MANY BAD SLIDES.
Several Hundred Men Shut In BY the
Snow

Denver.-In addition to the disas
trous slide Mt the Camp Bird. Ouray
dispatches tell OF many other bad
slides. A Sunday night special says:
The following mines are completely
shut on from communication of this
city and the storm is so fierce that II
Is impossible to reach them:
The Bankers National, employing
| eighty men: the Revenue. employing
200 men: the Atlas. employing sixteen
men: the Camp Bird. employing $50
men: the San Pedro. employing six.
teen men.
Al 3 o'clock this afternoon slide
took out the power line of the Animas
Mining Company. Later second slide
took three-quarters OF a mile of the
power line of the Telluride Power
plant. which furnishes power to the
Revenue. San Pedro and Atlas mines.
Robert Pearson OF the Revenue tun'
mel arrived here tonight. bringing with
him the first news OF that mine. He
stated that two slides had come down
at 4 o'clock this morning and carried
away 100 feet Of snowslides. II Is
feared that two other large slides will
come down and carry away the mill
and other buildings OF the company.
Pearson left the Revenue this morn
ing and stated that the trip was ter.
rible one. Slides were running on all
sides and he experienced several mar
row escapes. He came over the noun
tain and down the hill where the road
is located. but said there was no SEM
biance OF the road. When near the
Camp Bird mill he broke one OF his
snowshoes and was obliged to finish
his trip to this city with but one shoe.
He reported that the Atlas and San
Pedro were still safe. The severity OF
the storm cannot be imagined. old min
ers saying that 1t is the worst In the
past fifteen to twenty years. The dam.
age done will amount to hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars.

In 1900 the exports to Europe crossed
the billion dollar line and since then
have averaged about 1.O5O.0OO,0oo per
aunum. In 1900 the exports to all sec.
tions of the world other than europe

were sos, ,OO0, 900. the growth since l9oo
in exports to the non-European coun.
tries having been proportlonately
greater than that to Europe. Prior 10
1890 the share of the imports dawn
from Europe averaged about hfty-hve
per cent; in 1905. 1t was 4S.4 per cent.
This reduction, the bulletin says. IL ap-
parently accounted for by the growing
demand in the United States for tropi-
cal and sub-tropical products which are
supplied almost exclusively by tne
other grand divisions OF the world.

ONE COMPANY wirHoRAws.
Holly People Will Control Holbrook
Valley.

Denver.-A La Junta special to the
Republican says: A lively contest has
been on for the last two months be-
tween the Holly Construction Com
pany and the American Beet Sugar
Company. In addition to the large
sugar refinery which Is being built at
the new town of Swink by the former
company, 1t Is also engaged In building
a railroad into the Holbrook valley to
tap that rich agricultural district and
to provide transportation for the large
amount of sugar beets to be raised By
the farmers of that section.
The American Beet Sugar Company
of Rocky Ford has also had contrac-
tors. men and teams at work con-
structing another railroad line into
the Holbrook valley paralleling the
road being built by the Holly company
The majority of the farmers signed
their beet sugar contracts with the
Holly Construction Company, which
will give the road being built by that
company the larger share OF the traffic.
Within the last few days the Amcri-
can Beet Sugar Company has called OF
the contractors, men and teams en-
gagged in building It's roadbed and all
work on the railroad to be built by this
company has been stopped. This will
leave the Holly company in possession
OF the field.
