Personals

Topeka, Kan, June "A reorganiZa-
ton of all but 100 miles of the central
branch of the Missouri Pacific, which
was sold at auction on May %, has
been effected, and six Topeka men are
named as directors of the two new
companies. ]. W. Gleed, C. S. Gleed,
P. l. Bonebrake, J. L. Hunt. F. M.
Bonebrake and Eugene F. Ware are the
men having control.
The new companies are the Atchison,
Colorado & Pacific Railroad company
and the Atchison, Jewell County &
Western. The former takes the cen
trail branch property from Waterville,
Marshall county, to LenOra, Norton
county, with all connecting branches,
and the capital stock is placed at 4,-
500, 900.
The articles of incorporation, which
were fled today, provide for the build
ing of line to Topeka from Waterville
and from Lenora in a northwesterly
ton of Denver. The latter company
takes in the property from jamestown.
Republic county, to Burr Oak. Jewell
county, a distance of so miles, and has
a capital stock of S5S5.000.
The Topeka men are associated with
Oliver Ames and IT. Jefferson Coolidge,
eastern capitalists identified with the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line. o.-
1t is generally believed that the Santa
Fe will shortly gain control of these

THE GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY
M'KINLEY'S APPOINTEES.
Vast Sums Of American Money to Be
Expended In Public Improvements
Mckinley Laying Plans.

New York. June "A dispatch to the
World from Washington says: The
state department and the attorney
general, by direction of the president,
are working hard in the preparation of
form of government for Cuba, after
the Spaniards are driven from the is
land. In this connection a careful
study has been made of the government
Great Britain gave Egypt, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether any part
of it would apply temporarily or per
manently to Cuba, with a view always
to the ultimate absolute freedom of the
island.
The administration does not believe
that Cuba, without assistance. can i'm
mediately after peace is declared or
ganize and put into effect a stable gov
eminent, and the president believes it
to be his duty to help these people in
their efforts. To properly prepare for
this emergency, a careful study of the
Spanish system of government. from
the highest to the lowest degree, in
Cuba, is being made, and the same at
tention is being paid to the primitive
rules and laws of the so-called repub-
lie of Cuba The object of this re-
search is to endeavor to eliminate all
that is Objectionable and to adopt all
that will be useful.
1t is understood to be the intention
of the president to place a military
governor in each province of Cuba,
who Will be subordinate to a governor
general of the island. 1t is possible
that the president may ask aid from
congress in establishing a stable form
of government in Cuba, but this is a
matter of detail that has not been de-
cided upon.
AS soon as the attempt is made to
establish a government in Cuba, a
corps of engineers will be put to work
to construct railroads, telegraph lines, !
telephones, to survey for waterworl1s |
for cities, or place in order those which |
now exist, and to institute a complete |
modern system of sewage in Havana |
and other large cities. Every thing !
possible to aid Cuba to recover from |
its devastated condition and become a |
producing nation win be done by this !
government. Now effort is being made |
to have a complete plan for these oper-
atoms ready to be put into effect as
soon as peace is declared.

When the brokers went into the pit
yesterday another raid was made upon
Northern Light by the bear element
and the stock was knocked down as
low as S1s cents. Luce loaded up with
several thousand shares and paid as
high as 8 cents for some of it. Pollock
offered s cents for 10000 shares, but no
one was able to supply his wants
Geyser Marion was not sought for
and only 100 shares changed hands,
which went to Pollock.
Sunbeam stiffened up a little and
was strong at IS cents. The stock was
wanted by several brokers, but very
few wanted to let it go. There seems
to be prevailing feeling that the
stock is going to advance

ore ever taken from the mine, it is
said, was taken from this winze. Since
the pumps were started, now about
two weeks ago, the water has been
taken out of the shaft, levels and
Wine, and sinking will be resumed in
the winze until the 600 is reached. 1t
is thought that this depth will be suf-
ficient to pierce through the barren
strata and good ore again be encoun-
tered. In all the mines so far worked
in this district to depth of 400 feet,
this same barren zone has been found,
and it is claim1i that about the same
state of things was encountered in
Butte. Should Mr.. Merrill succeed in
again bringing the Liverpool into
bonanza, it would have the effect of
starting up every mine in the district,
therefore more than passing interest
itself to his operations on the
Liverpool Mr.. Merrill has every con-.
fidence in his success. and it is the
opinion of those best
acquainted with the mines of this dis
trict that his theory is correct Should
it prove so the Liverpool will not only
have opened the camp originally, but
will succeed in reopening it now,
which is more to the point.

perintendent Benner has taken a 30
days lay-off. He will go to southern
Utah and examine some placer claims
in which he is interested. and will spend
the balance of the time in a pleasure
excursion in the hills. Jim Russell will
have charge of the mine during his alb
sence.
There have been several changes in
the Geyser-Marion recently. Chris
Beck. who has been the company black
smith for years, has gone on a pros
pecting trip. A new mill man is in
charge of the mill, and altogether about
80 of the men have ceased their labors
for the company.
The mine is looking well, and three
shifts are being worked since the con-
nection was made short time since.
Part of the ore being treated is from
the upper Workings, ana some OF 1t
comes from the mill tunnel A drift is
now being run from the mill tunnel to
connect with the old Marion workings.
The Power company has completed
the line TO the Chloride Point, and it
will soon be making its trial run

force of men at work preparing the
Ophir Hill mine and mill for opera
tons. Both having been idle for a
couple of years there is considerable
to be done, but it is expected that in
week or ten days everything will be in
readiness.

