A New Mexican Turquoise Mine.

For the first time in two hundred
years the old turquoise mine in Chal-
chute mountain, New Mexico, is being
reopened. In 1850 work was suspended
on the mine, the cause being the caving
in of the shaft and the subsequent death
of some one hundred Indians who were
at work below. An attempt made by
the Spanislrto force the Indians to be-
gin again and reopen the shaft led to a
rebellion, and probably was one of the
causes which forced the Indians to an
uprising and tho subsequent expulsion
of their rulers from the country. The
extent to which these mines have been
worked may be conjectued by the vast
amount of debris lying around the old
shaft. covering no less than fifteen
acres of ground. This mine is the only
turquoise mine on the continent, and as
the gem has always market value, it
will ere long be one of the recognized
sources of wealth Of New Mexico.

VERSES FOR d LETTER.

Did you send out a little white moth
ON an GRAND tonight?
For one lowered and fingered about
With ffutter so light:
A tired little moth, with his wings
Like Hover that had blown
Ali away on the breaih b OF n wind
That had kissed IL and flown.
Did you tell him to hurry, and ny
Through the shadows so fast,
because I would wait nlf alone
TIL the twilight was pastg
For later tho lamps would be lit,
And should go down
Tolisten to laughter and talk
OF the news of the town.
But my own time Ii just at the hour
While the clouds fnde away:
could not help wishing for you.
And my thoughts were astray.
And the little white moth fiuttered in
With the love you had sent.
My heart in that minute could tell
Just the words you had meant.
I know we were so far apart,
I was tired and sad:
But the little moi brought me your love,
And then was glad.

A Cattle Disease.

For some time past, cattle in Eastern
Nevada have been affected with a dis
ease called the ''blackfoot This dis
ease is now gradually spreading west
ward. We learn from A. d. Wilcox,
who resides near the Lander county
line, that several cattle up the Hum
boldt have the disease. It's first symp-
toms are shown by great desire on the
part of the animal to scratch. This is
followed by one of the animals limbs
turning black. The disease rarely
proves fatal to full-grown animals, but
several calves and yearlings have died
from its effects east of Battle Mountain.

him to the mine to look at the find.
The miners cut into the ore body over
two feet before Woolcock started to

considerable trouble jury of twelve

six having been for acquittal and six

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud-
den changes of temperature-rain, wind
and sunshine often intermingled in a

from this cause. A bottle of BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, large doctors bill, and per-
haps death, by the use of three Or four
doses. For curing consumption, kem-
orrhages, pneumonia, severe coughs,
Group, or any disease of the throat or
lungs, its success is simply wonderful,

THE TEACHING PROCESS.
Old Waste bumps at Mines.

Utilizing Old Waste Dumps at Mines.
Messrs. Harris & Bose, practical men,
who thoroughly understand the leach
ing process, have made arrangements
with the owner of the Gem mine,
eighteen miles south of town, in Sierra
District, to work the mine and the ores
on the dump. They are now erecting
teaching works at the mine, and they
intend to sift the dump and get all the
rich chloride ores which it contains, to
work. Mr.. Harris, who has visited
several mines in this county, says there
are thousands OF dollars in many of the
dumps which can be saved by the leach
ing process. This is particularly the
case where there are chloride ores, as
they can be leached without roasting.
He says the cost of asserting the
dumps and separating the silver does
not exceed 81 per ton, where the ores
can be treated without roasting. They
think they will erect small mill for
crushing ores at the Gem next Spring.

there is no railroad building in the

people who live in the vicinity are Pc
titioning the Postoffice Department to
establish a postoffice at the place, and
the railroad company to build a freight
