Salt Lake City. March l6.-The first
train to arrive over the Salt Lake
Route since the Limited came into
Salt Lake on Tuesday at 5:35 p. m. is
expected to arrive about o'clock this
morning. This win be No. g. the Los
Angeles Express, which left Los An
geles on Monday. The Express has
been held up at Caliente, the washout
east of that point being the cause of
the delay.
Just at what time the limited will
arrive from the west Is not known. as
1t Is caught behind another washout.
Two Nos. z. westbound, held at AGO
ma, were consolidated and one went
west and the empty coaches are be
ing returned to this city, as equipment
Is urgently needed.
The Los Angeles Limited, west.
bound, left this city at 4:45, the regu
lar time. yesterday afternoon. to make
the journey to the City of Angels via
the Southern Pacific. No. i, the Los
Angeles Express, left here at 1901
this morning for the west, via the reg
ular route. as 1t is expected that by
the time 1t reaches the point of trou.
BILE the iifficulty will be overcome.
Altogether there are four washouts
on the road, one east of Caliente and
three west of that point. This ties VI
the track for distance Of nearly sixty
miles. OF course, the washouts do not
extend for that distance. but they oc
cur at intervals, thus disorganizine
the track for that distance. This
stretch of country makes the trans
ferring of passengers virtually impos.
sible. SO that passengers have to wait
with patience until the track Is
cleared. Fortunately, dining cars are
attached to most of the trains, and
supplies are being forwarded from
Caiieute. so that none are suffering
from the lack of food

BUY FURNACE CREEK STOCK
More Than t2s.ooo shares Subscribed
for IN Three q+ours-eutts Men
Pay Decided Tribute TO Judgment
and Ability Of Patrick Clark, Of
Spokane.

All records for stock subscription in
this city we're broken yesterday when
12s. 900 shares OF Furnace Creek stock
were taken over by citizens OF Butte.
The properties are controlled by Pat
rick Clark, one of the best known min
ing men of the northwest. and It was
largely on the strength of Mr.. Clark's
reputation as successful operator
that the Furnace Creek stock was dis
posed Of here so rapidly
Shortly after 8 O'Clock yesterday
morning 125.000 shares of stock were
placed on sale at the once OF siemons
& Booth. Before noon the block had
been sold and there were many men
clamoring for stock, even after the
Butte allotment had been over sub
scribed. In order to distribute the
stock as evenly as possible. many
private alIotments were cut in two, but
even In this manner the subscribers
could not all be accommodated.
The properties of the Furnace Creek
Mining company are located in Death
valley, California. in what is known as
the Funeral range. Specimens Of the
ore were on exhibition yesterday in

quality OF the rock ELECTED couptless
expressions of surprise from mining
men of this city Only little devel-
opment work has been done on the
properties as yet, but II Is stated that
railroad connections will be completed
by May. after which time extensive
exploration work will be begun. The
Furnace Creek properties lie in one of
the most promising mineral belts OF
the southwest. The country is almost
entirely unexplored as yet because OF
the dearth OF railroad facilities. 1t
was not until Senator w. A. Clark con-
structed the San Pedro railroad from
Salt Lake to Los Angeles that mining
men began to pay attention to the
wonderful mineral deposits in the des-
ert region
While the Furnace Creek stock was
being disposed of, many local men took
advantage of the opportunity to place
orders for stock In the Bullwhacker
company, also controlled by Patrick
Clark. and whose claims are located
east of this city near the Pittsburg &
Montana group. More than 10000
shares of Bullwhacker stock were
subscribed for. although the price has
not yet been determined upon

investors subscribed for stock In the

~shaulds-ynte wa plain Violation OF
the spirit and intent Of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, that each
senator was entitled to one vote and
any attempt to coerce him was an In
vasion OF the rights OF a state: that
any senator who permits himself TO be
so coerced weakens and degrades his
state; that for any senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense Of duty die
tates degrades his high office and as
sails the dignity and standing Of the
senate
The resolution was listened TO with

claring that treaty like the Domini-

lips of the Colorado senator, who clain-
ed the privilege Of presenting the mat
ter Mr.. Lodge conceded the superior
lily Of Mr.. Patterson's claim.
Mr.. Tillman objected to the pres
ent consideration of the Patterson

personal privilege. Mr.. Patterson said
II was not and gave notice that he

Wagon With Life Extinct.

Thomas F. Turner. colored man,
who has kept an express wagon stand
in Salt Lake for many years at the
corner Of Third South and State streets,
died suddenly Sunday afternoon. while
seated ON his wagon, Heart failure is
ascribed as the cause Of death. as
there was nothing TO indicate any suf-
ferlng or foul play. The body was
found by Mr. Turner's wife In the rear
OF the family home at 2270 south Fifth
East street, just outside of the city
limits. The horse was still hitched 10
the outfit, but the driver was lying face
downward In the rig, and life was ex-
tinct. Whether he was suddenly strick-
en- by heart failure after driving into
the barnyard. and as he was about to
dismount, or whether the horse made
its way to the barn after he had been
attacked Is not known.

the body removed to the undertaking

ing held pending the making of funeral
arrangements. An Investigation was
made this morning, and while no for

ONE REASON FOR HIS FAILURE
Men and Women With Him Did Not

Chicago, Feb. 5.--Folowers of John
Alexander Dowie were amazed yester-
day to hear from the platform of Shil-

admission that the work OF their leader

declared that his conception OF DR..
