PROMISING NEWCASTLE.
A Nebraska Man Talks of the New
Wyoming Coal Field.

Mr.. Collins, OF the big contracting firm
of Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins, is in
Omaha from Newcastle AMI has this to
say of the new Wyoming cal field:
''The vein is open on each side of the
canyon, making two separate and dis
tinct mines with separate workings, ma
chineiy. etc. Each mine has three tracks
upon which the cars stand to receive the
coal. A large chute over 100 feet in
length extends from the tipple to the cars
below on the railroad track. The chute
is constructed with iron bars placed In
the bottom 50 that the coal in its down
ward descent through the chute is sepa-
rated into three grades, known as lump,
nut and pea coal. The coal is by this
means loaded into three cars at the same
time. The lump coal is deposited 10 the
car at the mouth of the chute, which
stands upon a 6fty-foot track scales. The
coal being weighed and ready for c~onsign-
ment before it leaves the chute where it
is loaded.
The coal will be loaded or distributed in
the cars with the Ramsey loader, this be-
ing an immense heavy machine, construct
ed somewhat Upon the order of a snow
pillow, only not so large aud unwieldy. Its
motion is oseillating, and being set in the
center of the ear throws the coal from the
,ent,r to each end of the car, saving the
labor of a very large force Of men. There
is probably no machine used in connec
ton with coal mining hat saves a
larger per cent of labor than this machine
and not only that, but it makes it posi-
bic to handle the output from a mine of
immense capacity, as the loading capac.
ity Of this loader is placed at 3, 1000 tons
in ten hours. This will give
the company when they have both
leaders placed in position a loading
capacity Of 4 1000 tons each ten hours, or
200 cars. This machine will be operated
by an engine especially provided for that
purpose and located upon the outside of
the track so that it can be adjusted to the
car with very little trouble and in a very
short space Of time. Another benefit that
the company will derive from the use Of
this loader is that the velocity with which
it is operated will tend to break the large
lum. rs of coal into smaller pieces. This
will be an advantage, for the coal is 50
hard that it requires quite an effort to
break the large Jumps, and the coal burns
much better for domestic purposes when
it is broken up in small pieces.
with the demand that this coal must
have for steam, coke and domestic pur.
poses, the time is not lar distant when
the capacity of the mine is liable to be
pressed to its full limit, and as soon as
that time rolls around you will lee not less
than two hundred cars of coal a day
shipped from the mines"

The Rhodes & Troxell soda water sea-
son was formally opened yesterday by a
treat to the town. Nectar from the
beautiful big fountain was given without
price, stint or preference all day and was
enthusiastically pronounced a superior
article. The verdict was unanimous that
the syrups we're pure fruit juices, that the
cream was rich and genuine and the mix
ture just right to make the drink palata.
BILE.
There was a tremendous run on the
fountain desoite the %unpropitious weather.
The enterprising firm gave away I,47s
glasses of soda, or ninety eight gallons.
The son of a tailor took the prize for
capacity, He put away eleven glasses.

THE MIDLAND PACIFIC.
From Sioux Falls. S. D., Across
Wyoming and Idaho.
Four or Five Connecting Lines at
the East End.
Work Commenced and Right of
Way Bills are Pending.

Senator Pettigrew has introduced two
bills, which are the preliminary steps to
the construction of another great trunk
line to the Pacific ocean, recently antici-
pated in dispatches printed in this paper.
The senator is one of the principal incor-
porators of the Midland Pacific Railway
company, which is organized under The
laws Of South Dakota and which pro-
poses to construct a line from Sioux Falls,
s. D., to the Pacific ocean. passing
through the state of South Dakota, the
territories of Wyoming and Idaho and
the state of Washington. The road has
already been begun, several miles of track
having been laid to the west OF Sioux
Falls and a final survey being completed
the entire length Of the line. The
company Intends to finish 100
miles of this line this year. The
first bill introduced grants the right of
way over the public domain from the
eastern to the western terminal point, 100
feet in width and twenty acres for each
ten miles in length of main line for station
building, workshops, depots, machine
shops, switches, side tracks, etc 1t also
gives the use of material on the public
domain along the way to be used in the
Tosk of constructing the line, but it pro-
vides that the rights granted this company
shall not preclude any rights of other
roads to construct lines over the same
route, and the entire line must be com
pleted within ten years.
The second bill grants a right Of way
way through. the Crow Indian res
e~rvation in South Dakota of a width of
fifty feet and permits the company to
take stone for use 10 constructing the line
and buildings for the road through the
reservation, fr,m the land, the secretary
of the interior fixing the amount Of
compensation to the Indians for the
right Of way and securing their consent.
At Sioux Falls the Midland Pacific
will make connection with the east over
four or FIVE connecting lines. The road
promises to be a sharp rival to the
Union, Northern and other Pacific trunk
lines and will develop that SEXTON of
the states and territories through which
it runs to the Pacific midway be-
tween the Northern and Union Pacific
roads

RAILWAY MAIL R V
Vigorous Senatorial Effort for the Relief
of this Section.
To Create a Separate District for Ne
hraska and Wyoming
An Additional Crew Promined by Capt
White for Iuly 1.

