900 Acres Worth $1,000, ,0OO, ,000.00,
Upheld by Supreme Court.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The United States Su-
preme Court upheld the action of for
mer President Taft in withdrawing
from public entry nearly 100000
acres of oil land comprised in the pub
lie domain in California, Wyoming and
other western states. Three justices
dissented from the opinion.
The suit was brought by the Mid
west Oil Company and associated com
panies, which operate in the Salt
Creek fields in Wyoming.
The companies questioned the right
of the President to withdraw these
lands before he had been specifically
authorized by Congress to do so.
1t is estimated that the value OF the
oil deposits in the land involved In the
withdrawal order is more than $1,000
OOO, 900. being practically all the un-
appropriated known oil land on the
government domain.
Officers OF the Midwest Oil Com
pany, whose headquarters are in Den
yer. said that the decision affects but
100 acres OF the land claimed by the
company.

PLAN CRIPPLE CREEK MERGER
81, 900 900 Consolidation Of indicator
With Golden Cycle Reported
Under way

Denver. - Negotiations have been
started for the purchase by the Vindi-
Gator Consolidated Gold Mining Com
pany of the Golden Cycle mine and
mill at Cripple Creek. at a price said
to be between 100000 900 and $7,000.000
A. e. Carlton, a banker of the Cripple
Creek district, was in Denver for the
purpose of comforting with the Vindi-
Gator management, in relation to the
terms of the deal.

largest dividend payers in the district.
The profits of the Golden Cycle were
in excess last year of $1,300.000, while
the Vindicator distributed about $780,
900. A consolidation Of the properties
would mean the largest combination of
capital in the Cripple Creek section

Washington, Feb. 27. = Congress
worked away steadily Friday and last
night on it's task of cleaning up sup
ply bills which must be out of the
way before adjournment on March 4.
The Senate passed the naval bill,
100000, the fortification bill So
100000 and the diplomatic bill $4,000
900, while the House spent the day in
debating the general deficiency meas
ure. with Interruptions now and then
to dispose of conference reports.
The Senate added about $4,000, 900
to the naval bill as it passed the
House, providing in the two battle
ship construction program for five
sea-going submarines, instead of one,
for sixteen instead of eleven coast de
fense submarines, for a gunboat and
n hospital ship and adding $1,000, 900
for an armor plant and 100000 for a
projectile factory.
Senator Smoot vainly sought to
have authorized the construction OF
fifty sea-going and twenty-five coast
submarines, declaring that mo man
can tell when the European disturb
ance will involve this country in diff
culties."
This precipitated q general discus
sion of the war in which Senators
Jones OF Washington and Thomas OF
Colorado, Townsend of Michigan and
Lewis of Illinois joined.
The Notifications bill was passed
without amendment so it now goes to
the President for his signature.
Some $250,000 was added to the diplo-
matte bill. and a paragraph calling on
the President to collect from Cuba
$6,500,000. the expense of the Ameri-
can army of pacification in 1909 was
stricken out on a point of order.
The House agreed to most of the
Senate amendments to the army bill,
but refused to accept several. includ-
ing one eliminating the prohibition
against stop-watches- and other
speeding up" methods In army shops.
Following a long conference at the
White House between President Will
son and Senator Stone, chairman of
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee 1t was said to be improbable that
the President would call a special SEES
sion OF the Senate.
Arrangements for the President s
contemplated trip to San Francisco
are being held up pending the settle
ment of the special session question
and the determination of pending in
ternational issues. 1t was said that
the President still planned to arrive
in San Francisco March 81
Despairing of amending the gov
ernment ship purchase bill to meet
objections of insurgent Democratic
senators. conferees on the measure
agreed to a report which would make
permanent the proposed government
shipping board and ship corporation
subject to the will of the President
and Congress.

HUNDREDS OF WOUNDED CAP.
TURED; MANY PICKED FROM
FROZEN GROUND, DYING.
DESTROY ELEVEN SHIPS
WITH MINES AND ToRPEDOES.
DURING FIRST WEEK OF UN-
DER SEA BLOCKADE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Feb. 25.-The Austrians
have suffered severe defeat in Bu-
kowina.
Hundreds of wounded have been
captured, many of whom were picked
up from the frozen ground, wounded
and dying. The Russians have seized
the railway and the important railway
center Stanislau, after delivering a
crushing blow to the allied Teutons.
The German blockade of the British
Isles has been in effect for week
with the result that, so far as known.
two Norwegian, one French and five
British steamers have been sunk or
torpedoed by submarines, with the sur
prisingly small loss of four lives. Two
of these steamers, the Belridge and tha
Dinorah, succeeded in reaching port.
On the other side of the account 1t
is reported that two German subma-
rines are missing and third had been
hit and possibly sunk by a French de-
rtroyer.
Besides the vessels which fell VIC
tins to the submarines two American
and one Norwegian steamer have been
sunk by mines in the North Sea, and
the Swedish steamer Specia and one
or two British steamers are overdue
and it is feared have been lost with
their crews.
III almost every case the steamer
sunk by the submarine was a small
and slow vessel and at least three of
them were caught while at anchor or
while they were barely under way. This.
with the failure of submarine to hit
a fast cross-channel steamer at which
it fired a torpedo, apparently proves
to the satisfaction of British naval
writer's that the steamers with modern
speed which observe obvious precau-
tions can invariably escape the under
water craft. and such vessels are con-
tinuing to cross the seas. ,
With conditions such as these, the
public. both In England and neutral
countries. is naturally curious as to
the latest proposal of the American
government to Great Britain and Ger
many, OF which little has been al
lowed to leak out either In London or
Berlin, and also as to what the allies
reply to the German blockade will be,
another matter in which secrecy Is
being maintained.
The steamer Royperana was sunk
off Eastbourne. 1t is believed that
she was torpedoed. The crew of thir-
ty-one men were saved.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Copenhagen says it is feared there
that the steamer Specia Of Stockholm
has struck a mine and foundered. The
steamer left Liverpool Jan. 81 and was
last reported Feb. 2.
The crew of the Norwegian steamer
Regin. which was srnk by either a
submarine or a mine off Dover arrived
in London and was received by the
Norwegian consul.
