Show SHIPMENTS OF ORE ARE UNRESTRICTED Railroad Embargoes Have No Injurious Effect on Mining Industry In the West. The embargoes issued from time to time by eastern roads against shipments ship-ments to Chicago and points east will not affect the shipment of ore to that territory. According to officials of the Union Pacific, Salt Lake Route and Denver & Kio Grande railroads, most of the ore received by them for shipment ship-ment east is consigned to Omaha, Okla- homa and New Jersey. The embargoes in the main being directed against export ex-port business, the eastern roads will not reject ore shipments. "We receive considerable ore from Mexico,1' said William Warner, assistant assist-ant general freight and passenger agent of the Salt Lake Route, "arid thus far we have had no difficulty in sending it right through to its destination in the east. This in addition to the ore we receive from points on our own lines." "We ship large quantities of ore to Chrome and Grasselli, N. J., " said E. C. Manson, superintendent of transportation and telegraph of the Oregon Short Line, "and thus far there has been no difficulty in getting eastern east-ern railroads to accept it. About one-half one-half of the ore we handle goes east of Chicago. Fortunately, the embargoes against eastern shipments have not affected af-fected the mining interests of the west." |
