The Assessment on Railroad Properties in Montana Boulder Will Give a Bonus isfotes. lows tho river to New Uloi, which brings it almost on an air-lin- with Omaha. Tho proposed and partially surveyed route will bo at least fifty miles "shorter than any road now oper-ated between St. Paul and Omaha. On account of this directness the pro-jectors expect to capture the lion's share of the patronage between St. Paul ahd Omaha, as the distance can bo cov-ered in twelve hours, where eighteen are now required. Tho line forms 11 connecting link between the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, "Soo" line, Duluth roads and Northern Wisconsin systems, centering at St. Pall ami all of the roads touching Omaha. It will give Omaha, Nebraska and Iowa a di-rect line to the lumber regions and fur-nish a new outlet for western grain by the way of the Duluth connections and the great lakes. The line from Hop-kins to New Ulm is under contract to bo completed by December 81, 1WH, any it is expected to have the road in operation to Omaha by tho end of 1S02. A New JtiiBil to Deep l.'reelc. United States deputy marshals who have just returned from a pilgrimage along the projected route state that the path-linder- s for a new railway between Salt Lake and tho Deep Creek mining country are. in tho field and that pre-liminary uotes and surveys are now being made It was impossible to ob-tain any definite information from the field corps, who were dumb as the proverbial clam. Italluay Notes ami Pergonals ('has. lngalls, traveling passenger agent of the Union Pacific, left last evening for Denver. The annual stutAncut of the Wabash for the year ending .Tune :(0, 1H!)0, is as follows! Total receipts $18,440,852.80. operating expenses 9,73,S21.18. net earnings $3, 707, 0i 1,. 02; surplus $237,-701.5- It is on record that tho Vanderbilts once gave a cheek for 700,000 in a tre-mendous railway transaction, but that record is now beaten by a check for 1,250,000 said to be drawn in Loudon by tho Indian and Peninsula Hailway company. The sand along the banks of the Co-lumbia river, in Oregon, is an obstacle to railway trallio almost as tlitlieult to overcome as the snow blockades during the winter. Nearly every train is de-layed on account of the ever shifting sand hills covering the tracks. It is reported that M. V. Newlin, general agent of the Union Pacific at Fort Worth, is to be appointed general freight agent of the St. Joseph division of the road to succeed W. 1'. Robinson, jr. Another rumor is that Mr. Robin-son's chief clerk, S. M. Adsit, is to re-ceive the appointment. General Passenger Agent Bennett, of the Rio Grande Western, returned this morning from a trip lo the coast. He said that railway affairs were quiet, al-though business was unusually good. While in San Francisco, however, he had been appioached by a number of contractors who wanted detailed infor-mation about when the contracts were to bo let for Salt Lake City's uew pave-ments. The General Passenger Agents. The general passenger agents meet in Denver on the sixteenth instant. This city will be represented by Messrs. Kc-tie- s and Bennett. Mr. Kccles is now in Idaho and has telegraphed that ho will go directly to Denver. Mr. Ben-nett said this morning that he would attend the meeting and will afterwards conduct the members of the association to Salt: Lake, on a pleasure trip. They will arrive here on the twenty-thir- d iust. Au excellent programme for their entertainment has been arranged by the chaiubei of commerce, in connec-tion with the Union Pacific and Rio Grande Western companies. lioulder Want the Koad. At Boulder' Col., last Tuesday night a large meeting of citizens was held to listen lo the report of the committee lo devise ways and means of with the Denver, Utah & Pacific Kail-roa- d company to secure the Left baud railroad enterprise to Boulder. Dr. Bond and Dr. Brace