Railroad rates under consideration in mining case
In Salt Lake City the Interstate Commerce Commission heard Richmond Eureka Mining Co v Eureka Nevada Railway Co over ore shipping from Ruby Hill Nevada to Midvale Utah. The mine seeks $2.95 total rate, while the railroad demands $5.85 and argues four miles of track between Ruby Hill and Eureka must be operated. The case questions jurisdiction and urges capital improvements to handle 150–200 tons daily for ten years. The hearing adjourns as commissioner Marble prepares the record for full Commission review in Washington.
