THE OMAHA DAI REACHING 0UT FOR BUSINESS. Whe Year's Reoord of Railroad Extousion in the Wo't, NEW ADDITIONS TO THE TRADE WORLD. Echoss of Progressive Development in Mountains and Valleys— summary of Northe west News, The New York Engineoring Nows of a lato aate published a detaited roview, accom- panica by a map, showing the progross of railroad building in far western states, com- pared with tho record for 15%, The mileago of completed road by states is as follows: pAbesc it ol X | TRACK EATD. | inte 1590, | In 1501 Syoming iontann..

In this territory there are 1,100 miles of road in process of coustruction, 415! veyed and located and 6,050 miles d nated “projects of some promise.” An examination of the map and figures in Cetail show that the work of new cons| tion is confined larzely to the states of Mon- tana, Washington, California and Colorado, and is being done by a few large comvanies. The ceuters of greatest activity are practic- nlly the same as thoy were one year ago, The same may be said of the character of the work; now, as then, it is in a large degree competitive. This 1s especially no- ticeablo fn the states of Montana, [daho and Washington, where the Northern Pacific and Great Northern companies are fighting for tho supremacy in the mineral fields of Montana and Idaho and the rich agricultural and timber lands tributary to the Puget Sound. Under the heading, *Projects of Some Promisns,” the map gives a glimpse of what railroads tributary to Omaba have in view. The Rurlington ‘extension to Montana is under contract of construction fora con erable distance northwest of Fort Mck ney. From that point dotted I will cross the Northern Pacific_at Billings, Mont., thenco to Helena, The Northwestern has two lines projected from the vicinity of Casper, Wyo., one to Custer, Mont., and another to Cooke City, at the northeast cor- ner of the National park. A line is pro- jected by the Union Pacific from Eagle Rock 0 the park, and another from Butte to tho same destination nom- n- es show it The Great Anaconda. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaconda company was held in Butte on Decomber The chief feature of the meet- fng was a decision increasing the capital stock of the company from $12,500,000 to $25, 000,000. The proceeds of this stock is to bo used in paying off a mortgage for 7,500,000 held by the Mercantilo Trust company of New York, aud to purchase the following property: That in Silver Bow couuty lately owned by the Camp Creek Mining and Re- duction company; that in Doer Lodge county lately owned by the Standard Fire-brick company; also, that in finncnndn lately owned by the Montana otel association and the Anaconda Water compauy, which were conveyod by deed on November 30 to James B. {aggin; also property in Deer Lodge and Silver Bow counties, conveyed by Marcus Daly and wife to James B. Haggin on November 30; also proverty in Silver Bow county, conveyed by “rancis E. Sargeart to J. B. Haggin Novem- beri#0: also property in Gallatin county, conveyed by Johu R, Toole and wife to James B. Haggin October 6; also prop- erty in Park county, conveyed by Jolin R. Toole ana wife to J. B. Haggin November 30, and to purchase such other proverty us they deem necessary for the busi- ness of the company, aud for payment of e to issue such amount of boads as they think necessary, all such stock to be issued as full stock, 10l paid and non -assessable, liable to no further calls. A sworn cortificatd was filed with the county recorder that the whole amount of capitul stock of the com- pany has been paid in, namely, 400,005 shares, by the purchase and conveyauce to this company of the property owned by it, aud five shares paid in cash at par, and that the whole amount of the debts and liabilitics of the company is $5,600,000, consisting of bonds outstandiig to the amount of £,000,- 000, and other indebtedness amoanting to $600,000. Don't Waste Tears. A fow newspapers in the mining sections of the west are dispensing sympathy that is wholly unnecessary. They bave been bun- coed again by the Mulhattons of Denver with weird, ghostly tales about the possiole removal of the Omaha rofining works to the mountains. It is a melancholy fact that Denver has been engaged in removing the Union Pacific headquarters for lo these manv yeurs, with tho result ot enlurging ana con- centrating the company’s affairs in this city. The fuct that the Denver end of the smeit- ing company rocently pnrchased a few lots freshened the energies of the local Mulnattons, and with their florid imagina- tion they saw the Omaha plant on wheels, headed “westward, Inside