Yellowstone Excursions.

A heavy travel to the Yellowstone
Park has set in. Last evening the I'M
ION Pacific sent out nine people for
that famous resort, and tonight there
are over forty going out. Manager
Bassett, Aof the Union Pacific stage
line, said: Eve just wired to my peo-
pie to put on additional stages for the
rush
The Union Pacific gives the tourist
a choice of three routes, viz: Beaver
canyon, Butte and Cinnabar. But the
Beaver canyon is the one now to the
front For this route they have put
in a rate of $3.50 round trip for par
ties of ten or more. That covers the
rail rate from Salt Lake to Beaver
canyon and return, the trip stage ride
into and around the park.
Travelling Passenger Agent Taggart,
Of the Union Pacific, said: And let
me tell you what we are doing. We
are sending people from here on a.
$50 rate-that means that while they
are away on the trip they needn't pay
out a cent for anything. 1t means
free Pullman, free stage rides. free
hotels and free everything. What CO
you think of that?"

After an idleness of over a week the
Pennsylvania smelters are again IN
blast and the treatment of the accu-
mutation of ores has been resumed
The close-down at the plant was occa-
stoned by the breaking of the blower
for the second or third time, ana now
the necessary repairs have been made
and operations can be maintained as
before.
1T IS anticipated that by the early
part of the coming month the second
l00-ton stack will be completed and
then in the event OF ore receipts con-
tinl,ing as heavy as at present, the
Two great furnaces viii be kept con-
stantly in blast. There have been
some DELAYS in the receipt Of the con-
nections for the Bruckner roasters now
being placed on their foundations al
the works. and the failure of the gear
ing to arrive will prevent the con-
Meeting up Of the machines ana II is
not likely that any change Wil occur
for the next three weeks IN that con-
nection.
The smelters in the valley are not
receiving their rightful share of the
ore shipments made by the producers
of the territory, there having been SO
lmany outside contracts entered into.
With the improvements being made
at the plants it will be possible for the
latter to take care of the ores from
every property in the territory, and
what is mere, the price paid for smelter
charges may receive shaking down.
for the smelters are preparing them
selves 10 treat ores just as econom-
ically as do those of the neighborIng
mining states.

TAKING THE INVENTORY.
Receiver Mason at Work at the Cop
Dcr Works.

Receiver Mason, of the Salt Lake
City Copper Manufacturing company,
has commenced listing and making an
inventory of the property preparatory
to presenting his report of its general
condition TO the court. Owing to the
vastness and variety of the property,
this is a work which will take some
time TO complete.
Mr.. Mason will take an early oppor-
tunity TO visit the Copper Mountain
mines of the company in northwestern
Utah with "a view of ascertaining their
general condition.
It is understood the first move to-
wards realizing will be the sale Of the
coke and other semi-destructable ma
terial at the copper works.
The closing negotiations with the
Ajax company, by which that company
will pay over TO the receiver the
amount due on the purchase of the
Copperoplis, are expected TO be COM
pleted in a few days.

WESTERN ASSOCIATION.
Chairman CaIdweIl Issues a Call for
Il Meeting.


CHICAGO, July 17.-Chairman Cald-
well, Of the Western Lines Passenger
association, has issued a call for a
meeting OF the trans-AIissouri lines to
be held in this city July %. The meet
ing will be held for the purpose OF
clearing away, as far as possible, the
obstacles which have heretofore pre-
vented the establishment of a passen-
ger agreement west OF the river.
The presidents agreement for the
maintenance of east bound rates from
Chicago, which was practically die
tated by J. P. Morgan, is already be-
coming baggy at the knees. Charges
of rate cutting are made on all sides
and most of them are founded on fact
Tomorrow is the day set for the presi-
dents agreement TO become operative
in full force, but contracts have been
made within the last few days which
involve tonnage which cannot be han

Mr.. Morgan has announced. But it is
a. sure thing that two or more roads
out Of Chicago will take their chances.

