DELANO MILL SOLD.
Venture Corporation of London Reported
to Have Acquired the Property.

to Have Acquired the Property.
The Delano mill at the mouth of Boul-
der canon and the famous Kekionga
mine at Magnolia according to the Den
ver Republican, were sold yesterday to
the Venture Corporation, a London cor
poration represented by State Geologist
]. A. Rickard. 1t has been known in
Boulder that such deal has been pend.
ins for several weeks, but the item this
morning was the first intimation that the
end of the deal was near at hand.
The properties included in the deal
are both we'll known in Boulder. The
Delano mill was constructed year ago
by Hartford, Connecticut, syndicate.
The company carried out their intentions
and constructed first class plant and
were equipped to treat by chlorlnation
fifty tons of ore a day. They relied
largely upon the output of the Lady
Franklin mine at Magnolia to supply the
mill, but this proved inadequate and they
were compelled to supplement with Gus.
tom ore. Not having made complete ar.
rangements originally for custom ore,
some difficulty was encountered and the
mill was finally compelled to shut down.
The new concern it is stated expect to
supplement from the outset the output of
the Kekionga mine with custom ore and
come prepared for that arrangement. OF
the mine the Republican article says:
"The Kekionga nine IS an old prop
erty, lying just outside the Magnolia dis
trict, that has produced large amount
Of ore from the upper workings, and is
developed to a depth of 900 feet. with
levels extending from 800 to 400 feet on
each side of the incline. The ore is a
telluride, chiefly sylvanite. and the ore
body has an average width of two feet,
the vein in the lower workings being
fully three and one.half feet wide and
running from one to one and one halt
ounces per ton. The ore body is very
regular and Mr.. Rickard is satisfied that
it will prove valuable property.
"The mill and mine will start up on
Sept, /, under the management Of H. A.
Shipman, who has been for some time
manager of the Cornucopia mine of Bak-
er City. Oregon, owned by President
SearleS. of the sugar trust. Mr.. Ship
man will be in Colorado in few days
and will. accompanied by Mr.. Rickard.
make tour of the Boulder county min.
ing districts with the view of securing
contracts for a supply of such ores as
can be more tavorably treated at the
mill, any lack of the full capacity of the
works to be supplied from the Kekionga
mine."
Mr.. Reckwith. who in conjunction with
Messrs Burger and Turner negotiated
the deal from the Boulder end, confirmed
the story of the sale here today.

With the practical certainty that the

they will be nearer home.

AFTER THE SURRENDER
SPANS First Step TO AIIay
Internal Excitement.
SURRENDER NOT COMPLETE
Will Try to Arrange With Cuba 10
Pay the Cuban DEBIT

Madrid, Aug 12.-The question Of accept
ance of the protocol having been finally
settled and its signature explicitly and deti-
nitely authorized the government Is now
considering the domestic situation for the
best means of allaying the excitement and
propagating the idea that spans surren-
der is not SO complete as indicated by the
bald terms of the protocol.
As the first step in this direction semi
official note has been issued. It Is as fol-
lows:
'"The government is of opinion that the
most critical period of the peace negotia-
tions has now arrived as it depends upon
the arrangement of the details as to wheth-
er the peace will be more or less advan-
tageous. Spain wishes to preserve her SOW
ereignty over the whole of the Philippines
TO which she proposes to accord all polti-
cal and administrative reforms consistent
with the maintenance of her sovereignty.
In regard to the evacuation of Cuba
and Porto Rico, 1t will be asked that the
army be allowed to depart honorably and
that assurances be given guaranteeing
Spanish and foreign interests will not suf-
fer The army, which has not been con-
quered, will return to Spain with its guns,
arms and ammunitions.
In regard to the Cuban debt as the
United States refuses to assume it, Spain
will endesvor to arrange with the Cuban
treasury to pay 1t when the island is able
'"The question of a treaty of commerce
will lead to considerable discussion and
the matter will be submitted to diplomats
under the presidency Of Senor Castillo"
Madrid Aug. 12.-Midnisht.-The proto-
col viii be published simultaneously in the
Official Gazette here and in Washington.
The papers discuss the situation quietly
and great relief is felt in government and
court circles that President Mckinley had
not demanded a convocatlon of the Cortes
to approve the peace preliminaries. The
Cortes will now not be summoned until au-
tumn, by which time 1t is expected that
the agitation of the extremists VIII have
cooled down and the country have become
more inclined to accept accomplished facts.
Senior Sagasta has again assured the
Queen Regent that he does not fear Car
list trouble, and the Carlists themselves
appear to recognize that the country is
not in the temper that would support a
Carlist rising.

er says, referring to newspaper reports
concerning Gen. Shafter:
II think the criticisms upon Gen. Shat

task and has performed il successfully
and well. He Is a man of more than or
binary brain power and administra tive
ability The criticism that he did not
place himself on the firing line Is ridicu-
lous, as on July he was carrying on two
fights at the same time-one at Caney
and one at San Juan-he had some re-
serves and had to place himself where he
could see both fights and manage the
whole affair. which he did efficiently
