FINANCIAL.
OREGON SHORT LINE
AND
utah NORTHERN RAILWAY CO.
To the Holders of the
CONSOLIDATED MORTGAGE 5 Per Cent BONDS
&C0IlateraI TruS! s Per Cent. Bonds.

The undersigned Committee, after careful
examination of the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern Railway, and considering all
the questions involved, has reached the con-
clusion that the full earning capacity OF the
property is not developed while 1t is operated
as part OF the Union Pacific system under
the policy adopted by the Union Pacific Com
pany and continued by the present receivers.
The propriety of this policy could not be ques-
toned while the Union Pacific paid the ex-
penses and charges Of the line under the traf-
tic contract, but the suspension of that con
tract and the continued default upon the
bonds make 1T necessary that the property
should be placed in the hands of persons de-
voted solely to its interests and not embar-
rassed by any conflict between these and the
interests of the Union Pacific main line. For
the purpose of any reorganization Of the sys-
tenn, whether depending upon Congressional
action otherwise it is necessary that the
earning power of our line should be indepen-
IDENTIFY asceftained. In case there shall b3 no
such reorganization, it is equally necessary
that the security -holders should be in a po-
sition to act promptly. For these rHsons, the
Committee is about to take proceedings for a
separate receivership of the oregon Short
Line IL Utah Northern Railway.
The total issue of Consolidated 52o Bonds is
$40 600, of which $l,702, 600 are either held
by the Union Pacific Railway Company or are
pledged for its debts OF the remaining s9,-
1893, 600 in the hands of the public, this com
mttee, acting in harmony with the committee
at Amsterdam, already represents and con-
trolls over $500 900 OF Consolidated SO Bonds.

TO make q prompt uepoSll with tne hHheTitah

THE PERALTA GRANT.
Not a Single Genuine Paper Upon
Which to Base That Big Claim
Of 100000 Acres.

| Associate Justice Thomas G. Fuller,
Mr. Matt G. Reynolds, United States at
torney, Mr.. s. Malet-Prevost, special as
sistant attorney general, and Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Upton, expert, have gone to tho City of
Mexico and Guadalajara, under a COM
mission issued by the court of land
claims, to commence the taking of testi-
mony in the case of j. A. Peralta-Reavis
and wife VS.. the United States.
This is the largest land grant ever
claimed to have been made by Spain or
Mexico, including over 100000 acres of
land, and covering the Salt and Gila river
valleys in Arizona and extending south
eastern into New Mexico. 1t covers the
town of Phoenix, the capital of Arizona,
and some of the most valuable mineral
and agricultural lands in the territory.
United States Attorney Reynolds states
to-day that for the last twelve months the
archives and evidence in Spain and Mex
leo have been under careful examination
by Mr.. S. Mallet-Prevost, special assist
ant attorney general, and the government
was now proceeding to put its evidence
in complete form.
He said it was probably time, in order
to relieve the public excitement in Ari-
zona and elsewhere, to state that the gov
ernment was fully prepared to prove, and
would do so, that not single title paper,
nor single record entry, are genuine.
The examination has been quietly and
carefully carried on, but from this time
each step must, of course, become public
property.