Hon. W. W. Ritter has returned from
a visit to the northwest and with him
came President David Eccles. OF the
oregon Lumber company, in whose
company he visited the various mining
camps in the vicinity Of Baker City and
the terminus OF the Sumpter Valley
railroad. The gentleman reports great
activity IN the mines of the state of
Oregon, both placer and quartz, prac-
tically ali of the attention being given
to gold propositions. Quite a number
of Salt Lake operators are now in the
state and all of them are doing Well
John c. Young is working on a promis-

some Salt Lakers are going in with
him and put up the necessary capital

Henry, former citizens of this city, are
operating several properties under
lease and bond. They have a twenty

TONNES SUCCESSOR.

Both Talked Of.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17-1t Is
expected by the Southern Pacific Off
Gals that successor to the late A.
n. Towne as second vice-president
and general manager will be selected
for several weeks. 1t is possible that
the directors may decide to make no
new appointment. It is not improbable
that the directors may save TONNES
salary of $4,000 by combining the du-
ties he performed with those OF some
other official. thereby saving $4,000
annually II. Z. Huntington, the
nephew of c. p. Huntington, and his
assistant, as president, is now in the
east but started for San Francisco
upon learning of Towne's death. His
election as second vice-president is
considered probable. The southern
Pacific directors will meet tomorrow
but will transact no business further
than to adopt resolutions of regret for
Towne's demise r. a. new general
manager is appointed the choice will
probably lie between w. G.. Curtis. at

The Herald would be the case, the
company is reducing the value of its
gold bullion in order TO do away with
much danger that attaches to the
movement across country and that

silver. Instead of the bars being
worth something over SLIGO as has
heretofore been the case, they will in
future be valued at something like
$4,000, the difference being made up
in excess of silver.

Ferguson district are to the effect
that the DeLamars are operating
regularly ana smoothly and maintain

A GOOD SHOWING.
Made by The Utah Portion of the
Union Pacific.

The business of the Utah division OF
the Union Pacific, embracing 3S2 miles
shows for the month Of June healthy
increase over the corresponding month
OF last year. In figuring up the num-
Der of carloads originating upon the
division as against those in June las.
year, The Herald finds the increase to
be II per cent.
June this year shows 472 cars Of
cattle and horses shipped out, as
against 314 for June, 1894.
the ore shipments this year show up
well, when it is found that for the
month there were 431 cars to show
against 262 cars d year ago.
Wool shipments likewise show up to
good advantage for June of this year.
and salt shipments run about even. A
great many people will be surprised TO
learn that the Union Pacific alone
ships out 800 cars, one month with an
other and that some Of it goes as far
east as Kansas City and Chicago.
Taken altogether. the showing made
for the southern Utah lines is in trend
with the tide of prosperity in general
that is returning to business circles,
and the railroad people are thankful
for that

son system but think that their inter-
ests can be better looked after by
separate receivership, while at the
same time maintaining all existing
traffic relations Should such a mo-
ton be made. it is not certain what
position will be taken by the Atchi-
son interests, but they will presum-
ably object very seriously to such
change being made in the manage
ment of the property.
What is commonly called the
Atlantic & Pacific railroad extends
from Albuquerque in New Mexico,
through Arizona to Mojave in Cali
fornia, distance of SIS miles. The
road owned by the Atlantic & Pa
cific, however, extends from the Rio
Grande river, thirteen miles west of
Albuquerque to the Columbia river.
which is the eastern boundary Of
California, distance of 565 miles.
The road was built in the interest OF
the Atchison & st. Louis & San Fran
cisco roads for the purpose of afford
ing those lines tranS-continental
routes and it has heretofore been
handled as a part of the Atchison
system. The present receivers of the
Atlantic &. Pacific are Aldace +.
Walker, j. McCook and Joseph c.
Wilson, who are also receivers OF the
Atchison and st. Louis & San Fran
cisco companies. This receivership
was established in a suit brought by
the Mercantile Trust company, trustee
under the second mortgage. The
bonds secured by the mortgage, as
well as the great part of the common
stock of the Atlantic & Pacific. are
assets of the Atchison and Frisco
receiverships. The United States
Trust company, trustee of the first
mortgage, have been made a, party to
the suit in which the receivers were
appointed. The latter mortgage Sc.
cures about $4,000, 600 of bonds which
are the first lien on the $40 miles of
road above stated, together with the
valuable land grant of THE company.
The situation is complicated by the
fact rnat the Atlantic & Pacific line
from the crossing of the Colorado
river at the Needles west to Barstow,
where it connects with the Southern
California, and to Mojave, where it
connects with the Southern Pacific, is
lz.t owned by the Atlantic 4, Pacific.
but is overated under a contract of
purchase and lease from the Southern
Pacific made when the road was con-
structed

