WANTS $4,000
Stockholders Asked to Pay l0c
a Share on Holdings.
CONCERATO MAKE NEW START
NEW YORK CROWD AFTER UTAH
COAL LANDS.

According 90 the action taken yes
terday and Official utterances on The
subject. there is no longer any doubt
that the California company intends
Co clear itself of Indebtedness and go
on with the development OF IT'S prop
erty. To get things started of right,
the directors met and levied an assess
ment Of zoe a share. or $4,000. on the
capital stock of the corporation. AS
the report submitted TO the sharehold-
ers during the fore part of January
showed that the company's total in
debtedness had then been cut down TO
less than $4,000. The sum now called
Tor should clear the slate and leave a
snug surplus in the treasury.
After the meeting yesterday &C. was
stated that the first money derived
from the assessment would be applied
10 the cancellation of the mortgage held
on the property by Messrs. Rice, Far
rel and others. That out of the way
other outstanding accounts viii be met
and sixty days hence the company Will
De free 10 operate as it sees hg with no
membranes hanging over it,. It was
also stated that no attempt wiz be
made 20 operate the mill again Tor some
time. The sinking of the shaft vii. be
continued and a little later other lines

times as much as Is tile stock i'm the

Gus on that account, but we are deter

pany or more properly speaking, per-

which have been issued fan 10 confirm
the hopes that the rise in freight rates
IN January would effectually relieve
the encroachments on net earnings by
reason Of the larger operating ex-
penses which were evident in recent
months. There has been discussion in
wall street Of the supreme court de-
clsion In the lottery case and the broad
er scope Of the power of congress over
objects Of Interstate commerce implied
BY that decision has become an ele-
meat in the influence or the antitrust
agitation upon Industrial securities.
The movement Of prices In the bond
market has been more irregular than
OF stocks, but the activity IN that de-
partment compared with last year is
relatively much less than that in
stocks.

Kimberley and Bull Out Of Way,
Others Appearing in the Field.


Especial to The Herald.J
Price. Feb. 2S.-Whue Messrs. kim
berley and Bull. the sharon. Pa. CAPT.
lalists. have evidently fallen down on
their deal for the iron lands Of Iron
county and also the coal deal ia Hunt
lngton canyon, which was a part OF the
proposition. this termination Of matters
has not discouraged in the least the
owners OF the coal lands In eastern
Utah, for there is said TO be another
syndicate after them which has head
quarters In New York City.
William Howard of Huntington.
one of the principal owners of the
coal lands in question, was here
yesterday on his way to SAILS Lake
city. where IL is believed he goes to
meet and confer with a representative
of the parties interested though when
approached on the subject he declined
20 discuss the affair i'm a newspaper
sense. There are some 10000 acres Of
the lands ina question and veins Of Il
coking coal of the finest quality from
four to twelve feet in thickness and
which are surrounded by plenty Of
water for all mining camp purposes.
Notwithstanding reports and assertions
10 the contrary.
ANHLo bA O. car 4ocAA Oh the NNdl al Ter IL
was crushed and shipped back to Penn
sylVania were of the most satisfactory
nature, and the reason for the failure
of the Kimberley and Bull people TO
take up their option after a comforta-
bic payment had been made, Is an
swered by the statement as a belief of
those giving IT, that the Pennsylva-
mans let go of the deal in cOnsidera-
zion Of certain payments and promises
and half-expressed threats of the Coll
orado Fuel a. Iron company. which has
an already strong foOthOld on the iron
deposits of southern Utah.
Letters received here from Denver
would indicate that the Colorado Fuel
& Iron company still has designs on
the coal measures Of eastern Utah. es-
pecially Emery and Carbon counties.
lt is said MT HILL their chief expert
on coal, is TO make a trip through
Emery county during the early sRrirg
and may incidentally" examine some
of the propositions 20 which his at
tention has i'm the past been directed.
Mr.. Hill was here a little over a year
ago-on fishing trip-though there
isn't as much as a minnow in all the
country traversed by him.
The Gibson Miner syndicate. with
fourteen to twenty sections of as fine
coal land as lays out Of doors, are
working away I'm the development Of
their claims. which lie on an average
Of eight 10 ten miles north of Price,
and they viii be in good shape for the
buyer when the latter puts In an APP
pearance for the goods. They have a

know exactly what they've got in each.

pose of closing boxes and side rooms in

There is a possibility That the Everett

TELL A TALE or SLAVERY
Man Kept by Force i'm the Mines
Virginia.

New York, Jan. l2.-Ten Slavs, rag
ged and half starved, have arrived here
from Toms Creek, Va, whittier they
went six weeks ago with thirty-two
others on the promise of steady work in
a coal mine at ~ so day.
They tell story of oppression that
has caused the Austrian Ambassador at
Washington to start an investigation
with the object of freeing the men still
in the mine and of obtaining redress for
their wrongs.
After having been hired, the men
were taken to the little town of Georgel
on the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad,
whence they drove twenty miles across
country. The next morning each man
received several sticks of dynamite and
some petroleum. "1hese are your
TOOLS" they were told. "They will cost
you $40 and we will take it out IN in
stallments from your pay" The men
worked eleven hours the first day. At
night they received so cents each in
stead OF $3.50, and they protested, but
they were told to be careful of their
money, as they would be expected to
pay part of the cost of their materials
out Of it at the end of the week.
This condition of affairs continued
for three weeks. Then forty-two men
escaped. All but ten were recaptured
and taken back to the mine.
