The Former Interviews the Lntter On ting
Subject of Silver Mining.
co7resDondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
On the question OF Western mining, Mr. Hor-
ace White, who has been through that country,
gave some interesting information:
*sThe Leadville mining district In Colorado
will hare $4,000 people living upon it before
next fall; in Chicago found that every other
man WAS taxing an interest out there Mr.
Letter, the Healthiest merchant In Chicago, wss
paying visit to Colorado for his health, when
he came to an excavation that had bean mada
BY Mr.. Stevens, who offered to sell one-han
the mine to Mr.. Letter for 0,000. Letter
thought he could afford to lose that amount,
and he bought s500, 600. He will take s1,00o,-
600 cut OF it. understand that this mine,
called the "Iron Nine" Is like Senator Chat
fees mine, the Little Pittsburg. They ara both
believed to be the trus dssure veins going tu-
ward the centre Of the earth, Whlla most OF tha
other mines IN that region seem to be over
flows from those assures. The Leadville dis
trict is composed OF an ore which Is smelted."
Mr.. White said of the newly elected Senator,
Hill, OF Colorado: II am told that his political
prominence partly arose from his contest With
Lindsey, one OF the Democratic aspirants for
Governor: Hill had large smelling works at
Central City, and Lindsley's railroad conceived
the plan Of taking his profits BY raiaing the
frciehts on the ores. Hill said that in such 4
case be would take up his mill and move It to
Denver. The railroad men replied that Hill
couldn't afford it. Nevertheless, be did take up
his large works and stamp and shipped the
whole to Denver, where they now are. It re-
jotced the Denver people, and was factor IN
bis election to the Senate"
As to the {ailu.e OF the Bonanza Mines, Mr..
White said: :. am told that at one time Seua-
tor Jones, Of Nevada, WAS 81 ,ooo, GOO ahead 10

THE RAILROADS.


TIE EAST-1OUND POOL.
There is a general belief that the roads from
indianapolis, st. Louis, ETC., have cut the East
bound rates, not because they hare found that
the Chicago roads had been violating the tariff,
but because they want to ''bu!ldoze" the Chi
cago roads into forming all East-bound pool
also. II this is their intention they will soon
find out that The Chicago roads are still backed In
stitut1ous, and cannot be forced into an arrange
lnent that does not suit their tastes They will
agree upon percentages and form the pool as
soou as they are ready, and not a moneEt sooner
The true inwardnes5 OF the indianapolis and St.
Louis roads can best be seen from the following
FROM yesterdays indianapolis Journal:
Had the General Managers OF the trunk lines
little OF the snap that tie Western railroad men
have, they would meet, and in ten minutes could
select an arbitrator for the Chicago roads. Their
hesitation IN the matter is not only jeopardlzins
the pools now existing, but is as we'll seriously
reducing the earnings Of the leading rai!ways Of
tue country, 30 low are rates.
The General Managers OF the trunk lines hare
all the "snap" that is necessary, but tile Pres
idents Of the trunk lines arc also the Presidents
OF all the lines leading East from Chicago, and
they arc not willing to take any action contrary
to their own interests. As to loW rates it is
only necessary to state that they are as high as
The present prices OF goods and products
will warrant, and it they we're higher
in store until the opening OF navigation. The
present rates are certainly better than what the
roads will get when the vessels begin to COM
pete. An East-bound pool during tine summer
might be a nice thing for the indianapolis and
St. Louis roads, which have no lake competf-
ton, but for the Chicago roads it will never do,
unless they mean to cut their own throats.

The New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad
has consu,nmatel its plans Tor the construction
Of the monster elevator at Jersey City, un.l
work will at once be commenced. Tile new
structure will have frontage Of ninety feet on
the North River, and it will be 304 icet in length
and 15U feet In hight Its cost will be in the
neirhhorhood of SS00, 900, and its total capacity
for storage OF grain will be 1,5o0,000 bushels.
The elevator will be bordcrcd on the north side
by q long and deep canal, with sufficient width
to admit the free passage OF the largest ocean
steamship.
The managers of the Western railroads ad-
NIT that they have been offering inducements to
shippers to Glenn out their elevators in order to
get more storage-room. They say. they have
been doing this to assist the Eastern roads to
get this business, which otherwise will remain
uuiesccnt until the opening of navigation. AS
far As they are concerned they expect to ret
the business any wav wnen navigation opens
II the present thaw continues few days longer
the ice ia the river will break up, and the YES
sells can be moved to the elevators and loaded,
which will greatly relieve the elevators, as there
are vessels enough in the river to store about
200 bushels OF grain.
