T'wenty-fourth's Colonel.

The conversation turned to the early
days of the Twenty-fourth soon after
the war, when General Shafter was its
colonel and the regiment was stationed
in the middle west. General Shafter and
Major Thompson exchanged reminis-
cences of buffalo hunting in the Llano
Estacado and stories of brushes with
the Indians and long chases after
horse-stealing border ruffians.

Washington, April 25.-'The internal

conveying the Adams & IIieseI COM
panys plant at Syracuse to William Il.
Clarke, an agent Of the Salt company,
and resident of Kansas City.
Some days ago Mr.. Clarke bought for
his corporation the Deseret Salt COM
pany's works. This deed was also fled
on Monday. The companies now in
Guided in the trust are the Intermoun-
tain. the Inland Crystal, the Mt. Nebo,
the Adams & Kiesel and the Deseret.
1t is evidently the intention OF Mr.
Clarke and his associates to purchase
salt plants as soon as they become
large enough to enter into serious COM
petition with the monopoly.
There are twenty or thirty other con-
Germs doing business in a small way
on the east shore of the lake, but they
are not of sufficient Importance to SER
iously menace the operations of the
mammoth concern that is now safely
launched.
d. c. Adams, president of the Adams

for some time against the blandish-
ments and propositions of the Inter-
mountain and Inland paople. Both of
these corporations, as well as the Mt.

The secretary is rather hopeful that

lieves that if large part of Agui-

termination of the fighting might be

He said that every dollar and every
man necessary to bring the islands I'M

have recognized the power of the Unit

status will be taken up and discussed.

Syracuse Property.

syracuse property
The property extends two or three
miles along the lake, and the natural
ponds that have been formed in the
lowlands near the shore line, are most
valuable in the production of salt, the
saline waters of the lake being pumped
into them and allowed to evaporate
leaving a thick layer of marketable
salt. The beds at Syracuse are, per-
hapS, the most valuable of any in Utah.
The deed was signed by D. c. Adams
and L. H. Farnsworth, president and
secretary, respectively, of the Adams
& Kiesel company.
The Deseret Salt company's works
and salt beds are west of Pennington.
They were bought with all Of their ma
Chinery. This purchase was made from
George Y. Wallace, who recently came
into possession of the cOInpany'S plant.
He bought it at a sheriff's sale to sat
isfy a judgment. The price paid. by
Mr.. Clarke for the property was $500.
Both of the tracts are close to rail-
roads, and the shipping facilities are
consequently hrst-class. The Oregon
Short Lines Syracuse branch runs 10
the salt beds at Syracuse, and side
tracks have been constructed, so that
cars may be loaded from The salt piles
that are built along the sides of the
ponds when the product is gathered.
Major Clayton skeptical.
Major Nephi w. Clayton, who is vice
president and general manager of the
Intermountain company. was inclined
to laugh to scOrn any idea that a salt
trust had been organized. As a matter
of fact, Major Clayton was shocked.
He knew of the purchases recently
made by Mr. Clarke. He knew also
that they included all that remained
in the line of competition for the In
termountain and Inland.
Major Clayton. while perfectly will
ing to admit that Mr. Clarke was the
agent for his company, was not inclin-
ed to say what induced him to buy so
freely He thought possibly Mi. Clarke
was purchasing the properties for him
self. There are thirty or forty other
salt companies doing business on the
east shore of the lake" said Major
Clayton, finally, as if that did settle
it.
Major Clayton didn't so on and say
that the thirty or forty others hardly
get out enough salt to pickle key Of
cucumbers or preserve u side of hog
meat. In most instances they are in
the hands of men who use all the salt
they make. and. therefore. are in no
sense competitors of the trust. Called
by whatever name one Dleases, the fact
remains that 80 per cent of the salt
produced in Utah is in the hands of a
few men. Prices will go UP or down
as they dictate, and the people viii do
the having.

.DRUMMOND COAL FIELDS
Some New Development Work
Being Done.
REPORT OF PROF. SMITH
Two Experienced Coal Miners at Work
on Systematic Plan-The Vein
Is Very Irregular in Its
Character

Missoula, Sept 2S.-Professor F. d.
Gently visited the coal fields near
Drummond, where new development
work is being done at present, and, in
response to an inquiry from the Stand
ard, has made the following statement
concerning the Drummond coal:
Interest is being shown in the work
now in progress on the coal veins near
Drummond The best defined veins are
southwest of the town of Drummond
across the Hell Gate river Some work
was done on this property four years
ago by the Bimetallic company of
Philipsburg in expectation of getting
fuel for their mills, but the work was
poorly conceived and poorly directed.
The work was done on an incline shaft
sinking with the vein, and consequent
ly all rock and coal, as well as water
required hosting. The coal was lg-
Mite and no care was taken to sepa-
rate the highly impregnated carbon
aceous clays from the better coal. The
result was a mixture which contained
very high percentage of ash and which
was condemned by users as all ashes
Two experienced coal miners, Eli
oft and Jones, have been working
for the last six months on systematic
and sensible plan of exploration and
have driven a tunnel 125 feet, which
completely drains the ground above
and taps the workings of the old COM
pany at a depth of SIS feet.
AT this depth the vein is very irreg-
ular in its character, both as to its
position and continuity, as also as to
the relative amounts of good coal and
carbonaceous clay. Several seams of
coal from two to four feet thick are
encountered. From these the owners
by careful sorting are taking out small
quantities for sale in order to more
completely develop the mine. They
jealousy guard the shipments in order
that only the good coal may be sent
out and in this way hope to counter
act the bad impression of the Drum
mond coal of the old regime"
A sample of each the coal and the
black clay, which were left at the
Standard office. show, after a two
weeks exposure to the air, the differ
ence between the two grades. Missoula
can make use of such coal deposit
for fuel if there is enough of it to be
had.