outlined tho purpose of the committee as a result of the conference with the railroad people and suggested that a subscription of $50,000 bo raised, part of which should be in the nature of a subsidy and a part in subscription of the stock of the cou- - siruclion company. It was slated on good authority that the railroad woulcl be built toward, provided Boulder's citizens decided to take an 'interest in the enterprise. Twenty-fiv- thousand dollars have al-ready been guaranteed by Boulder's citizens, conditioned upon the machine shop being located at that point. Two lines have been surveyed, one by Left Hand canyon and the other by Sunshine to a point near Ward, and the proposi-tion at present contemplates Boulder and Ward as the present termini. Tlte Montana Assessment, Tho Montana state board of equaliza-tion, which nas beeu in session for some months past, has finished its work in assessing for taxation tho railroad prop-erty of tho state. The Northern Pacific is assessed at $2250 per mile," tho Great Northern at $4000 per mile, the Mon-tana Union at $4500 per milo, except on tho Walkerville branch, which is rated at $3500. Tho Utah Northern is assessed at $05!l,8ii2, for tho total of miles oper-ated, 120.10. The Helena & Jefferson is assessed at $4000 per mile, Gallatin branch of the Northern Pacific at $4000, the Rocky Fork and Cook City road at $4000, and the Great Falls & Canada at $;iooo. The total amount of mileage as re-turned by the board is given at 1024.4 miles of lines in operation, and the gross amount of railway property as-sessed is $((,528,:i83. This return by 1 lie slate board gives an increase of mileage since last October of 140 miles in opera-tion. Thero aro now in construction branches to tho amount of 210 miles. Tho roads surveyed but not yet begun foot up 5T0 miles. Biiikoss Has Resigned. F. A. Burgess, assistant general superintendent of tho Santa Fe, with headquarters at Santa Fo, who has per-formed tho duties of division superin-tendent, has resigned, taking effect on the 15th, 'and will be succeeded by C. McClcllan, who has been chief clerk to General Superintendent Gcortrn L. Sands for a long time! Mr. McClellan will probably have the title of division superintendent. The appointment of C. L. Leslie as trainmaster at La Junta and of F. J. Easley as trainmaster at San Marcial aro part of the samo plan of reorganization. It is said that Mr. Burgess will go to tho Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe. Tho Union PhcIIIu Trestle Work. Tho Oinaha Bee says: Tho Union Pacific road is hauling a good slico of Nebraska over into Iowa. Ever since the middle of M;iy there have been two long trains hauling earth from the hanks down near South Oma-ha over to the trestle work at tho cat ond of the Union Pacific bridge across the Missouri. These trains are loaded with a steam shovel and unloaded with an immouse plow pulled along tho flat cars from one end of tho train to the other by means of a rope and windlass attached to the engine. Six men at each cud of tho route do more work with this modern equipment than could do fifty with ordinary hand shoves. The trestle work from the end of tlio bridge clear out to the crude will be tilled in solid with earth before! the work is considered complete. It will require several months yet to complete the work, although enough earth has alroady been hauled to make a good sized addition to Council Bluffs. Vmler a ti0w Name. The Omaha Bee says: Tho Winona & Southwestern railway scheme has been revived in a new form and tho in-dications are that the work will be car-ried out and Omaha furnished with a direct line to the great lumber regions of Wisconsin and the northwest. The projectors of the line have changed tho name and incorporated iu in Minnesota as the St. Paul, New Ulm & Southwestern Kailway company. They propose to build a lino from St. Pwil