LANDING THE FLORIDA'S CARGO
SPANIARDS MADE NO ATTEMPT
TO INTERFERE.
Were Within a Few Miles of the
Landing and Knew What Was
Going On-A Deserter.

Tampa, Fla, June 2.-The transport
Florida, which left here over two weeks
ago with one of the largest expeditions
for the arming and reinforcement of
the Cuban army ever sent out from
Tampa, returned here today. Confined
on board with the grave charge of de-
sertion against him is an American who
enlisted in the Cuban volunteers. The
mans name is said to be Tate. He
lives in Tampa, and Joined the volun-
teers some time before their departure.
Tate was not discovered until some
time after the Florida had left Point
Banes. where the landing was made.
and though at first there was a strong
inclination to turn back and put him on
shore, it was finally decided to bring
him on TO Tampa as a prisoner. Tate,
in defense of his action, told Captain
Silver that he had killed a man on
shore, and did not dare stay with the
volunteers for that reason.
What action viii be taken in his case
has not yet been decided. The main
features of. the Florida expedition have
been published, but additional details
were learned today from Pilot Silver
and from Captain Dorst, who had
charge of the expedition. Although
Spanish soldiers were within three
miles of the landing place and two
Spanish gunbOatS were only five miles
away, absolutely no trouble was ex-
perienced in landing the stores The
Spaniards undoubtedly knew that
stores and volunteers were being put
on shore, but they did not come near.
There were no interruptions during the
entire three days the Florida spent in
the harDor. The transport was met by
a crowd of perhaps 300 pacificos, old
men and women, emaciated and almost
naked, who had heard of her coming.
and who assisted with an eagerness
that was almost pathetic in unloading
the cargo of the Florida.
On the second day of the Florida's !
stay in harbor, a good sized body of |
Cuban insurgents, in command of Cen !
eral RayO, appeared on the shore and !
the work of unloading was then pushed /
with the utmost vigor. The day pre-
vious the force under Rayo had an en-
gagement lasting several hours with a /
arge body of Spanish troops. which re-
suited in the defeat of the latter The
Insurgents lost dozen killed during
he pursuit of the Spaniards. Word
anne that the steamer Florida was on
he coast, and without stopping for rest
n rations, the insurgents took up the
march to the sea, which was eight
niles distant. When shore was reached,
the insurgents for "a hours
lad had nothing to eat but a few ba-
lanas apiece, they went to work at
nee unloading the F'lorida's cargo.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
Beginning Sunday All Lines Make
Low Rates Second Glass.

Chicago, June Next Sunday and
thereafter all transcontinental railways
will sell cheap second-class tickets
from San Francisco and other Califor-
mia points to Chicago by way of all
gateways. Today, at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Western
Passenger associa ton, it developed that
the Santa Fe had agreed upon a spe-
cial basis of divisions with the Southern
Pacific by way of Mojave and Ell Paso.
The lines by way of Ogden, the most
direct route. thereupon decided to quote
the same rates. This will be done by
independent action and the new
charges probably will be in effect June
3. The second-class rate from San
Francisco to Chicago will be $3.50.

STATELINE PROGRESS.
Al Popkiss Is Making a Success at
the Creole Mine.

Stateline, Iron County, Utah, May 80
Sam Kenyon and DR.. G. H. Femme
more paid a visit to Stateline last week
and expressed themselves as being
| greatly surprised at the fine surface
showings, and predict a great future
for the camp. While here Mr.. Kenyon
and A. G.. Bast purchased the Central
group of claims from Messrs. Dodd and
Sutherland
Mr.. Courtney, formerly of Butte,
Mont, and a guest of A. G. Bast, is
still with us, and is giving Stateline a
thorough inspection, and so far Is very
much pleased with the outlook, and the
district, he claims, bids fair to become
great mining camp, but it needs cap
ital to do development work.
The Creole mine is looking well, and
is furnishing more ore than the mill
can handle. They still have. the eight
feet of ore in the face of the drift. The
winze is looking fine, so are the drifts
running at the bottom.
The mill is running steady day and
night. and Manager Popkiss and Fore
man w. T. Rich are much elated over
the success they have made in putting
the mill and mine on a paying basis.
The Goldbelt is being worked, and a
Wine has been started from the upper
to the lower tunnel.
NJ. Sullivan is at work again on the
Ofer, after having made a profitable
shipment of ore. The bottom of the
shaft is looking fine, and some rich ore
is being taken out.
Mr.. Fisher of Chicago has arrived,
and is a guest of A. Fopkiss. He is
looking over the camp. Mr.. Fisher is
Chicago capitalist and a man of great
mining experience, and his report on
Stateline viii be looked forward to
with great interest.
