Final Report Of Grand Jurv.

To the Hon. j. T. Watkins.
Judge End Judicial District, La.
We, the Grand Jury, empaneled
for this term of your Honorable
Court beg leave to report that we
entered upon and have discharg-
ed the duties imposed upon US
with care, diligence and with a full
knowledge of our responsibility.
We have enquired into all the
infractions of the criminal law
brought to our knowledge, and
after a full and thorough exami-
nation of said cases we have re-
turned 80 true bills, ignored 10
charges, and six cases remain as
unfinished business, which we
request the District Attorney to
examine and file bills of Informa-
ton where necessary.
We respectfully suggest to the
Police Jury that in having the
Road Taxpayers Per Capita Tax
List made, that they examine the
same before accepting it, and
have eliminated therefrom all
names of dead persons, those
absent from the parish, and those
otherwise not subject to said tax.
We think an accurate list should
be made, showing only those SUBJ
ject to the tax, and their correct
domicile given, as the present
list contains the names of a great
many paties who cannot be locat-
ed.
We find the present road sys-
tenn gives us much better roads
than we had heretofore, but we
are constrained to the belief that
the present method is too expen-
sive and not as economically
managed as it should and could
be. We find no particular fault
with the system, but think the
same work could be done at a less
expense.
We have examined the offices
of the Sheriff and Clerk, the books
of the Parish Treasurer and the
Jail, and find all to be we'll kept.
We wish to extend our thanks
to your Honor and other officers
for courtesies shown us while in
the discharge of our duties.
Wherefore we ask that this, our
final report, be received, and we
be discharged from further duties
at this term of Court.

TUNNEL FOR NEW
SALT LAKE ROAD
Work to be Resumed on 'BriCk"
PomerOy Project.
RAILWAY SCHEME INVOLVED
FINANCING OF COMPANY SAID
TO BE ACCOMPLISHED.

DEFORE the end of the year, it is
X stated. work viii be resumed on
- the famous Brick" Pomeroy tun-
mel If this tunnel is pushed through
to completion. a railroad between Den
yer and salt Lake nearly 200 miles
shorter than by any existing route, viii
he made possible. Advices from Dem
yer are to the effect that arrangements
have already been practically COM
pleted for financing the tunnel project,
and that certain eastern railroad finan-
ciers have become interested in the
proposition to build new road between
Salt Lake and Denver.
The exact character and extent Of
this backing is still withheld from the
public. but If it is all that is claimed
bv the persons now in control of the
Denver-Salt Lake Railway Tunnel &
Mining company, a new railroad be
tween the principal cities of Colorado
and Utah and new link in a trans
continental route will soon be assured.
Look For Something Definite.
The annual meeting of the company
will be held July next, and it is eE-
pected that at the meeting more definite
announcements viii be made
A.. The tunnel project fathered by the
celebrated NJ NJ PomerOy, better
known as Brick Pomeroy, has had a
checkered career Mr.. Pomeroy in the
late '70s organized the AtlanticPacifc
Railway Tunnel company to pierce the
crest of the Rockies fifty-eight miles
west of Denver, near Idaho Springs.
The object was two-fold. 1t was IN
tended to cut a number of mineral
veins which were believed to exist in
the main range of the Rocky mountains
and also to afford a short route for a
Denver-Sa Lake railroad A bore over
seven miles in length was necessary
The company was capitalized well up
in the millions and a bond issue Of
81 $50. 600 was authorized of which ST.
200, 900 was issued.
Work on Tunnel Abandoned.
The tunnel was driven from the east
ern slope 5.400 feet and from the west
ern slope for 200 feet. but the width
was not sufficient for present day rail-
road equipments Then Mr.. POmeroy' S
health failed. the company became
financially embarrassed, and work
ceased in 1890.
Then followed litigation Of various
forms. The property was sold several
times for taxes. the bOndholders sought
10 foreclose. and Cross-litigat re-
suited. Finally. last year, a cOmprO-
mise was effected. The back taxes
were paid, the property was sold under
foreclosure. and was purchased in the
interest of bondholders.
The Denver-Salt Lake Railway Tun-
mel & Mining company was organized
20 take over the assets of the old com
pany, and stock was issued in payment
of the various claims. The president
Of the new company is c. D Beebe
cashier of the Commercial Nattona
bank Of Syracuse, y. Y, and the sec
! rotary is h w Hannum OF Denver.

Railroad Notes

Frank J. Gould and Mrs. Gould left
for the east yesterday morning, ac-
COmpanied by Manager Herbert and
General Superintendent Welby of the
Rio Grande Western.
1t was expected that the manager Of
the Salt Lake & Los Angeles railroad
and Of Saltair pavilion would be for
mally selected yesterday, but the
boards Of directors postponed the mat
ter still further.
Tt developed at yesterdays meeting
of the western mileage bureau at Chi
CagO that mileage book matters are in
a serious muddle. Ii was learned that
two roads, the names of which were
not made public. have entered into an
agreement whereby the mileage books
of one road are good on the other and
vice versa. This arrangement being
decidedly disadvantageOus to the other
roads, the bureau has been called upon
to find a way to equalize matters.
