CATTLE DIE OF
COLD AND THIRST

Denver, Nov. 25.-It is stated by Of
f1cers of the Humane society that II
It had not been for the snowstorm OF
few days ago nearly 800 cattle would
have perished on the range near Sugar
City for lack Of water. The cattle were
nearly dead from thirst when the snow
fell, and since the storm the animals
have been eating snow out OF the hol-
lows and other places where 1t has not
melted
Several days ago the State Humane
society was notified that cattle were
diving on the range near Sugar City
because Of the scarcity Of water, and
H. B. Kerr, special agent OF the so
ciety, went to Sugar City to invesu-
gate. About three miles east OF the
town, and two miles north. he found a
body Of water known as Minnis lake.
which had been fenced in. Fully 1900
cattle were around the fence trying to
get to the water. Seven animals were
dead, and many were weak and in bad
condition.
The owners of the lake, which is
really . reservoir, had right to fence
it in, and no blame attaches to them.
Mr.. Kerr notified the owners of the
cattle that they would be held respon-
eible for the proper care of the ami
mails, and that they must have range
where they could get water. There is
water about eight miles from the reser-
voir, but the cattle had learned to go
to the reservoir. and could not be
trained to 60 to the other place.
The reservoir was fenced in In Sep
tember and some Of the cattle have
been without water since that time.
The storm, which saved many OF the
cattle, brought death to others. Along
the Missouri Pacific road not far from
Sugar City, Mr.. Kerr found where 27O
cattle had been buried. The animals
got into deep snow drifts near the fence
along the road and perished. The COM
pany had the carcasses buried because
of the stencil which arose when de-
composition set in.

Denver, Nov. 25.-The News sums
up the proceedings of the coroner's
jury at Victor yesterday as follows:
At the inquest into the explosion that
partially destroyed the Vindicator
mine the fact was established that
an Internal machine was used. The
names of the men who are alleged to
be inculpated in the crime were not
divulged, and Coroner Doran ad-
journed the further hearing of testi-
mony until Friday morning. The ad-
journment came as surprise to ma
jority of the audience. but as no ex-
,planation was vouchsafed it was ac-
cepted that the coroner had good rea-
sons for taking more time for the In
vestigation.

There can be no question of the trong desire among influential repub- jeans in Ohio, New York and elsewhere have Senator Hanna enter the lists opposition to Theodore Roosevelt for he presidential nomination. From indianapolis comes the report of per istent and growing movement to side rack Roosevelt and alleging that New fork financial interests are doing what hey can to encourage the revolt. However, we give Mark Hanna credit or being too shrewd a politician to anction any serious attempt to place i'm in the field as a presidential can .idate, knowing, as he must, that op- 'osition to the administration, even hough it resulted in his securing the omination, would divide the republi- an party and probably bring defeat in he election next fall The rank and le of the republican party throughout he country are loyal to the president nd that he will be renominated hardly dmits of doubt.

THE OLD DOMINION INJUNCTION

It will be no great surprise to readers of the SILVER BELT to learn that in junction proceedings have been brought to restrain the Old Dominion manage ment from carrying into effect the plan of consolidation Mith the United Globe
 Mines, as the probability of such action on the part of the opposing faction was foreshadowed in our special Boston adYices more than a month ago.
 The fact that the individual institu- ting the injunction proceedings repre- sents only seven hundred shares as against upwards of one hundred and thirty thousand shares deposited to ratify the agreement, shows very plain ly how insignificant the opposition lead
 by Mir. Fitzgerald really Is, and these obstructionists, when the ease comes up for hearing, will have their mis- representation of facts in regard to the the value of the United Globe proper ties fully exposed and will learn that the business of courts is not to inter- fere with the consummation and oper- ation of great enterprises, or to further the selfish schemes of few individuals in opposition to the wishes and inter ests of thousands of stockholders, rep. resenting an overwhelming majority of the capital stock.
 Neither the Old Dominion nor the United Globe management has any reason whatever to fear the result of the legal inquiry. In fact, a full in- yestigation of the negotiations and plan of consolidation is desirable and no doubt would be courted were it not for the delay it will occasion, and for the further reason that the opposition IS so insignificant and self,seekipg that they are unworthy of consideration.
 The advantages to be gained from the merging of these great interests have been repeatedly stated in these columns. Even if it were true-which it is not-that the United Globe mines are of little value, the prestige and financial standing of Phelps, Dodge & Co., their influence upon the local railroad situation which insures low freight rates, such as the present Old Dominion company, unaided, would never be able to secure, and making available the desirable sulphide ores of the Copper Queen mine, in which ores the Old Dominion is deficient and which are necessary for successful smelling, would fully justify the Old Dominion ill accepting the offer of Phelps, Dodge X Go.
 The consolidation will certainly be and we have no hesi- tancy in making the prediction that it will prove of great benefit to the stock holders of both companies, and will also bring about the rapid development ( .
