OWN UNITED STATES MINES
JOHN D. RocKEFELLER's TWO
BILLION DOLLAR COMBINE.
Gigantic Proposal to Control American
Mineral Output-Buying Up All the
Valuable Properties-Clark and
Heinze are Supposed to Be in 1t
Heinze an Officer of the Company.

Announcement will be made soon OF
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 a capital of $780,
100000. 1t is expected to control alb
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 Deen left to his brother, w.
A. Rockefeller, and to II. II. Rogers,
who has been conspicuous with the
mineral interests of the Standard Oil
company for 10 years.
Standard Oil millionaires have been
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
Clark and Heinze.
Senator w. A. Ozark, owner of the
United Verde copper mines of Arizona
and with large holdings liz many of the
Copper company mines
in Montana, has been working with
Rogers for several years. The extern
sive placer gold interests of Southern
California, controlled by Southern Cali
fornia banks, are in such condition
that they can be taken over at any
time
1t is understood that F. A. Heinze
as a condition for turning his Montana
mining interests into the big combina-
ton, demands that he be made an of
fcer of the company, in order to keep
certain promises he has made to labor
unions. Heinze will probably be made
an officer
Senator kearns, when in this city
last week, said he had no doubt that
by January, 1905, Rockefeller would be
in a 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
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 enterprise:
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"

According to the report, the damage

very unsatisfactory at this time as
the battleship had just been repaired

disabled since the commencement o.

Japanese lost four vessels, at least two
of which are supposed to have been

account of themselves in future naYa
