BoATNER's SUBSTITUTE.
Reilly Bill Opposed Fly the Gentle
man From Louisiana.


Washington, Jan ga substitute for
the Reilly Pacific railroad bill has been
introduced in the House by Representa-
tive Boatner, of Louisiana. The member
of the committee on Pacific railroads who
made the minority report against the
Reilly bill, viii provide for a Pacific rail-
road commission to take charge of the
government-aided roads when they de-
fault in the payment of their debts and
to control them as representatives Of the
government until q comprehensive plan
can be adopted by Congress for settling
the relations of the company with the
government. The commission is to con-
StSt of three members, who Will receive
salaries OF $4,000 and TO be given the
powers Of mana cement usually exercised
by railroad directors. Another feature Of
the plan is TO authorize the commission
to investigate all the subsidized roads,
to ascertain whether they have unlaw-
fully obtained money from the govern
ment or unlawfully disposed of any
funds, and TO recommend a plan for Sc
curing restitution to the government OF
diverted funds. If they find that they
nave been diverted. the secretary Of the
treasury is to put the roads in the hands
of the commissioners. Two of the COM
nisSiOnerS are to reside west of the Mis-
StSSippt river. Their investigation Is to
cover these points: How much, if any.
of the capital stock of another company
was issued contrary to the law. and the
names of persons or corporations TeceiV-
ing it; to what extent contracts for con-
struction have been awarded companies
or individuals representing officers or d.
rectOrS of the road: to what extent land
grants have been diverted from their or
iginal purposes; to what extent property
has been conveyed to persons represent
ing the officers; to what extent the funds
have been used to influence legislation
with details of the transactions.
a canvass of members known to op-
pose the Reilly bill is being made. to in
duce them, if possible to unite upon this
scheme, which is in the nature of a COM
promise between the Reilly bill and the
various foreclosure and government con-
troll and ownership bills.
Representative Caminetti, OF California.
who has a bill to place the Pacific roads
under military control. says that he is
willing to accept this plan. if il can
command the support Of a fair contingent
of the House and he believes that the
other California members are of the
same mind,

STREET RAILROAD CHANGES.
Reduction in Running Time-Nev
Transfer SIfps.

In order to meet the requirements and
subserve the interests of their patrons
the Salt Lake City Railroad company
people have made some changes in their
service, reductions in the running time
of three of the lines having been made.
Hereafter cars on the Centre and West
Temple streets line viii. leave the in
tersection Of Second South and Main
every half hour, on the hour and haif.
instead Of every twenty-five and a half
minutes. Only hourly trips will be
made on the Lake Breeze line and the
trips on the Waterloo will Dc heightened
out two minutes, making the service
fifteen minutes on the even periods Of
the hour. Two of the changes were
made at the request of the patrons Of
the system in order that the time might
be in even minutes.
The new identification transfer slips,
mention of which was made in The
Herald of Sunday, We're yesterday is
sued TO the conductors on the First
South street line and viii be more
largely distributed daily until The old
style is entirely done away with. Each
conductor has his own number on his
particular Slip and therefore it will be
an easy matter for the superintendent
to tell just who punched the transfer,
in the event Of a complaint.

Upon the report of a special coIls
mittee, the members of which are tS,
be named at a later day by the presi-
dent, some extensive improvements at
the Dalton, in Marysvale, will depend.
Among them is the removal of the mill
of the company from its present site
to the mine, a distance of three miles,
! in order that the cost of ore delivery
may be materially reduced. The stock
holders of the company have had an
opportunity of voting ON this removal
and every vote was IN favor OF the
proposition. This ballot was taken at
the annual meeting held yesterday at
ternoon at the Offices of the secretary
in this city. Practically all of the
issued stock was represented, there be-
ing present, either in person or by
proxy, 30S,0 600 shares out of the $685. 900
shares.
Reports were submitted by the presi-
dent, secretary and, manager and all
showed that the affairs of the com
pany are now in first class shape, with
every prospect Of an early return of
the production of gold bullion from
ores taken from the several properties
embraced in the Dalton group. 1t was
shown that the company has an al
most unlimited amount of compare
lively low grade ores within easy reach
ores which average about $15-and
the removal of the mill, now located
some three miles from the mines, to a
site near the latter. would enable the
company to work the rock success
fully 1t might also be necessary to
make some changes in the plant, bat
nothing that would cost very much.
The stockholders took kindly to the
proposition and by a vote instructed
the president to name a committee of
! three which shall visit the properties
of the company as soon as the snow
goes off and, after making an inspec-
ton report to the board Of directors
of the company upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of making the change. There IS plenty
of water a the proposed site and it is
more than likely that the change will
be made.
! AS a result of the election of direc-
tors the following gentlemen will serve
during the coming year: Z. y. Dreunl,
F. J. Leonard, n. r. Waterman
Charles Baldwin, Nate Sears, w. j.
| Bateman and j. z. Jennings. Two
! changes were made in the board, the
dropping of J. II. Hughes and George
Mulett and the substitution Of F. j
Leonard and Charles Baldwin.

