AS the result of a new tariff issued
by the Union Pacific Railroad company,
a copy of which was received by Agent
l. w. Emmons this morning, the local
rate on Rock Springs coal vas ma,
~terially reduced today by local dealers.
The railroad company announces a re-
duction Of $1.5G per ton on coal of all
classes from Rock Springs to Laramie,
cutting the SO rate squarely in two, and
the local dealers are giving a part of
this reduction to consumers. The
price of Rock Springs lump, the best
coal that comes to this market, has
been $3.50 heretofore. Under the new
tariff the local dealers announce a
price of SIS per ton. The price of Rock
Springs nut coal, another popular form,
Sc, has been reduced to S., and it is
thought by some that this will suffer
a still further cut to conform to the
new tariff. No change was announced
in the tonnage from Hanna, and as it
now stands that coal is selling at the
same figures as the Rock Springs.
Railroad Is Boosting.
Agent Emmons was seer this morn.
ing by a representative of The Repub-
lican, and declared that the reduction
was voluntary on the part of the com
pany and a desire to foster the inter-
ests of the towns along the line of the
Wyoming division. A large amount of
coal is consumed in this state and the
railroad company has made large pro-
fits. The price at Ie mine, as at pres
ent outlined, will remain the same, the
reduction in freight rates being to the
great advantage of the consumers
here, many of the residents of the city
using the Rock Springs coal in its two
forms to the exclusion of the Hanna
product. The price being the same, It
is predicted that the sale of Hanna coal
will be supplanted largely by the Rock
Springs product, unless it, too, is re-
duced in price,.
Will Benefit the People.
Nothing that has occurred in Lara
mic for a long time is received with
greater favor than the reduction of the
price of coal. The opening of the
shops and rolling mills had a tire.
mendous effect upon the business of
the city, and these, followed by the
substantial cutting in the price of
fuel, will still further boost what we
believe to be one of the best towns in
the west and getting better every day.
There will be an incentive to manufac.
turing not felt before.

with the lines, and SO seized the whole
supply Of logs gotten out by Jackson
for his mine work.
Operations Suspended.
That tied up operations for the time,
as the logs were being used in building
a f1ume for one Of the leading power
bitches, and Jackson was unable to
proceed without the timber. He noti-
fed Judge Grant, the local representa-
tive of the Douglas Consolidated Plac-
er company, and he had a converse
ton by telephone with Supervisor Da-
Wis at Saratoga. with the result that
Davis came to this city and had maps
drawn showing the boundaries of the
Douglas company's claims and also the
Roper claim, with the contract for its
purchase and the papers showing title
in Roper.
Compromise Effected.
Mullison did not feel inclined to re-
lease the timber ever under these re-
ports and Judge Grant was sent for.
He had about $4,000 feet of the timber
released and the parties agreed to a
compromise on the basis Of the govern
ment's price for the remaining 10000
feet, the matter being left to the sec
rotary of the interior. Under the
rules governing the forest reserve, only
the secretary can settle such questions.
Jackson has deposited the agreed price
and Grant believes that when the Sec
rotary has been shown that every foot
of timber was cut upon the lands own
ed by the Douglas company, and that
none of it was taken from government
land, the money will be returned.
Jackson is proceeding with the use of
the timber, content to let the matter
rest as Grant was able to leave It be-
fore returning home.
Rich Placer Grounds.
The Douglas company has a large
amount of placer land in that field and
Jackson is now installing a plant to
handle the black sands. These sands
have been proven to be rich in gold.
1t has required the digging of several
miles of bitches to carry water for the
handling of the sand; and these bitches
are now being dug. A complete steam
plant has been taken in and the com.
pany hopes to begin early next spring
the washing of the sands and the say,
ing of the high values. Judge Grant
says that from the tests Of the sands
already made. the company should be
able, from its holdings in that placer
field, to take out from $4,000, 900 tc
$40, 900, 900 in ogld within the next
few years.

Bailey VIII Not Speak.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 10.-Sen-
ator Bailey has abandoned, at least for
the present, his intentions Of firing a
broadside at Bryan's advocacy of gov
eminent ownership Of railroads. Bailey
announced that he would give out a
statement, but changed his mind.
Want Bryan to Quit.
The hesitation is believed to be due
to the fact that he, as well as other
southern leaders of the party, have
been laboring privately with Bryan to
get him to sidetrack his views.

LOGS ARE
RELEASED
DISPUTE BETWEEN THE GOVERN
MENT AND PLACER CON-
PANY HAS BEEN SETTLED
Douglas Consolidated Placer Mining
Company Tied Up BY Seizure Of
Timber BY Agents of Medicine
Bow Forest Reserve-Operations
To Be Resumed Under Agreement.

Justice M. N. Grant of this city has
just returned from a visit to the Doug
las Consolidated Placer Mining COM
pany's mines on Douglas creek, where
he had been called to settle a dispute
between G. E. Jackson, the miner en-
ployed by the company in the placers,
and Agents Mullison and Smith of the
Medicine Bow forest reserve service,
owe some timber taken to build the
sluices and for other purposes by the
placer mining company.
Timber Was Seized.
The timber is in logs, amounts to
about $4,000 board feet, and was seiz-
ed by order of Supervisor L. G. Davis
of Saratoga, under the impression that
it had been cut from the government
land without authority. Justice Grant
was able to convince Messrs. Mullison
and Smith that at least t~hree-fourths
of the amount had been taken from
land belonging to the placer company
and believes that the secretary of the
interior will decide that the remaining
o%ne-fourth rightfully belongs to the
company and the agreed price to be
paid the government will be ordered
returned.
Cut On Roper Claim.
The timber in dispute, about 10000
board feet, was cut from the Roper
mining claim, which he has held since
1890. This claim the Carbon Timber
company sought to buy and failed, Rop
er declining to part with 1t. When Mr.
Jackson went into the field to develop
the claim Of the Douglas company he
found he should have to carry one o.
his power bitches through the Roper
claim, and SO bought 1t from Roper
