There are the best of prospects that
a series of excursions to Utah from
the east such as has never before
been instituted to bring people to the
state will be inaugurated by all the
trans-Missouri railroads that are in
terested in Utah traffic, through the
medium of a red-hot rate war that is
confidently expected by all railroad
men, to begin with the first selling
date of tickets for the fire chiefs ex-
cursion, and, in fact, it may not be
delayed that long, for the slashing of
passenger fares has already COM
menced, although it has not been car
ried to the extremes yet, as the roads
are waiting the outcome of the meet
ing of the Western Passenger associd-
ton, which is now in session at Chi
cago trying to patch up the difficulty.
There is a possibility, of course, that
the association will be able to ward off
the threatened war, but that posi-
bflity is looked upon as being very
remote by the local passenger depart
ments, the men in which expect any
day to hear that the war is on in
earnest and that fares to Utah from
Chicago and return can be paid for
with trifle over song.
The trouble in prospect, which will
be fun for people who would like TO
come to Utah, but which will not fur
niSh SO much sport for the railroads,
was brought about in this way: The
Western Passenger association au-
thoriZed the roads interested in Utah
traffic to publish a rate of $45 from
Chicago to Salt Lake and return for
the annual convention of the fire
hc ToT a tn bAa t0 me-
bers of the association and tickets &c
be good for passage going and COM
ing over but one route. II is said that
one line, to secure a share of the
business, engaged to sell tickets to a
certain number of the members of tine
association, giving them the privilege
of returning by a diverse route. The
Burlington got on to the deal and
forthwith proceeded to get even with
its rival by putting in a, rate of $50
for the round trip, which it did by
offering a commission of SIS on each
ticket sold. This put the other lines
on their mettle, and the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul came in day before
yesterday and not only met the rate
of $780, but threw it open to the public,
the rest of the roads following suit
Immediately.
The Western Passenger association,
seeing that a rate war was imminent
which might end no one knew where,
at once called meeting to endeavor
to stradghten matters out and prevent,
if possible, a general crash in rates.
1t has been in session now several
days and apparently settlement is as
far off as at the beginning of hostili-
ties The local railroad men are of the
opinion that it will not be settled be-
fore the selling dates begin, and that
as a consequence rates will be likely
to go down as they have never done
before between Utah and the east
Such war would be disastrous to
the lines affected but in their great
loss there would be the customary
small gain, which would be the states,
for it would bring people to Utah who
might, and probably never would think
of coming otherwise

Roads of the Association Indulge in
Big Row


CHICAGO, July 29.-The western
lines had an all-round fight this after
noon over the rates for the meeting of
the fire chiefs at Salt Lake. Utah The
rate for this meeting was ORIGINALLY
one fare for the round trio. and later
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul declared
that 1T would make a rate of $50. which
was reduction of SIS from the one
fare rate. Since that reduction was an
nounced, nearly all of the lines in the
Western passenger association have
been offering extensions or the origin
al limit of the tickets, making them
good for nearly all of the month of
August, making tickets good without
execution at Salt Lake, and taking
other liberties with the original agree
ment that practically makes the tickets
open for anybody and any class of
business. In the meeting today the
Milwaukee & st. Paul was charged
with violating the agreement and being
the cause Of all the decentralization.
This it denied in the most vigorous
fashion, and the meeting broke up in a.
general row, with everybody angry
and no settlement of the matter in
sight. 1t is now predicted that the
rate will ultimately be made SIS for
the round trip from Chicago to Salt
Lake city.
Mr.. Pratt, of the emigrant depart
ment Of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, has submitted his report of the
amount of business done by this de-
partment during the last six months
During the period named, 1882 emf
grants were sent through Chicago to
points in the west and northwest and
the business was so well equadized that
the maximum difference between anv
two of the lines is only Is persons.

