UNITED STATES AND
ENGLAND WILL SAVE
MINE PROPERTY

Washington, June 25.-An agreement
has been reached between the United
States and Great Britain to protect min
ing property in Mexico, similar to that
made to protect oil interests.
Withdrawal of foreigners from mining
districts and the danger of returning
while military operations were imminent
have made 1t impossible for operators IN
every case to meet contract obligations
or comply with requirements OF the au-
thorities. As a possible result some con-
tracts may be CANCELLED or some proper
ties confiscated and the interests resold.
The United States and Great Britain
have formally agreed not to support diplo-
matically any claim to interests in mines
or mining rights acquired directly or IN
directly by their respective nationals since
January /. 1918, which in any way were ar-
fected by cancellations or confiscations
resulting from the inability of the bona
fide owners to meet their contractural OF
/ legal obligations because of military op
| erations.

LYON CANAL
Meeting of Stockholders AdjOurns
Without EIecting New Board

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Fort Lyon Canal Com

day and drew the usual large crowd of
interested water rights owners and
farmers from all along the system.
The usual big job of the credentials
committee took good part Of the day.
and was added to considerably by the
complication of most of the givers of
proxies forgetting that we are at war
and must put a war tax on documents.
1t made the patriotic stockholders feel
| real enthusiastic to be called on to buy
stamp and lick it before they could
vote the proxies.
In the meanwhile the stockholders
had been listening to the annual report
of the president, d. b. Novels, which
met with both commendation and con-
demnation as the various stockholders
| felt about it. There was more division
of opinion than for several years, and
the session lasted until into the night.
Many of the east end stockholders left
on the stub train, and it was finally de-
cided to adjourn the meeting until the
first Monday in February when the
new board will be elected. The men,
bers of the present board were renom-
mated with the exception of Senator
elect J. S. Hasty, who refused to allow
his name to be presented. B. T. McClave
and w. E. Cooper were nominated fol
the place.
AN assessment of S5 cents per share
was voted, which is the same as that OF
last year. Much oratory was spilled as
is usual on these occasions, which re-
| suited as it generally does in Powers