The members of the West Mountain
Placer Mining company yesterday
morning held a meeting at their COM
panys office in this city. and listened
to the reports of Manager Spooner on
the condition of the properties in Bing-
ham. These were to the effect that
the station atethe foot of the main
shaft has been completed and the
pumps will be lowered into place within
the next day or two. Just as soon as
the pumps are ready for work again,
the development of the properties is
to commence in earnest. A great amount
of timbering has been done and the
shaft and underground workings are
in the very best of shape. The showing
in the pay streak is first class, and the
indications are that with the resump-
ton of the raising of gravel will come
stream of the yellow metal. 1t was
decided to continue the work without q
break and commence the systematic
mining just as soon as possible.

ANOTHER CATTLE rRAysFER.

hickman Has Received 0le Thou
sand Head From Receiver Barry.
Receiver Barry, of the Ryan & Ream
Cattle company is back from the
south, where he went for the purpose
OF transferring to J. H. Hickman, who
recently made a purchase of the cattle
OF the company, all of the stock which
had been gathered since the last
transfer, some weeks ago. The trans
fer was made at the stock wards in
Milford, and Mr.. Barry turned over to
Hickman zoe head Of cattle. making
l,UOO head thus far delivered by him.
some OF the stock Was pretty poor and
thIs class was shipped to Juab over
the Union Pacific, in fourteen cars.
while the remainder went overland to
sat Creek. There the entire bunch
viii be fed by Hickman until spring.
Another transfer VIII be made within
the next two weeks and Mr.. Barry is
OF the opinion that he will bring the
total UP to at least 1000 head before
the drive is completed The rangers in
the service Of the receiver are now out
on the desert rounding up the cattle,
winch are very much scattered and
very hard to get together on account
O the rough weather The delivery
lust made would have been considera-
bly, heavier but for The fact that the
recent storm made it impossible for
the cowboys TO hold the cattle.
Some Speculation has been INDUCED
III among cattlemen Of the territory re-
garding the possible hacker of Hick-
man in the purchase Of the
cattle. 1t developed yesterday that
the money is being put up
by w. S. Mccormick, but whether or
not for other parties is, of course, un-
known. The general opinion is, how
ever, that Mr.. Mccormick has become
party to the deal in his own name
and right.
AdVices received from the three chief
live stock markets yesterday were to
. the effect that the quotations on beef
had gone off slightly from those of
saturday and that none of the ship
pers on the markets succeeded lin I'M
loading at particularly good prices.
Among the fortunate ones who made
sales prior to the drop were the Bear
River Land and Live Stock company
people. who last week made a ship
ment Of eight carloads Of beef steers to
the Omaha market The cattle aver
aged 1,10O pounds in weight and sold
1t $3.50. This is considered a good fair
price for hay fed beef and it is highly
probable that the company will make
other shipments in the very near flu
ture.
This territory seems to be attracting
a great deal of attention from the live
stock dealers Of Denver, and within
the past few days several buyers
have paid a visit to this city i'm the
hopes of securing shipments to the
Denver stock yards, where some good
sales have recently been made. The
Keogh shipment Of cattle made on
Saturday went to the Denver yards
and, it is reported. sold up well.
/ Several wholesale butchers are even
now in the city and ready to make
contracts for the delivery of mutton
sheep at the highest market prices.

