J5n.VVER. Colo. , Nov. EC. ( Special. ) A big
mining deal hag just been completed at Tcllu-
rlclo anil the first payment of $25,000 on the
deal marks the change In ownership of the
Terrible and Butterfly mines. These prop-
crtlcs arc Incited near Snn Hernnndlno sta

1C. Itcnnon , and these propel tics are sold to
the Anglo-American syndicate , principally
composed ol Englishmen , tor a consideration

work of erecting the mill will be pushed no
rapidly as posnlblc , and the mines will bo
worked on nn extensive scale at the earliest
possible date. The owner has been prosecut
ing development work and the properties for
a number of years past , and as a result there
nre Immense areas of ore blocked out and In
night. Ho lies been shipping the high grade
ere taken out. which has paid the develop
ment expenses. The mlnca are an Ideal con-

SANTA FE , N. M. , NoV. 20. ( Special. )
With irrigation and mining both undergoing
great development In th = territory , the people
ple are feeling very much encouraged tor
the future. A great deal of this develop
ment Is being done by Colorado men , who
are at work on the mines and are watching
tlie progress of agriculture under Irrigation.
A number of capitalists have been engaged
for a time quietly picking up claims , locating
mill sites , etc. , and have oven gone so far
as to gather in. the agricultural lands along
H' r river and lay out Irrigation ditches
with a view to carrying forward several
townslto and colonization enterprises with
the coming of the new year. A notable move
In this respect has. been made by William
Glllis , a California pioneer , who came In by
way cf Colorado and who Is now employing
a force of men on a ditch that will bring
under cultivation 3,000 acres on the west
slope between Qulsa and lied Ulvcr City.
Ho has a contract with twenty-five families
from Storm Lnke , la. , to locate there In Feb
ruary. '
On the east slope of the range It seems al
most certain that the Atchlson , Topeka &
Santa Fe means business In Its present sur
vey for a. branch line of railroad trom
Springer up through the Elizabethtown dis
trict Into the Rod river region , nnd this en
terprise Is greatly stimulating the mining In
dustry In that locality. The Denver & Gulf
road Is also. It is said , to extend Its Catskill
branch toward the nod river at an early date
'
and the Denver & Tllo Grande railway'is fig
uring on a new bridge over the Rio Grande
that will render Red river ores much more
accessible than at present.
'At CocMta there has never been such good
feeling umong property owners as exists at
present. The pending saleot the Albemarlc
group ot mines to J. A. Coram of Massa
chusetts , I. L. Merrill of Dutte , Mont. , anil
others , and the likelihood that the L/one St < u
mine will also be sold for big money c
Colorado men has seemed to put new life
into the camp. The fact that the Iron King
mlno has also fallen Into , the hands of Den
ver people only accentuates this fact , and
everybody believes that the time la now not
far distant when the Cochlta will bo provided
with tlct which the district has long needed
a mammoth mill to treat the thousands
tinon thousands of tons of $12 to $20 ore now
exposed on the dumps In that wmp.
la south Eania Fe county no such activity
cs Is at present to box noted has been wit
nessed In ten ycara. The crying want
Killing facilities Is at last about to be sup-
t < iod. The last carload of material for the
lu w slxty-flvc-ton smelter at Cerrlllas was
t't'lvercd yesterday and the plant will blow
in between the 1st and 20th of December.
Abcut the sumo time the Weycr-McGee mill
at Dolores will bo In operation at Dolores ,
nlso the new pumping plant and two twenty-
ton Huntlugton mills are doing excellent
work on the Ortiz mine. G. E. Ulgot of St.
L uls. president of the Ortiz Mlno company ,
loK for homo yesterday highly elated-over
his success , particularly since a drift In the
305-foot level has developed a choice new
body of gold-bearing quartz.
A number of rich strikes are reported from
the UMck Range district , the most Important
being a discovery of three feet of ore In
Ge'rgo Iliucus' Pelican mine at Hermosa
yielding COO ounces In silver per ton. The
best of reports have. been coming In from
the Black Range for name time , one big
group ot claims having struck a vein of gold
rock giving smelter returns of J2.100 per
ton , and much Is expected of the district
during the coming winter.

A party , consisting ot State Secretary Roddlc
Superintendent Davis of the Indian school ,
A. Aylcsworth , J. C. Hays and T , Madscn ,
were out at the Madscn ranche , on iBad river ,
on a wolf hunt , the first ot the week. They
report great sport and wolves plenty , cap
turing twenty-four in one day's hunting.
They attempted to get the wolves out onto
the open country , with the hope of getting
a straightaway race between the hounds
and a wolf , but this was a failure , the quarry
keeping among the bluffs along the river , and
necessitating eomo rough riding to keep In
sight of the chase. Some of the riders were
not accustomed to that kind of ground on
which to take tholr jaunts and did not see
as much of the chase as they would like to.
But none of the ponies went down , and all
the members of the party report an ex
cellent day of sport , and another hunt Is
likely to bo organized at any time to work
over the same territory.

the amount of judgment Is Ies than $75 ,
and the court holds this law good , but holds
also tint the costs are a part of the Judg

ring on the matter of the litigation fund for

NEW YORK , Nov. 20. Bradstreet's Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say :
Although p-oculatlon has been mainly In
: he hands of .speculators , the undertone was
'ppurently quiet throughout the week's
. racing on 'ae Stock exchange. The holiday
Jn Thursday created an indisposition to
: i-jda and resulted on Wednesday last In
norc or less selling to obtain limited profits
3n the bull side. On Friday f.e market ,
ifter an early ppell of hesitation , lAlth some
; llght bearish news , developed strength on
: -ar covering and cloietl be ter. There has
aeen no very severe pressure and while ,
except in a ft'.v stocks , decided support was
ackln , It gave the Impression that liquida
tion Is over and tsat stocks are In strong
lands.
The approaching meeting of congress Is
regarded as the next speculative factor of
ni.wrta.nce and It Is concluded that 'large
Inanclal In. "crests " are waiting till the ses-
rlon begins and the attitude of the national
awmakers on the Cuban question is de
veloped. As far as the administration Is
concerned "the street" at largo has been
favorably Impressed both by the pacific dis
position that has characterized the nfgotla-
: lens with Spain and by the current reports
Lhat the ipresldf-nt's message will deal
argely with the currency and take a posl-
: lon satisfactory 10 sound money sentiment.
The fact that Secretary Gage , In his f-pet-ch
n New York on Thursday evening , dult
only with fc-eneralltles as to the currency
and th-e administration's policy In regard
thereto , created neither furprlss nor dlsap-
olntmen:1 : , though a portion of use1 "street"
was dl.-iposed to anticipate a more obtrusive
utterance.
There acre a , number of unfavorable de
velopments throughout the wec-U and more
attention was paid to Increased railroad
earnings and circumstances relating to the
speculation of par'lcular properties.
The payment of the Installment of over
S13.ouO.000 ol the I'nlon Pacific purchase

whatever Interest exists In that direction re
fers to : ho disposition of the Kansas Pacific
division , the foreclosure sale of which takes
: > lace December 15 , no definite arrangements
ivavlns yet been reached between the gov
ernment and the committee.
London has not been u factor of any Im
portance In our market , though selling from
that source has been larger than the pur
chasing.

Court-Martial Finds Him Guilty as Charged
in Specifications ,
SENTENCES HIM TO BE REPRIMANDED
Trlliunnl Take * Into CmiMilrradun
tile Previous Oixnl Itcooril of the.
OI1H-LT anil Hail llocuril of
the 1'rihouur.
CHICAGO , Nov. 2C. The Tribune today
prints the following : The finding of the
court-martial Is that the accused Is guilty as
charged in the specifications , and that he be
reprimanded by the reviewing authority ,
The court Is thus lenient In view of the
good character of the accused , as shown In
the evidence.
The foregoing Is , according to the state
ment of a man who knows the exact verdict
of the court-martial , which has. just com
pleted Its labors In the case of Captain
Leonard A. Levering of Fort Sheridan ,
charged with brutal treatment of Private
Charles Hammond.
"It took the court-martial one hour to reach
Ita decision. The first ballot resulted In
seven membens of the court-martial voting
guilty' and five 'not guilty. ' "
The court-martial is composed of thirteen
members , but Major Randolph , who had been
detiilled to attend , was unable to do so , aud
so twelve men sat as a Jury to decide the
fate of Captuln Lovering.
There was a vigorous effort made to have
those parts ot the specifications charging
Captain Levering with "cruelty" and
"brutality" stricken out , but It was finally
decided to consider the cbaifjes as they wore
set forth In the specifications and the decision
was reached without making the changes.
A majority is conclusive In a court-martial
finding , and BO , after the fact of guilt was
established , the oaly thing to bo considered
was the measure of punishment. The officers
iad made up their minde that Hammond's
career as a soldier was not creditable , and
this weighed strongly In bringing them to an
agreement as to the punishment to be meted
out to Lovering. .
LOVERING'S UECORD.
The evidence showed that Captain Levering
iad been connected with the United Stales
military service for twenty-five years and that
his record had been a good one. A number
of iJie officers came out plainly and would
jot vote for a finding of guilty or giving a
mutilating punishment. It was argued that
iainmond's record when placed by the side ot
Contain Loverlng's was of such a character
as unavoidably to gain some sympathy from
the court for theofficer. .
The finding of a court-martial Is secret.
mder a solemn oath. The members of the
court are sworn not to divulge the finding or
discuss It until it has reached the highest
authority , which in this case Is President Mc-
vlnley. As the Levering eourt-martiiil Is the
result of a direct order issued by the presi
dent , he will bo the reviewing officer In the
age , unless ho surrenders the responsibility
, o General Alger , secretary of war.
Lieutenant Colonel Hunter , Judge advocate
of the court , will have hlfl record completed
oday. and this , with the finding , will be
forwarded to Washington tonight. It will
probably bo placed In the hands of the presi
dent on Monday and after Its Inspection by
General Alger and General Miles the finding
will bn clvnn out officially. The announce
ment will probably IHJ made by Thursday of
next week. It Is of course known that the
president may change the sentence recom
mended by the court-martial.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. The record of
tbo court-mirtlal In the case of Captain Lov-
etiug has not yet reached the War depart-
nent. It will not pass through the hands of
General Brooke , as would be the case In the
ordinary routine , but the general being re
garded somtwhat in the light of an accuser
of Loverlug the papers will not come before
him at all , either for review or transmission
to Washington from Chicago. The Judge ad
vocate ot the court , It Is expected , will for
ward the papers direct to Judge Advocate
General Lleber nt the War department , and
the latter will submit them with his endorse
ment to General Miles , who In tuiu will
send the case up to Secretary Alger , ani
eventually It may reach the White House.
VEHDICT IS SH.VP TO WASHINGTON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2C. A Washington
dispatch to the Herald says : It Is the desire
of the British government that the United
States shall authorize a British company to
land a cable on one of the Hawaiian Islands ,
this cable to connect Canada and Australia.
Such authorization. Is cpposed by the French
government , oa the ground that the luylnp of
a cable with British capital would piaco
Great 'Britain ' in control of a telegraphic
system reaching around the entire- world , aud
that , In the event of war , before a mcsaago
could be transmitted the British govern
ment's consent would have to be obtained.
In case Great Britain were engaged In
hr utilities , a diplomat pointed out , it would
bo practically impossible for 'France ' to send
a message over any cable which did not pasa
through British territory , except that which
connects France and Cape Cod , Mass.
M. Patenotre has made a representation on
the subject to Secretary Shcrmaz. vso said
ho did not think it would make much dif
ference ; this government could use the cable
if It dfsircd and in case of necessity an
c-ppoftltlon line could be established. The
Trench officials , however , point out that In
case of war between the United States and
Great Britain the government would find
itself seriously hampered If the cable wr.ru
under British control.
Information has re-ached here that agents
of the British company interested In the
cable enterprise and the consul general of
Great Britain in Honolulu are. making a
determined effort to secure a reccmmenda-
tlon from the Dole authorities to the United
States that the British company be allowed
to land a cable. Mr , Scwall. the diplomatic
represortatlvc of this govern inert to Hawaii ,
is wholly opposed to the granting of such
permission ru the ground that such n-tlon
would lie prejudicial to the Inn rests of bis
Kovernme&t. It Is Impossible for the D' lo
authorities to give pi'rmlsslc-n to lay a cable ,
on account of the reclprorlty treaty between
Hawaii and the United iStatcs.
The colonial office late this evening re
ceived a cable message from Lagos , West
Coast of Africa , rtatlng that a rumor li
current an.ong the natives there of a c lllslou
between -100 'British nnd French troops. The
report. It Is .believed . , will prove to bo
founded on a conflict between the French and
some natives.
