Effect of the Hot Wave on Various Lines

Special kilograms to BrGdst1'eet's indicate

STRIKE IN THE TIN CUP.
A Colorado Mine that Is Expected to Turn
Out Millions.

A Colorado Mine that Is Expected to Turn
Out Millions.
The Tin Cup mining region, which for a
long time has been perhaps one of the dull
est camps in Colorado. has suddenly be-
come one of the greatest mining camps in
the world. Mccormick & Lewis of Gun
nison purchased an abandoned property in
Union Park. known as the Wall lode,
for very small sum, supposing at
the tine that it was an iron deposit
and would become valuable in the
future, but wishing to ascertain the
value of their property they put men at
work on it who discovered the vein OF gold
quartz. In many pieces Of rock in the
same vein could be found free gold in great
quantities. Visitors to the mine pick up
very valuable pieces of rock from the
dump containing free gold. These were
thrown away by the former owner Of the
property as of no value. The ore will
average $1,000 per ton. while quantities Of
iron run from ten to twenty-five feet thick
and assay from SIS to $50 in gold. The
town is crowded with strangers, ana claim
jumpers arrive daily, and it may be that
there will be some trouble among the
miners for locations.

amount of currency. There were found

prairie the grass was knee deep The
whole bundle had been dropped ic one
place, and in the robbers haste had not
been securely hid. Coyotes or gophers
had torn and separated the money, and the
winds had scattered it. The amount re-
covered by the inspector was not disclosed.

CONTROL THE STOCK YARDS.

ChfcagO's Famous Concern GObbled by the
Pennsylvania Railway Company.
The announcement is made that the
Penns ylvania Railroad Company has
gained control of the Chicago Stock
Yards. The Chicago Junction Railways
and Union Stock Yards Company was in
corporated at Trenton. n. J.. with a capt.
tai Of $4,000 900, of which $4,000 is paid
in. The principal incorporators are w.
j. Sewell. of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and John Hoey, of the Adams Express
Company. The business of the company
is to buy and sell and otherwise deal
in the capital stock of the Chicago Union
Stock Yards and Transit Company. These
are the Chicago Stock Yards, about which
there has been considerable talk and the
control of which was thought would go
into the hands of Vanderbilt. It looks now
as though the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will have the control of them. The
main office of the company will be in New
York. Among the other incorporators be-
sides those mentioned above are William
G.. Lane, A. r. HERMAN, George H. Tay-
