New Mines Being Opened and One Old
One Resumes Operations.
ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo., Feb. 9.-(Spe-
ciaL)-The Superior Coal company is open
ing some new coal mines sixteen miles east
of this place Carpenters are building
houses, other workmen are drilling for
water and graders are constructing a
branch line connecting the mines with the
Union Pacific main line at Thayer station.
Tho mines will be equipped with modern
machinery and a large mining camp will
be established. Frank Manley, formerly
chief engineer for the Union Pacific Coal
company. will be the superintendent OF the
new camp.
HANNA, wyo, Feb. ESPECIAL. 1.-The
Union Pacific Coal company has opened old
No. mine, which has been closed for
many years, and ii is expected this colliery
will add materially TO the output Of coal
from this camp during the year. The mine
was closed down because the locomotives
using the coal set the prairies on fire. This
was in the days of the old diamond stack.
Since then experiments with stack screens
and the extension front end on locomotives
has shown that -coal from No. 8 can be
used with as much safety as that from
any other mine. The coal is a splendid
steamer and the railroad company will
welcome II back on the road. 1t is ex-
pected that before the close of the year
a force of not less than 200 men will be
employed In the reopened workings. Loco
motives are now burning the coal between
Laramie and Rawllns and the results are
being watched closely by officials of the
motive power department.

LEOPOLD CHARGED WITH GRAFT
King of BeIginns Accused of Absorb
ing $4,000, 900 in PROFITS on
Congo Rubber Trade.

LONDON Feb. lO.-The Standard this
morning draws attention to the alleged.
revelations contained in a book on the
Congo Free State, published at Paris and
Brussels by the Belgian, Prof. Gather,
indicating that during the past decade
King Leopold has drawn an amount esti-
mated at sl5,OOO.C00 from the rubber trade
in the Congo domaine De La Couronne),
there being no trace OF this in the pub
lished accounts of the Congo administra-
ton. The newspaper in an editorial saws:
II it can be verified that such an income
was drawn, while It has been represented
that doubtful expedients were employed IN
| the Congo in order to avoid the carrying
on of the business at a loss, the conscience
| of Europe will be stirred to its depths.
| BRUSSELS, Feb. s.-Prof Felician Cat
tier OF the Free University of Brussels
has published a pamphlet on the situation
| in the Congo Free State, which contains
several hitherto unpublished documents
showing that the crown domain, which
practically is King Leopolds personal,
property, consists OF .s75 square kilo me-
tiers. or an area two and a half times the
! size of England, bringing him profits on
India rubber alone of s15,if7Ooo during the
last ten years. Prof. Gather recalls the
fact that Premier De smet De Naer de-
clared in the Chamber of Deputies in 1903
that the profits OF the crown domain would
be exclusively applied to tho creation OF
establishments of material, moral and in
tellectual utility, whereas the Official docu-
ments adduced show that the profits have
been used for the acquisition OF real estate
! In Brussels and Ostend alone TO the value
| of sa655, 600, as well property In many
other towns in Belgium. The author fore
sees as a result OF all this that grave diff
! hculties will arise when the succession 10
the throne OF Belgium and the Congo Free
| State comes up.
The revelations of Prof. Gather have
caused great sensation. The socialist
| leader, Van Der Velde, will interpellate
/ the ministry in the Chamber Of Deputies
on Tuesday with reference to the matter,