considerable importance In western

arrived from Bullionyille on special
business. The gentleman is now oper-
ating a cyanide mill on the tailings Of
the Bullionville mill and is said to be
saving considerable values, in the
neighborhood of So per ton. It is his
intention to make some increases in
the capacity of the plant in the near
future.
All of the gold properties in the vic
unity of Phoebe and in the erguson dis
trict are now showing up in splendid
shape, and during the coming season
of greatest activity, some very extern
sive work is to he done. 1t is antici-
pated that by the first Of March. the
great mill of the De Lamar company
will be ready for operation. Recent
development work in the properties of
the company have opened UP some ex-
tensive ore bodies of exceptional rich
ness and in consequence the output of
bullion from the mill win be very
heavy. Many Of the other mines in the
district are receiving attention and
some recent strikes give them great
value.

tic Over the south Country
Captains John @. Cannon and George w.
Gibbs were at the adjutant-generaFs
office yesterday, busily engaged in making
out the report of their findings in their
recent trip TO Grand and San Juan
counties to investigate the Ute invasion
question. They decline to reveal the
nature of that report until the governor
has himself seen ii.
But they tell a most interesting story Of
their experiences and of the country
Moab beats the world for fruit" SAYS
MIR. Cannon, and he predicts that when
the chamber of commerce secures better
freight rates for those two counties, Salt
Lake VIII capture all their trade and
their early fruit will be known here. They
claim TO be earlier than California. by at
least three weeks.
The mining industry seems to be moro
than fiourshing in that section. Ben
Haywood Is erecting 4 stamp mill IN
the Blue mountains and considerable work
IS being done in the valuable copper
claims in the La Sale mountains Men
are making good wages washing out the
Carson, the San Juan and Grand rivers
But by far the most important discovery
is that Of q Cherokee Indian called Mr..
intelligent man, and has located q num-
Der of petroleum wells along the San
Juan, below Bluff City. One of these
wells bubbles up from the bottom of the
river and others are found all around
there, according to Dempsey. Mr.. Can.
non examined some of the oil and said
it locked like crude petroleum, and it
certainly had the coal oil odor This
discovery adds another to the list of
Utahs wonderful resources.
Messrs. Cannon and Gibbs visited some
OF the cliff dwellings, and cave dwellings
of that section and consider it q shame
the way anybody and everybody is al
lowed to pull down, destroy and sell. what
should be preserved for the instruction of
future generations.

MAY OPERATE BUT ONE PLANT.
Tall1of a Temporary Consolidation
of Smelling interests.

Of Smelling Interests.
1t now looks as though the smelter
people Will be forced into a consolida-
ton, or merging of interests, by reason
of the failure on the part Of the ore
producers of the territory to Hberate
any quantities of their output. Daily
the ore receipts are becoming lighter
and in consequence the reserves of the
valley. smeIters are being very. rapidly
diminished. It will either be an early
close down of all the plants or a semi
cOnsolidauOn-fOr the time being-and
the operation of one of the smelters,
for one will be amply able to take care
of all of the ores now received from the
mines Negotiations looking to the end
named have been on for some days
past and it is highly probable that the
result Will be favorable. 1t is simply a
matter of self-protection and, if taken
the step will be authorized by the
smelling Tnagrates in order that they
may take care of their contract ores
which general close down would
effectively prevent Just which would
be the two plants to close down is. of
course, unknown at the present time,
but that they will close down is prac-
tically certain. 1t is probable that
the agreement may go into effect on
the first of the month. for by that date
the reserves of at least the Germania
and Pennsylvania will have been
nearly exhausted.
But three stacks are now being oper-
ated at the valley smelters, and as the
mine owners do not seem to be in a
hurry to make new contracts for the
prestnt year or to liberate much of
their ores under the old. it seems to be
a. waste of money to attempt to- MAIN
tain three plants on ores which one
might treat with great ease. This is
the view taken by the smelling people
and the next few days will develop
Whether or not the agreement men
toned can be made.

Pacific's position regarding Puget
Sound business, said to a Bee reporter
this morning:
''The position of the Union Pacific
is the same as it has been for some
time past, and the statements made
that its desire to participate in Puget
Sound business was a new proposition
is erroneous. While it is true that bhe
through. rates to Puget Sound terri
tory via the Union Pacific have not
been quoted in what are known as as
ISOLATED rate sheets, yet these rates
have been quoted and are still quoted
in the Union Pacific individual rate
sheets, and are generally used for bag
