Missouri Pacific Directors Meetiur.

New YoRK, Jan. 1S.-The Missouri Pa
citc directors at special meeting to-day
passed a resolution in which, after de-
batting on the Importance of maintaining
rates, special meeting of the Western
Traffic association is requested to be called.
The Missouri Pacific officials say in view
Of the Importance of maintaining rates
speedy action should be taken on the
charges made against officials of the Bur
ling ton, Atchison and Southern Pacific
ROADS. Action on these charges was de-
ferred at the presidents meeting to the
last week In April.
Jay Gould today in an interview said /:
Nothing will be done hastily The West
ern Traffic association has accomplished
much good in having strengthened general
confidence In the stability of rates and the
Missouri Pacific will DO nothing uncalled
for to impair the associations usefulness.
Action, II any must be taken, will be by the
board of directors. In the meeting where
Leeds was condemned remember particu-
larly how earnest and forceful the Bur-

Senator Power Opposes Justice Field.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-United States Power
Of Montana, who stopped over here on his
way to Washington, makes no secret of bis
opposition to Justice Field for the reason
he thinks the justice is using his influence
to put men friendly to railroad companies
on the bench. Power said in regard TO the
matter at the great irrigation convention
at Salt Lake city, the Field men showed up
their hands by favoring the plan of segre-
cation Of arid lands. IN other words, In
sixteen arid land states the idea was to
take the arid lands from the government
and give them to the several states. Cali
fornia has had an experience of that kind
and she was virtually controlled to-day by
the railroads. The Northern Pacific con
trolls about seventeen million acres out OF
ninety million acres of our mineral and
arid lands and we can't afford TO let the
judge give decisions in favor of segrega-
ton and giving these land grant owners an
opportunity to make huge political ma
chine out of the irrigation scheme.

A Powder MIL Blown Up.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, Jan, 1S.-A powder
mill at Central City exploded this morning
with terrific effect. The sound was heard
in Ironton, twenty five miles away. Win
dow glass was broken in Catletts burg.
Seven men were killed and six wounded.
10 This is the third explosion at the Phoenix
mill in three months and the most destruc-
tive. The cause will never be known as
all the workmen in the mill were killed.
1t has been ascertained the first explosion
was IL the glazing mill, where there were
ten tons of powder. Successfully the
packing house, magazine, four wheel mills
and car loaded with gun powder went
hurting in fiery fragments through the air.
Not vestige of the entire place remains
and the country for half 8 mile around is
strewn with fragments of buildings and
the bodies of five men, victims of the dis
ssuer. 1t is not known definitely, but at
the present writing it Is believed not less
than thirty-five tons of powder were
burned in the several explosions. The
killed are: Archie Livingston, a Scotch
man, superintendent of the mills, only his
hand was found; Ed Winton, architect and
the engineer who built the works; John
Benton and John Schlosser and Charles
Scott, wOrkmen. Robert Cook, g glazing
mill hand, was MORALLY injured.
The seriously injured are: X. o. Reece,
James Estep and John Justice. Many
others were slightly injured.

The Chicago d Northwestern.

Among the eastern roads which will IN
doubtedly build westward during the new
year is the Chicago g. Northwestern. 1t
has already reached Casper, short dis
lance this side of Fort Fetterman, in
Wyoming, and is, therefore, but few
miles from this city. There is consider
able being said in eastern railway journals
at present concerning the intention
OF the company to build either
to Ogden or Salt Lake during the present
year. This may be the reason why rup-
ture OF the amicable relations now existing
between the Union Pacific and the North
western is looked upon as inevitable.
A prominent railway mani is quoted
as saying In this connection: while at
Chicago recently" he said, 81 learned
enough to make me think there was good
foundation for the story AT least was
convinced that the Union Pacific had
begun movement to convert some of
It's traffic from the Northwestern to the
Milwaukee. Indirectly l have it from a
Union Pacific official that he has been di-
| rected to throw his influence for the Mil
waukee on business going east of the Nils
souri, river. To me the signs indicate that
Jay Gould is paving the way for break
| from the Vanderbilts, who control the
Northwestern. | happen TO know that the
Northwestern has placed an order for 40, :,
OOO tons OF steel rails. That will lay line
4l4 miles long. If you will take the map
and measure the distance in straighs line
from Casper to Ogden you will find it to be
about three hundred and twenty miles, sc
that 1000 tons of rails are enough to lay {
line between those two points. The North
western has secured a right of way tc
within two blocks of the union depot il
Salt Lake city.
"Of course if the Northwestern should
build to Ogden 1t will also have line tt
Salt Lake, anu il is hardly probable that i
would buy an expensive right of way
through city without intending to use it
l cannot positively give the route of tht
proposed extension, but there has been
preliminary survey and 1 know in a gen
eral way what that is. 1t runs in south
westerly direction fro.n Casper through
the valley of the Platte, south of the Rattle
snake mountains. Thence by ranges VI
the valley of the Sweetwater to the Soutl
pass. and thence in a southwesterly cours
in Ogden Then they will get through t

Another Coal Find.

1t has been supposed for some time that
the deeper the miners would go at the
mines in Wales, Sanpete county, the better
the coal would be. This has proven to be
the case, as a ten-foot vein OF the finest
coal has just been discovered. The differ
ent strata of this useful article of fuel are
found to be arranged as follows: The first
is about one foot in thickness and is
composed of rock and coal about
equally mixed. The next layer is
somewhat thicker, and the material
here found contains less rock. The
third stratum is the one which has been
furnishing all the coal which has been
taken from the mine, and is about three
feet through. Our readers know what
kind of fuel this coal makes. The ten-fooi
vein OF which we have spoken comes next
and 1T produces a splendid quality of btu
minous coal.-Enstgn.
