Union Pacific Coal.

New Northwest: Samuel Word, ESQ,
stopped in town a few hours Tuesday, en-
route to Bozcman. He says experiments
with coke from the Maxey mine have, as'
far as made, been entirely satisfactory.
The Union Pacific appears to have ac-
quircd very valuable coal interests on the
line of the Northern Pacific, 1t SO falling
out that the desirable discoveries SO far
are nearly or quite all on even-numbered
sections, thus enabling the Union Pacific
to acquire them. We believe the North
ern Pacific is now using coal ON its loco
motives purchased from the Union Pacific
mines. We learn from other sources that
Mr.. Word is entitled to the credit with the
U. P. Co., of working up and securing its
valuable coal interests near BOzcman.

The Snake Ri,er Placers.


Boise Statesman: Mr.. Chcesbro, who
was largely interested until recently in
placer milling on Snake river, has sold his
interest to company of Rhode Island cap
italists, who will work these mines on an
extensive scale. The Company intends to
build dam across Snake river ut a point
some nine miles above Walters ferry and
construct bitches on both sidesof the river.
The mining ground which Mr.. Checsbro
sold lies on the south side of the river just
below the Silver City stage road and near
the ferry; but the bitches to be construc
ted will cover mining ground on each side
of the river from their initial points to the
ferry and for several miles below. Mr.
Chcesbro informs us that the method now
being adopted for saving fine gold in these
placers is to abandon the use of plates and
quicksilver and leave the gold with the
black sand. This is done by the usual
process of washing and the use Of concen-
traitors. The black sand, thus concentra-
ted. holds every particle of gold and will
average for most of the claims ON the river
about 81, 900 per ton.
