Stubbs,' vlce-prodnt of the Southern
PaciOc lUllriad, whoa? appoimmn:
a traffic manager f ihe vast oysteni
o( railtnada enrolled by the Harrl
man Intones was announced In rhi
has arrived In thU city.
In speaking at the Innovation to be
Introduced In ra-lroad methods by :h
creation of the position to which he
haa just been appointed, Mr. Stubbs
explained the matter by saying that
Harriman nad heen considering for
wme time the feasibility and practica
bility of divorcing the traffic of the
nnea In which he is interested from
the other affairs of the road. He has
talked over the- acheme with the other
gentlemen who helped frame the policy
and direct the fortunes of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, and has
evolved a plan, which In Harriman's
oinion. ought to accomplish the here
tofore impoaible task of harmoniiing
the interest of the several Harriman
roads. As Mr. Stubbs puts it, it is a
laa to bring about a unification of
(ntetres-.s with a reduction of friction
and elimination of unnecessary compe
tition, while consolidating the proper
ties under one management.
Under this plan one man is ti ha
charge of the traffic of the several cor
porations and la order to effectually
divorce the traffic from the other af
fairs of the road, this official will re
port directly to the board. This pvi
ticn of power and responsibility, com
parable to no other In the history of
railroading, was offered to Mr. S:ubb
and he accepted. The position is an ab
solutely new one in railroading. Mr
stucos a.ies not even Know what title
vill be bestowed upon him. "I sup
pose." he said, "that It will be 'traffic
director" or 'director of traffic. That is
a matter of detail that ha not been
explained as yet."
"In a word." Mr. Stubbs went ,-n to
explain. "I am to be place 1 in entire
charge of the traffic of the Southern Pa
cific the T'nion Par-ifie, the Oregon
Short Line, the Orvgnn Railroad &
Navigation Company, and I will rp..r:
to the board of directors of the several
companies. Thu mrans that I am to
report direct to Mr. Harriman. The
organization is simply this: I
"Ea h compiny has its board of d j
rectors and each board of director..- his
aa executive committee pr-5:de-d "V-r
by a chairman. When the board of di. '
rectors is in ssi in i: is suprm an 1
when the b,arl is n.it in s-s-lon an 1
the executive cimmitte is holding a ,
meeting, the executive commit : is ?u-!
irwn. When the executive e-vrm:"-?
to not in s-'-ssion. the chairman ..f th-
executive fomm'!!" runs ?himrs. E. If. s
Harriman is chairman .if 1 1 1 e-.u'iv--i
eomm'ttee of ea.-h rf the four roids !
"Th other :Iarrl.i.an road', such as'
the Illinois Central and the Chicago &
Alton, are not emi,ra'. l in this ar. I
rang-m -nr. My r-,-insirli:i-. w;u b--confined
to the line? west of -.v,,. r.v-r.
This is the territory within uhi.'h ill
the traffic trouble have Tl-t--1. T.n-r- !
have hen po.ils rind g-ntlmen's aurf- ;
merits, and thev have all failed -., s lv--j
the priblem. Xw Mr. Harr'man pro- i
pos'-r? to try this -xperiirK-n' of hind- '
ling th traffic of the lln-s ov-r whi. h I
he presid-?.
"I am Hied upon to show Mr. Har
riman and n's asocl i;s that a sys'e.
malic rei JJjstin-.i; ,.f the traffic meth
od? of the several ra'lroa.ls on harm,-
mc.i Ins and an econo- ic id-runis-1
tratl.m of the affair? of the traffic ,
payments will b- attf-nl-l by ereiterl
prijfi,. Mr. Harriman has s'ih anl
Wi-a and I am to demonstrate it to him I
fn practice. It i all new and eXp r . '
mental. The pathway is un"'ilaznd. I
Whether the results will ju-lify the!
experiment remains to i).- se-n. I have',
no ld,M whether or not the arra ng. m-nt
will be permanent. R -cause ()f th- v -ry I
novelty of my new position and le.itjse '
I will ll hencef ,nh in Chago inHid I
of S;in Francisco. T am n t as happy
ovr the change a I m Kht be." j
Mr. Stuhbs said that the n.-w ar
rangement respecting hims.-jf was a
complete surprise to the presidents
the Southern Pacific and t'nion Pacific
as !t was to oth.-r railroad m---n in ?he
country who r n.t prepared -o
such a revolution 'n the methods of con
servative railroal corporations.
The whole thing was cut and dried,"
he said, "before President Hay- of the
Southern Pacific and President Burt of
the t'nion Pacific reached Chicago
All that had to be done when they ar
rived was to inform them of the fact."
Mr. Stubbs was asked if his pro
motion would be attended by any oth.-r
changes In the general office ,f the
Southern Pacific or in the traffic de
a.irtnients of the o'her roals with
which he will henceforth lie Identified.
He said he saw no reason for any
rhanges and he believed that all the
present officials would hold their po
sitions. Mr. Stubbs said that when he left
Chicago a plan was bHng perfected
to place the traffic of the Northern
Pacific, the Croat Northern and th
I'urilnulon in the hand, of IWIus
Miller at present, second vlce-presl
dent of the i.re.-u Nii;hein, and that
there would in all rolab.lliy be
brought about a ntialuatloii in the
management of the great lines including
the Missouri Pacific, Texts and Ito
Ciiande lines, Mr Stubbs will Icav
here early in July to enter uiron the

