Many ships used in inter-island COM

Mining Notes.

Several of the new mining districts
of the state are discussing the pro-
priety of putting limitations on the

fore II n gravel deposit forty feet thick

miles long. The elevator will handle

The Tom Boy mine Mt Telluride Is

pendent of the smelter strike. as II has
storage facilities for it's concentrates
sufficient to last seven or eight months.
while the gold saved on the plates suf-
fees to pay all the expenses Of opera
tion.
An important fact in connection with
the present status of affairs in Lead
vile, says the Hernld-Democrat. Is the
large amount of development work
which Is going ahead. Attention was
called to the fact II few days ago that
not n single mine In the district had
completely shut down as n result Of
the labor trouble mt the smelters. On
the contrary Il great many miners who
have been brenking ore have been
placed on dead work. and ms II result

more development than usual.

Big Company to Control rexar Rancl

Big Company to Control Texas Ranches.
Fort Worth. Texas, June 25.-George
Il. Loving, who is at the head OF the
great deal having for its object the for
nation of n gigantic cattle and ranch
company in Texas. in IN interview to-
night, said that the company will be
an American organization, composed
of New York capitalists, and not Eng
lishmen, as reported.
The intention is to form a company
with $40.000,000 capital. % or 30 mil
lions of which are to be used in the
purchase of cattle and ranch property
in this state, the balance of the capital
stock to be used in operating the big
concern. 1t is believed the business
can be more successfully conducted
and at less expense under single man
agement.
For the past two months parties rep
resenting Mr.. Loving have taken OPP
tions on cattle and ranches to the
amount of S20,0OO,000. These options
expire July ], but it is understood that
If necessary they can be renewed. No
doubt Is expressed that the big deal
will be consummated, for the prices to
be paid are fair
Mr.. Loving says that there is no in
tention to form cattle trust, merely
an effort to conduct an extensive cattle
business, the largest in the world.
There are 6.00O.000 cattle in Texas, val
ued at $120,000000. Mr.. Loving says
there Is no intention to disregard the
antitrust laws of the state and rhat
the organization of the company is
nothing more than an immense cattle
transaction.

coLUMeIA's FAST TRIAL.
New American Yacht Beats the Old De-
fender Easily.

Newport. r. l., June 2I-The first
trial of the new American cup defender
Columbia in Narragnnsett bay to-day
was more successful than either her
builders or her owners had reason to
hope. Not only did the new boat
show herself to be able in every par
ticular, but she met the old racer. De-
fender, in n friendly brush of mile
TO windward and vanquished her with
the greatest ease. The race between
the flyers, which was over in five min
utes. was sailed in an eight-knot breeze
under the same conditions, each boat
carrying three lower sails with sheet
well flattened. 1t took the Columbia
about three minutes. sailing from the
Defenders weather quarter. to blanket
her, and in five minutes she was 100
yards ahead. going past the old cup
defender rs If the latter were anchored.
Under these circumstances 1t would
seem that the Columbia were from fif-
teen to twenty seconds per mile faster
than the Defender, and If she can
make the same gain in hard blow
the fears for the safety of the Ameri-
cas- cup will be considerably lessened
