WONDERFUL MINERAL WEALTH.

What Professor siiIimnn Says AbOut New
nLexico's silver Mincs--CHfting Slabs or
silver with Hand saws.
AT q recent meeting OF the American
Institute Of Mining Engineers at the
National museum in Washington, Pro-
fessor Eilliman made remarkable
statement concerning the extraordinary
min raj wealth Of New Mexico,
especially Of portion Of that Territory
but little known to the general public.
The new districts readily reached from
Mutt station, twenty-seven miles east Of
Deming and twelve miles from DAILY,
where the mining deposit spoken Of has
been uncovered. The region is known
as Lake valley, and nestles in the foot
hills OF the Mimbres mountains. The
mineral wealth recently disclosed is in
the shape OF silver ores in various de-
posits, including chlorides Of silver,
carbonates, gnlena embolite. chorite
and other minerals. In one Of the
shafts on the line of division between
the Sierra Plata and the Sierra Grande
mines, and at the junction Of the Stan
ton with the Lincoln claims, the ores
are so rich in silver as to render it
difficult to select sackful averaging
less than 1000 pounds to the ton, and
it is quite easy to exclvate from the
tender mass Of crystals Of horn silver
in the red iron ore with the simplest
means thousands of pounds Of ore
averaging from 5000 to 10000 ounces
in silver. A conservative measurement
led to the estimate Of not less than
{, 900 tons of ore of this richer descrip-
ticn, carrying at least 500 ounces to the
ton, and of the ores valued at 100 ounces,
and less than 500 ounces, q mass Of at
least 10, 600 tons, in an area of not over
one acre. of ground. The explorations at
this point were not over fifty feet in
depth, and, while the entire mass to
this depth was silyer-bearing, only
fourteen feet of the richer portion were
included in the measurement. Pro-
fessor EilIiman also spoke OF the very
rich sheets Of horn-silve which were
taken from the so called "Columbia
shaft" the deepest working yet sunk
on the Sierra mines-about eighty feet.
In sinking this shaft, which follows
what may prove to be regular vein,
there was sheet Of horn.silver found
on the foot-Eall from which slabs as
thick as the hand and many feet square
we're cut by hand-saW. A portion of
this very remarkable mass was exhib-
tied. The whole area embraced in the
four Sierra companies is about 800 acres,
and upon this area between twenty and
thirty exploratory shafts have been
sunk to very moderate depths. In most
81 these explorations silver has been
found, and always of the general char
Ecter already described. Metallic silver
Is sometimes, but rarely, seen. More
frequently the disguise Of the silver BY
lhe iron oxide is SO complete that q
casual observer, looking at the piles OF
lead ore lying about the numerous wind
lasses, would think the place was the
btock-yard >of an iron furnace rather
than a silver mine. The whole area over
which this remarkable class Of ores is
believed TO exist is about one mile
square.

4 Sad City Scene.

About II o'clock last night the cries
of little girl were heard by pedestrians
on O'Fallon and Twelfth streets, which
were so pitiful that those who happened
to be in the vicinity at that hour has
tened to the place to ascertain what had
happened. They found little girl
clinging to the hand OF q drunken wo-
man, endeavoring to prevent her from
falling. and exclaiming in agonizing
tones, as she sobled as though her little
heart would break:
"Oh, please, please help me take my
mother home, please do, won't you.
gentlemen 3"
The scene was indeed a touching one,
IS the little creature, poorly clad, stood
on the deserted corner under the gas
light looking pale and haggard. and
weeping as she clung to the hand other
drunken mother, who staggered and
cursed, and endeavored to push her
child from her presence. Men who
collected at the corner were SO deeply
touched by the child's grief that they
promptly came to her rescue, and took
the miserable woman to the address
given them. In the darkness, unat-
tended, the poor little child. who is not
seven years Of age, wandered through
the streets, heart broken and crying,
visiting saloon after saloon, until at last
she found her unnatural parent, the only
relative she has in the world. overcome
by intoxication, The life OF the girl
must indeed be terrible, for one SC
young and frail to endure. 81. Louis
