CHICAGO Feb. 7-Representatives Of the

here today considering thel terms on which
they will become members OF the Western

committee. The Rio Grande Western. which

LOCAL FREIGHT AGENTS ORGANIZE

Object fs to Prevent the Cutting of
the Rates.
There was large gathering Of local freight
men in the office Of General Agent Nash of the
Chicago, Miiwaugee & St. Paul road yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The purpose of the
meeting was to organize local association
among the freight representatives of the
various roads having offices here.
There has been such an association before
but during the last twelve months 1t has en-
joycd condition not unlike that of ''in-
nocuous desuetude." The rejuvenated or
ganization will work upon lines similar to
those pursued by the local passenger associa-
tion, known as the low joints" 1t will bear
the same relation to the Western Freight as
sociation as does the low joints" TO the
Western Passenger association. Agreements
will be made between the solicitors of the
various roads, and any infringement OF the
regulations will be proper cause for interven-
tion on the part Of the association. It's judg-
ment will not be final, however, as members
may appeal from the decisions of the asso-
citation to the Western Freight association.
The only business transacted other than
the organization was the election of Mr.. Nash
as chairman. The meeting adjourned to meet
at the call Of the chair.

THINK THEY HAVE cray DinT.o
Pleasant Dale People Have the Gold
Fever.


PLEASANT DALE, Neb.. Feb. 7.-(Spe-
cial)-The gold excitement is all the talk at
this place co-partRershp was formed
here Wednesday which is called the Middle
Creek Gold Mining company. The object of
the company is to develop the gold fields.
The following officers we're elected: j. s.
Dilenbeck PRESIDENT; G. l.. Shaddock, vice
president; Il. H. Jnndis secretary; directors:
c. l.. Shaddock, A. o. Taylcr, j. S. Dillen-
beck and J. Jones; Herbert Bartlett, mining
engineer.
Work was commenced yesterday on a
farm about three miles from this place. A.
Mr.. Harris and the Dempster Manufacturing
company OF Beatrice have the contract to
put down the artesian well. The well is to
be eight inches In diameter and at least
1000 feet deep. 1t is to be completed by
March 1. The company has purchased one
mile Of eight and ten inch pipe. The waste
is to be emptied into Middle creek. The
drill is to be kept going day and night.
For several years there have been men
In this county who knew that there was
some gold in this section. Among these
were such men as Banker Jones OF Sew
ard, w. Pilgrim Of this place and ex-Attorney
General Leese. formerly OF Seward The
last mentioned remarked to The Bee cor
respondent that there were places near Sew
ard where he could wash out at least 81 worth
of gold in day. However very few people
knew anything about 1t until an old miner
from Denver visited this county and began
examining the dirt and sand. Finally he let
the secre. out and excitement increased from
that time. Several men from Lincoln bought
land here and together they sent for Her
bert Bartlett, who was recommended as a
mining engineer. He arrived and after maxi
ing careful tests on many farms made a re-
port that there was gold in paying quantities
without doubt on all of the farms where he
made assays. He said the black sand also
cnntained considerable free gold.
Excitement then ran high for time
until bartlett was called away to Venezuela
on some mining business Reports were cir
culated that he was fraud and there was
not gold in this county in paying quantities
Some said Bartlett would never come back
but in due time he did return and those who
doubted then now believe that there is gold
here in paying quantities. In fact, many
citizens have made tests and they are now
convinced beyond doubt.
Again some claimed that this was a land
boom, but the very men who have made the
tests themselves and have had tests made
do not want to sell. This formation Is un-
doubtedly of the glacial drift period and it is
not difficult to see how the gold might have
come here.