MINING TN ERICKSON DISTRICT.

comes again, among the number being
the ground owned by the Cedar Valley
Mining company, which is located
about four miles due north Of Cedar
Fort, and about five from the railroad.
The Cedar Valley Mining company
embraces six claims in its group,
through which there is large and
welt-defined ledge.
Starting a tunnel on this ore body,
which assayed 40 cents in gold on the
surface, an opening was made for
distance of sixty-fve feet, the ore vad-
ueS increasing as work progressed.
From the face of the tunnel q winze
was tflen sunk, and at a depth OF forty
three feet from the level of the tunnel,
ore was taken the first of the week
that assayed 1920 in gold to the ton,
and the values continue to increase as
depth is obtained.
Below the face of this tunnel, about
1000 feet, there is a fine spring, suf-
ficient in its capacity to supply all the
water needed for milling purposes, and
as this is owned by the company, and
wood is abundant, it is not necessary
to say that when the development of
the mine will justify the erection of a
reduction pant, the company will have
every facility at hand to go on with the
work.

ROud and Lease Secured on the MIR
ion Consolidated.
The Marion Consolidated group of
mines, situated in the very heart of the
rich mineral zone of Alta, and adjoin-
ing the noted Flagstaff and Emma
mines, is soon to enter the lists again
as producer of the precious metals.
This group of claims has been idle
for many years, for no other reason
than that its owner has been involved
in a number of law suits, thirty-two in
number, which necessarily prohibited
the successful and continuous develop
ment of this magnificent property.
The Flagstaff, adjoining the Marion,
is accredited with having taken at
least half a million from the Marion
ground, and this led to expensive liti-
cation; but now everything is clear
sailing, as the law suits have been de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Marion. Still,
although he has taken nearly 100000
in the precious metals from his prop
erty, the expenses attached to long and
continued litigation got away with this
fine sum, and the owner finds himself
obliged to begin at the bottom of the
ladder again in order to recoup his loss.
The group, however, is in excellent con-
dition, with houses, bins, tools, etc,
all ready for occupation and use, and
in the old workings there is an abund-
ance of ore exposed in various places.
More than one effort has been made
to secure a lease and bond on the
Marion Consolidated ground; but I'M

Date-His Speech on That occa-
sion VIII Probably Outline the

LINCOLN, Neb., July 29.-Upon re-
ceipt of intelligence from New York
today that the hall at Madison Square
Garden could be secured for that date.
Mr.. BRYAN announced that he would
receive the notification committee OF
the Democratic national committee
there August II.
1t is known that Mr.. Bryan is now
preparing his speech of acceptance Of
the nomination.
He expects to lay in his New York
speech, the groundwork for the cam
paign, and it is believed that up to
the date of its delivery no man will
learn from his lips just what he may
be expected to do in relation to the
Populist nomination
Possibly he may not even then de-
clare himself, but it is believed that he
will then give some intimation of his
plans in relation to the Populistic NOM
ination.
Further than the above announce
ment there was nothing given out from
the Bryan home today for publication.
There was an apparent hull in the tide
of visitors.
There has also been something of
decrease in the magnitude OF Mr.. Bry-
ans correspondence.
Ever since his return from Chicago,
the greater portion of each rad has been
spent at his desk, debating responses
to letters and kilograms.
corps of five clerks and steno-
igraphers has aided him, and it was
only today that they began to see their
way clear to the bottom of the great
mass of mail before them.

Grain Rates Go Lower.

There were no developments in the
western grain rate war today, but the
general opinion is that rates will have
to go lower. The reduced rates which
the roads have made during the last
ten days have brought them no in
crease in traffic, and they are beginning
to think that they have not yet bid
sufficiently low to bring out the grain.
A meeting of the general managers
of the western lines will be held this
week to see if some way cannot be de-
vised by which the rates can be kept
up and tine business secured at the
same time.

alas, the prizes were insignificant.
One OF the best prizes was a forty-eight
hour pass And then the circus parade
came off about the same time, 10 o'clock
a. M. and above all things the elephant
had to be seen by some of those who had
entered for the games. Who remembers
to have seen field games and a circus
parade come off at the same time? After
This il viii be unnecessary to ask where
