New Tariffs Cut Rail Rates to Revive Nevada Miners
The U S Smelting Company and the Nevada Central Railroad announce a sliding scale for ore transport costs. Rates drop from a $4 minimum to as low as $1 per ton for ore valued at $10 or less, with graduated charges for higher values. No charge for unprofitable low value ore. The change aims to revive the once thriving central camp and reemploy mills abandoned due to high costs.