southwest, touching Sioux City, Cherokee, Council BluB's, la., aud cross-ing the river at Omaha. The company is organized with a capital stock of $2,000,000. The survey for the proposed line begins at Hop-kins, east of St. Paul, ata junction with the Chicago,' Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Creat Northern. From Hopkins the line parallels the Minneapolis & St. Louis to Carver, and then enters the Minnesota valley. It fol- - WITH EASTERN CAPITAL A Wealthy Brooklyn Man Buys One Hun-dred and Twenty Lots in Brigh-ton Addition. WILL EEEOT FORTY HOUSES. A Deal That Brings Some Fifty Thousand of Eastern Money Into Salt Lake City. , Edwin W. Senior has just completed a big doal which will bring some $30,-00- 0 eastern capital to Salt Lake City and promises to add quite a respetable number ot homes to tho now lim-ited supply in this city. Mr. L. C. Hopkins, a well-know-capitalist of Brooklyn, N. Y., has .pur-chased from him 120 lots in the Brighton addition.' For these lots Mr. Hopkins paid $12,000. One Teaturo about this sale was that it was a cash sale. Mr. Hopkins has been watching Salt Lake realty for some time and has seen that values are continually increasing. This he thought was a favoroble time to buy. Realty, in his opinion, is going to advance steadily. Ho noticed tho demand for houses, and saw the opportunity to make money. After carefully studying the situa- - tion ho came to the conclusion that thero was no more favorable place in which to put his money than the Brigh-ton addition. It is admirably located and in the course of a few weeks tho street car line will pass right through the property and make it of easy access. It will then' bo just far enough out for pleasant residences, for men whose businesses aro in the city. Mr. Hopkins has already had pre- - Eared plans for the erection of forty and will probably, as soon as they are completed, put up as many more. These houses will cost on an average of $1000 each. They will be four roomed frame cottages. Three of these cottages will be com-menced on Monday morning, and will bo completed just as soon as possible. The work on the others will in tho meantime also be pushed along without delay. The lots purchased by Mr. Hopkins were as follows: Lots 1 to 15 and 17 to 22 in block 22; lots 1 to 9 and 14 to 20 in block 35; lots 1 to 11 in biock 36; lots 1 to 11. 13 and 14 ond 17 to 24 in block 48; lots 8 to 22 in block 49; lots 1 to 24 in block 51; lots 7 to 12 in block 61 and lot 10 in block 63. The deeds for the transfer of these lots have been made out and will be placed on record this afternoon.

' THE CRAND JURY. , A Match of Indictments Reported and the Horiy Mill Grinding. The grand jury turned in the first batch of true bills to the district court yesterday afternoon and eight indict-ments were lodged. Among the in-dictments was one against Joseph Quinn, charged with larceny. Arrests hot having been made on the others the names were suppressed. A clause in the report informs the court that in the ' cases of Ingram, charged with assault, and J J. Glocson with impersonating an officer they had not found it judicious to return true bills. t is no violation of propriety to state that an indictment has probably been indorsed against Kiley, the train wrecker. For. two days past the jury have been airing tho diabolical plot to hurl a cargo of excursionists into clernitv and tho cvidenco is said to point with damning emphasis towards the prisoner who is now in jail. A largo number of subptr-na- s have gone over into ward Bountiful for wit-nesses in the case of tho people against Enrick llolbrook hold for arson. Al-though the confession of the prisoner is practically a plea of guilty tho method of criminal procedure will have to bo followed. An indictment will conse-quently follow on his own admissions should ho confirm them in the jury room. Silver Proferrecl.

