conveyor into the plant where undergoes further crushing until it is as fine as flour, thence through the cookers and when cooked it Is distributed to some dozen huge concrete tanks which resemble grain elevators. From these storage tanks the plaster is sacked automatically, even the sacks being automatically sewed. The company officials estimate a production of five hundred tons a dav.