Tonight at midnight the circus viii ar
rive in the city. 1t is asserted that with
it are about three hundred hard charac-
tiers who are wont to run in gangs OF
a dozen or more, who terrify women and
children and who have in many places
openly defied law and officers. 1t is as
serted at police headquarters that these
men have no part with the show and are
merely hangers on. People are eau
toned that for the next three days it
will be a good plan for someone to re-
main at home and not permit the house
to be left alone at any one time.
Charlie Raum, who for a long time was
employed with Henderson's grocery
house, has returned from a visit to his
old home in Pittsburg and a trip to New
York. He is going to take trip to the
Yellowstone country and then to Lower
California. He declares that when this
is all over he VIII return to Zion and
pitch his tent for the remainder of his
days. Raum says that times are picking
up IN the east and that the iron trade
especially is good. But all the places IN
the east are as barren deserts as COM

THE COAL COMBINE.
Looks as Though the Union Pacific
Would Smash II.


There was a feeling prevalent
throughout this city yesterday that
the coal combine was on the eve Of
dissolution. that the grave was al
ready yawning to receive it, and but q
short time would elapse until cheaper
coal would be rolling in, an important
feature to the people here.
While il is but short time since a
contract was signed for another year,
ostensibly for carrying on the coal
business as it has been conducted here
for the past year, yet it is patent to all
that new conditions have arisen thick
and fast, all having tendency to
materially change traffic matters.
Neither the railroads nor the COM
bine people will commit themselves to
any point blank statement at this
writing, and yet there is something in
the wind. It's an i'll wind that blows
no one any good, and when it tran
spires that the Union Pacific viii
throw down the bars on coal in line
with previous action in the matter of
lower freight rates, thereby giving
long prayed for relief in the way of
cheaper fuel, great will be the rejoic-
ing IT would mean an increase of
manufacturers rISuI 1IOui tHS SldI l. :
would mean that many people would
come here and engage in business I'M
der the new stimulus.
Traffic Manager Munroe has now
been here a fun week and it has been
noted that during ali the time he and
the local Union Pacific officials have
been iguring-figuring daily. 1t is rea-
sonabIe to suppose that this section
was largely the basis OF their calcula-
tons, and as the river rates are settled
and out of the way, the conclusion is
that the coal business occupied their
time 1t is safe to venture that Salt
Lake is on the eve of another pleasant
and gratifying surprise-cheaper coal.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE bill filed in
the office of the clerk of the United
States court in albuquerque, N. NJ,
by the United States Trust company,

the Atlantic & Pacific, asking for
foreclosure and sale OF the property,
is based upon no interest having been
paid on the first mortgage since the
road went into the hands of receivers

the Atchison people from the filing of
the bill that the reorganization COM

Great interest is being taken by the
people of the territory in the reports
of the recent gold strikes in the vicin-
ity of Minersvillle. A large number OF
specimens of the rock have been re-
ceived in this city during the past few
days. but the majority of them gave
but light returns in gold. They were
all from the very surface, however
and for this reason their lack of gold

ANOTHER STRIKE REPORTED
This Time 1t Is Located Up on the
Head of Weber River.

And now comes that district at the
head of the Weber river and lays
claim to some attention at the hands
of moneyed men and miners on ac-
count of reported strike of gold ores
just made there. 1t is stated that
VIII Hennefer and associates, who
have for some time been doing de-
velOpment work on properties located
by them at the head of the river, have
made a very encouraging strike of
gold ores. The statement made is in
effect that the gentlemen have just
opned up a ledge of low grade gold
ores twenty feet in width and are now
engaged in developing the properties.
Although the report is as yet very
vague, sufficient is known to con-
vince the other interested people that
the mines are worthy of the eXpendi-
ture of a considera bic sum of money
in development work alone.
