Eight years old, and yet bow little is
definitely known of the wealth which
lies buried beneath the mountains in
the Cochiti district! Strange as it may
seem, large capital invested in some of
| the properties here lies entirely DOR
mant. when with so small an addition
al expenditure in development such
| large compensation is an assured fact.
| The Lone Star, With it's known riches,
is making no attempt whatever even to
meet it's monthly expenditures which
| slowly but surely are sapping at the
; confidence which the stockholders of
| the company must have had in the
property. One would naturally expect
differently from the people who own
the Washington, as they are New Mex
leo people, but the same non-doing dill
atory apathy seems to exist as to this
property although the owners undoubt-
edly desire the enjoyment of some of
the benefits that might be obtained
from working the mine.
A fine strike Of high grade ore was
made last week by j. D. May on the

prosperity is certain to come sooner or
later.

CORN SPECULAT0RS ARE STAMPEDED.
The Bears Had the Whip Hand and Drove the Bulls From
The Support Of the July Corner.

Chicago, July 15.-The corn specu-
lators stampeded Immediately upon the
opening of the board Of trade today.
The bears had the whip hand and drove
the bulls from the support of the so
called July corner so sharply that prices
OF July corn broke 10 cents in the first
hour of trade, dropping to 70. Less
than fortnight ago the price was 90
cents and the opinion is general that the
much feared corner has been broken.
Some of the supposedly knowing ones
intimated however, that John w. Gates
and his bull crowd still had some cards
to play.
A FURTHER DROP.
Chicago, July 15.-July took further
dip to 67 before noon. This is 10 cents
under yesterdays high price.
July corn continued to break during
all OF the session. Shortly. before noon
654 was the low price reached, The
market closed at 6515; having lost 15N
cents today and 201a since yesterdays
high price. 9a :
a9 THE CORNER BROKEN.
Chicago. July 15.-Gcneral Manager
Scotten, of the Harris-Gates Company.
made statement to the Evening Post
that shortly before the closing hours to-
day settlement was made with the shorts
of July corn and his firm had no further
interest in supporting the prices. This
virtually ends the July corner.

Newark, N. j., July 15.-The answer
of the United States Steel corporation
tn the suit designed to prevent the
s20C 200, 0GO bond conversion plan was

THE BIG STRIKE
AT CHICAGO.
: Eight Hundred Policemen Are Held in Reserve
TO Be Ready in Case Of Serious
Trouble.
THE SITUATION IS SERIOUS
The Merchants Who Are Losing a Million Dollars Every
Day Are Determined to Crush the Teansters' Union
Unless the Sympathetic Strike Is Called Off
The State Board Resumes Its Efforts

Chicago, July 15.-Eight hundred po-
icemen are O'in reserve in TIE d. wn
town stations or railroad warehouses
this morning in anticipation of a possi-
BILE attempt to raise the embargo OH
the freight occasioned by the freight
handlers strike and the sympathetic
walkout of the teamsters. The situa-
ton is regarded even more serious than
yesterday, as the failure of the confer
ences that are scheduled for today is
believed to mean to the merchants,
who are suffering over a million dollars
loss every day of the strike, that they
would assume determined attitude.
At the meetings held yesterday of
houses in different lines of business,
but especially those handling perisha-
BILE goods, they declared their intention
of manning their trucks and attempt
ing to take their freight from the ware
houses and railroads. After a meeting
of the teamsters last night, when it
was arranged that the freight handlers
should make one last proposition to
the managers, the merchants changed
their plans of action to await the re-
suit of the conferences. Few express
the hope that these meetings would re-
suit in peace. The men We're instructed
among other things to demand II 1-2c
an hour for the truckers and on this
point the railroads have taken decid-
ed stand. Secretary Driscoll of the
Team Owners Association is Quilted
as saying that eight of the railroads
are willing to pay II 1-2c. but this be-
ing true, there would remain IS still
pledged to pay no more than tic. 1t is
said that one wholesaler said this morn
ing: I'VE are waiting the results of to-
days conferences. Should they fail
then there will be a fight to the finish
We have got to do business even if the
militia has to be called OUT
Others expressed themselves in a.
similar vein. One man said the fight
will be to completely crush the teams
ters' union. This union, he said, has
broken their contract made only few
weeks ago and as it could not be re-
lied on to keep a contract, nothing re-
mained but to crush it, if it persisted
In staying out in violation of their
agreements. A full membership of the
state board of arbitration held meet
ing this morning, at which it was
planned to resume active efforts to-
ward conciliation, as directed by Gov
ernor Yates yesterday. The contin-
uance of the strike threatens to tie up
the building operations of the city.
A COMPROMISE REFUSED.
Chicago, July 15.-The faint hope of
the settlement Of the freight handlers
strike that was entertained this fore
noon was dashed shortly after noon
when President Curran received word
that the Erie and Santa Fe roads refused
to entertain the compromise proposed
and the petitions presented by the COM
mittee OF strikers. The Northwestern,
Wabash and Wisconsin Central roads
told the committee to return later in

A TRAGEDY
ON THE LAKE
Two Persons Pershsd in Lake Michigan and
Eight Others Fought for Hours for
Their Lives.
A YACHT WAS CAPS|zED
The Heroic and Successful Efforts of the Men TO Save
tho Women Occupants Of the Boat-Lake Michigan
Was Lashed by a Storm When the Accident
0ccuned-Two Young Men We're Lost

Chicago, July 15.--Two persons per-
ished in the lake last night and eight
others fought for hours for life, cling
ing to the overturned yacht, Arab ",
owned by John Fl. Cameron, cashier of
the National Bank of the Republic. The
dead are: Larry Taylor, 16 years old;
Harry Jensen, II years old. When the
storm struck the yacht, with all the
canvas flying, it went over like flash
and filled instantly and left eight per-
sons struggling for their life in the wa
ters of the lake. three miles from
shore. The predicament was given ad-
ded terror by the fury of the waters,
lashed by the storm and the constant
lightning. BY heroic efforts the men
supported the women in the water until
they We're given hold of the overturned
boat. The yacht as it left it's moorings
towed along a small yaw1. This was
dragged under and filled with water
but the boatmen finally righted the
yawl and got all but Cameron and
Barber and the two drowned persons
into it, and started for the long row to
the shore in the face of choppy sea
and a strong wind. Toward midnight
the heavily laden row boat came creep
ing up to the landing with the women
in a state of collapse and the crew so
exhausted that they could hardly move
the oars. The life saving crew went to
the yacht and found Cameron and
Barber nearly exhausted and about to
drop from the boat. The bodies of the
two young persons drowned were
found in the cabin of the yacht when
it was towed to the flarbor this morn
ing. Presumably, when the storm
broke they We're unable to eXtricate
themselves
