GATES CROWD LOSES HEAVILY.
Attempt to Control Colorado Fuel
Very Expensive.

New York, Aug. 25.-The John W.
Gates crowd is said to have lost 3d.
100000 in his unsuccessful attempt to
secure control of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company.
When Gates began buying up. the
stock of the Colorado company it was
for the purpose of securing control
and then turning it over to the United
States Steel company at an advance
of few millions.
Owing to the opposition of Rober
e. Osgood, chairman of the board o.
directors of the Colorado company,
Gates was unable to secure control,
although he had 100000 shares of COM
mon stock. Now the stock is on the
toboggan, and Gates can't get out.

MES by contracting for their entire out
put of oil at price that will WELD no
profit
Thls gentleman shows a contract that
was offered his company by the Stand
ard representative, by which his company
was to sell to the other company from
LOO to 5000 barrels Of oil a month at
cents barrel. The oil was to be pump
ed from the wells by the selling company
and stored to the order Of the buyers III

lUO0 barrels capacity.
The gentleman who tells OF the con-
tract-and he has shown the contract
mat was offered him to a few of his
friends-refused to tie his company uD
IN SUCH manner. He declares that there
can be no profit in selling oil at 8 cents
d DarreI, and that for a company to OBJ
Lgate itself to do so is for It to agree
10 DO business at a loss. and finally to
WIND itself up. He believes that the
standard is making the move for the
plain purpose of forcing the smaller com
panles out of the field and to bring their
wells under Standard contract
