May oats opened unchanged to

RIO GRANDE NOW
COMES TO RESCUE
General Supt. A. {. WeIby Here
Today Looking After the
Movement Of Fuel.
10000 TONS or COAL COMING.
All Freight Hauling Dropped and 200
Carloads of Back Diamonds
Arrive Tonight

BY tonight there Will be 10000 tons OF
coal and coke IN Salt Lake valley en-
route TO Salt Lake, Ogden and the
smelters
Such was the information given out
by General Supt. A. T.. Welby OF the
Denver d Rio Grande on his arrival
from Denver this morning. Mr.. Welby
VIII make salt Lake his headquarters
for the next few days when he will
personally overlook the coal movement.
To-day the Rio Grande Is concentrate
ing its energies on moving coal" said
MIR. Welby this morning, everything,
Including through freight, Is making
way for the coal trains ana by tonight
there should be 200 carloads OF coal In
this valley Everything that can be
done Will be done to relieve the sltua-
ton"
Mr.. Welby went ON to state that ey-
erything had been dropped and coal
was the slogan all along the line. AZ
various points locomotives are picking
up the sidetracked cars which were cut
out OF the through freight cars and all
coal is being cleaned up.
see, SAID Mr., WelDy, that the
interstate commerce commission IL get
ting after the railroad officials OF Da-
kota. and contingent states on the coal
question. believe that everything pos
sible Is being done TO relieve the sltua-
ton. After all that Is said about rail-
road people they are human beings and
as such do not like TO see distress any
more than any one else"
When asked what was causing the
prevailing coal famine Mr. Welby stat
ed that he believed more coal was be-
Ing mined this year than last. He af.
flrmed that more industries were In OPP
Grafton this year in the west and Utah
In particular than ever before. The
country too, he said. was growing In
population. The increased demand for
coal also caused bigger consumption
OF fuel by the railroads which, also,
were handicapped for coal along with
the rest.
When asked regarding his rumored
resignation Mr.. Welby laughed and
said that the publication of stories
which have been printed In Denver and
Salt Lake were not good policy and
did not help out In these days OF siren
uousity II am still working for the
Denver & Rio Grande," he said.

OF business was only moderate.
Furious buying OF ST. Paul, which
elevated 1t points, apparently aroused
msglYings among the traders as 10

wholesale selling OF other stocks, prin-
cipally Union Pacific, Reading and the

little spirit TO the buying and the re-

New York, Dec. lie. II. Garth
waite, a British mining engineer who
for the last eight years has been at
tending to the Rhodes mining interests
in central South Africa, arrived here
yesterday. He will start for California
today, where he win take months
rest
Mr., Garthwaite has come directly
from the neighbo rhood of Victoria Falls
on the Zambesi river and spoke enthus-
iastically yesterday OF the project OF
Harvesting the falls for power. He
said:
The Victoria falls are the largest in
the world and when the work OF utiliz-
ing them for electrical power is COM
peted | am confident that 1t will revo-
lutionize the diamond industry In South
Africa. | mean BY this that the trans
mission of power from the falls to the
mines Will reduce the actual working
cost about 80 per cent. The great
lords OF coolies now at work can be In
measure dispensed with"
Mr.. Garthwaite said that South Afrl-
ca had picked UP considerably since the
war
ut Is a great country" he said, but
II is harrassed by the British govern
ment much in the way this country was
10 years ago, and there is great danger
OF similar results"
Mr.. Garthwaite said the repots
heralding the cotton Of Rhodesia as a
rival TO American cotton was absurd.
The African cotton, he said, was ex-
ceedlngly coarse and could not at any
time compare with the cotton of the
United States

camp.
Several of the mines I'm the camp
are showing sfnsutionnlly gich ore.
while others have tremendous bodies
of low grade ore which insures the
permanency OF the district"
In speaking Of the recent Goldheld
Consolidation, Mr.. Gordon Is OF the
opinion that It will not be n good thing
for the camp. The consolidation takes
In all the best mines IN the district
and the result will be that brokers and
small investors will look to other camps
for stocks TO trade in People who can
afford It will buy Goldfeld CONSOLIDATE
ed and hold It as an investment, but
there will be little buying and selling.
Mr. Gordon has great faith In the fu-
ture Of Salt Lake. He invested In sew
sral pieces OF Salt Lake real estate here
last full, some OF which is within
block OF the recent Newhouse purchases.
Although he has been offered twice as
much as he paid for that near the
Newhouso territory he Is still unwilling
to SELL believing II to be a good thing
10 hold on to.
As further evidence OF his faith in
Salt Lake, Mr.. Gordon today purchased
the seat Of w. II. Farnsworth on the
Salt Lake Stock & Mining exchange.
