When the sudden cutting down OF the
daily mail service to three times a week
became generally known among the
people Of this community. to say they
were amazed is putting it lightly, but
as soon as they recovered from the first
shock and ascertained the causes which
brought about the change they became
more reconciled and began discussing
the ways and means of ~re-establishing a
blackboard service to operate in con-
junction aud alternate with the rail-
way, thus providing a six-day mail SER
vice between Eureka and Palisade.
Superintendent Abboff's Statement
Supt. G, ID. Abbott of the E. & p.
was in Eureka last Monday and stated
to the SENTINEL that as soon as the
Richmond. Eureka Company resumed
| operations at it's mines the railway com.
pany would also resume its daily mail
and passenger service. As none of the
mining companies of this district were
now making ore shipments his company
| decided as a case of necessity to reduce
the train service to three times a week.
He also stated that 1t was hoped that
the United States Smelling Company
4 Utah would have matters arranged
in such a way by Saturday of last
week as would enable the company to
resume smelling. and for that reason he
withheld the issuance Of the new
schedule until the last moment, or in
other words until the time set by the
railway company for announcing the
change had nearly expired.
Improved Outlook for Sreifers
That tn, American Smelling & Rein
ing Company that is in litigation with
the farmers ON account of the poisonou;
fumes from their smelling works al

alton of its plant was finally settled
Jan. Is when a copy of the stipulation
for q modification of the smoke nui
sance decree was filed in the Fedora
Court of the last named city. This &C
ton paves the way for a renewal o.
shipments by mines that have been re
quested to cease production whenevel
the metal markets justify it and, on it
face. makes it look certain that tn
United States Mining and Smelling
Company will also get a chance to oper
ate its lead smelling works if it cares to
The American company has spen
probably $3.50, 900 in building a monste
bag house and providing other device
to prevent the escape Of sulphur, ar
senic and other deleterious matter int,
the outer air from its works. and thes'
are now so nearly perfect that it is be
lieved the company a show the mos
exacting experts that the operation o
the plant can do no possible damag
under the restrictions agreed to. Thi
agreement means that more than 100
men will retain employment at tn
compauy's works. and the general be
lief is that, while the United State
works may close down, it will not b
for long. This belief is based on tn
knowledge that the United States Com
pany has gone just as far in the matte
Of providing means Of capturing the oh
~jectionable contents Of the smoke am
fumes that result from smelling as ha
the American Company.
Blackboard Service In Abeyance
In conclusion, the people Of Eurek
will await the outcome Of the pendin
negotiations of the United States Com
pany regarding the continuing Of smeli
ing at its Utah plant. npon the success
of which depends the resumption o
work in the Ruby Hill and other mine
of the district, before p%etitioning tn
