Tne Coal Famine

AS stated this mornings Major
Swanson responded yesterday al Inc
raouest of the Board OF TRADE
and had forty or fifty tons left at the Union
dspot last night by trains going down But
here another difficulty had TO he met, the Zen
tral switeh-englne was out of order ana IL
could not be hauled to tho DOWN Town
depot until a late nour in the afternoon bet-
ter late tn an nevir. There were five carloads
of II and enough to supply a barrel apiece
around 10 those who use coal, or aDouI sum
cient to keep the town ifom HeoZihB
until Monday, if close economy Is
used. This teaches us Lesson which
should not DO forgotten. It is use
less to depend upon present resources Tor
this city. The MsAllistor people say they have
the stock, bus.eannot get the cars. The Cen
trail railroad and the M, Il. & 7 first help
themselves and then hslp the people. The
result ia wolhave. been left to fres2s hall the
time oil, keep warm upon wood. There IL no
prospects at prstentof doing any better dur
ing the balance of the winter. Where to turn
to for relief lshsrd to tell. Perhaps coal can
be obtained on the Iron Mountain and shipped
hsro.
1t weald be well to look Into the matter.
We must havga supply from some source or
other. Every institution in iowa run by
coal is suspended.
When the coal did arrive at last, at 3 p, Ri,
there was mob, OF vehicles around tho office

at 1O.'oclock this morning Vice-Presldent
Taylor, Of the N. Il. AR. II. n. G. r. :" met
dozen or more promlnet members otthe. Asoatd
of Trade. Mr. John stone on the part
of the Board and the city, welcomed Colonel
Taylor to the rooms and saiu "Dallas WAS
anxious to have his line extended from us
present terminus at GIeenvllle TO It's corpo-
rate limits lie would say fer the Board and
our citizens that they would give his road all
the patronage within their power and any
aid they could. He regretted that up to the
present moment Dallas had not taken that
formal notice Of his important road she should
have done, (which was nobcdy's fault,
but he wBs glad he had tho
opportunity now to say that we wanted the
road, and wanted 1t badly, and would welcome
it to our city.
Colonel Taylor responded that he was in the
city by accident, but was glad to meet the
Board of Trade. AS to the East Line, 1t had
been completed frSm Jefferson TO Greenville,
and paid for. The company did not owe q
dollar of floating debt. Its only obligation
was Fix per cont. per annum to Its stocShold-
ers. Half of the road belonged TO six of us,
inc QUIET nail ~ Nolohol iNh '~o'NNt Va
his NV. X. Scott. but Colonel Scott rarely
ever had-anythlng TO say about building or
running 1t, leaving that pretty much to The
other six owners. They had ample capital to
extend u anywhere they wanted to. He and
ths other five were In favor OF building at least
branch from Greenville to Dallas and per-
haps would do so next year. He knew the inn
portaneS OF Dallas as y railroad center and
was not only in favor Of building to Dallas,
but extending it to Cleburne. lie
did not know Colonel Scotts views
upon the matter, blu. supposed he would favor
extending the main lire through McKin ey
to Denton and beyond and perhaps the COM
pany would agree with him, but he thought
there would be no serious objection to building
the Dallas branch from any one owning stock
In the r6ad Col. Taylor tnsn entered into
general conversation with the gentlemen
present. The matter Of putting down third
rail TO Grsenville in conjunction with the
Chicago Texas & MsXicln Central was NELL
toned, and Colonel Taylor received the
proposition favorably. The Mexican CSntra
had representative present, who listen cd at
tentlvely to all that was said, but did OF I'D
vance any views or opinions of his own.
ColoRsl Taylor made lne Impression upon
the sEsard present, who we're some of thu
largest merchants In town, and made then

The Cost of transportation and Re-
filming.

