Union Pacific May Build Cutoff.

Cheyenne.-Union Pacific Surveyor
have been at work for some time run
ming a line from Borie on the mail
line west of here, to Carr, on the Den
yer Pacific, and it is said the company
has decided to build line over thai
route to take care of the Denver and
other southern trade toward the west
This would avoid entirely the trouble
some Athol hill, saving long pull VI
and a long brake down. For manl
years the Union Pacific has been look
ing for some way to avoid this loni
grade, and a short time ago it seriously
considered the advisability Of making
a cut through the hill, at the expense
Of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The new route will make differ
ence of nearly two hours in the tim'
from Denver west, and Denver-Port
land train would be put on to take cart
of the passenger traffic to the south
This would cut Cheyenne off the Den
yer west line, but the present road
would still be maintained for the Den
ver-Cheyenne traffic.
With the avoidance Of the LONG
Athol hill pull, much of the traffic
which has heretofore been going through
Omaha will pass over the Denver Pa
cific and on east through Kansas. Thii
would necessitate many additional
train and engine crews on the Denver
Borie line.

Gunnison County Progress.

There Is a decided improvement IL
mining throughout the county and this
season promises to be one of the best
experienced in the GunniSon country,
says the Gunnison correspondent OF
the Denver Republican. The success
of the 100-ton milling plant recently
erected by the Raymond Consolidated
Mines Company, near Ohio City, Is
great stimulant for the northern gold
belt. The tunnel in going 1000 feet
cut twelve distinct veins which assure
abundance of ore for the plant. There
is an aggregate of over twenty-five feet
of ore. The bulk Of this is good mill
ing product while there is some high
grade.
1t costs the company just G5 cents a
ton to treat its ore in its new mill by
amalgamation and concentration. This
is the best result ever accomplished by
a milling plant In this part of the
state. The mill was completed in De-
cember and commenced the treatment
of ore in January. For January the
production was 323 ounces OF gold and
seventy tons Of $40 concentrates; Feb.
ruary, 424 ounces gold, 1876 tons OF SAG
concentrates; March. 490 ounces gold,
1S5 tons Of $50 concentrates: April, 503
OuhCeo SOlu, SVV 'oho Va Wv SchNSh-
trates: May, 5S4 ounces gold and $50
tons OF $52 concentrates. At this rate
and with the continued increase
monthly the Raymond mine will soon
be an annual $1,000,000 producer.
Stimulated by such results as are ac-
companying the efforts of the Ray
mond company, property holders In the
gold belt are planning for a vigorous
campaign of development. The Gold
Links Mining Company, an enterprise
backed by A. L. Reynolds and other
capitalists, has resumed operations on
it's big tunnel mile above the Ray
mond and will push work. This tunnel
Is cutting the same vein and similar
success is assured. It will also cut the
Sacramento vein, which has produced
81 100000 In ore. Gold Link tunnel Is
in 100 feet.
The Ashland Mining Company is
driving a similar tunnel a mile below
the Raymond and Is opening practi-
cally the same territory. The Belzora-
Bassick Mining Company will also run
a long tunnel in the gold belt near the
Gold Links to open the same veins.
This enterprise is backed by Michigan
capital. The Cortland, Chloride, Grand
Prize and other properties of the same
district are being operated and are
producing ore. New mining plants and
new mills will be erected In this local.
ity this year.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Routt County's Coal.

Among the articles this year in the
forthcoming annual publication of the
United States Geological Survey
which is popularity known as 1.-The Ec-
onomic Bulletin" will be prelimin-
ary report on the Yampa coal field Of
Routt county, Colorado. This report
is particularly important since the field
is one OF the most prominent in Colo
rado, in respect to its areal extent, the
number and thickness of it's coal beds,
and the quality of its coal.
Although In general way the
Yampa coal field has been known for q.
great many years, it has been practi-
cally inaccessible, and consequently
very little has been done toward its
thorough exploitation or development.
1t is, however, the announced inten-
ton of the Denver, Northwestern &
Pacific railroad, generally known as
the Moffat road, to extend it's present
line from Middle park through Gore
canon, and thence across to the Yampa
valley. When this is done the Yampa
coal field will become one of the i'm
portant sources of coal supply of the
state.
The field, which covers practically
LOO square miles, centers about a
broad area Of rolling country in the vi
cinity of Hayden. 1t is bounded by a
sharply dissected rim of sandstone
ridges rising from 1900 to 1900 feet
above drainage level. Yampa river
cuts across the field in a westerly di
rection, and it is down this valley that
the surveys for the Moffat road have
been made.
The Goals of this field are for the
mcst part bituminous, although an
tl ra cite nf aYcallanf to
to occur within certain limited area
The field was carefully studied by
Messrs. n. NJ. Fenneman and Hoyt 8.
Gale, who, in the paper mentioned, de-
scribe numerous outcrops of the coal,
/ and the geologic structure or dips Of
the beds into the various basins. Many
samples were collected by them of rep
reSentative Goals in the field, and an
alyses were made under the direction
of Prof. N. w. Lord of Ohio State Uni
versity, at the laboratory of the Geo
logical Survey coal-testing plant, St.
Louis, Missouri.
Three groups of coal beds are de-
scribed, which in the field are known
as the upper, middle, and lower groups.
Each group of coal seams has verti-
cal thickness of from 200 to 400 feet,
and the several groups are separated
Dy oUO 10 l,OuO 1eet OF barren Shalo
and sandstone. The number and thick.
ness OF the coal beds constituting each
group vary from place to place, but u.s.
ually there are at least three seams OF
workable thickness and number Of
smaller beds in each group. The larg-
est bed of coal reported from the field
has a thickness of about twenty feet.
The anthracite field lies north Of
Yampa river. and the character of the
coal is due to igneous intrusions. At
the present time this part of the field
is attracting more attention than any
other, but the report shows that, al.
though containing some coal of
higher grade, 1t Is of a limited geo.
graphic extent. and probably will not
be SO valuable as many have supposed.

