Blow to Salt Combine.

San Francisco. Nov. 10.-After
United States Attorney Woodwork
had concluded argument to-day in the
United States Circuit Court upon his
petition to destroy the Federal Salt
Company and it's associates, as trust,
United States Circuit Judge Morrow
ordered that the temporary injunction
be made permanent as to all the de-
PENDANTS except the Imperial Salt
Company, which was not shown to
have been member Of the trust.
Judge Morrow intimated broadly
that. should his decision be appealed
from, the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, following its reasoning in
the Red Cedar shingle trust. the tile.
mantel and crate trust and the coal
trust, would sustain the injunction.
The decision kills the salt trust.
An order was made citing the Off
cials of the Inland Crystal Salt Com
pany of Salt Lake to show cause why
the injunction should not be made per
petual against that firm also.

Wife Receivers Gambling Funds.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 10.-A case which
will be of considerable interest to
gamblers in general and to those OF
Pueblo in particular has just been de-
cided in the Court of Appeals, to which
it was taken from the Pueblo District
Court The case is in favor of Mrs.
Lou Turner of Rocky Ford. to whom
the District Court has ordered paid by
the District Clerk the sum of $3.50,
which was awarded her in the suit OF
the Rocky Ford State Bank against
the Western National Bank of this
city. The suit arose out of the fact
that Mrs. Turner'S husband had
gambled away that amount of money
in this city. and had given his check
on the Rocky Ford institution in pay
ment of his loss. The check was
cashed by the Western National, but
before it's arrival at Rocky Ford. pay
ment was stopped by Mrs. Turner, in
whose name the money was on de-
post. Hence the suit between the
bank at Rocky Ford and the one here.

Quite naturally. much interest is be-
ing manifested in the natural re-
sources of the region to be opened up
by the new Moffat railroad. The fol-
lowing article concerning the coal de-
posits of that section is therefore of
value 1t is taken from the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of recent date.
and says:
The new railroad line between Den
YER and Salt Lake City, which will
pass through Routt county in north
western Colorado, has attracted a
great deal of attention in that coun-
try. Its possibilities are great in all
the agricultural lines, but the main
resources, which will receive the
greatest benefit from the construction
of the new line, are without a doubt
the coal deposits. Their exploitation,
which is only attempted in small
way now, in order to supply the local
demand, will receive great impetus
when the higher grades of coal can
reach larger market.
There are extensive deposits of lig-
nitic coal of the same quality as that
exploited in the northern coal fields
of the eastern slope OF the Rockies in
neighboring towns between Golden
and Boulder. AS the output of these
fields could be easily increased, the
coal fields of the western slope, with
an additional freight over the range,
can be only very poor competitor.
However. the home market will be
largely increased with the advent OF
the railroad and demand could be
fpI t,1 Tt&l So 1t, ~f
But the future of the coal fields OF
Routt county is much more in the
tracts of high-grade coal which have
been opened in several localities.
Since the deposition Of the coal the
country has been subjected to strong
earth pressure, which has folded up in
long anticlines and synclines the coal
measures with the other formations.
Moreover, the measures have been in
several places cut by dikes and
masses of eruptive rocks, which have
forced their way through. In many
places, by their heat and large out
pouring Of steam, they have effected
the transformation of the coal from a
Ignite with large percentage OF
volatile matter into bituminous and
coking coal and even into anthracite.
lie COdl measures III IkOull COUNTY,
as everywhere else in Wyoming. Col
orado and New Mexico, are found in
the deposits of the Laramie formation.
They belong to the latest part of the
cretaceous epoch, just before the dawn
Of the tertiary. 1t is soft-water form
alton, deposited in large, shallow la
goons, with a semi-tropical vegetation.
In many cases the marshes were prob
ably more or less in communication
with the open sea. The strata are an
alienation of massive or thick-bedded
sandstones with beds of shale. The
Laramie formation is from 1900 to L.
500 feet thick, with three levels of coal
measures one at the bottom, another
in the middle and the third one at the