inning.
From Mr.. J. r. Kendall we yesterday
learned something abont the cost of ship
ping and refining base bullion. While in
the East Mr.. Kendall visited the Balback
works at Newark. N. J. The freight is S64
per ton from Palisade to Newark. and the
charge at Balback's for separating is Sl4,
with a discount Of 8 ozs. on silver. For
the same class of freight the Central Pacific
charges $40 so from Palisade to San Fran
cisco, and the Selby Works exact $40 a ton
for separating, with a discount on silver OF
5 ozs. The difference in freight makes the
markets almost equal. On, lead from
which the silver has been extracted, the
Central Pacific charges from Palisade to
San Francisco SIG a ton, claiming the dif-
ference of 81 SO per ton, on account OF the
greater value Of the cargo and consequent
risk. as between pure lead and silver-lead
bullion. 1t is q distinction without a dlf-
ference. The freight Of the two classes is
precisely the same. There is not a particle
more risk incurred in carrying one kind
than the other.
Thieves are no more apt to steal lead bull
lion with the silver in it than they are to
steal the pure lead. In fact there Is not
one man in a thousand who can distinguish
between the two classes. As this Is the
only risk that the railroad can possibly run
we do not see why they cannot as well
afford to transport silver-lead for $40 as re-
| fined lead for that figure.
In this connection We hear that the rail-
road has threatened to advance the rates
to $40. so on the Richmond lead. shouid
the threat be carried out It Is among the
probabilities that the Richmond VIII sns-
pend the shipment of refined lead Tor some

CorIecunw = Board BiII.

A clearinghouse keeper on Ruby Hill
yesterday dunned one Of his customers for
a months board. and was told by the debt
or that all he had left out Of his months
wages was $40, and he wanted that to play
faro with. Accordingly he came down here
and commenced "b~ucking." The boarding
house man soon followed him, and found
his man with a pretty healthy stack OF red
checks. He then went to Judge Cromer's
office and commenced o suit against the
debtor, and the papers were soon in the
hands OF officer German. who immediately
rushed over to the gambling house, and
found his man changing the checks into
gold. amounting to some $500. The officer,
watching his opportunity. snatched the
whole pile, at the same time showing his
papers into the mans face. After a little
side talk the matter was amicably settled
by the debtor paying the whole amount
Of the board bill and costs.

Chicago as a Mining Market.

Chicago is bidding strong for a share in
the mining business Of the West. The
"Review' asserts that the capitalists OF the
Lake City are fully alive to the great i'm
p~ortance OF the mining industry, and will
ling to invest their money to aid in its de-
velopment. Says the Review"
One OF the most important lines Of bust
ness in Chicago to-day. though last to APP
pear on the scene is that growing out OF
mining transactions. Within the past two
years, from nothing, this business has
grown quietly and yet rapidly into the
prominence it now holds, until Chicago is
well known as one OF the best markets for
the purchase aud sale Of mines and mining
property in the country. Not only has it
become a market, but its citizens and cap
i~talists generally have rsade permanent in
vestments. to a greater or less extent in
mines, and Chicago capital and energy may
be found in the mining camps OF nearly
every mineral-bearing State and Territory.

Question and answer.

EpIroR SENTINEL Can an alien get his
citizen papers at the first application? An
swer and oblige, JAMES STEVENS.
He can get full citizen-papers at one APP
plication if he came to the United States
under IS years Of age. If over IS, he can
not be admitted to citizenship on the first
application. In hat case he must first de-
clare his intention to become q citizen.
This he may do the first day he lands, If
he likes. The Clerk Of the Court gives
him a certificate which guarantees the is
suance of his final papers, five years later,
if he behaves himself as a good law abiding
citizen in the meantime.

HAMILTON, March 6.-Word has been re-
ceived from the relief party that went out
TO the snow slide. The bodies of the mis-
sing men have not been discovered, and
there is but little hope that they will be
until the snow disappears. The avalanche
covers so large an area that it is the merest
chance if the bodies are found before
Spring. The snow fills the canyon to an
average depth of about Is feet for a dis
lance of 200 yards. Owing to the great
pressure it is very hard and difficult to
shovel without picking. A large force of
men are working steadily and hard, but at
latest accounts had discovered no indica-
ions leading to the locality of the buried
men. The search will be continued for
some days. Other parties will 60 out at
once to assist those already on the ground.
