Clark Pushes New York Meeting as Rail Line Faces Takeover
San Pedro Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railway chief W A Clarke calls stockholders to a New York meeting on July 7. He aims to pressure Harriman and thwart a Southern Pacific attempt to seize control, warning of diverting Montana mine tonnage to the Northern Pacific. Copper ore shipments from Montana now move via Barre and the Oregon Short Line, a key export for the line. Southern Nevada grows as an agricultural area with Muddy Valley farmers selling peas onions cauliflower and lettuce to Salt Lake markets. Shipments from the new route include melons, and Texas melon prospects are awaited.

License Fees for Reno Prize Fight Highlight Preliminaries
Attorney General James G. Sweeney ruled that a $1000 main event license does not cover preliminaries for the Root Hart heavyweight bout set for Reno on July 3. The decision aligns with a Carson City ruling after Corbett and Firesim mons fought there, which required separate $1000 licenses for preliminaries. Ninety percent of a prize fight house revenue goes to the State Treasury, ten percent to the hosting county. A note on Wadsworth’s revival and mining district activity follows a report of a machine tampering incident in Hawthorne, where two men exploited a broken slot machine to win the $10 pot.
