JAY GOULD WANTS IRON
The modern railroad monarch, Jay Gould,
Is reported TO be inclined To bulldoze the st
Louis chief, Thomas Allen, Of the Iron
Mountain. Tho Wabash. ST. Louis q
Pacific road has long desired TO reach the iron
ore region ofMssouri, and Gould approached
Allen some time since for favorable terms.
Allen held of for bigger figures, and Jay not
being satisfied TO "raise," bought up the
nne-mile line known as the "Sycamorc 81
Cortland road" on the cast side Of the Missis-
sipp, running from East st. Louis to Caron-
dclet, where it connects by steam ferry with
the Vulcan Iron works, and via the Iron
Mountain and Atlantic and Pacific roads with
the spectrum ore region of Southwest Mis-
souri, This road has been feeding the
Wabash system with iron ore for some time
past, and vast quantities have already been
shipped over it eastward to Pittsburg and
other points. The immediate effect Of this
purchase will be either TO force Mr..
Allen 10 bring the Iron Mountain road into
direct relations with the Wabash system
under an equitable working arrangement, or
to build at great expense connection with
st. Louis Union depot along the ridge near
Shaw's garden and around ST. Louis county.
In anticipation of this contingency specula-
tors have already bought up the adjoining
land and are holding it for higher prices
The Sycamore and Cortland road runs be-
tween these two towns, fraction over four
miles.
