MINING TROUBLES.
The Cochiti Gold Mining Company
the Hands Of a Receiver.
WILLIAM SPENCER APPOINTED.

Last Saturday. at Santa Fe. applica-
ton was maze to Judge j. X. McFie
for appointment of a receiver to take
charge of the assets of the Cochiti
Gold Mining company, at Albemarle.
this county.
The petition was made to Judge Nc
File, owing to the absence of Judge
Baker from the territory.
The application was made in behalf
of the employees of the company, who
were represented by Raymond p. Rip
ley and T. p. Wilson, their action being
joined in by a number of the directors
of the company, the petitioners alleg.
ing that the mines are being worked
and the mill running at a loss, the
company being unable to meet the IN
~debtedness TO employees and others,
the sum total aggregating a large
amount, and that unless O receiver
should be appointed heavy losses
would be sustained by all creditors and
holders of stock in the company, in
whose behalf action was taken.
The petition was granted by the
judge, who appointed William Spencer
as receiver, fixing his bond at SIS, 900.
Arrangements have today been made
by which the employees will all be paid
in full! and without delay; other credit
ors will be settled with and the com
pany probably be r~eorganized soon as
affairs can be so shaped as to allow
such course to be taken. That no effort
will be spared to put the company IN
it's feet, is an assured fact, as the men
who have the company's affairs in
hand are progressive and enterprising,
their embarrassment being only tenn
porary and from which they may con-
idently be expected to speedily recoup.
The Cochiti Gold Mining company
has expended many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the Cochiti district,
employing a large force of men, and it
would be the source of general regret
throughout this section, should they
prove unable to overcome their pres
ent difficulties.
Messrs. Edward A. Adler and Charles
ID. Coram, of Boston, have been in
New Mexico some time in connection
with affairs of the company, in which
both gentlemen are heavily interested.

A Terrific Rainstorm Causes Great
Damage In Kentucky.
HALF 4 DOZEN LIVES REPORTED LOST

ington Twenty Feet Deep In Places
Two Million Dollars of Damage Done
In Cincinnati Alone.

Cincinnati, May 21.-Shortly after
II o'clock yesterday this locality was
stricken by terrific wind and rain
storm, causing the loss of half a
dozen lives and injuring many. The
fury of the storm continued only
half an hour, but in that time over
100000 of damage was done in the
business section of Cincinnati and as
much more in other parts of the city
and suburbs. Prior to the unprece-
denied falling Of rain, dense clouds
were seen to the south and the city
became as dark as night. 1t was
afterward learned that there had
been a terrific waterspout on the
Lewisburg hills, in the southern sub
urbs of Covington, Ky, and it moved
over the Kentucky suburbs into this
city, passing up the Miami valley
and causing damage as far away as
Dayton, O.
While storm damages are reported
throughout Kentucky, the worst
point seems to have been in Coving-
ton. The water rolled down the hills
in wave Of 20 feet deep in places
and was about 100 yards wide. The
frame house Of Edward Wohrley was
carried for a distance of over four
blocks and finally was dashed to
pieces in the Covington ball grounds.
The house was occupied by four fam
ilies-Henry Willen and wife and