IN REALTY CIRCLES. The Market Showing Signs of Unusual Activity-Pri- ces Are Going Up. MEN WHO HAVE MONEY TO INVEST An Eastern Party Willing to Put $10,000 Into a Hotel at Hot Springs Notes and Personals, 'There was unusual activity on tho real estate exchange this morning. There was a long list of wants. Among these Mr. Lett asked for two or two and one-hal- f rods on a cut street for from $1200 to $1 100. Mr. Wickersham said that he had it and in a moment the deal was closed. Mr. Lett also asked for five acres of good tillable land with-in livo miles of Hie city. Quito a lot of new property was listed this morning. Prices arc going up somewhat. The snaps have all been gobbled up and anything that now is offered for even a shade below tho mar-ket price is Knapped up so quick that it almost lakes the breath away. The city is full of strangers and every one of them seems to be looking after real estate. Dr. McKenney, of New Orleans, has been here a month and has just purchased 185x125 on Sixth South between Fifth and Sixth Fast, and will erect an eight house terrace. Iaeh house will contain six rooms. Tho terrace will cost about $38,000. This Means Kiiaiuea. As an instance showing how Salt Lako city impresses the average visitor from tho east, the following is charac-teristic. Mr. K. K. Wise, general man-ager of the Hutchison & Southern rail-road, was receully in tho city on his way to the Pacific coast. He looked around him here and before leaving said to a reporter that he believed Salt Lake would become the great city be-tween the Missouri river and the Pacific coast. Ho was particularly attracted by the evidences of the city's business growth, and said that he would stop off here on his return and make some in-vestments in realty. Some of his friends, ho said, had made a great deal of money on real estate here. He referred particularly to one piece of property in the northern part of the city that had been purchased by a friend of his for $600 per acre and'for which $1500 per acre had recently been olfercd, an ad-vance of 250 per cent. Not Yrt C ne Through. 'There is one thing more I wish to say to you. "The Tabor deal, it has not yet gono through." Thus sang Mr. Wickersham as he en-tered the real estate exchange this morning. Considerable time was spent discussing this deal by the real estate men today. That Senator Tabor was negotiating for the site referred to, but as it is known tjitit tho property would have to go through the courts, which would take from six months to a year, it is generally thought that tho pro-posed deal will fall through. A Stone Ware Manufacturer. Secretary Montgomery of the real es-tate exchange, is in receipt of a letter from a stone ware manufacturer in a Missouri town, who is viewing Salt Lake with longing eyes, He says he wants to move bis plant out west, and thinks Salt Lake is the promised land. Ho wants to know all about the clay here and whether ithasbeeu tested. Ho also wants a sample. Besides this, he would like to have the market price of stone ware in Salt Lake, and all other information in regard to the growth and prosperity of the city. The Senators Remark. "Utah will soon bo in tho lead in mineral products," said Senator Tabor at the chamber of commerce tho other day, while viewing the collection of Utah minerals on exhibition there. This remark has great force coming as it does from a man who has a thorough knowledge of the mineral resources of tho western country. It is said in min-ing circles that the senator has recently been investigating some mining prop- erties in the Tiutio district. Will i'ut In 10,0(10. A gontlcnum from the east this week visited the hot 'springs. He expressed much wonder that such a valuable san-itarium was not improved and a mag-nificent hotel and bathing house ereiO--ed-. He said that he would take $10,000 worth of stock in a first class establish-ment of that kind, and believed it would be one of the most profitable invest-ments that could be found any place in tho west. A Business Mens Excursion. The wholesale merchants of Omaha arc arranging an excursion to Salt Lake City and the Pacific coast. The date has not yet been decided upon but they have been in correspondence with par- ties in this city and. when tbpy do come will stop over for several' days here. Other I.cltc.s of Inquiry. A man in Antlers, Indian territory, is looking for a new location. That country he says, is played but and he wants to know about Salt Lake City Parties in New Orleans, and Blooming-ton- .

This was arraignment day in the dis-trict court, and a brilliant array of tal-ent filed into the court room from the county jail, where a number of them have been taking their refreshments for several months. Joseph Quinn, charged with burg-lary, plead guilty to the indictment, and was sentonced lo two years in the penitentiary and to two months in the county jail, the latter penalty applying to his plea of guilty to a charge of assault and bat-tery. John Burke and Henry Siegnor, in-dicted for burglary, plead not guilty, and were assigned attorneys. Frank Myers was arraigned on a fel-ony and plead not guilty. Joe Phillips on an 'indictment for grand larceny and James Banks for burglary each pleaded not guilty and were provided with counsel. In addition to the work on the crim-inal calendar a number of civil orders were entered. The Beg-att- was a Fizzle. Tho regatta at Garfield yesterday was t he biggest kind of a lizzie. Tho first race was a three cornered af-fair participated in by Provo, Salt Lako and Garfield. Provo was first to turn and the Garrtclds were next. Both tnese crews were well under way when the Salt Lakers started for the homo Hag and Provo had a lead of at least two lengths over Garfield. Hut the lat-ter braced up and in a short time were abreast of their rivals. The Salt Lako crew were at least ten lengths behind when Provo got into Garfield water and the result was a collision. In the mean-time, Salt Lake pulled in and crossed the line eight lengths ahead in 8:28. Judges Tousoy and Pike decided that a foul had been committed, and that the race would have to bo rowed over again, and then enused a scene. The light four-oare- race was called but Provo refused to row. Webster and Dinwoody won tho double scull race. Last night they all had a banquet at the Metropolitan.