Pueblo Mineral Palace Suit.

Pueblo.-Land in Pueblo willed t.
Henry C. Brown by his wife and new
occupied by the Mineral palace and
park, is involved in the foreclosure
proceedings brought in the United
States Circuit Court by S. s. Kieter
singer of Iowa against the city of Pu
eblo. Arguments on the matter were
heard Wednesday before Judge Levitt
and taken under advisement.
The land was purchased by the city
of Pueblo from Brown through the
Probate Court in 1893. KietersingeI
claims that he had prior lien on the
land in the form of mortgage exc
cuted by Brown as security for prom
issory note. The loan has never been
repaid, he AYERS, and in default he
wants the court to sell the land.
Henry c. Brown and several Others
were named as defendants in the orig.
inal suit, but death has carried them
all away and only the city of Pueblo
remains to fight the claim. City Attor.
ney c. A. Highberger and his assistant,
John Martin, appeared for the munich.
pality in the case.

sat one young man. AS the leading

Steam Versus Wind.

+! The sail is not to be displaced on
sea nor the horse on land, no matter
what discoveries are made in swifter
locomotion. The New York World thus
discusses the arrival at New York OF
the new German sailboat, the largest
in the world: THE arrival in this port
of new five-masted German bark
from Bremen, which is called the big
gest sailing ship afioat, indicates that
Kaiser Wilhelms practical subjects
agree with the equally practical Maine
yankees that the sail is not played
out on the wide sea. The Maine yam
kee would rig his craft schooner fash
ion for greater ease of handling, dis
tribute his eighth of an acre of can
vas over seven or eight masts and en-
ploy one-third as many men, but that
is detail. The Rickmers is rated at
some 5000 tons, and as she has to
carry comparatively little coal for her
Kicker engine and winches, her net
cargo capacity exceeds that of all but
the very largest steamships. Unless
some one invents new and cheaper
fuel than coal such craft are likely to
grow more numerous. In safety the
steamship has no great advantage over
them"

We are told that NJ. H. De Young,
proprietor of the San Francisco Chron-
icle, was one of the heaviest losers in
the recent disaster-and perhaps the
most cheerful and optimistic. While
he was reviewing the scattered ashes
and damaged remains of his extensive
holdings a friend stepped up and said
compassionately: "Cheer up. 1t will
be all right" Mr.. De Young turned
quickly and replied: Il don't know
about that. Why L" There were
many who lost their fortunes" said
the friend, "but they will get them
back again" At this Mr.. De Young
became impatient. That's not what's
bothering me-" said he. What l

Miners Meet Death.

Denver.-A Central City dispatch
Thursday says: John Bray and
John Brewer lost their lives at
the Saratoga mine in Russell gulch
to-day from foul air. They had evi.

gases, given the signal to hoist and
grasped the bellrope to signal for
haste, but their strength failed and the
bell sounded but once, that being the
signal to stop. Obeyed by the engl.

The best news this section has ever
received, says Silverton correspond
ent, Is the determination of Otto Mears
to maintain open communication
throughout the seasons along his
roads, leading from Silverton to Red
Mountain on the Silverton railway and
to Animas Forks on the Silverton
Northern. This means that Red Noun
tain, with its great shipping properties
like the Joker, tennessee and others
of equal proportion, along with many
minor producers, will be able to ship
their ore and keep full forces ut work
from the beginning to the end Of the

Not the least touching thing in con-
nection with the San Francisco Ca
lamity is the character of many of the
contributors to the relief fund. Some
very large contributions have been
recorded, and some as small as FIVE
cents. AS one reads the lists in the
daily papers, he finds walters and bell
boys in the hotels, street car con-
ductors and motormen, Office boys,
shopgirls and many others whose
earnings are small and whose needs
usually are great. 1t is such givers
