herty. an eccentric prospector, who is
supposed to lie buried beneath an i'm
mense snowslide, which swept over the
old miners cabin, in the Wise river
country, Montana O'Flaherty was at
one time superintendent Of the Hecla
Mining company, one OF the largest
concerns of it's kind at that time In
Montana. He was 70 years old.
Acting under the orders of Adjutant
General Sherman M. Bell of the Colo
RADIO national guard, special train
was made up at Victor, Col, for the
deportation of rs union miners. The
train comprised combination baggage
car and two day coaches. Almost i'm
mediately the work Of loading the men
began. They were marched to the
train between heavy lines of militia
and deputies. A crowd of fully LOCO
people had collected to see the men
placed on board. Among the specta-
tors were wives and sisters, fathers
and mothers of the deported men, and
the scenes were very affecting. Moth
ers, sisters and sweethearts cried good
by and tried to push through the lines
for parting handshake. The militia
men dumped the men on the prairie
just over the Colorado line. At the
point where they were set down there
is no eating house nor railway station,
and the men were practically desti-
tute.
General Sherman M. Bell says: IL
have indisputable evidence in my pos
session which will lead to the convic-
ton of a number of union men for the
murder of the nonunion miners who
were killed in the independence depot
explosion. We have between 35 and 40
men in the bullpen who will swing for
this crime. We are only waiting to
capture two or three more men before
we tell what our evidence is.''
At Victor, Col, Andy Pavitsch was
killed and John M. Marshall fatally in
jured by the explosion of missed shot
in Stratton's independence mine. Both
of Marshall's eyes were blown out.
Peace is coming to Cripple Creek,
Col, if General Sherman M. Bell mill
tary commander of Teller county, can
accomplish all that he has planned to
do. 1t will come through forcible ex-
pulsion of all persons who owe allegi-
ance to the Western Federation of
Miners, or who express sympathy with
the miners union.

a gigantic new combination of capital
in the United States and Europe. 1t
is nothing less than an amalgamation
of the valuable mines of America. The
man who is to consummate this stu
pendous transaction Is John d. Rookie
Teller.
Men who have some knowledge OF
the work now going on in furtherance
of this plan say the corporation under
which the big mining interests will be
merged will have capital of $780,
100000 It is expected to control abb
solutely the mineral output of the
United States, except possibly that of
the Calumet & Hecla copper mine of
Michigan.
Within the last 10 days Mr.. Rookie
Teller has taken up personally the task
which had been left to his brother, w.
A. Rockefeller, and to H. H. Rogers,
who has been conspicuous with the
mineral interests of the Standard Oil
company for 10 years.
Standard Oil millionaires have been
acquiring mines of America through
their banking interests. In Colorado
David Moffat and Dennis Sullivan OF
the First National bank of Denver,
have paid out many millions in the
last six years for producing mines, and
are said to control 70 per cent of the
production of gold, silver and lead
mines of the middle Rocky mountain
district

Senator w. A. Clark, owner of the
United Verde copper mines of Arizona,
and with large holdings in many of the
Amalgamated Copper company mines
in Montana, has been working with
Rogers for several years. The extern

California, controlled by Southern Cali
fornia banks, are in such condition
that they can be taken over at any

Senator Kearns, when in this city
last week, said he had no doubt that
by January, 1905, Rockefeller would be
in position to make the final move in
his long cherished plan.
Dennis Ryan of St. raul, one of the
best known mining men in the north
west, is in this city at present, and is
said to have been the means of selling
to Rockefeller within the past week a
group of gold and copper mining prop
critics in Washington and southern
British Columbia. Ryan declined to
talk of his own transactions, but said
OF Rockefeller's enterprises:
When he gets the thing in working
shape and springs it on the public, it
will take the peoples breath away.
When he discloses what he controls in
the way of mines that are producing
real ore, he will make the mining
spectators of the world wonder wheth-
er they have been awake or asleep for
the last 10 years."
