u. P. DISSOLUTION PLAN
Would Exchange S. P. Stock
with P. R. R. for B. & o.

IL was learned yesterday that one Of
the plans discussed by the director of the
Union Pacific Railroad in their Efforts
To- effect "A divorce from the Southern Pa
cifc satisfactory TO the government was
an exchange II part Of the Southern Pa
ciic stock held by the Union Pacific with
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
stock of the Baltimore IL Ohio one OF
the Hartman bankers said, however, that
no plan had yet been evolved, and the
prospects for one were not bright.
The Pennsylvania Railroad owns S42,
o0o.oro of the stock OF the Baltimore &
Ohio. consisting of half common and half
preferred. and should a trade be effected
with the Union Pacific on an equal basis
this would leave tS.6j0.Oco # the South
ern Pacific stock held by the former to
be disposed Of. II was thought that this
plan would meet the approval OF the At
torney General, in view OF the fact that
the Southern Pacific and the Pennsyl-
vania are non-competlng lines.
Directors Of the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific are TO meet to-day. and
IL Is expected that the regular dividends
will be declared. In view Of the uncer-
tainty regarding a dissolution plan being
announced before July !. Southern Pacific
stock sold yesterday at e3'E, the lowest
point IN the last five years.

SEEKING HIGHER RATES
Willard Says Eastern Roads
Will File Brief Monday.

Daniel Willard, president of the Balti-
more & Ohio, the chairman of the com
mittee representing the fifty-two East
ern railroads In their renewed attempt TO
obtain a ) per cent increase IN freight
rates, announced yesterday that In all
probability a brief will be filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission next
Monday, asking that the Eastern advance
rate case be reopened. 1t Is expected
the committees request will be granted
and that the commission will name date
when the railroads and the shippers can
be heard. In discussing the outlook for
the railroads Mr.. Willard said:
The Baltimore & Ohio, the Pennsyl-
vania the New York Central, and many
other Eastern roads are all in the same
class regarding the need for higher rates.
Taking the case of the Baltimore < Ohio
as an example, within the last three
years we have spent 900 for i'm
proyements not out Of surplus earnings.
but by selling securities and increasing
annual fixed charges 100000. I'm 1907,
or the year before that work began, we
had surplus after dividends were paid
Of 81, 10000. This year, after having spent
SOV,v-V,vb ii. lJlO, 1911 ana III 10 lllclcdSt
our earning power, we will have only
sl,5O 600 over our dividend Part OF that
shrinkage is accounted for by the 5000
GO increase in fixed charges; the wage in
crease of 1910 will account for S2.500OoO;
the awards to the engineers and firemen
explain another 100000; our tax is up
$4,000 That is 100000 added TO our oper-
ating cost.
Fortunately. part Of that increase in
expenses has been made up by larger
earnings. We can go on paying 8 per
cent dividends on the present basis OF
rates, but. if we do. either maintenance
or our Improvements will suffer. AS for
the Baltimore & Ohio, we have learned
from the expenditure Of that S6O,0Oo,O0
that the thing for us to do is TO sill
tight and spend no more money under eh-
listing conditions That is what we pro-
pose to do. and. from what ] hear, tho
Pennsylvania, the New York Central,
and other companies are through neces-
sity taking the same stand"

Twenty Million 9 Year

"Four properties within a radius of three miles. with Juneau as the center, will be producing within four years, when Che development now on is com pleted. a total of S2O,OOO,O00 a year. This is more gold than is now produced annually in Alaska, and approximately as much as the production of the great gold states of California and Colorado.
 Such is the statement oI Philip C.. stoess, mining engineer of 810 Eleventh avenue, who returned yesterday from a business trip to the Southeastern Alas ka metropolis, says the Seattle P. l.
 "The significance of these figures is further indicated when it is known that the production of the Treadwell mine is now less than S3OOOOOO year. The Treadwell is one of the four prop critics which are making Juneau the center of the greatest mining activity on the American continent. It's pro. duction is about 100000 tons of ore running something less than S250 a ton. This is to be considerably in. creased.
 "The Alaska Gastiueau and the Alas ka-Juneau properties will develop capacity of not less than coco tons a day, and the Ebner property, which has been tied up by litigation for a long time, will be put on a heavy producing basis by the United States Smelling and Refining Company.
 "All this production is in an area of not more than ten square miles. With many properties producing and devel opment on each side of Juneau for a distance of one hundred miles, it is reasonable to suppose that there will be other properties that will compare in wealth with the large ones mention ed. Outside capital is being attracted to the Juneau country by the remark able record of the properties already developed"
 With all this development, however, Mr. Stoess says there are many idle men around Juneau during the winter. This condition will be removed with opening of spring.
 Juneau right now has the reputation of being the liveliest town in Alaska, Mir. Stoess says. One thing that sur- prised him was the number of auto mobiles in use in that town of not more than 5000 inhabitants.
