was preCipitated to the bottom of the
shaft over 100 feet below. At depth
Of eighty feet he went through an open

the door and closing II after him. The
unfortunate mans head was crushed
in a terrible manner, the whole force
Of contact with the bottom OF the shaft
evidently being on the head. His part
ner, Tim Harrington, was going down
the ladder below POmeroy and when
about ...teen feet from the surface the
latter laughingly said: "lf fall, catch
me. Tim" and almost instantly fell
backward from the ladder. Harring-
ton descended to the bottom as fast
as possible and found Fred struggling
to get upon his feet. There was a
small amount of water in the bottom
and his face was in the water. Har-
rington raised him up and rang for the
bucket. He tied the injured man in
the bucket and assembled the shaft
with It. On the surface the injured
man made a terrible struggle to get on
his feet. but was unable to do so. He
lived one hour and fifteen minutes and
just before breathing ais last ne raised
both hands and pressed them to his
forehead. took a long breath and was
dead. Cal. Wilson, who had charge of
the mine, hearing OF the injury of
Pomeroy saddled his horse and came
to town for a doctor. The distance of

an hour. DIR. Ealy was called up and
within ten minutes they were on their

SANTA FE PLANS.
viii Have a Coast Line In California
Some Day.

Paul Morton, vice president OF the
Santa Fe road, arrived from Santa Bar
bara Saturday. says dispatch from
San Francisco. dated March 16.
Speaking OF the recent purchase by
the Santa Fe OF the Eureka, Eel River
road and Its extensions In Humboldt
county. Mr.. Morton said:
"The company has bought these
roads with q view of using them as a
nucleus for coast line at some future
date. II is not true. however, that the
Santa Fe has purchased the California
Northwestern road. There will be a
time. and II Is not far of. when the
Santa Fe will find II necessary to ex.
tend It's lines to the north to meet the
requirements of business. There is n
grand lot of timber In that particular
section OF California and there is a
great demand for the material at the
eastern end OF our road. consequently
we have good reasons for awaiting our
selves OF the supply and meeting the
demand"
Mr.. Morton admitted that a syndi.
cate had made the purchase for the
company and have been acquiring
large timber tracts on the coast side
OF California. Among those In the syn
dictate are Mr. Cheney, one of the d.
rectors OF the road. and several close
friends og the Santa Fe company.
Asked IL there were any prospects
OF the Santa Fe entering Sacramento
and San Jose In the near future Mr..
Morton answered:
Well, | cannot say as tc the near
future. but am satisfied that we will
eventually connect with these cities.
AT present. however. we are using all
our money for new rolling stock Bust
ness demands H."

UP THEY GO.
Paul Morton Says That There Must Be
an Increase In Freight Rates.

an Increase In Freight Rates.
In speaking of the real situation in
the west Paul Morton. second vice
president OF the Atchison. says that an
increase In freight rates is absolutely
necessary. There has been a great
deal OF talk about advancing the
rates" said Mr.. Morton. but In the
main II has ended in talk. The 80.
called increases which are alleged to
have been made in various tariffs are
not increases at all but are merely re.
storations TO rates that formerly were
In force. There must be n general ad-
vance In freight rates II the roads ex.
pect to show a fair margin Of profit
During the last few years the price OF
nearly everything has advanced.
Equipment. rails. labor, are much high
er, but the freight rate situation has
remained about the same. Speaking In
a general way, II the rates on the Atch.
ison during the last year had kept pace
with the mileage increase and had
been proportional to the cost of equip.
ment and maintenance, the Atchison
would have shown more earnings by
several million dollars. The territory
along the Atchison in the west and
southwest was never in as prosperous
condition as II is today. and there is
no use OF freight being carried at a
rate that ia too low /, show a profit
In great many instances new lnsti.
buttons. new lines Of trade, have been
favored on the line OF not only the
Atchison, but OF all the big weste. n
roads, and II is high time that the rail
roads were at least getting their rights
IN the matter of rates.
There is great deal of corn to be
moved along the line of the Atchison,
but II will not be rushed to the market
owing TO the fact that Il is In good
condition and will find ready sale when
is NOT TRUE.
