A. R. McRae, receiver of the Chemung lease in Masonic, announced he will turn the mine back to the newly organized company within ten days.

Decker pumps water from his shaft and will start immediate development work this summer. C. M. Keeley reportedly sold three dams last week. Bridgeport Union.

Railroad time change proposed by Southern Pacific
The Southern Pacific Company informs the Public Service Commission it is considering a new timetable for San Francisco to Lake Tahoe Reno and Goldfield service. The plan would depart San Francisco at 8 00 am arrive Sacramento 11 40 am Reno 8 20 pm providing daylight runs to Tahoe and Reno and a single night en route to Goldfield. Vorster of Tonopah and Goldfield urges a dawn schedule change to Goldfield 7 30 or 8 00 am and a daylight run to Reno to ease patron hardship. Ardrey of Virginia and Truckee proposes restoring No 180 from Wabaska to Mound House arriving 4 40 pm Reno 6 30 pm. The Commission finds the suggested schedules reasonable but must follow section 361-2 Public Service Law to notify the public and receive protests.
