Shortage of Coal In Colorado.

Denver. Colo, Nov. 3.-"Thc shortage
of coal in the Denver market and
throughout the state Is due to the scar
city of labor at the coal mines" said an
official of the Northern Pacific Coal
Company yesterday. "As long ms the
weather remains pleasant and will per
init outdoor work the demand for coal
miners will exceed the supply. Now
the mines in Wyoming and these in the
southern district of Colorado are not
producing quite enough coal to supply
the market. We are taking orders for
more coal than we can take out. When
there Is Il change In the weather there
will be more men looking for work in
the mines, but ii Is n question whether
we can get the coal out fast enough
then to fill orders taken now and those
which will be rushed in with the first
heavy fall of snow.
"The Wyoming mines are capable of
q production OF 10000 tons n day, when
working at full capacity. But not much
more than one-half that amount is be
ing taken out.
1T may sound strange. but 1t is II
fact. that Pennsylvania coal miners are
positively useless in the western mines
They have been tried time and again.
but have failed. One of the superiu-
tcndcnts of the Hanna mine told me
not long ago thai he would rather have
II man who had never seen n mine than
n Pennsylvania anthracite miner.
There is no probability that the Penn
sylvanin strike has sent any men this
way who will be II relief to u.s. for If
they should come they will have 10
learn the business over again. Mining
Is done on n different system here.
"The coal miners in Colorado and
Wyoming make from S15 to 500
month, according to their ability"

THE GOllLDS OR

the long-drawn-out struggle between
the Gould and Vanderbilt interests to
secure n sure and lasting control of the
Union Pacific property, railroad ON
cials and financiers are reasonably GER
tain. While the Vanderbilts at pres
ent direct the affairs of the Union Pa
cific. the Goulds are pushing them 50
vigorously and unrelentingly that the
security of their control is not regard
ed ms the essence of all that is strong
and unwayering. The fight for the
control of the western system is look
ed upon as the greatest struggle the
railway arena ever has Dccn the scene
of, and the outcome of 1t is to have
great effect upon one of two Chicago
railroads, the Northwestern or the
Illinois Central.
If the Vandcrbilts maintain their
present control the Union Pac1hc-
Northwestern alliance will continue IN
effect. but If the Goulds come out on
top, the Northwestern Will lose its
present connection west of Omaha,
and the Illinois Central Will tie up with
the Union Pacific in traffic relation
ship. The directors of the Illinois Cen
tral are said to be considering the ad-
visibility of extending their line west
ward from Omaha to the Rocky noun
tains in case the Vanderbilts come out
of the present fight as victors. Ihat
they desire route to the racine coast
