IL is now almost certain that Colonel
H. l.. Anderson, at present assistant
superintendent of the Wyoming divis-
ion, will become superintendent March
!, and be succeeded in his present po-
sition by w. H. Peterson, of Cheyenne,
the division engineer. General Man

Park and Superintendent Whitney were
here yesterday, on their way east, and
while neither gentleman would come
out point blank and say that such
would be the case, enough was gather,
ed to make certain the announcement
to be made within the next day or two
The friends of Colonel Anderson today
showered him with congratulations.
Mr.. Anderson five years ago was
chief clerk in the office of Superintend

sition he had held for several years
becoming in that way thoroughly ia.
miliar with the division. Later he was
made trainmaster for the Cheyenne,

iron now in the yards and more is COM
ing every day, so that when the big
mill is started it will have material
enough to keep going on this immense
order. The little mill, meanwhile, will
be producing bridge and track bolt iron,
nut iron and other small stuff to go
with the angle bars.
The engine for the big mill is about
ready for service, Mr.. Sullivan assur
ing the mechanical engineer that it
would be ready by the time the rolls
are ready. 1t will be in charge of En-
gineer McRoberts, who was formerly
the engineer, and whose smiling face
was all the brighter when the officials
and visitors filed into the engine room
to see him give the great old machine
a little trial run this morning.
Plenty of Steam Henceforth.
1t is believed there will be no scar

time this morning the two boilers heat
ed ON the little mill furnaces were
furnishing steam for the little mill en-
gine, the fan engine in the big mil
engine room, the rail shears in the east
yard n the scrap shears, with pres
sure to the full power of the safety
valves. There was no scarcity OF
steam. This will leave the new tubular
boiler with nothing greater to do thar
to furnish steam for the big mill, and
it will easily do that, as it is one OF
the largest boilers in the state. The
Denver engine will be driven by steam
from the battery Of boilers in the north
end of the building. One of these is
running now and all three will be in
shape as Don as the finishing touches
can be put on them.
officers Well pleased.
The officers of the railroad company
directly concerned in the rolling mills
were greatly pleased at the success OF
the trial run this morning. Among
these were Messrs. Sullivan, Jacobus
and Fetters. Mr.. Sullivan has been
til eless in his efforts to get the mill in
shape, and the fruition of his labors
came to him and to his fellows as a
glad contamination. The mill is in bet
ter shape than ever before, even in its
earliest days, the engines being good
as new and much new machinery has
been added. The boilers are of the bet
ter class, some of the bolt and nut ma
chimes are entirely new in the west
and the small furnaces will be run with
crude oil under pressure, saving in fuel
and adding 10 the efficiency. The mer
who are in charge of the work directly
are as proud as the officials, not the
least of these being the Ryan brothers
one of whom is the boss roller, the 9th
err taking as much interest as would
the superintendent himself. Johr
Beacham is in charge of the little mil
engine, and his face was grimy anC
covered with smiles all the time.
