Adams plans independent Union Pacific Coal company
The Salt Lake press reports a bold shift in policy as Mr. Adams proposes consolidating all Union Pacific coal lands under a separate company named Union Pacific Coal. The railroad would transfer its coal lands for stock in the new firm, with Adams as its resident, keeping the coal business independent while supplying the railroad at cost.
