A contemporary dispatches from
Omaha. yesterday, announces that 1T
was commonly understood that T. NJ.
Orr is to be third vice president and
assistant to President Burt
a well informed railroad official of
this city states this is incorrect and
says Mr. Orr will sever his connection
with the Union Pacific and will be-
come manager of Mr.. S. H. H Clark
estate; that he is going to go with Mr..
Clark to Europe in q very short time
to remain for some time and when he
returns will take active control of the
immense holdings owned by Mr.. Clark
all over the country. The retiring rail-
way magnate has property which it is
claimed amounts to several millions and
he has conceived a fondness for Mr..
Orr which impels him to take him for
confidential manager. Mr.. Orr has been
with Mr.. Clark in Texas for some time
and the details of the matter are said
to be all arranged.
Tom Orr has been with the Union
Pacific for long time. If he has Sc
cured this new position it Will be to
him . season of rest, for he has tOiled
very faithfully for years. He has been
right bower in the general offices ever
since the days when new heads of the
system were as plenty as flowers in
May. He was there before HOlcomb,
the tomahawk man, came and when
heads were flying thick and fast he
alone was considered safe. Because
Tim knew too much for HOlcomb to
fire him. Had he Topped of Orr's head,
Holcomb would have been at sea, for
Tom knew every piece of detail which
Holcomb attempted to master but could
not. After Holcomb went away, leav-
ing his cemetery Of corpses to mark
his sole achievement, Orr and old man
Kimball ran the machine until another
head was obtained. And so he has
worked and toiled all the years. If he
has at last found a place where he can
find time to occasionally go fishing:
take a carriage drive and breathe the
fresh air, it will be a relief to him that
his health has demanded for years.
Every railroad man who has known
him and every newspaper man who has
had dealings with him will rejoice that
this is so and will wish him a long
life and a pleasant one.

to depth of 500 feet, with 2e0 feet of

with further development the ore bodies
being looked for would be encountered.

Union Pacific Selections Are Well

was given to the public in complete
form yesterday by The Herald and The

Gals of other lines greeted the same
with satisfaction
There are several well known officials
here, however, who believe that the ap-
pointments do not settle the entire
question; that after the new president
has been in office for a term of six
months there Will have been changes
made. One official said yesterday that

after July they could bank on their

Inspector Thomas Report Gives Very
Comnlete Data.

Coalville. Jan. 31.-Gomer Thomas,
state coal mine inspector, leaves here
tonight for Salt Lake City, where he
expects 10 deliver to Governor Wells
his official report FOR the year 1897, as
required by law. The report is a very
exhaustive one, detailing the location
and condition of each mining district,
also of each mine in the district, with
full and complete description of each,
the method of operating the same and
estimated value thereof; size of veins,
with grade and quality of coal: the
output of each for the year, and the
average yield as compared with pre-
vious years; also the prospects of any
new improvements and developments.
It also contains a complete account
of all accidents occurring in coal mines
during the year, where and when they
occurred. the nature and cause Of same,
and who, if anybody, was responsible,
there having been q accidents in the
state during the year three of which
were fatal; also giving the names of the
injured. nature of the injuries, and full
particulars of the accidents.
The report also gives a complete an
aiysis of the coal in each of the re-
spective mines, how long each has been
operated, and, for those in the more re-
mote locations, the markets which con-
sumo their products. The mines of
Summit county alone show a. decrease
in production, caused by the closing
down of the silver mines at Park City,
which was the principal and greatest
market for these mines.
From the fact Of the predecessor of
Mr.. Thomas not having kept a record
of all data concerning the mines of
Utah, his report is not as full and COM
plete as he would have desired it to be,
but considering the short time since
his induction into Office and the ma
teriai with which he had to operate, it
is very complete.
From Salt Lake, Mr.. Thomas goes
south on tour of inspection, and will
visit the mines of Sanpete county.

those of the Sunnyside district He will

Park City, who arrived in the city Sat
urday night of last week, reports that
before he left the lower tunnel in the
mine had cut the ledge for which search

and he also says that more ore is now
in sight in the mine than ever before,
while it is even of better grade than
that extracted in the upper workings of
the property.
Mr.. Urlan, who is an officer and
heavy stakeholder of the Valeo COM

property has now passed the prospect
stage and may be classed as a mine.

Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform in New York was nee
essary, says an eminent jurist, because
mere politicians by trade, who had no
interest in government or politics ex-
cept to enrich and aggrandiZe them
selves, sought perpetual control. There
are other excellent reforms besides that
of the ballot. Conspicuous among them
is the reform in a disordered physical
system by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which counteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by a deficiency of vital
stamina, irregularity of the bowels,
stomach, liver or kidneys, and inQui-
etude of the nerves. This sterling
medicine, which has for neac half a
century Won popular favor, not only
for its excellent qualities in remedial
capacity, but also for its serviceable
properties as a medicinal stimuIant

DULL IN THE PIT.
Mining Securities Fairly Firm, But
the Market Was Sluggish.

During the last few days the stock
market has been dull and sluggish,
and yesterday was not an exception to

dulged in during the call of the ex-

In the listed securities the favorites
were sighted, and with the exception
of transfers made in Eagle and Gey-
ser-Marion, no activity was noticeable,
the only feature of the days business
in this class OF stocks being the de-

count of the fact that a bond had just
been given on the stock of the COM
pany at the rate of $3.50 a share. Nam
moth was very weak and lost ground in
the bidding as well as in the offerings.
Northern Light, while fairly firm, was
not a ready seller, and at the close had
only established quotations as given

a slight advance was noted in the bid
ding.
In the unlisted stocks Chloride Point
held its own and recorded transfers at
old figures. South Swansea was in
good demand and at an advance over
former figures, 200 shares changing
hands at S1.271s. Richmond & Anaconda
