COLUMBIA A WINNER.
TAKES THE FIRST CUP RACE.
In Spite Of Adverse Prophecies She Boats
the Shamrock At All Kinds of Sailing
Had y Good Wind.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE cup which
the old schooner America won so COM
mandingly against all comers over the
course around the Isle of Wight in 1851
and brought back across the seas, will
probably remain here another year, n
defiance to the world. In a glorious
breeze, over n windward and leeward
course of thirty miles, the Columbia
scored against the Shamrock to-day in
the first race of the 1899 series for the
trophy. She bounded across the finish
line fully mile and n half ahead of
the challenger, defeating her by ten
minutes and fourteen seconds actual
sailing time, or ten minutes and eight
seconds corrected time, after allowing
the six seconds handicap which Colum-
bia must concede to the challenger on
account of her longer water line.
1t was Il decisive contest, n magnifi-
cent race, magnificently sailed and
magnificently won. Opinion as to the
merits of the two boats had been some
what divided, as result of the fiukes
during the past two weeks. Although
the preponderance of expert opinion
never wavered in its loyalty to the
wonderful speed and ability of the
white flyer no nautical sharp expected
that the Shamrock would be so over
whelmingly vanquished as she was in
to-day's royal struggle. The Yankee
boat outgeneraled her at the start, beat
her hopelessly in windward work to
the outer mark and gained 30 seconds
In the run home before the wind.
There was good strong ten or
twelve knot breeze, and it held
throughout the race.
The result is undoubtedly bitter
blow. because the English hopes of lift
ing the cup have never been higher
since the Thistle met the Volunteer, in
1897

SOLDIERS AND INDIANS FIGHT.
Serious Race Feud ut Pima, Arizona, Il

Serious Race Feud 1T Pima, Arizona. Il
Reported.
Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Pima, Arizona, via
Bowie, says:
Last night Mt midnight a band Of
colored soldiers of Company G, Twen-
ty-fifth infantry. now stationed at San
Carlos reservation, disguised them
selves as Indians and, slipping upon a
band of Apaches, camped near the
post, attacked them with clubs and
bayonets, precipitating n pitched bat
tie.
The Indians thus suddenly aroused,
made brave resistance. but were lit
orally beaten down with clubs until
many We're seriously injured and a
later dispatch says that four are dead.
The survivors fed to the mountains.
An alarm was sounded at the post,
but the majority of the soldiers es-
capped without detection. Strenuous eff
forts are being made by the authorities
to find the assailants. The garrison is
under arms. The attack was caused
by the increasing intimacy of some of
the negroes with Apache women, with
whom they have become infatuated
and attempted to abduct two.
The Indians retaliated by mutilating
negro soldier in n peculiarly
atrocious Indian style, and the attack
followed.
The situation is grave. as the Indians
are aroused to frenzy and are gather
ing. A general uprising is threatened
and the agents fear trouble. 1t is
feared that the rites at the burial of
the dead will incite the survivors to
attack the whites. A detachment of
the Twenty-fifth infantry, stationed
here. is ready to be sent to the aid of
the San Carlos garrison is necessary.

