MAY BE A CAPITAL BATTLE.
Scheme to Get Control of the
BurIinston---Spirit of Discon-
tent is Quite Evident.

New York, Feb. 25-Now comes the
possibility OF a Burlington deal, as sue
cessor to the lamented st. Paul fasco.
According to the latest rumor, those
Northern Pacific Great Northern inter
ests whose great desire it is to do some
thing which will apparently strengthen,
yet weaken the position OF their Erie
property and whose scheme for the ac-
QUESTION of the st. Paul road WAS rude
ly shattered by their friendly foes, have
now cast their eyes upon the Burlington
system as likely link for their dreamed
OF railroad chain.
Thi. is pretty and possible scheme
just as was that involving tho st. Paul
road. There is reason to believe that it
has been thoroughly discussed and that
some of the larger Burlington share
holders have been ap. reached with a
roposition Of some sort.
Wall street, however, took it for
granted that the retirement Of President
Perkins indicated the accomplishment
OF the whole project, and in its usual
fashion, plunged in to buy Burlington
stock with entirely unwarranted haste.
1t should be appreciated that further
deals between western and southwestern
railroads are inevitable. What has been
accomplished by some interests makes it
absolutely necessary that others for
self f-preservation, shall strengthen them
selves.
The concentration of control that has
gone on is very we'll for such prosperous
times az these, but the theory that it
means harmony and peace and brotherly
love forever is foolish one.
The fighting has not been ended be-
cause alliances have diminished the
number OF com batants.
Railroad battles OF the future will be
between the giants who are now acquir-
ing their strength.
Already some mutterings OF discomfort
are heard. Far seeing railroad fnanciers
both in and out of the big combinations
arc keenly alive to the necessity OF
strengthening alliances.
The exodus of prominent Wall street
mon that has taken place Of late has fur
nished material for all sorts Of arguments
as to the attitude of the larger interests
toward the stock market.

Publishers Combination.

Chicago, Feb. 25-Leading publishers
of the country have at last reached a
definite agreement upon the question Of
preventing demoralizing cuts in book
prices, and their plan is to become oper-
ative on copyright books published after

been agitating this matter since early
last summer and the report OF it's special
committee, presenting plan for reform
which is comprehensive and far-reach-
ing, has just been adopted and the sig
natures of all the leading published OBJ
tanned to the agreement.
This agreement includes . reduction of
25 per cent. in the price of copyright
books. Retail dealers will be protected
from competition with publishers by the
latter agreeing to sell their own publica-
tions at retril prices. To enforce the re-
forms. the publishers have agreed to
these dealers who will maintain the net
prices and central offices are to be estab
lished by the association to carry out its
plans.

Copper on the Western Slope.

Iue recent ulbCOVeFy CI d oIrOnR vein
OF copper ore in the Dominquez canan,
bstween Delta and Grand Junction,
bears more indications OF genuineness
than many other stories OF mineral dis
coveries in new localities.
The locality is close to the Gunuison
river. about twenty miles from Delta End
about thirty from Grand Junction
Dominquez canon comes down from the
north eastern slope Of the Uncompahgre
plateau, and 1T heads not very great
distance from the Unaweep canon, where
some time ago discoveries were made.
The formation is Of the same general
character throughout that part OF the
state, and copper bearing ore has been
found in several different places.
The new discovery would be all the
more important il it should prove in
other respects valuable, becsuee of its
proximity to the railroad and to several
we'll settled communities. Being only
five miles from the track OF the Denver
& Rio Grande road, it would be an easy
matter to supply any camp that might
be started there with all the necessaries
OF life, and proximity to the valleys of
which Montrose, Delta and Grand juno
ton are centers would make the cost OF
grain and other farm products compare
lively small.
The public will watch with interest
future reports from the locality OF this
strike, for the fact that community OF
some two hundred people has been col
lected there indicates that the showing
is good. 1t will not take long to deter
mine the real character of the district,
for development will be easy and there is
no obstacle on account Of altitude or
distance from the railroad to prevent
development Of claims with tho use Of
machinery at rapid rate. The climate
is favorable for work at this season Of the
year, and if there is plenty OF good ore it
should be brought to light in a short
time.
The great demand for copper in this
country and Europe makes a discovery
OF that metal far moro valuable and i'm
portant than it would have been consid-
| cred few years ago. Until very re-
| Gently prospectors and miners in this
state made no effort to find copper de-
posits although in Montana and Arizona
great progress in copper production was
made. But the high price of the metal
and it's scarcity in the market have stim-
ulated prospecting, and several encour-
aging reports Of its existence have been
received and published.
Undoubtedly one OF tho most promis-
ing localities in respect to copper dis.
coveries is that part Of the state which
lies close to the Utah line, southwest OF
Grand Junction and directly west of
Dslta. 1t resembles mineralized
region in Utah where copper has been
discovered and with which it seems to
be geologically connected. 1t is within
| this region that the recent strike in
Domidquez canon was made, which gives
all the more reason for believing in it's
genuineness. Tho inhabitants Of that
part of Colorado can do themselves and
the state no better service than to de-
velop as far as possible those copper
deposits.-Denver Republican.

 Floy Kinds, daughter of Postmaster J. B.
 Kinds. has been appointed postmistress
 in her fathers place. The appointment
 was made at the instance of Captain Hinds' bondsmen. The report of Captain Hinds' shortage yesterday was slightly in error in the statement that the short age would be made good by his bonds men.

This was satisfactory to the in- spectors, and Miss Kinds was placed in charge of the office by them. Several petitions are being literally signed to have Miss Hinds retained permanently.
