No. There are three types of ton, none of them equal 5280 pounds. The first ton, US (short) ton, equals 2000 lbs, while the UK (long) ton equals 2240 lbs. Then there is the metric tonne, which equals 2204.6 lbs.

There are, however, 5280 feet in a mile.

No. 58 ounces plus 714 pounds equals only 717.63 pounds and there are 2,000 pounds in one US ton.
