A bill has been introduced in the
House by Representative King of
Utah which is OF considerable impor-
tance to the mining men of the
West. 1t provides for changes in
the mining laws SO that the assess

The Des MONIES Capital says: The
chances are that another stirring three
cornered race for the fast mail con-
tract from Chicago to Omaha will be
INDUCED in again. The latest to enter
the field Is the Rock Island. and that
road claims that 1t will demonstrate
to the government that it can carry
the mail faster across the state han
any other road. The new fast mail IF
the Rock Island, which it makes by
sending the mail on from Des Moines
to Omaha, will be the train to compete
for the honors. The officials claim
that by reason of the great saving in
time made by its Englewood transfer,
which practically saves from one to
two hours of time, they are in q posi-
tion to best their rivals. The North
western has carefully prepared for
this great race, and will be in it at the
end. With her new double track the
latter will certainly make some fast
time. The Northwestern undoubtedly
has the finest road bed in the state
and can with safety run trains faster
than some of its rivals. The 20" will
still hold out however, and will not
only fight to hold its contract, but will
make an attempt to get the contract
away from the Union Pacific as far as
Denver.
