Austria-Hungary Takes Precautionary

Military Measures.
St. Petersburg, Nov. D.-Austria-
Hungary has formally notified Russia
of her precautionary military meas
ures on the Servian frontier, which
include the partial mobilization of the
Fifteenth army corps. These steps
are regarded generally as a military
demonstration, but in official circles it
is not felt that there is any reason
for alarm and it is believed that the
chances for peace have improved so
per cent since the powers, at the in
itiative of Austria-Hungary, under
took direct mediation with Belgrade
The Austrian note on the proposed
international congress to clear up the
situation in the Balkans finally has
been delivered and, according to a
creditable authority, it contains no
conclusive answer regarding the pro-
gramme of discussion suggested by
the other powers. It merely inau-
gurates a new phase of the negotia-
lions, which are taking normal
course and which probably will drag
on for weeks. Reports received here
from Vienna say that Austria-Hungary
adheres to her determination not to
discuss the question of the annexa-
ton of the occupied provinces of Bos-
mia and Herzegovina, but the impress
sion prevails that an agreement ulti-
mately will be reached and that the
congress will be held.
The Servian legation here was vir-
tually stormed by an assemblage of
unemployed men who wanted to en-
list with Servia for the predicted war
with Austria-Hungary.

AT a well-attended gathering of
representative men from all parts of
the country held at International

to organize a county Good Roads

1t is the purpose to call to the
final meetings at the county seat
delegates from all organized villages
and towns, commercial clubs, etc.,
and as this move is an important one
for the county it is hoped that
large attendance will be secured. It
is proposed to perfect an organiza-
ton that will be able to send repre-
sentatives to the next legislature for
the purpose of lobbying for road
legislation that will benefit the north
end of the state, and to unite with
other counties in this work. This
is where Koochiching county should
wake up and by pulling together we
will be able to accomplish some

Bisbee daily review., 1908-10-13

Advices from semi-official sources in the City of Mexico state that with the proposed reorganization of the com panies controlling the Greene conces- sions in northern Mexico the Cole Ryan interests will play an important part.
 It is positively stated that these capitalists have claims, the liquidation of which will place the copper mag mates in 8 position to control both the Sierra Madre Lana & Lumber compa- ny and the Greene Gold-Silver. Col. Greene will retain an interest in both the new enterprises, but the Cole Ryan people will direct the develop ment of their immense concessions and operate them on larger scale than has ever before been attempted.
 Just how much money would be re- quired to enable the former copper king of the southwest to finance the proposed concerns and pay off the in debtedness with which the basis or his enterprises in northern Mexico has been honeycombed cannot be learned. but probably several millions of dol lars would be necessary. There is a known indebtedness of $6,500,000 gold against the land and lumber company alone, and 1t is said that claims agains the Rio Grnde, Sierra Madre & Pacific railway will aggregate a sum equal to, or greater, than that amount.

Mining, SrneIters and StOCR Quotations
COLE-RYAN
 NOW IN CONTROL

It seems evident that the Cole-Ryan inteests, who now control the Can anea mines. and have just secured a big block of stock in the railroad re ferred to, are the prime movers in the reorganization scheme that sas been developing around the Greene concessions.
 It is said that the first indebtedness of the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber company will be liquidated, which means the taking up of the debenture bond issue of $2,000,000 gold and the general debts of the company, amount ing to about s1,500,00O.
 It is not considered probable, how ever, that creditors presenting claims against this company will be paid in full. but that these creditors will be willing to settle for reasonable per eentage of their claims. By this means it will be possible for the finaneiers behind the reorganization scaeme to get control of the railroads mines and timber lands in the concessions at a very low figure.
 It is thought that Colonel Greene, the former leading figure in the deyel- opment of northern Sonora and Chi auahua, will retain a liberal holding in the new companies, but the control of these companies will rest with Thos. IF. Cole, who now manages copper properties having an estimated value of 50,000,000.