Senators Manderson and Paddock ale
making a vigorous effort to have the rail-
way mail service of the West improved.
They ask for the establishment Of a new
division to Include Nebraska and Wyo-
ming with headquarters at Omaha.
This division will include the Burliug.
ton, Northwestern and Union Pacific
railway systems. lfthey are successful
the service will be handled IN much better
shape than at present as it will place the
superintendent OF the division in c'oser re
lation with his men and lines of road,
AT present the work in the sixth divis
ion, especially that which falls to tie
Omaha and Ogden line clerks, is too
heavy for them to handle sat
isf4ctorily. Frequently thirty tons OF
mail have to be handled on a run,
and the clerks are Obliged to work the
eutire run from Omaha to CHEYENNE
without rest Superintendent White has
promised to put OF an extra crew after
July J.. If this is done matters will be
aided considerably. The records of
western postofficrs, especially those of
Wyoming, show an extraordinary increase
in the amount of mail matter handled for
the present year and the working force of
the railway mail service, which was never
too large, should be increased proper

DOING WELL.
A Few Cheyenne People Who Have
Located in Denver.

Cheyenne people have a faculty of do
ing well no matter where they may chance
to locate. Those in Denver are no ex.
ception to the rule. Among those who
have gone there during the past five
years from Cheyenne a visitor to Denver
met the following:
A. G. Mcleod, who vas well known
here as a builder and contractor is follow.
ing the same line of business in Denver.
He is the proprietor al.o of a large
planning mill and sash and door factory
employing forty or fifty men. George
McSwain is Mr.. McLcod's forman.
Frank Gillispie is the head b~ookkeeper
for the big firm of the Kinscy Implement
company.
Mort HANNA holds a lucrative and
responsible position in the First National
bank. He thinks, however, Denver
does not compare with Cheyenne as a
place of residence.
F. L. Addoms is building a large bus:
ness block on the corner of Twenty.
thrrd and Weltoa streets. The building
will contain six large stores and a num-
Der OF office rooms.
Cornelius Ferris of the firm of Pratt
& Ferris will build a thirty thousand dol
lar building this summer.

An automatic card shufller is the work
of an English inventor, Mr.. Booth. 1t
works thus: A sharp turn to the right of
either of the two handles places the ma
chine in working order. The cards are
then dropped into the slot. The machine
works by itself, and the cards gradually
disappear. When the whole have passed
into the machine the handle is turned
again in the same direction and the cards
will be brought back to the surface Of
the table.
Another pack should then be placed
in the slot, and the shufling process re-
peats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. L. When the
hand has been played GU a turn of the
handle brings up pack No. . ready shut
fed, and the used pack No. 1 is then
placed in the slot in place OF. pack No. 2.
This process may be repeated indefinitely.
By this arrangement every card changes
its position, passing through the machine
in twenty seconds.-Chicago Herald.

A TALE OF THE NIGHT.
An Accident to a Young Girl Going
for Medicine.
Fell Heavy at a Bad Alley Crossing
on Ferguson.
Lost Money Which was to Relieve
Her Suffering Mother.

Last night was extremely disagreeable.
Rain had fallen in the afternoon and the
surface of the earth, which is the globe
upon which we live, was pasty and sticky,
The air was chilly and fog %enveloped the
scene. Belated pedestrians hurried along
the slippery walks and sloppy eros ings,
defying the danger OF falls.
The patter of the wrong font feet of a
little girl apparently of IA or Is heralded
the approach of a maiden who came along
Seventeenth aud turned south at the
Rhodes & Troxell d~ispensary. She
was a child of poverty, but glided
along with the genuine hateur OF a blue
stocking. Her shoes were bad and her
worn dress was iraycd at the ruffiing,
while it was evident to a casual observer
that the box ~pleatings had seen much SER
vice. A shawl was over her head. The
face, as the rays OF a striking arc light
fitted across it, appealed to the behol6er.
1t was one of exquisite sweetness Of that
rare, expressive type so universally adj
mired. The glorious light of a pure soul
cleaned from the brilliant eyes. A dainty
hand grasped the folds of the shawl about
the full, white neck of lovely symmetry.
Below the dress was an ankle of raptur-
Gus beauty.
The little girl broke into a run in front
of the Fair. She sped along gracefully
and swiitly. There is a serviceable but
rough crossing at the alley between the
Union Mercantile establishment and the
Gold Room. A lump was made for one
of the fiat stones by the pretty maiden.
She MISE / it and fell heavily. A little
scream escaped her lips and refined groan
iDg followed.
Three railroad men were standing in
the shelter of the Capitol entrance. They
rushed to the assistance of the child and
quickly raised her to her feet. She did
not appear to be injured. but between
bitter sobs complained OF bodily hurts.
These, she said, she did not care for, but
in the fall she had lost a s. gold piece,
with which she had been sent to buy
medicine for her dying mother.
The incident touched the manly servi-
tors of the Union Pacific. Each man
emptied his pockets, forcing their money
upon the girl despite her protests.
With quivering chin and tears c~linging
to her long eyelashes the girl thanked her
benef,ctors gracefully and limped towards
Masten's. Around that corner she was
met by an older female who expcctantly
inquired how the gag had worked.
"Splendidly," was the joyous response.
Three guys coughed up sll and we can
buy tickets to Denver and have something
left"
TIE railroad men had started for the
dept and heard the conversation. As
they leaned against Mr.. MGsten's east
wall a piece fell out of the moon and in a
few hours the sun appeared with icicles
pendant and big flakes of new laid snow
glinted and shimmered in the ambient
atmosphere as the swet and reminiscent
strains of Annie Laurie loated over
the village and lit in chunks over in Colo

No. l6, for malaria and chills and lever,
is being used by hundreds OF our leading
families with splendid results; and to u
