RICO at
THE FRONT
Gigantic Consolidation Deal
Brings Dolores Mountain
Mines Under One
Management with Five Mil
lions Capital and a Big
Working Fund.

Rico will shoot up like skyrocket
and stay up now. One of the most
gigantic mining deals which has been
made in Colorado for years has just
been contaminated in Denver. which
brings all the properties of Newman
hill and Dolores mountain under the
management of one company, and
, some Of our neighbors are feeling pre-
ty good about it. Only last July Mr..
A. B. Roeder and a party of friends
came down to the San Juan looking
for mining investment. They fail
ed to find anything big enough which
was ready for deal Mr.. Roeder let
his friends return and he went to RI
co to bring about the deal which has
just been consummated There were
very many things to do to bring the
several big companies and smaller
interests together.
The properties of the Newman sym
dicate. the Enterprise group and the
Rico-Aspen are chief of the holdings
of the new company. In these there
are miles Of underground workings
and there will be miles more for fur
ther development and production.
The capital stock Of the new COM
pany is said to be i've million dol
lars, three millions Of witch will be
set aside Tor ,de14erlSe1t This
capital should be ample to consum-
mate the comprehensive plans form
ulated by Mr.. Roeder. The Herald
Is not advised as to the details of
these plans, but It has been under
stood that they include a milling en-
terprise on a large scale, and there
being vast quantities Of milling ore
the values of which must be recover
ed. Greater depth from the present
lower levels on the mineralized zones
Of Dolores mountain will be obtain
ed by sinking.
Rico will at once be the scene of
greater mining activity and will no
doubt recover the glory of its best
days In the early nineties, when
among other evidences of prosperity
variety show there could count as
its receipts for one night $250O, the
silver being carried away In ore sacks.
We are not unmindful that Duran
go is to enjoy benefits from the big
deal which has been made at Rico.
The local smelter will ere long re-
ceive largely increased tonnage of
ore and concentrates from that dis
trict. Like 1t is with Denver to the
state, SO it Is with Durango to the
San Juan. No good can come which
Durango shall not share.

WEPT BITTER TEARS

BY Associated Press:
Santa CRUZ, Luzon, June 24.-Gen-
eral Cailles with $50 men surrendered
yesterday and took the oath of alle-
glance to the United States.
General Cailles entered Santa
CRUZ to the music of native bands.
The column passed in review before
the United States army headquarters
with arms at port and returned to the
enclosure where they surrendered the
rifles and received receipts emitting
them to thirty pesos each. All the re-
ceipts were deposited in the hats Of
Cables, and officers and General Gail
les insisted that the arms were not
being sold, but belonged to the revolu-
tionary government and that the pro-
ceeds must go to the widows and or
phans. During the surrender Of arms
Cailles and his staff wept Frank Me-
kin, deserter Of the Seventh infant
ry, who has been acting as a lieuten-
ant with the insurgents under Cailles,
and who surrendered today, was plac-
ed in irons.