1T TAKES MONEY TO MINE.
Great Number of Good Prospects That

Great Number Of Good Prospects That
Call for Capital for Development.
In the good old days of placer mining
man with pick, pan, shovel and a
rocker or n single sluice box was fully
equipped to tackle any from grass
roots to bedrock" pay dirt where wat
er was handy. A few dollars secured
the outfit and with u little grub and a
dirt-roofed log cabin the Old-time min
er was as much at home in his sur
roundings as the manager of heavily
capitalized quartz mine is to-day in
his expensive and, in come instances.
luxuriously furnished apartments. But
conditions have greatly changed since
the early-day mining. 1t takes money
to carry on any mining proposition
now.
The first cost of n mine, that Is a
thoroughly developed gold or copper or
lead proposition, is nothing but mere
bagatelle to the expenditures which ne
cessarily follow to put it upon a pro-
ducing basis. A shaft house. black
smith shop, engine and boiler rooms
must be built; hOisting and stationary
pumps, machinery and many other
costly appliances must be provided,
and they all cost money-big money. so
much, indeed, that II poor man cannot
vi opShlhS liS pioDSItHs "A GULF
hne of capital and Il syndicate of capi-
talists seem to be the prerequisite to
success in mining nowadays, for it
takes money to mine.
MIXING has been carried on in Califor-
mia for half century. In that time
the state has produced nearly S1.5OO.-
100000. The estimated figures are ST.
30O.OOO,OOO, but no account is taken of
gold carried away by owners in belts.
sacks, drafts and inside pockets. The
aggregate thus taken from the state
will easily bring the total up. to the bill
lion and n half mark. Yet notwith-
standing the enormous quantity of gold
California has thrown into the chances
of the worlds commerce. it is estimat-
ed that the state has 1900 good min
ing propositions in an undeveloped
condition for want of capital to work
them. 1t is not that capital is afraid
of them. but because about all the
specializing money in the state is al
ready employed and cannot be used in
other directions.
Colorado is credited with 15,OOO,O 600
undevelOped mining propositions
which cannot be touched for want of
capital, still no one can truthfully
charge the moned men of that state
with want of faith in its mines. Their
money is tled up In other mining prop
critics and the others must remain idle
until more convenient season. Mon-
tana. Utah, Idaho. Washington and
Oregon, each has its thousands of un-
developed mines. for the reason that
capital cannot be had to work them.
1t takes a pretty penny to put the
best of mines on a dividend-pay
basis. and those pennies are scarce and
hard to get hold Of when SO many of
them are invested. already. in good
paying propositions. But 1t goes with
out saying that as fast as owners of
paying mines can earn and command
the price" they take their chances in
other mining properties. But 1t takes
money to mine in this day and genera

ALONG THE COLORADO SOUTH
ERIN.
A Great Deal of New Machinery Going
In,

-~---
In.
The Rio Grande Southern is taking
large quantity of machinery into the
Paradox country and along the Dolores
river. The officials expect general
revival Of the mining industry in those
sections. The Western Electric Com
pany has shipped to owners Of the big
placer 100 miles from Placerville, 200
tons of hydraulic machinery. The
placer has been idle for ten years be-
cause of litigation. but the new ma
chinery is expected to reach Denver to-
day and will be hurried to the nearest
railroad station to the old works 1t
will be necessary to haul the machin.
cry overland 100 miles, but teams are
ready so that in few weeks the
works can be going at full capacity.
The railroad has just received word
from owners Of the large properties in
the Paradox valley that as soon as the
new machinery can be put in the mines
of the La Sal Copper Mining Company
that business will take on another and
fresh impetus. The rich find in copper
and silver has been worked as far as
possible without machinery to supply
fresh air. The men are unable to work
in the mine until this machinery IL put
in. 1t is now being manufactured on
n special order after laboratory test
which showed lixivation works to be
the best method of reduction. This ore
runs from 40 to so per cent. copper and
400 ounces Of silver to the ton. 1t has
heretofore been hauled In wagons to
the railroad. eighteen miles away. and
will henceforth be treated on the
ground.
At other points on the Rio Grande
Southern there IL much Improvement

insure heavy Increase In business for
this year. The Smuggler- Union mill at
Telluride IL nearly completed, the ca
pacity being increased to 25O tons at n
cost Of $2O0,OOO. At the Liberty Bell

MINING MENTI On.

I, Along the same ridge there are three
cones, all Of which may be styled
bald headed" hill. For a space Of Mt
least sixty feet wide, clear track
runs through the densely forested Sec
ton. on which no tree and not even
anything else but the sparest vegeta-
ton grows. The cause Of this denuda-
tion can be seen whenever thunder
storm arises. AS long as there is any
electricity in the atmosphere, the
thunder bolts play like heavenly can
noneers upon this belt which is struck
again and again in rapid succession.
The copper vein here is such strong
conductor that it seems to concenter
all the electricity in the expenditure of
its violence. This conducting power of
the metal. here demonstrated by Ma
ture herself, is however also the very
reason why copper just now is in such
great demand and will be, more and
more, as the power of electricity is
more and more utilized.-Mining Re
