to Sundays Salt Lake Tribune says:
David H. Moffat has sold the Denver,

rally known as the Moffat road. to the
Gould interests now controlling the Rio

There is every authority for this state
ment save an explicit admission from
Mr.. Moffat himself. Mr. Moffat will
receive the amount expended in build.
ing the road as far as constructed and a
6 per cent bonus on the same from the
time of the incorporationof the com.
pany. This will make the purchase
price about 100000.
The road will not be completed to
Salt Lake City. as projected. From
Hot Sulphur Springs branch line will
be built to Dotsero. ON the Rio Grande,
and the latter company will use the
Moffat road to that point as its main
line for through traffic.
1t is possible that the Union Pacific is
a party to the purchase of the road, and
will have branch south from its Wyo-
ming main line. 1t is said that all the
Gould interests in Colorado, including
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
will be placed under one management

Quarantine Against Cattle Fever

The Department of Agriculture on
Feb. established a Federal quarantine
against large part of the South and
parts of other States to prevent the
spread of splenetic or Southern fever
among cattle. The quarantine lines
are largely the same as last year. The
quarantine territory, includes most of
Texas, except the Panhandle, and the
lower part of California. The quaran-
tine is declared to be in force until Nov.
l. but this date is subject to change.
The regulations allow cattle in the quar-.
antined area to be shipped north in pla-
carded cars If shipped for slaughter and
placed IN quarantIned yards Oh arrival
at destination. If the stock is unloaded
en- route it must be at yards reserved
solely for Southern cattle and after un-
loading the cars must be disinfected be-
fore being used for native stock.

ORE TOO RICH FOR SHELTERS
Goldheld Miners Have to Dig for

Worthless Rock to Mix With Ore.
The following from the Tonopah Sun
suggests that il the miners Of that re-
gion. Goldfield and Bullfrog. are not
careful they may turn gold ores into
the smelters that will be 20 rich in the
precious metals that the furnaces viii
be unable to smelt it. A furnace
frozen" up with gold bullion would Be
novel sight. but apparently nothing
unusual in gold values can happen In
Goldfield:
1.-THE Original Bull Frog has large
quantity of ore on the dump. and viii
ship soon. The smelter reports will be
well up in three figures. In order to
keep the sacks from running too high,
and forcing the owners of the property
to put themselves at the mercy Of the
smelling companies to too great an ex-
tent. the company was forced to mix
fair proportion of low-grade ore with
the high rock"
This is reminiscent Of the fellow who
declared his prospect was no good, for
the reason that he would have to re-
move 100000 tons Of high-grade silver
ore before he could get to the gold. and
for that reason abandoned it.-Salt

A New Industry.

Henry Wood received from the East
this week an alfalfa thresher which he
will soon put to work threshing several
hundred tons of hay in his section Of
the valley. Raising alfalfa for seed is .
new thing in Mason Valley and only
few have experimental on this line. It
is thought that about $50 or 300 pounds
of seed can be secured from an acre Of
good alfalfa, and if this proves to be
the case it will become paying bust
ness, as alfalfa seed is worth from IA to
16 cents per pound. Lyon County