Twelve Hundred Ladies and Gentlemen Kxlend an Ovation. One of the most enjoyable events that have, taken place in theological circles for many months was the reception and cordial welcome extended by his cli-entage and the representatives of tho various denominations to Rev. Dr. W. Mabry, the new pastor of tho First Methodist church. Tho event took place in tho edifice in which a largo number had assembled. Upon the ros-trum were u, number of distinguished gentlemen, including Rev. Dr. Hi IT,, who presided. Governor Thomas, Sec-retary of the Territory Sells, Rev. Dr. Arnold, Rev. Dr. McNieco, Rev. J. B. Thrall and the new acquisition to pul-pit circles, the Rev. Dr. Mabry. The services were opened with Divine invocation, after which Rev. Iliff made an opening address in which the ingre-dients of Methodism wero eloquently set forth. His address contained mauy interesting facts, among them that at each annual conference there are 14,000 Methodist pastors subject to reassign-ment, tho conference covering every stato and territory in tho union. Governor Thomas followed in a char-acteristic? address, and assured the re-cipient of tho ovation that tho territory was in hearty sympathy with the spirit that had brought together the people of every denomination to extend him welcome. He admonished him of tho pe- culiarities that would bo hourly brought to his attention, and congratulated the church upon the good results it had achieved in the past. Rsv. J. B. Thrall who had been elected to extend the welcome to the new minister in behalf of the christian churches, tnen delivered an eloquent and impressive address, concluding with the words: "And so, my brother, in the name of every Christian minister in this city and territory, I bid vou wel-come? to our brolhernood. As was cus-tomary in the larno hospitality of the patriarchal days, lot mo take your hand and say, 'Come in, thou blessed of the Lord.'" In behalf of the laity, Mr. P. A. Dix made a timely address, infusing with an appropriate vein of airiness and humor, after which the chairman read a telegram from Rev. G. M. Jeffrey of the Provo Methodist church assuring Rev. Mabry of their hearty approval. Pastcir Mabry responded with mani-fest feeling and emotion, alter which Prof. Zimmerman, leader of tho Liberal band delivered a cornet solo to orgnn accompaniment, when Mrs. Hoyden ended the literary features with a 'reci-tation. Benediction was pronounced, when all abandoned themselves to a generous collation which had been pro- vided by the. Indies of the church.

The Minneapolis millers held a meet-ing Saturday to consider the matter of wheat grading. There are loud com-plaints that the state has let down on the quality of wheat that is allowed to go into tho threo upper grades. This, some of the millers claimed, is carried so far as to make it unsafe to buy for their mills in any other way than by sample. A proposition for the millers to unite in ti refusal to buy No. 1 northern wheat by grade was dis-cussed. There was nearly an ccpial di-vision of sentiineut as to whether or not the adoption of an agreement not to buy any by grade would be the best way out of the situation. Those opposed to tho agreement insisted that it would be their policy to buy in whatever way they thought would bo to their individ-ual advantage. They claimed that the proper way to remedy the evil would be for the elovaior' people to refuse to take into their houses un-sound wheat . in tho tinner crraW when such aro sent to them and to call for a reinspection. The com-mission men were also divided on the subject, several claiming that the grad-ing is all right. Others took the ground that the standard adopted is entirely too low and lets unsound wheat into grades where it is not entitled to go Some dealers say that if the standard is kept down no grado wheat Mjill bo taken unless at prices enough lower to cover the risk in taking it.
