TO BE BUILT AT ONCE.

Arrangements Perfected by Which the Min
eraI Wells Road is Secured.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEX, April 17.-Final ar
engagements were closed up here to-day by
which the Weatherford, Mineral Wells and
Northwestern railroad to the coal field, fifteen
miles northwest of here, will be completed at a
very early date. All arrangements for money
with which to build the road
and operate the coal mines have
been made between President 1. r. Stone of the
road and the Equitable mortgage company of
New York pending for the past four months
were finally closed up to- day by the deciding of
several thousand acres of very valuable coal
lands by Mr.. w. W. Johnson, the first success
ful man to operate the coal mines in Texas, to
the coal and railroad syndicate. THE GAZETTE
correspondent learned from President Stone this
evening that all money matters were
arranged and the work the Weather
ford Mineral Wells and Northwestern railroad
would begin and be pushed to completion as far
as the coal fields as soon some preliminary
arrangements can be perfected which would
place the railroad company in position 10 accept
bids for the building of the road. President
Stone gave it as his opinion that within ten days
at the outset the work of grading the road would
be begun. The people of Wea- herford are very
iubilant over the contamination of this deal,
which gives them for manufacturing and all
other purposes by far the cheapest obtainable
coal in Texas, not to exceed more than 81.

mill and the 800 200 grain elevator. The
buildings will be erected convenient to
the Wichita Valley railway, in the south
part of town. Mr.. L. c. Stewart, a
large contractor of st. Louis has the con-
tract for the wood work, and Mr..
c. NJ. Harris of Chicago furnishes
the machinery for both mill and eleva-
tor. No town or city in or out of Texas,

goes to show that there is business here
for the capitalist and manufacturer. The
securing of this plant makes Wichita
Falls headquarters for flour in North
west Texas. Wheat will be shipped
and hauled to this points from the sur
rounding country for many miles and
manufactured into flour. Flour made
from the wheat of this section will COM

find ready sale in East and South Texas.
Mr.. Mark Evans of Fort Worth is here
in the interest of the mill and elevator
company.
Mr.. Harris of Chicago, who has the
contract for the machinery has the plans

Prospects Good for Her Being Left in Utter

Gas Workers.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 1.-THE men at
North station of the Chicago gaslight

forty went out on strike last night. 1t
is said an effort is being made to organ
ize all gas employees, and the strikers
are endeavoring to induce the employees
of other gas works in the city to join
them, and with fair prospects of sue
cess. It requires skilled wOrkmen to
operate the machinery at the gas works,
and unless settlement Is speedily made
the city may be left in darkness so far as
the gas supply is concerned.
BETTER OUTLOOK.
The strike does not now seem to be as
formidable as at first. 1t is reported
only seventeen of the night gang are
out instead OF forty as reported, and
there is no prospect of the strike extend
