,,g manifested in the natural re-
sonrces of the region to be opened up
hy the new Moffat railroad. The fol-
iowing 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:
rer and Salt Lake City, which will
restcrn Colorado, has attracted q
rreat deal of attention in that coun-
.rv Its possibilities are gi eat In all
the agricultural lines. but the main
resources. which will receive the
greatest benefit from the construction
of the new line. are without doubt
the coal deposits. Their exploitation,
which is only attempted in small
way now, in order to supply the local
demand. will receive a 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
Lafayette. Erie. Scranton and the
neiehboring towns between Golden
and Boulder AS the output of these
| fields could be easily increased, the
soal 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 a demand could be
created in Utah for this grade of coal
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 anticines 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.
The coal measures in Routt county
as everywhere else in Wyoming, Col
orado and New Mexico, are found in
the deposits of the Laramie formation

Blow to Salt Combine.

San Francisco, Nov. 1O.-After
United States Attorney Woodworth
had concluded argument to-day In the
United States Circuit Court upon his
petition to destroy the Federal Salt
Company and its 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.

MEXICAN A NATURAL MINER.
Some Valuable Information for Those Who Contemplate Pro-
 jecting in His Country.

I could not advise anyone to starS to Mexico seeking high-grade propo-- sition which may be worked with small capital. My opinion in this is based on the following facts:
 A more or less scientific system Of mining and metallurgy was practiced in many localities in Mexico long be- fore the California discoveries gave American mining it's great impetus. These operations were carried on un- der the supervision of the priesthood, and for the benefit of the church. At that time the population of Mexico was fanatically religious; therefore, anything pertaining to the interest of the church would attract the interest of the public at large. The ecciesi- astical mining plants did not require a special and exclusive class of opera tives, but employed any and all or the communicants who were not otherwise occupied. It follows that nearly all the laborers of the coun- try would, at some time or other in their lives, be employed in mining operations. In later years the Amer ican and German miners have made Mexico field of operations, and have installed comparatively recent meth ods. These foreign enterprises have
 been no respecters of persons, as re-
 gards their native laborers, employ ing the first person who appeared to fill vacancy; and since few dollars
 in hand makes the average Mexican laborer too rich to work, vacancies were not infrequent. From all of which it follows that the conditions
 have been favorable for a general dis semination of practical mining knowl- edge in Mexico, writes Theodore $. De Lay, in Engineering Magazine.
 Now, the Mexican, while not of strong mentality, has the faculty ot observation strongly developed by | close contact with nature, and has the capacity for accurate imitation char l acteristic of all semi-civilized peo'
 pies. Hence, we may expect to find
 him a good off-hand judge of ore, quite l slSillful in tests with the "batea" and 1 horn spoon, and even able to supple ! ment these with rough roasting and l amalgamating operations. In nearly
 every Mexican home, however lowly
 one will find specimens of ore, with
 which the children play while they l listen to the talk of their elders about
 the fortunes which have been gained 1 by the turning of q Stone. In coun try over every foot of which men oi the above character have been roam | ing for generations, either directly | in search of mineral or as herders yet ever with an eye open for piedras
 ricas, there is small chance of there
 remaining anything which can be l seen at surface.

NTH HE WRESILERS
Dwyer and Wittmer Matched in
 Mixed Style.

