COAL LOADING CONTRACT
New Concern at ScOfield to Ship Six
Hundred Tons a Week
From Now On.
Especial to The Observation-Disclosures


SCOfield, Dec. 19.-The Utah Galleries
company has let a contract to P. c. Jen-
sen and Neil NJ. Madsen for the ship
ping and loading of about 600 tons of
coal a week.
Arrangements have already been made
for the building of a dump and loading
place at Scofield to load the coal, which
will be hauled by team to the tracks
during the winter, and as soon as spring
opens up the company will extend
track to the mine and cars will be de-
livered to the company by the railroad.
Mr.. Craig, Of the Utah Galleries COM
pany, spent two days in looking over
the conditions, and reports everything in
splendid condition ana says that since he
has employed Thomas Patterson, former
ly mine foreman at the Utah Fuel COM
panys mines at Clear Creek, to take
charge Of the mine, the work will pro-
gress rapidly.
The Union Pacific Coal company has
orders for more coal this month than it
can possibly fill and the company eX-
poets to get out $1,000 tons for the month
of December.

Insurgents Restless.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Nicaraguan
insurgents are growing tired of awaiting
attack, according to adViCes received here
tonight, and a decisive battle between the
government troops and the army under
General Estrada may be expected within
the next two or three days. In a cable
gram TO DR.. CastrillO, representative here
of the provisional government Of Mic
aragua, General Estrada says:
THE enemy has been on our front for
eight days. We are strongly entTenched
before Rama and are awaiting the first
opportunity to take the offensive in &C
cOrdance with certain plans
What the military plans are is not made
clear and agents of the Estrada party
do not know positively. They declare,
however, that Estrada undoubtedly has
been extending and peTfecting his system
of trenches until now he feels that he
has General Vasquez' army in a posi-
ton where he can venture an attack
with all hopes Of success.
Private dispatches from Bluefields re-
ceived by members Of the Estrada party
here declare that the resignation of Pres
ident Lelaya is the Veriest pretenSe. In
formation here says the entire proceedings
are a plot in which are involved DR..
Madriz, General Iris, and a representa-
tive Of Mexico at the Nicaraguan capi-
tai.
Vaccinations Of the conspirators, it is
declared, would place Zelaya in the back
ground under the stress Of present cir
cumstances. where he would be free to
dictate the government and direct actions
Of his puppets.
The Mexican referred to is also said
to be a partisan of Zelaya and to have
worked hand in glove with him in many
Of his official acts 1t is this close CO.
operation between the Mexican represen-
tatiVe and Zalaya that gives rise to
suspicion i'm Central American circles here
that Zelaya looks to Mexico as the agency
whereby he viii be enabled to leave the
country.
Tt was reported in naval circles that
marines now on board the Buffalo, who
were expected to arrive at CorintO this
afternoon, were to be disembarked imme-
diately and sent to Managua TO protect
the American legation there.
Officials of the navy department denied
that they knew of any such orders and
the state department maintained silence.

DR.. Madriz was met at Chinandega and
Leon by almost as great crowds as had
gathered at COTintO and they shouted
Long live the savior of Nicaragua"
There was, however, a remarkable alb

pie Of Leon were wild I'm their demonstra-

In a speech of welcome a LeOnese jour

friends at the station, said;
This is no time for a policy Of con-
Ciliation or pardon. It Is the time for
