Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-11-06

His intention was to conceal the crime by
burning the house; but it seems that the poor
old lady who was in her ninetieth year, was
restored to consciousness by the torture of the
flames and CROPPED her way across the room to
the water pail, but was unable to quench the
fire. and finally crawled to the back door,
where che was found burned to crisp. The
house, contrary to the design of the murderer,
did not take fire. The report that bloody
knife and axe were found in the room, ard
that the dead hand of the victim grasped a
mallet, is incorrect. A reward of three hun
dred dollars has been offered by Sheriff Dill
for apprehension of the murderer. The 6e-

A special to the Denver Tribune from
Alamosa, 300 miles south of Denver, and the
terminus of the Rio Grande railway, says the
women and children, recent captesiv among
the Utes, arrived there on the 18th of Oct.
where they will remain for few days before
preceding to Denver. They were surrender
ed to special agent Adams after parley of
five hours at the camp on a. tributary of Grand
river, on the 21st, and on the morning of the
22nd, started homeward, proceeding through
the Indian country in care of the employees of
the Los Pinos agency to Ouray's house and
agency, arriving at the latter place on the
morning of the 25th, and started honeward
arriving at Alamosa as above. The captiyes
report that the money and papers whichiwers
represented to be safe were destroyed by the
Utes. Miss Meeker's life was threatened by
Chief Douglas, who placed gun to her head,
but she did not finch, and told Douglas she
neither feared Indians or death, and he

Recently Professor Copc Philadei-
pnia, gave 10 thc San FrsL 10 Academy
of Science description of two lately dis
covered fossil animals. One was an enor-
nous vertebrate, somewhat resembling
an aquatic kangaroo, named the Canara-
saurus Suprenaus, whose neck was 9 feet in
diameter, whose hind legs were ~ feet
long, whose spinal vertebre were So in
ches across, and which must have been ~
feet long by measurements carefully taken.
This animal could walk in forty feet of
water and catch its prey with its fore

monster whose spinal vertebre were
feet across and whose hiud legs were ~
feet long. with carnivorous teeth placed
in the upper and lower jaws like shears,
so as to cut animal food by traversing
each other in the most perfect manner.
The bones OF The lower half of this animal
were solid and very heavy, to keep its
feet down in the water, while bones in
the upper half of its body were built in
honeycombeu layers Us thick as paste
board, strong, but very light and buoya
in water. This monster has been named
Amphicoelias fragilissinaus, and must have
been considerably over 100 feet in length.
Both animals have large and powerful
tails like kangaroos, and when catching
heir food iu The water must have ap-
peared as if on three-legge' oois, the

Peanuts.

The tenth annual review of the Tenne-
see Peanut crop, recently published by
Mellen Brown Il Co., of Cincinnati, gives
some interesting and important figures
They give the statistics for three years,
which may be summarized TINS: For
1S76-77, total supply, 1,513,00O bushels
total consumption, 1,1S7000 bushels.
For 1S77-7S, total supply, 1,121,000 bush
els; total consumption 1,O66,OOO bushels.
For 1S7S-79, total supply. 1,435,OOO BUSH

it will thus be seen that the potential
peanut industry, is still ON the grand
increase.

located in low, isolated range c
mountains, about u or II mile
east of the Rio Grande. The S
mines cover quite an! extensive
area ground-pr probab]ts12 miles
s9uare-and the minerals found
are gold, silver, copper, lead, iror
and coal. Gold has not, as yet
been discovered in any consider
able quantities, though all of the
silver leads cary more or less OF
that mineral.
The city of Santa Fe contains a
population of nearly 10000 souls,
5000 Of whom are Mexicans, and
is now acknowledged by all to lie
the oldest city in the United
States.
Yet notwithsta 1ding this fact,
she has steadily enjoyed her Rip
Van Wrinkle like sleep right
alongside of these mines for the
mines for the past 200 years. Last
February the Rocky Mountain
Sentinel, a weekly newspaper
published in Santa Fe, began call
ing attention to this district, the
result of which has been the re-
discovery of the Los Cerriii0s sill
yer mines.
These mines were extensively
worked in the dark, dim ages
of the past" by The Spanjards,
principally for silver, and so far
IS any information OF their work
ings can be OBJ .ained, with large
results.
1t is we'll known historically
that after the conquest of Mexico
by the Spaniards, the principal
business carried on by the con-
querors was that of mining, and
tradition tells us that their re-
ceipts in this line were enormous.
The Indians were reduced to SER
vitude and compelled to do the
mining. This they endured un.
til the year 1880, when a general
uprising took place. .and the Span
iards were driven from the cOun-
try. On their return, some years
later, the Indians refused to sub
NIT to their rule, except upon
the condition that the mines
should not be reopened, and that
they should never again be de-
prived of their personal freedom.
These conditions were accepted
and kept in good faith. and the
consequence was that these mines
remained untouched during the !

rule, Many Of thses old minesara .

Twenty-Five assays have been

in the debris, the lowest of which

the average being about $104 per

ings on this vein, in which
some work seems to have been
done, though ats present these
openings are nearly or quite filed

its outcroppings for full mile
and a half. Another old. mine
situated about two miles south
east of the last named, and from
which small quantity of ore
was smelted as an experiment,
gave about $75 per ton. The Ger
rillos mines proper, are situated
along canyon known as the
"Canada de las minas," (Glen
of the rnines) and consists of
number of old Spanish mines,
all of which have been pened
years ago and worked to a great
er or less extent. Probably the
principal one is the Nina Del III

there is no mine in New Mexico
which has been better developed

this one. Yet no one knows.
nor is it possible to ascertain its
full extent. except at considerable
expense and labor. There are
two open shafts on the vein, and
two that have been filled up.
The crevice is fully five feet wide.
The main, or discovery shaft,
follows the crevice, dipping with |
it 80 degrees to the north west.
About 100 feet southwest of this
shaft is a vertical shaft, opened
some 80 feet from the vein, at,
or near the surface, but
striking it at depth of two feet.
At this depth the two shafts are
connected by a level, or drift,
which 1 found on exploration to
extend along the vein fully 800
feet. There are also other levels
above this point, but of their ex-
tent we could get no informa. lon.
This old Spanish mine has been
opened to depth Of 200 feet,
though whatever there may be
of the mine below the first men
toned level is filled with water,
and doubtless has been since its
Abandonment. There is no doubt
that in nth"~ eilvo- mines,

what may be expected Of other
mines and leads IN the neighbour {
