General Freight Agent Eccles of the Union Pacific stated this morning that during the past thirty days 11,000 cars of freight, including in-cluding coal, stone, wool, cattle and sheep, had been loaded from and shipped over the Wyoming division. The average number of trains per day over the Sherman divide is thirty-six, double that of any other period and the trains are twice the size as formerly. The company has adopted the pusher system instead of the section plan and the results are very gratifying. The stock busiueM is good and on account of receut rains cattle are in splendid con-, con-, dition. W. F. Mellert recently shipped 500 cars of Arizona stock from Milford to his ranches north, via the Union Pacific. THK STOCK NEARLY READY. San Franciscans Preparir-gr to Boom the i Line to Thii City. i Daniel Meyer, one of the leading men in the Salt Lake & 8an Francisco Railway com-. com-. pany, has written a letter to a citizen of this city, in which he asserts that the certificates of stock will be issued during the earlier part of next week. The San Francisco people peo-ple seem to be thoroughly in earnest over this matter and have delayed circulating their subscription list until one or two prospective pros-pective stockholders, who are in the East, fan return and head the list with big sums for a starter, the effect of which, it is believed, be-lieved, will be largely beneficial. The engineers are now surveying the line east of Keno. Railroad Notes. ?A large excursion of A.O. U. "W people from Park City is in the city today. .
