Washington, May 26.--Co-operation Of
the forces of the general land office and
Of the geological survey in making sur
veys of public lands is one Of the plans
now being contemplated at the interior
departn cnt. Secretary Smith has lie.
cided to make an investigation to de-
ter1nine the feasibility of the plan, and
action will soon be taken. Heretofore
the survey has conducted its surveying
work with a view mainly to its use in
the Typographical maps Of that Office,

templated scheme it is thought that con-
siderable benefit will accrue to the gem

chosen this morning as the place for hold
ing the next convention of the Il. l.. T..
Last night there We're three cities in the
race-Salt Lake City, Columbus and Of
tawa. On the last ballot yesterday the
latter place had fewer votes in it's favor
than either of the other cities. There
was some irregularity about the ballot,
however, and Albert Hudson, leader of
the Canadian delegation, succeeded in
having the ballot set aside. This MORN
ing Ottawa showed up in the lead on the
first ballot and Salt Lake City, which led
yesterday. being the lowest, was dropped
out, leaving Columbus and Ottawa the
only competitors, and the latter won.
The selection of Ottawa was mainly due
to the generalship Of Albert Hudson,
who is chairman Of the dominion legis-
lative committee, and his efforts were
further rewarded by the convention which
elected him third grand assistant engi-
neer.

ELEVEN MEN KILLED
DESPERATE DEED OF STRIKING
MINERS IN COLORADO.
They Blow Up a Shaft Building and
Explode Giant Powder In the Mine,
killing Eleven Men Who Were at
Work.

Cripple Creek, Colo, May 26.-Eleven
men killed, with a strong probability of
the number Of dead being increased when
all is KNOWN, is the record of the first
day Of trouble here, although real fight
ing has not yet begun, as the deputies
are awaiting achievements before begin
ming active operations. At 10 o'clock this
morning clever. started to work in the
Strong mine, on Battle mountain. Short
~ afterward a large party Of strikers
blew up the shaft house with powder,
causing loss of $4,000, and then
dropped 100 pounds Of giant powder
down the shaft, which was also exploded,
killing all the inmates Not more than
800 yards from the Strong shaft house
sixteen men who had been engaged to
60 to work in the Independence mine
were surrounded in their bunk house and
after a long parley agreed to surrender.
Each one was armed with rifle and q
brace Of revolvcrs. The arms are now in
the possession Of the strikers.
1t is rumorcd that the strikers attacked
the Anna Lee mine, overpowered the
guards and blew up the shaft house.
but the rumor has not yet been verified.
When the deputies are finally massed
and the two forces come together Il most
desperate battle will doubtless follow.
The situation is one of most painful
anxiety. Not a few believe that the
town will be smouldering mass by an
other sunset if the strikers are not re-
strained. 1t is said that the strikers
have planted under their breastworks, on
Bull hill, a quantity Of dynamite with
the intention of blowing it up if it should
be taken and occupied by the deputies.
One of the largest mine owners in Colo
RADIO Springs is authority for the state
ment that the mine owners have planted
rificd cannon OH hill commanding the
breastworks, and that it will be used to
dislodge the strikers from their position.
