New York. Feb. 16.-A temporary in.
junction was served to-day on the officers
OF the Smelling and Refining company,

extent OF S10,OO0,000 on basis OF 10
per cent for preferred and 80 per cent

chase would establish a monopoly in the
business OF smelling and refining gold

COAL AT SAN ANTONIO.
rhe Colorado Fuel and Iron Company win
Work Coal Beds.

An official OF the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company announces that the re-
suits OF the company's search for coal
near San Antonio, Socorro county, have
been eminently satisfactory. Drilling
has been going on for some time, and
the investigators are satisfied that coal
exists in sufficient quantities to warrant
the establishment OF extensive works
One vein is fully four feet In width
From all Indications the supply OF coal
in the field IL inexhaustible. What IL
Of the greatest importance Is that the
coal proves to be OF excellent coking
quality. There is not at the present time
II single ton Of coking coal to be obtained
in the territory. The small vein at Mad.
rid has entirely run out, and the exten.
sive works of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company at that place are oper-
ated by means OF coal brought from Col
orado The demand for coal and coke
in Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico is
very great. The fields are only six
miles from the Santa Fe railway, ant
the intention OF the company is to build
a branch TO connect with that road at
San Antonio. The company will begin
actual mining at once, putting ON teams
to haul coal to the station until the
branch can be constructed.
