Der of deaths as a result of the war
with Spain was 2906. OF this number.
107 were officers At Santiago the loss
of life was % officers and 222 men At
Cardenas, one officer was killed. Since
the battles on Cuban soil, 81 men have
died of wounds received in service.
''The total number Of American SOL
diers that have died in camps from dis
ease are so officers and $3.50 privates.
This is remarkable in view of the terri
BILE climatic disadvantages, and it fully
verifies the soldiers adage that disease
kills more men than bullets. There
have been 600 claims for pensions filed
to date as a result of the war. In
the Cuban campaign the loss Of 80
many officers is accounted for by the
fact that Spanish sharpshooters hid in
the trees and dense foliage used smoke
less powder and picked off the officers
with ease"
Commissioner Evans says that the
loss OF life resulting from the destruc-
ton of the Maine in Havana harbor
will be placed on the same basis az
mortality In battle. He holds that the
general law providing for indemnity to
sailors and soldiers in the federal ser
vice will apply to the explosion at HA-
yana.

YELLOW PINE DEAL.
Boulder Countys Richest Silver Mine
About to be Sold.

Boulder County's Richest Silver Mine
About to be Sold.
T, A. Ricard. state geologist, is in
Boulder for the purpose of making an
examination of the Yellow Pine n.ine of
Sugar Loaf for the Venture company of
London which now holds an option on
the property from George R. William
son, its owner. The company, which is
also the purchaser of the Delano mill of
Boulder and Keklonga mine of Mag
uolia. made the deal through the agency
of the firm of Beckwitb. Burger & Turn
er. Boulder firm of mining promoters.
1t is proposed that the mine be thorough.
ly tested and examined by Mr.. Ricard
several weeks before the deal is finally
closed.
The Yellow Pine is one of the most
famous silver mines of the state though
its production of gold ore has been no
inconslderable item. The total produc.
tion of ore from the mine is placed at
over s3oo.eeo Itis ownedby George R.
Williamson, but has not been actively
worked since the drop IN the price Of
silver. 1t is worked entirely from tun.
nels, there being in all twelve driven on

miles of levels. There are large ore
bodies blocked out that have not yet
been stoped ano if the present deal is
closed it is probable that the Yellow Pine
will again take its rank among the big
producers of the county.
