WHEAT TRADE
IS THREATENED
Loss of Wharves Causes
Congestion in the
Traffic.

H c. Somers. senior partner OF So
ners & Co. the large grain merchants
of this city, made the startling asser-
ton yesterday that it is devoid of any
means of handling the wheat crop. The
grain traffic has been for many years
centered at sections / and of the sea
wall These wharves with the sheds
were completely wiped out by the con-
fiagration.
At present the grain merchants are
Obliged to take what ever wharfage
they can obtain This causes the mer-
chants much anxiety, as the chance OF
obtaining requisite room TO load and
unload vessels is on an uncertain basis
Also the grain is not allowed 10 remain
upon the wharves for any length OF
time, but must be transferred immedi-
ately to warehouse or ship. The
amount of grain passing through the
city is comparatively small. as the new
crop is in the hands of the harvester or
still uncut.
The grain merchants hope the Harbor
Commissioners will see the grave dan
ger that threatens the State in case
the grain traffic is retarded and pro-
vide them with wharyes
The whaTves used by the grain trad
ers in sections and 2 had a frontage
on the bay of about 1000 feet. All of
this was burned, along with some s3o,-
00e worth OF grain which was waiting
transportation.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC LAND PATENT
First Government Grant Since
1873 That Does Not Ex-
clude the Mineral Lands

A Reno dispatch of Dec. 2S says: The
Southern Pacific Railroad yesterday
filed land patent covering 5000 acres
of mineral land in Washoe County.
This is the first grant made by the Gov
ernmeut since 1878 that has not ex-
cluded the railroad from mineral lands
Strong indignation is expressed by
prospectors who are all shut out OF
these lands now, and there will be no
more individual development of this
section OH account of the monopoly
possessed by the railroad.
Four claims have recently been filed
on this land in Peavine mining district
and notices of location filed. AS the
patent filed yesterday by the railroad
is dated Nov. 23, it is doubtful if the
locations are valid. Complications and
suits are prophesied.

SCHWAB JOINS SMELTER TRUST
Sells Smelling Plant Recently
Purchased and Contracts for
Output of His Mines.

The fight between Charles Nj.
Schwab, the steel magnate, aud the
Smelter Trust has ended, and the latter
will hereafter handle the output of the
Schwab mining properties at Tonopah.
A short time ago the steel man pur-
chased small smelling plant near San
Francisco and it vas thought he in
tended handling the ores from his
mines himself instead of giving them
10 the American Smelling and Refining
Company. The news is now made
public that he has sold his smelter to
the American Company aud made con-
tracts with that Company to handle all
the output of his mines.
The mine owners and leasers of the
Tonopah. Goldfield and Bullfrog dis
tricts have figured that the enmity Of
Schwab toward the Trust would result
greatly in their favor, but the new deal
puts an end to all hopes entertained fol
good rates on their ores, which would
have resulted if the competition be.
tween Schwab and the American Com
pauy was maintained.