IRON MAUKirr RKYIKW.
Belter P.vllng Reported In Eotindiy
t 'enter Consumption of Pig
Iron IjtgxV
'.'t.EYELANP, June M -The Iron
Trade Review, discuslng the markt
conditions this week, says:
Iharchases of pig iron, . hielly be,
semer. in the Pittsburg district by two
Important .Mtvsumers have given a h-i-ter
tone to the market and there an"
Itidicitlons that It is on the verge of a
buying movement. V'pwards of IiXViW
tons of bosaomer and gray forge lion
were taken In the w.vk's purchases, de
liveries for the majority of the tonnage
extending only thrugh the nex; two
months. A better fivl ng with consd
er.ible inquiry Is reported frm foutidrj
Iron cs'iiters, though so far as business
has been closed sellers have nothing
to Ntst of In (he way of prices. South
ern foundry irons are from il to Jl
K'low the level of the market sut.v. an l
Northern foundn." Ir-n In central west
em districts has been offered at from T5
cents to tl below the top pr ces of the
earlv months of the year.
There Is no doubt as to the record
breaking consumption of pig iron.
Apart from th0 statistic from which
an apparent consumption at a yearly
rate of IS.;00.000 U figured, the urgency
with which pr.Klucers are b-llig pressej
for delivery of Irvn indicates that iv'ti-
sumers have unusually small amounts
In stock. Front the foundries inquirl vi
for from three to six months' supply
are tvginning to come in and the pr.w-P-vts
are that an active buyltig cati
be reirted bere Ihe end erf the month.
The machinists" str ks has not mad.
a c.snslderable lnr.ad Into consumption
as yet. anl reports Indicate that the
number ..f men at work is being In
creased week by week. However at
Important eenters the deadlock is st.li
unchanged and the continued Jl.-n -s.s
of important plants will hae its ffVct
upon the call for iron and steel n tlm.v

While the price has been fair, had It
been a shade higher the production
would be a little better next year. The

by a g'-ologUt and mining expert of
worldwide reputation. Professor IVn
Jiumn Sllllman, who spent several
iiiontlis there, then being connected
with the Unlt'-d State surveying corps,
und In his olllclul p-porl saym
"H'T" are countless inlllions of tons
of rich gold rpiartz teduc-d by the
great forces of nature to a condition
r-udy for th" application of the hydraul
ic process, while the entire be, of the
Rio Grande for nvT forty miles Is a
s.ulce, on Ihe bars of which the gold
U.-rlve, from tbe wearing away of the
gruvl banks bus b'-en accumulating
for counties ag-s, and now lies ready
for extraction by the most upproved
methods of rlvr mining. The thick
tiens of the Rio Grande gold gravel ex
ceeds in many places tiOO feet, or nearly j
irin-e umcs inut or the like be, in
California, while the average value per
cubic yard Is believed to be greater
In the New Mexico beds than In any
other auch accumulations yet discov
ered. "I have made a reconnafsance of the
whole of this gravel along tha
Rio Grande, and have examined with
all the care possible lii the tlm at my
command the character of the gravel
and It contents of irold. Nothing, I
am persuaded, clnce the discov
ery of Callforsln and Australia Is com
parable for Its Immeasurable resources
f gold available by tbe hydraulic pro
cess to the iip placers of the Rio
Grande."