advices give an entirely different vorsion of the meaning of the lot purchase. The fact is well known that the swoko of the Denver works has a deloterious effect on the feeble health of the residents. The asthmaties and consumptives abiding there can havdly breathe the arsen- erated air, and in consequence the town, to prolong life, is obliged to strike at the root of the cemetery promoter. The fame of the town as ‘& sanitarium is not to bo ruthlessly destroved by fuming smolters, So strong and irresistibly is the demand for reliof that tho managers of the works, it is said, are now quietly pre- paring to move, Out of rospect for old asso- ciations they hope, liko the Arabs, *to fold their teats in the night and silently steal away.” To uccomplish this adaitional ground was bought, so that the dismantling of the works might go on without crowding and wiih the least possible noise. The fact thau the Omaba works are to be ealarged immedi- ately and a copper refining and possibly tin reduction plants added, teuds to throw light on the movement in Denver. Let’em come. Omahs 15 ready to accommodate 'em and guarantee immunity from the croaks and coughs of living graveyards. Anothe elting Process. ‘The managers of tho Soutbern Cross Min- ing company of Butte are engaged in testing a new process of saving the gold from the oro of the mine. The process belng tried is the iuvention of four Butte men, the Hand brothers and Messrs, Merrill and Edwards. Eleotricity 1s the principal agency employed, #0d tests 5o far made are said to have been emuently satusfactorys The gold contained in the ore is first dissolved, and then by means of eloctricity precipitated into & pan containing ~ guicksilver, after which the ordinary treatment of amalgam is resorted to. To thoroughly test the new pro- cess, & 10-stamp mill is vow being equipped with the necessary machiuery and apparatus and wiil bo fn readiness to start up in ubout three weeks. Tho cost of treatmeut by the new electric-amalgamatiog process is said to be very moderate, and if the experiment about 1o bo mado on a large scalo turns out as suc- cessfully as anticipated the company will be enabled to treat its ore close to the mino, and the cost of shipping, aconsiderable item of expense, will be done away with and tho profits of the company inereased proportion- ately. Bad for the Forests. . The secretary of the interior calls atton- tion to a mischievous provision of the land ‘law passod by the lasu congross that threatens the safety of o large part of the publio timoer of tho wess. The act provided that in tho states of Colorado, Montana, 1daho, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, tho Distriot of Alaska, the gold and silyer regions of Nevada and Utah no prosecution could be had for timber cut “for agricultural, wining, wanufacturing or dowestio pur- poses.’” The only restriction made is that terior must b obtained and the cutting done under such rules and regulations as he may preseribe. The purpose of this clause may not have been to encourage timber stealing, but it conld not have been much better drawn to that end if such had been tho design. There 18 no purpose for which timboer tould be cut that 18 not covered by the words ‘‘agricul- tural, mining, manufacturing or domestic.” Whatever the intent of tne law, the effect rust ba the destruction of bec in the states and territories covered by it. Vast areas havealroady been steipped and the work of destruction is carried on iu all sections by mercenary contractors who mar- ket the product. Sections that a few vears ago wore covered witn timber and watered with beautiful streams are now dry and rocky wastes in which nothing remains but the blackened stumps of tho trees. They have been cut for lumber, the refuse burned over and the unrestrained torrents from the winter rains have washed the soil from the hillsides down to the plains or to the sea, leaving no chance for the renewal of the forest covering. A ltun on Bers, While John Chapman was 1n Billings Mont., from his Wyoming ranch he told of a thrilling oxperienco his wife had receatly with four silver-tip bears, a she bear and throo cubs. Joun was away from home at the time, After cating an_early supper Mrs. Chap. man stepped outside of the kitchen door, in- tending to place a can of milk in an outhouse. She had just closeq the door of the kitchen, when looking up she was confrontea by four bears, all up on their haunches and within a fow feet of her. She screamed and rushea into the house and told the hired man the cause of her fright and assisted in find- ing cartridges for & rifle that stood haudy, and ‘then sunk into a chair ex- hausted ana helpless, while the hired man made an_attack on the bears, killing tho old oue and two of the cubs. When Mr. Chap- wan arvived he found his wife in an alarm- ing condition, her nerves being at such a tension that he feared she would o into hysteries. I hat night she compluined of tho bear scroaming outside, and finally, tosatisfy her, John got up, and taking his gun went to tho door, where, sure enough, was the ro- maining vear standing out in tho cold and whining and screaming for his dam. Tho cub Iit out for the brush whon he heard John coming, but m the morning the dogs wero turned loose on the trail and young bruin was gathered in to complete the family The cubs were fully half grown silver-tips and averagod over 180 pounds each. Tne sho bear wus a big one, as 1arge-as a cow. A Neglected Life. Tho arrest of Josoph Miller, sonof the “Poet of the Sierras,” for stage robbery in California, created a sensation throughout the country. Young Miller is 22, He pleads in excuso for his crime that he was never oncouraged at school to make anything of himself. ‘I'he fanlt was away back behind that, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Ho had taint in bis blood before be was born. [f his favier had not been something of a genius the chancos are he would have deserted wiv- ilization and gone to live with savages, for he always had a strain_of wild blood 1 his veius. But above all that. this young Miller was the son of parents who hated each other; the mother hatod tho fatner and the father despised the mother, and’ when the boy was born he was stecped full of black passions. ' Minnio Myrtle was a sentimontal, oolish woman, though gifted in many ways. Joaquin Miller was a selfish, arrogant, egotistical, frontier-bred man. These two came together and were marriod. As s00n as the romance wore off and they saw each other in the truo light, they each despised tha other; and in this condition of mind this boy was born. The verdict of the jury in his case ought to be: “Guilty of oeing “born of unloving pareuts.” And the world should ponder over that verdict, for two-thirds of the crimes of the world are due to just that cause. Timber in the Northwest. The great timber resources of the Pacific northwest can scarcely be realized by those who have not visited the immense forests of giant trees growing so close together in many places thatitis almost impossible to travel through the woods, Twenty million acres of land are covered with u growth of wood which willcut an average of 25,000 feot of merchantable lumber. Much of it will cut an_average of 100,000 feet or more, while singlo trees arc common that will cuf 3,000 feet each. T'he Port Towosend Leader eStimates the quantity of merchautablo lum- ver standing in the forests of Washington at 160,000,000,000 feet, sufficient to supply all the markets of America for generations, and yet send f'eets luden with ship timbors to_every port of the civilized world. Ovegon, in the coast and cascade ranges, and 1 the'counties along the ocean from the Columbia river to tne Califorma line, has as much more tim- bor, and theso two great sister states, unless dovastated by forest firs, will never run short of building ma The Country Overdone The veracious and_ irropressible “Old Sub- scriber” sonds to Tue Bee from Portland, Ore., a vigorous ‘“kick” agaiust excessive pufiing of the Pacific northwest. Ho do- clares that in Montana, 1dano, Washington and Oragzon all the booms have collapsed and thousands of men are idle. The roal estato men and tho rmlroads gathored the harvost. “I think,” he says, “any ono who can mako a living in the east had better stay there. In the city of Portlana today there are hun- dreds of idle men. Property has decreased in valuo. Somo time ago I took a trip to (Gay’s harbor to sco that country. Aoout all 1 coutd soo wero flr stumps from two to six feot trough. It is o mystery how peoplo make a hving there.

Nothing, in fact, would please them less than 10 huve tho prosent exclusion law abrogated. As it is now Chinese cheap labor no longer exists. Chinamen are puid s well as any othor class of laborers and sometimos botter, In my vineyaras and orange groves I pay more to Chinamen than white workmon ask, because they do their work botter. When it comes to handling fruit delicately ana pack- ing it securely the Cninaman is & much more efffcient workman than any other available in California. Chineso cheap labor is a myth and will continue to bo S0 a3 long as the prosent restrictions on immigration romain in force." Nebraska.