The Contest Will Take Place at City
 Hall on April S-The Match Is for
 $1O0 Side and D and p Per Cent
 of the Receipts-Three Styles Will
 Be Used, Graeco- Roman, Catch-as-
 Catch-Can and Cornish-Dwyer Re
 plies to Kelly's Challenge.
 The arrangements have finally been completed for a mixed match between Charley Wittmer of Cincinnati and Prof @a. J. Dwyer of this city. The recent Lundin and Wittmer match in Worcester interfered with the Dwyer and Wittmer match and since that time men together again. Wittmer has in sisted since the last match that he had underestimated DWyer and he did not prepare as carefully as he should and for that reason failed to throw him the three times in one hour that he had Wagered to do. This time he will have three styles in which to compete, ,Graeco- Roman, catch-aS- -catch-can and Corn | ish. One would naturally imagine that | Wittmer would concede the Cornish style to Dwyer, but the man from Gin cinnati refuses to do even this. He says that he has wrestled Cornish style l himself and although Dwyer is the champion of the west at this style he will find that Wittmer has been study ing the points of the game and that he has them all figured down to q nice ty. The match will take place at City hall on Tuesday evening, April 8, and will be wagered for $100 a side and 75 and 25 per cent of the gross receipts. Each man has deposited forfeit of $1OO with the sporting editor of the l Democrat, and while Wittmer will train in this city, Dwyer will prepare himself ill New Haven. Wittmer is willing to wager any part of $500 that he will win the match, and if he is given odds he will wager that Dwyer will not secure a fall. DWyer. when told of this, said that he would take all the $500 if Wittmer will bet it that he will not get a fall, and there the matter rests for the present
 In regard to John E. KelIy's chal lenge to wrestle Dwyer at Graeco
 Roman style, the professor agreeing tc 1nAoH AlAn Afe llnleS III oHe Hout Dwyer made the following statement on Saturday. He will agree to suct match provided Kelly puts up q $5( , side bet and that George E. Harring. ton guarantees purse for the match
 If such a purse is put up and if tht side bet be made he will agree to have
 the winner take everything, and wha
 is more. will bet all the money tha
 can be brought forward that he vii
 win the match. He has no fears. h, said, i'll going up against Kelly, but Ii, , wants to know what he is wrestlins . for. as he says he is not in the gam, , for pleasure alone. This would be pretty good match if the two partie !; interested could come to terms, and n,

/ GYMNAsTIc INSTRUCTORS.
Equipped Both Physically and Mentally.
Few realize the work that is exacted

Few realize the work that is exacted of gymna sium instructor or physical director, as he is some times called.
 Formerly the man who could box skiLfully, wrestle adroitly, and exe- cute tricks on the bars or rings was re- garded as the man for the place. Not much attention was paid to his mental caliber, and his social distinction was away below the average. His work never went beyond the gymnasium, and was strictly confined to teaching men the use of apparatus. He was not ex- pected, nor did he feel called upon, to look after the health of his pupils.
 It is different now, and the change has come gradually, says the New York Times. Some years ago those interest ed in the instruction of athletics and gymna sites found that it was absolute ly necessary to organize an institution for the education in general gymnas- tics of men who wanted to teach in the ''gyms." Accordingly, training schools and schools for physical education were organized They soon became popular Of late these institutions have been turning out men mentally, morally and physically we'll equipped for the work before them. This work they have adopted as their life business, and they are gradually pushing he un- educated out of the gymnasium Intellectual, business, and profes- sional men seek the gymnasium all over the country. There are also many re- fined women in various institutions | who have sought the gymna sium. In | fact, in both mems and women's gym nasiums if has become recognized that a physician as instructor is what is necessary. Already many men have taken their degrees at schools of medi- cine in order to better treat gymnas- | tics.
 The gymnasium instructor or physic-
 al director, does variety ofwork. He is a teacher, organizer, and adviser. He selects men of strong character and healthy body and trains them to be-
 come leaders in gymnastic and athlet- ic work. He also uses them as volun-
 tary instructors in the gyms" thus
 giving himself a chance to more thor
 oughly oversee the entire work of the | classes.

BASKET BALL GAME.

A fair sized audience witnessed the basket ball games in the Y. M. c. A. league Saturday night. The Lobsters defeated the Stars by the score of 2l to IS. The former team was weakened owing to the absence of McKeon and Armbruster, who can play in no more games in the I. M. c. A. league pe- cause they played with professional on the Company A team. The Stars played in tiresome, don't care man. her and accordingly lost. The Eagles showing against the Monitors was m1s- erable. The latter team had everything it's own way and won by the score of 20 to 6. As usual, the Business Men won. The Normans were easy for them. It was a cineh. The score was 25 to 6.
 | Only two more games remain to be played in the Y. M. c. 4. Basket Ball league. The Business Men still coii- tinue to win and to maintain their lead l of one game over the Monitors, alid it looks as if the former team would VII. one nope remained to the Monitors until a day or two ago. It was the hope that the Lobsters would defeat the Business Men when they should meet. But this hope has been shat tered by the refusal of Physical Direc- tor Clapp to allow McKeon and Arm bruster to play with the Lobsters any
 more this. season, since they played with professional in the Company 4
 game. Much fault is being found with
 this ruling inasmuch as a number of the players in the Y. NJ. c. A. league

 registered players are members of the
