will be made soon, according to the
World, 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, and the man who is to
consummate this stupendous transac-
ton is John d. Rockefeller
Men who have some knowledge of
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 SO, 800, .
600, 900.
1t is expected to control absolutely
the mineral output of the United
States, except possibly the Calumet q
Hecla copper mine of Michigan.
Within the past ten days Mr. Rookie
Teller has taken up personally the task
which has previously been left to his
brother, W. A. Rockefeller, and to H..
H. Rogers, who has been conspicuous
ly identified with the mineral interests
of the Standard Oil Company for ten
years.
Work Through Banks.
Standard Oil millionaires have been
acquiring the mines through their
banking interests In Colorado, David
Moffat and Denis 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 20 per cent of the productive
oe1 nd - h., ri
die 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.
Extensive placer gold interests in
Southern California are controlled by
Southern California banks in such a
way that they can be taken over at
any time.
1t is understood that f. A. Heinze
as condition for turning his Montana
mining interests into the big combina-
ton, demands that he be made an Off
Ger of the company in order to keep
certain promises ne mas mace 10 laDOI

of Rockefeller's enterprise:
