The appointment of Mr. Hammond was followed by the announcement that the Exploration company was to anu States and Mexico.

Mr, Hammond at the Antlers hotel last evening made several important announcements. It was rumored that his acceptance of the management of tfic Guggenheim Exploration company would necessitate a change in his relations with the Independence company.

Hammond stated that his office would be maintained in New York as has formerly been the ease, and while his management of the Guggenheim corporation will occasion much of his time In Mexico and in the west there will be no change in his business affairs. His visit to Colorado Springs was productive of the first steps the new general manager has taken in arranging his staff. One of his first acts was the appointment of A. Chester Beatty of Denver as chief assistant, and the appointment of Cortland E. Palmer of this city as assistant superintending engineer in charge of operations.

This puts Mr. Palmer directly under his office, making him responsible for the local management of the properties of the company. Mr. Hammpnd will be actively in the field for the next three months and will probably with his family spend the summer in Colorado. He came with a party of friends in a private car from see him in the ring.

McGovern, though at heart one of the best of fellows, generous, good-natured, devoted to his wife and children, careful of his money and of himself, regular in his habits and absolutely on the level, is rough by comparison with Corbett. There is not a suggestion of refinement in his red, square face. He talks with i the language of the street gamin, and no matter how he dresses he never can take on even a semblance of polish. Out of the ring he is the best-natured of men, and the smile is seldom away from his face; but within him are latent fires of a furious temper.

A naturally hot and irascible disposition was fanned Into intolerance of opposition by the ease with which he polished off everyone who met him. He became so used to quick victories that he learned to hold antagonists in contempt. When by chance a man succeeded in withstanding him for a time would become almost a wild man. stand off the mighty he seemed to reason. show him what it means to attempt Then he would throw caution to the winds, rush in and simply bear down his man by superior strength, hitting ability and the awe his fury inspired.

Early iri A i 1901 he won from Joe Bernstein and boosted his reputation slightly. He was still comparatively unknown when Broad went out to Denver and disposed of him in four rounds. After that defeat Corbett began to climb the ladder.

He met Broad again and outpointed him. He knocked out Eddy Santry in two rounds, Oscar Gardner in six. and outpointed George Dixon in 19 rounds. All of these victories were over men who had seen their best days in the ring, and it gave Corbett no great reputation. He was then matched to fight Terry McGovery at Hartford, and the belief of 900 men in 1,000 was that McGovern would win in a walk.

Palmer of Colorado Springs as superintending engineer of operations for the company.

The question was decided in the district court yesterday morning and. under the verdict then rendered. Teller county was awarded a judgment of $14.764.98.

This was the amount claimed by Teller county under the terms of the act which provided for the creation of the county out of the body of El Paso county. The act provided that all monies of EJ Paso county should be divided on the basis of the assessed valuation. Under this it was decided that the funds should be divided at the ratio of 72.25 to 27.75.
