llerger of all
Mines.

A dispatch from New York dated June
H. says: Announcement will be made
soou 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 stu
pendous transaction is John ID. Rookie.
feiler
Men who have some knowledge Of the
work now going on in furtherance of the
plan say the corporation under which
the big mining interests will be merged
will have par capital of S2,5O0,0O0,0OO.
1t is expected to control absolutely the
mineral output of the United States, ex.
cept possibly, that of the Calumet and
Hecla copper mine of Michigan.
Within the last ten days Rockefeller
has taken up personally the task which
had been left to his brother, William
Rockefeller, and to II. II. Rodgers, who
have been conspicuously identified with
the mineral interests of the Standard
Oil Company. For ten years the Stand
ard Oil mill,onaires have been acquiring
the mines OF America through their
bankrupt interests.
In Colorado, David II. Moffat and
Dennis Sullivan, of the First National
Bank of Denver, have paid out many
millions in the last six years for produc-
ing mines and they control 70 per cent
of the producing gold, silver and lead
mines of the middle Rocky Mountain
district.
In California, Western mine-owning
com bination, controlled by Haggin and
affiliated interests, has been ready for
some time to enter into an agreement
with Rockefeller for general comblna-
ton of mining properties.
Senator Clark, owner of the United
Verde copper mines of Arizona, and with
large holdings in many of tho Amalga-
mated Copper Company's mines in Mon
.ana, has been working with Rogers for
several years.
"A. Heinze, who has given the Stand
ard OIL and Amalgamated Copper inter
ests in Montana so much trouble, has
been in the city for several weeks. he
is negotiating direct with Rockefeller Tor
he turning over of his interest 10 Mon
Va to the new combine.
,nator Kearns of Utah has only re-
sold to Rockefeller his valuable
for somsthing considerably more
an 100000.
In Idaho the Standard Oil Company
has had control of the producing mines
for some wears.
In New Mexico the mines near the
western border passed into tne control
of the National City Bank some years
ago.

To Save the Big
Horns.

The reports of the engineers in con-
struction of the Salt Lake & San Pedro
Railroad show an urgent need of I. Ma
tional Game Reserve in Nevada il this
State would save its last band OF mount
ain sheep.
Vice President Clark of the new road
was among the first to call attention to
the fact that with the arrival of the loco
motive in Southern Nevada the sturdy
big horns we're doomed il strict game
laws are not enacted in accordance with
those of Montana and other inter. mount
ain States. Nevada's wild herds are pro-
tected by neither law nor Government
reserve, but the Salt Lake Herald states
that the project for National reserve is
now we'll afoot and action will be taken
when Congress is called to order next
December.
The district that the United States
will be asked to set aside for this pur.
pose is situated in Lincoln County, and
contains about 625 square miles.
In speaking of the proposed reserva-
tion Mr.. CLARK recently said; Nevada
has probably the oldest family of big
horn in the United States, they having
doubtless inhabited the same hills for
many generations. 1t is their native
home. If the proper protection is given
them they will increase and be credit
to public enterprise for time to come
Nevada will doubtless pass sufficient
game laws at the coming session of the
Legislature and the matter of National
reserve will be put before Congress. II
Nevada's mountain sheep are to have
protection they must have it at once

0vERDORF IS
IN fine TRIM
Sports Think He Will Put Reilly
to the Bad Monday
Night

Probable the best matched pair of
boxers that has signed articles with a
local club this year is Jack Overdorf
and Jack Reilly. Both men are well
known here and Overdorfs powers are
well known to the wise ones in this
section. He has covered himself with
glory on several occasions and when in
shape is model of physical culture
He can stand all kinds of punishment
Reilly in their first meeting here but
the former is now in much better
shape than he was then and he is out
to beat Reilly this time if only for
the honor of it. Although Overdorf
has not any too much science he is a
bull for strength and natural fighter
and there are some who believe he will
put Reilly in the land Of dreams.
The match will be pulled off at the
Lewiston opera house Monday evening
at $3.50 sharp, both men having agreed
to the same in the articles. This rule
was made at the solicitation of large
number Of sports who object to wait
ing half night to witness a fight.
The sporting editor has been in
formed by Barney Mullin that he is
willing to meet any one in a bout as
a preliminary to the big fight He is
anxious to take on a match here again
and believes that he is still in the
game, as of old. He says in reference
to the statement made by Jack Melvey
the winner of the Reilly
Overdorf go, that he is willing to meet
Malvey in four rounds if the manage
ment will allow purse satisfactory or
for side bet and promises to stop the
boy in short order
The advance sale of seats have been
large in the last day or two and the in
dications that the opera house will be
packed for this event.

When good judge can see a wall
plastered with Baker Plaster and hard

next to it put on under the same con-

has no trouble in making up his mind
which plaster makes the best wall.

The j. Alexander company will EN-
bark in the grain business on general
lines and it is probable that before the
season ends this year that the company
will have string Of warehouses on the
Clearwater branch of the n. p. Sew
eral days ago the company leased from
the Kerr. Clifford company, of Port
land, their grain warehouse at Sweet
water on the Culdesac branch and this
year will place a man in charge of the

holds about 10000 bushels of wheat
an the firm have arranged for more
room should the demands REQUIRE II
The main Office of the company will be
located here with Mr.. T. Ward as gem
eral manager. Mr.. Ward was seen this
AFTERNOON and stated that they had
contemplated putting up line Of
houses this year at many Of the prin-
cipal grain points but as yet had not
thoroughly decided on the plans of the
company.
The grain business is one Of the
principal industries of Lewiston valley
and the great crops grown each wear
is becoming greater in volume. Up to
the present time there are but three
companies doing business at the in
terror points. The Alexander company
have purchased grain for many years
but not on extensive lines. however, be-
lieving In the great possibilities in
store for the future with reference to
the business the company is Of the
opinion that the situation demands
such competition that will give to the
producer the fun benefits Of the grain
markets of the country.
