Zinc ores are the least abundant Of any
of the coarser metals found in the United
States, and yet the supply is considerably in
excess of the demand. The zines of Mis-
souri, and Illinois are not looked upon rs
offering great inducements for profit, and
the New Jersey zines are scarcely known
in a distinctive way. In short the Lehigh
zinc mines furnish one-half ofthe annual con-
sumption of the country. They were opened
in 1858, and are now supplying ore for an
annual product of 5000 tons of oxide of
zinc, 5000 tons of metallic zinc, and 1900
casks ofsheet zinc. These ores are very
rich and pure, and exist in large solid de-
posits. One deposit is being worked which
is %, 900 feet SO uare. and IS feet deep. 1t
measures Il cubic feet to the ton. 1t is
mined at a depth varing from 175 to 300
feet, and there seems to be no doubt but
that the supply will last many years.

THE UNION PACIFIC WAR.
A Tale of Two Cities.

OMAHA, March 2I.-In consequence of
the hesitancy of the Iowa roads to ignore
the plainly Illegal act of the Iowa Legisla-
ture, prohibiting the transfer of freight and
passengers to Nebraska roads, the Union
Pacific road has Temporarily leased the
bridge and transfer to the highest bidder,
Geo. w. Hamon, Jr., of this city. By this
intermediate agency the Eastern roads will
evade the Iowa act, and deliver freight and
passengers 10 the Union Pacific and other
roads here until the matter is permanently
settled upon the basis established by the
Union Pacific in its contract with Omaha.
The Other Side.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, March 21.-A tele-
gram received in this city from Senator Har-
Ian, from Washington, states that the Union
PacItlc directors have acquiesced in the de-
cislOn OF the Government directors that
Council Bluffs, and not Omaha, is the legal
terminus of the Union Pacific, but it az
pears that on account of the contract with
Omaha two transfers will be made, one
here and one in Omaha.
A great many are of opinion that the
question of terminus will have to go to the
Federal Courts for final adjustment.
The case of Crane vs.. the Union Pacific
Railroad, pending before Judge Love on
motion to set aside condemnation Of
ground for right of way in this city, was
dismissed on motion of the attorneys for
the railroad company-frst, because con-
domination of right Of way was for a side
track mile from the main track; second,
because the railroad no longer needed the
grouno. There was, therefore, no question
concerning the terminus, nor any other
question decided by Judge Love in that
case, Omaha papers and kilograms to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The passenger and freight platforms of
the Union Pacific in this city will be COM
pleted this evening or early tomorrow.
Trains will cross the bridge Monday. In
the meantime the transfer boats are doing
excellent service in the transfer of freight
and passengers, so that Eastern men need
not fear any delay.
