The P0st-Intelligencer errs in its ref
erence to the death of Capt. Tom
Wright in the statement that the
steamer Olympia, built by the
Wrights for the Olympia.Victoris
trade, was laid up at this city for ten
years after the Starr line had obtained
control OF the Sound. The fact was
that the Olympia remained here but a
few months after the opposition was
declared off. She was taken to San
Francisco, and was laid up under
heavy monthly subsidy from the Cali
fornia Steam Navigation Co. not to
enter into competition with their
boats. Capt. Finch, one of her own
ers, used to declare that it was the
best "route" any of the company's
boats had ever entered upon, for the
dividends were sure and the expendi-
lures small. The Olympia, after sew
eral years of this service, passed into
the ownership Of Capt. Irving, OF Vic
toria, her name was changed to to the
Princess Louise, and she entered upon
a service in British waters.

all over the reservation from rival

There is considerable excitement
over the selection of townsite within

the result will probably be location

INTERESTING DATA.
IRON MOUNTAIN ROADS STATEMENT FILED WITH THE STATE
 BOARD.
sum Totals of the Earnings, Expenses, Tonnage. Etc, of the Road in Arkansas For
 Year.
(Arkansas Gazette.)

The State Board of Railroad Com missioners will be in session today passing upon the annual statements tiled by the different railroads of the State for the purpose of assessing the railroad property for taxation. All the railroads in the State have filed reports showing the condition and value of their property and their earnings for the past year.
 The St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad s statemenG gives the following interesting data rela- tive to that road:
 Total amount of the capital stock of the company, 1,543, 075. Cost of road and equipment, $69, 433, 282. 45 Amount of the indebtedness of the road, $25.5O1, 178.31. Earnings in Arkansas for the year 1894, esti- mated on Q strictly mileage basis, freight, $4,09O, 982. 50; passenger, $988. 138. O3; mail, $154, 389.74; ex- press, $125, ,25O.22; rent, $8, 81.20; miscellaneous, $125, ,846.99. Total, $5, 493, ,088. .68.
 Tonnage in Arkansas: Products of the forest, 682, ,569; products of ami mals, 101, ,228; products of agricul- ture, APO, ,688; manufactures and merchandise, 269, 1893; miscellaneous products, 284, ,694; total, 1,759, 9,072.
 Expenses in Arkansas: Conduct ing transportation, $l, 502, 636. 76; motive power, $992, 290.l1; mainten- ance of way, $83l ,61s.1s; mainten- anee of cars, $333, 525. 50; general ex- penses, SPA, 297 IS; taxes paid in Arkansas, $163, ,o22 65; total, s, 947, 390. 36.
 The number of men employed by the company in Arkansas and their occupation is as follows: Engineers, HOG; tiremen; 106, telegraph opera tors, 103; mechanics 452; section laborers, 1,414; conductors, l5l; 'switchmen, fagmen and watchmen, l40; station agents, 40; section fore men, POO. This does not include all the employees.
 The number of persons injured in life or limb is as follows: Killed, 26; injured, 60.
 While the Iron Mountain was as sessed for purposes of taxation at SIS, 900 per mile by the board last year, it is by no means assured that the figures will be allowed to re- main this year. The opinion obtains in some quarters that the board will raise the assessment this year.
