THE MANITOBA RAILWAY.
1t Is Coming to Wood River Before
Fall.

II Is coming 10 WOOD Kiser Before
Fail.
The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune of the Goth instant was not
entirely unexpected; yet it seems too
good to be true:
The Salt Lake railroad world has
been prepared for surprises, but it is
doubtful if it ever dreamed that the
first new railroad into Salt Lake
would be the Manitoba. Blu: this is
the way it looks now. Those who
know Manager Hill give him credit
for being the greatest railroad rustler
in the country, though the fact that he
intends to extend the Manitoba sys.
tenn to Salt Lake and Los Angeles
has not been thought of before, and is
only Just leaking out. Mr.. Hill had
an agent in town a few days ago
looking the field over, and no kept so
very quiet and framed his questions
in such an artless, child-like aud
bland manner, as though asking merely
to satisfy thirst for general intorma.
ton, that the real object Of his mission
was not Immediately understood.
The Manitoba will be in Butte by
June 10. Thence Manager Hill in
tends paralleling the Utah and North
ern to the south side Of Red Rock
Mountains, branching off then to the
southwest. Crossing the Snake River
desert to the junction of Snake River
and Goose Creek, the line crosses the
Central Pacific at Lucin whence the
main line continues on southwesterly
through the Deep Creek mining dis
trict and toward Los Angeles as
straight S the nature Of the country
will allow. At or near Lucin station
on the Central Pacific Railroad, a
branch will diverge to the south
east around the south shore
of the lake into Salt Lake
City. Just when the extension from
Butte begins deponent sayeth not, but
it is certain that when man like
Manager Hill starts in on any project
he will push it for all it is worth; and
with the Wood River miners praying
for relief from the exactions of the
Union Pacific, and the grand farming
districts that this new line will have
tributary, yet unocoupied, it may be
assumed that the delay will be no
greater than is absolutely necessary.
This extension will bring into Salt
Lake ores that are now going to
Denver and Omaha, and the "delcate
and finely balanced rates" of the
Union Pacific system will have to be
made all over again, and on lower
basis. 1t will be great gala day
when the Manitoba road enters Sal,
Lake. 1t will force the Pacific roads
in here direct, and may induce
the Union Pacific to build Wood
River air line to save its trade there
from serious injury.

a general revival of trade at j. A. Ru-

their customers of so many free trial

enormous in this very valuable article

THE KING OF THE WEST,
ANOTHER SMOKY PROPERTY THAT
Is PROVED A NINE.
A Concentrating Mill to be Bullt there
at Once and Regular Dividends to be
Declared Soon Thereafter.

~ V"co "uu Regular Dividends to be
Declared Soon Thereafter.
The new concentrating works or.
dered for the King Of the West group
of mines, in Smoky. will be shipped
from Salt Lake City by Friday or
Saturday Of this week. 1t will have
all the most improved appliances, in
Guiding two sets of Col. Wallis rolls,
and will be loaded on broad gauge
cars and billed by way of Granger,
in order to save transferring over the
narrow gauge cars. If no accident
happens to delay the machinery will
reach here about the 18th of Nav,
when it will be at once hauled to the
mine.
Next Monday men will be put to
work grading for the mill, and as
soon as this work is Efficiently ad.
vanced the carpenters will begin
erecting the buildings, in order to
have them ready by the time the
machinery is received. A month
later Tor by the 18th of June) the
mill should be ready to run; but, as
there will doubtless be several un.
avoidable delays. the first of July
may prove nearer the correct date.
AT any rate, by the Fourth of July a
load or more of the ore may be looked
for in HALEY, without fail.
The mill will have capacity of so
tons per day; but it will be easy to
keep it going. In fact the mine is
so we'll opened that it is stated bv
competent judges that there is enough
ore in sight to keep the mill going
two years. The workings have now
been extended to the 40O-level every
part OF the openings being connected
by shafts, inclnes, upraises, VIM es.
etc. Even the shutes are in place,
ready to dump ore in, and Foreman
Joe Somers is confident of being able
to supply the mill with ore by employ.
ing only 10 men. The openings on
each level average about 800 feet in
length. When desired every man in
the mine can therefore be put to
Stopping ore, and the amount extracted
can be increased to 200 tons per day.
The ore will, it is expected, concen
trate four or five tons into one that
will carry from 200 TO 800 ounces of
silver per ton. The net product of
clean, first-class shipping ore will
therefore be from 10 to IL tons per
day.
AS depth has been attained in the
mine, the ore vein has proven much
stronger, wider, better defined, and
improving in every way. The grade
has also proven better, the ore on the
400 level being fully twice as valu-
able as that on the 2OO-level and
above. The ore vein averages three
feet in width, but the fertile seams
do not occupy over two thirds of
this.
The company is entirely free from
debt, even the cost of purchasing and
erecting the machinery being provi.
ded for by assessment; so that divi.
dends can be declared as soon as the
mill gets to running regularly.

The new comet is just visible to

ATTACHMENTS FILED AGAINST THE PROPERTY
OF THE LEAD KING


Chicago Oct I9.-The failure of the attempt By the
biggest lead firm In the world Nathan Corwith a Co..

circles here The attachments filed In the local courts

general wsy 1t is known that the liabilities Of the
firm are at least SO 900 600 This amount, however.
has reference solely TO the recent purchases incudng
the October delivery, and merchants Interested In the
trade believe that even the amount of $2OOO,OOo
will be exceeded. The assets Of the firm in this city
consist Of conslgnments of pig lead in different waro
houses amounting, far known, only to about
S15 600 In value. The legal transactions known so

Superior Court by the Union National Bank; replevn

Chicago and Aurora Smelling Company for $4,000.
The announcement OF a land transfer from Nathan
Corwin to j. b. Trevor the consideration being $4,000
was followed last night by the first suit In attachment
Mr. Corwiths transfers OF record for two days were
1926 900, and coming on the eve Of the attachment
suits have given rise to considerable talk The fact
that the first transfer to J. b. Trevor, Of Yonk
ers N y the second to the heirs of estate about
which little is known, and the third to Colgate
Trevor, also of Yonkers, has mad anything but a
quieting effect among the old friends OF the Cor
withs, who arc slow 10 believe that there can be
anything wrong in these transactions. There does
not seem TO be for great apprehension. The
Sheriff to-day attached at least half million In
real estate, which 1t Is thought will be ample pro
lection.
The firm of Corwith & Co. was started thirty years
ago. and Nathan Corwith, ST., has been identified
with the leading interests Of the United
States during his entire business career
He was known the Lead King
His son, Gordon a member Of the firm, was

and a dashing about town, besde,. Last year
the firm met with heavy losses, owing to decline
of 81 a ton in lead. Their losses then are said
to have aggregated 100000. This year, prior TO
the beginning of the present disastrous DEAL their
losses, 1t Is estimated, figured up S25O0OO. The
futile purchases for the corner are thought to exceed
100000 and to carry this load the firm paid higher
for commercial paper.
