Santiago. The estimates for February
have been reduced from $4,000 to $30,-
600. and amounts aggregatng $4,000
expended last month have been disal-
lowed by the authorities at Havana.
General Leonard Wood. military gov

exactly one month ahead. and thinks
the best plan would be TO forward a
certain percentage to Havana every
month, the department commander
having the privilege of using the bal

under the present system 1t Is iinposs!-
BILE to run the government here. For
the month of March all expenditure for
the entire province must be kept within

Even those Cubans who nre most

COPPER SHELTER SOLD.

New York Syndicate Buys OF Colorado
Men.
Denver, March 3.-The Republican
says:
One of tile heaviest cash sales OF
mining and smelling property ever
made In the West was effected In New
York yesterday by ii. X. Wolcot, who
sold to New York company the Colo
RADIO Smelling and Mining Company $
plant at Butte, Montana. together with
all the mines owned by the company,
for cash consideration OF two and
half million dollars.
This sale Is of special interest In
Denver, MS the greater portion of the
capital stock Is held in this city. the
Colorado stockholders being \. +. Hill,
II. II. Woicott. +. o. Wolco.t. Richard
Pearcc and Henry Harrington. At the
time of the sale III. II. Wolcoit was the
heaviest individual stockhoidcr. A..
w. Clark of Montana was also stock
holder and director.
The present company was organized
November NJ, 1883, and succeeded the
Colorado and Montana Mining and
Smelling Company. which was organ
lied June 1, 1870. From the first or
ganization. of the company y. l.. Hill
has been its president and II. II. VOL
cott treasurer.
The sale illustrates the profits that
accrue to extensive mining operations
when conducted with due regard to
economy The cash capital of the COM
pnny when organized was 100000,
and not another dollar has been put in.
The ores OF Butte are low grade, sci
dom going higher than 6 per cent. cop
per. with correspondingiy low values
in silver. and yet the operations of the
company during the past twenty years
have not only paid handsome profit
to the stockholders, but have paid for
the development of the mining proper
ties, for the improvement of the
smelter and mill, and now. at the end
of twenty years, pays So for every
dollar of the original investment.
The new company WILL II is said,
largely increase the production - s1ou
as the necessary additions to the plant
are completed.
No information has been received
concerning the personnel Of the pur-
chasing company. Mr.. Wolcott has
been In New York for some time nego-
tiating the sale. the entire property
having been placed in his hands for
that purpose. He is expected home in
n few days.
