Editor LEADER:
The trees begin to bloom and
bud, and we know spring-timc las
come again. The bear has shaken
off his lethargy and come forth to
green fields and pastures new. SO
with our mining camp, everything
is in a furry, each man has two
mems work to do.
Last Sunday there was a meeting
Of the miners here, but rs George
had mislaid his notes, he was not
prepared, and there being no hymn
book, Consbrock would not sing,
and therefore there could be no re
ligious services, SO it turned into a
business meeting:
C%onsbruck drew up a petition for
a highway from here to Nogal
Canon, to be constructed up Kraut
Gulch over the divide and to come
ont Just below Donovan's in Nogal
Canon. Mr.. George called the
meeting to order on said petition,
and it was agreed to build the road
at once, and G. \. Feast was elect
ed foreman, and Charles Berry as
treasurer to receive contributions
for the same, whcreupon all pres
ent subscribed six days work each,
except Col. Taylor, who said he
had more trees to take out Of the
road, up at his country residence,
than he could get done in the next
month, and he would give $40 to
show his good will. We all feel
sorry for the Col, the wind seems
to have a spite against him, and
intends to keep the road blocked,
west of him, so the tramps will be
compelled to stop and have a square
meal, or go up and see the great
bonanza.
This proposed road will shorten
the distance from here to White
Oaks ten miles, and the grade over
the divide will be no heavier than
that Of the present road up Moore's
hill, and as White Oaks is the base
Of supplies for this camp, we feel
sure White Oaks will take enough
interest in the matter to help us
ont.
Since my last letter, the China
man lode has proven as | predicted
it would, the shaft is 115 feet deep
and has over a 6-toot vein of pay
quartz /; they n still sinking, and
it grows richer every foot. The
Chinaman is on, what is known as,
the long lode; the groupings being
over 6 miles long, and located the
entire distance. / have seen a
: number Of assays from parts Of il
which run from 90 to 125 ounces in
silver per ton within ten feet Of the
, surface. | claim this to be the
best and largest lode in New MeXi
co. l see, Patterson 81 Watson,
and John a. lIelphingstine have
lately bought three CLAIMS on this
lode. The amount of money they
!, paid for the same, proves they
, know it to be way up. George Il
/, Stoneking, Feast & Dickson, Col
Taylor and Parsons are among the
lucky owners Of claims on this lead
The vein is u feet wide, of galen;
quartz; it carries black and grey
snlphurets and grey copper.

DEAD

Last Monday afternoon, about 1
o'clock, the spirit of Uncle Aaron
p. Livingstone vacated its earthly
tenement and swept up to Him who
made it. His mortal remains
were laid away on Tuesday, and
the Oldest citizens say that the flu
neral was the largest ever seen in
White Oaks. Arriving at the
cemetery Mr.. M. Branham read a
few appropriate passages Of scrip
ture which he supplemented with
few remarks touching the life and
death of the deceased. A choir,
consisting of Mrs. +. w. Parker,
Miss Ida T%aliaferro, Jones Talia-
ferro and FL. r. Bonnell rendered
some delicious music, after which
John \. Hewitt made a short
speech, commenting upon the life
of Uncle Liv," dwelling particu-
larly upon the fact thathe had ever
borne the character of an honest,
incorruptible man. His illness
was protracted and painful, but he
bore it patiently and hcroically.
He was oneof the pioneer miners of
this County, and in the large circle
of his acquaintance he passedfrom
life unto death without an enemy.
Jerry H~ockradlc, who in prosper
ity and adversely stood the firm
friend of cold Liv," wishes us, in
his name, to accord all honor and
praise to James S. Redman and w.
S. Hathaway for the devotion they
showed the deceased while i'll.
Through them, the last hours Of
the old gentleman were shorn o.
much pain, and the transition from
life to death rendered as agreeable
as possible.

VARIOUS VERSIONS
OF the Manner In Which Joe Butler Was

4 was reported'in yesterdays papers that
Joseph Butler, a young man Of the Eighth
ward, had attempted TO take his life by
shooting while at his brothers saloon In Bel.

Butler was alone. He locked the
front doors, turned out the light and
went 10 the resr door. He then noticed q
man in the yard, and asked what he wanted.
The man replied, "None Of your business"
and advanced. Butler drew heavy revol.

shoot. The man made sudden rush for
