The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1883-08-25

To Henry j. Patterson belongs
the credit of this new departure
in prospecting. He has abandoned
the porphery ledges, and shown
that rich fold bearing quartz ex-
lists in the solid granile formation.
The richest Of these new finds are
the Rita, the Lady Godiva, and the
Rose. The main difference ap-
pears to be that while the veins
with porphery castings are pockety,
those in the granite show quartz OF
uniform grade. The value OF
this revolution in developing this
camp has not yet been half appre-
ciated, and to mining men Of ex-
periencew we extend an invitation to
come and see for themselves.
The site of Leadville was inhab-
tied by wild animals that tramped
over untold millions. AS soon as
the truth was known a magnificent
city sprang up as if by magic. Rail
roads did not make that city the
wonderful resources Of that city
and section brought the railroads.
White Oaks is independent Of rail
roads.
Another thing: The starting of
two gold mills has qulckened eve
rything into renewed life. Every
prospector with pay ore can work
his mine now. He has market
at his dump. The very prospect
of a successful mill here had a per
ceptible influence; the actual pro-
duction Of bullion is destined soon
to surprise the mining public.
We have detailed some Of the
grounds Of the confidence becom-
ing manifest on every hand. The
grounds are patent though not pat
ented, and are worthy the attention
of mining men everywhere.

of the most important contribu-

and the rebels under Gen. Sibley.

forces resulted in driving the enemy

roads now august 1881 present
and centering from as many diff
ferent points ard along the valley
of the Rio Grande is simply won
derful. These railroads represent
in round numbers, fifteen hundred
miles of operated lines and all con-
structed and put in operation in
less than two years, and all since
the 30th day of November 1879,
the day dating the first crossing of
the boundaries of the Territory by
locomotive. The point crossed
was the Ration Pass. The railroad
crossing was the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, and which, with its
Southern Pacific connection at
Deming in the south, constitutes
one of the two great trans-con-
tinental railroad routes of travel.
RELIGION.
The prevailing religion is large

Territory Of Arizona constitute all
Archepiscopal See or Province of
this faith, with Santa Fe as the me-
tropolis, and His Grace, the most

The Jesuits as an organization are
represented in considerable force.
In addition there is a large force
Of priests. Protestant denomina-

copals in a new missionary jurisdic-
tion.

dists are represented in the princi-
pal towns by dozen ar more cler-
gymen on the ground and bid fair

in interesting, indeed captivating
style than any other citizen.
FOLLOWING THE RESTORATION OF
1894.
The events following the Span
ish restoration are to be found
largely in the accounts Of revolu-
tons, Indian campaigns and depre-
dations, and an occasional famine.
The population in 1899, as officially
stated, was %, 3,769 Spaniards, and
10000 mission Indians. Items
historical, from this date forward,
accumulate with accelerating pro
gression.
THE FIRST MERCHANDISE
was brought to New Mexico from
east OF the plains in 1904. 1t was
sent from Kaskaskia, Illinois.
Captain Zebulon Pike, U. S. A,
while making explorations in 1906,
unintentionally fonnd himself and
command on Mexican domain :;
and Governor Alencastor' soldiers
thus finding him, brought him a
prisoner to Santa Fe; and after a
few days incarcertion in the "Pal-
ace" he was sent to Chihuahua,
where he was released and sent
home, minus valuable papers.
IHh MbAlCAN REPUBLIC.
In 1921 came Mexican indepen-
dence, and in 1922 came to New
Mexico a government under Fran
els Xavier Chaves, as political
chief. The overland trade with
the United States virtually dates
from the same year. Events IA

Big Banknotes.

The largest amount Of banknote III
circulation in 1877 was II 900 1t is said
that two for tl0O, 900 each and two for ESQ
600 each were once engraved and issued. a
butcher, who had amaSsed an i'm -nense for
tune IN the war times, went one dav with
one of these 100000 notes to private
banker, asking for the loan Of 5000 and
wishing to deposit the big note as security
in the bankers hands, saving he had kept it
for wears The 5000 was at once handed
over, but the banker hiuted-at the same
time-to the butcher the folly of boarding
such sum and losing the interest. "Werrv
true, sir" replied the hatcher, "but likes
tother one Of the same Kind al home"
An eccentric gentleman in London framed
a bank post bill for t3D,0 900 and exhibited
it for five wears in one Of his sitting rooms.

Only a Wee Sick Lad.

In pottery factory here there is work
man who had one small invalid child at
home He wrought at his trade with ex-
emplary fidelity, being always in the shop
with the opening Of the day. He managed,
however, to bear each evening TO the bedside
of his wee lad" as he called him, flower,
a bit of ribbon. or fragment of crimson
ga>s-indeed, anything that would lie out
on the white counterpane and give color to
the room. He was quiet unsentlmental
man, but never went home al night without
something that would make the wan face
light up with joy at his return. He never
said TO living soul that he loved that boy
SO much. Still he went on patiently loving
him. And by and by he moved the whole
shop into positively real but unconscious
fellowship with him. The workmen made
curious little jars and cups upon their
wheels, and painted diminutive pictures
down their sides before they stuck them in
the corners of the kiln at burning time.
One brought some fruit in the bulge of his
apron, and another engravings in rude
scrap book. Not one of them whispered
word, for this solemn thing was not to be
talked about. They put them in the old
mans hat, where he found them, so he under
stood all about It and, believe 1t or not,
cynics, as you will, but it is a fact,
that the whole pottery full of men,
of coarse fibre by nature, grew quiet
as the months drifted, becoming gentle
and kind, and some dropped swearing as the
weary look on the patient fellow-worker's
face told them beyond mistake that the inev-
table shadow was drawing nearer. Every
day now some one did a piece of work for
him and put it on the sanded plank to dry,
so that he could come later and go earlier.
So, when the bell toled, and the little coffin
came out Of the Iowly door, right round the
corner, out of sight there stood one hun
dred stalwart working s-men from the pot
terry, with their clean clothes on, most of
whom gave half-day's time for the prlv-
lege of taking part in the simple procession,
and following to its grave that small burden
of child which probably not one had ever
seen.- CiRcinHati NerS-Jomnal.

Valuable Woods.

Next 10 French walnut ebony is probably
the most valuable. Occasionally fine piece
is found that brings even better price than
French walnut. For particularly large
piece even 50 pound might be paid. In
ebony the main thing is size, II is difficult
to get large pieces that can be used without
cutting. Rosewood and mahogany are al
ways in demand. The best mahogany is
that Of San Domingo. Next comes the ma
hoganies Of Cuba, Honduras, Mexico and
Africa. There is much less difference in
value between different mahoganies and
rcsewoods than between different specimens
of ebony and French walnut Fair rose
wood will sell in the logs for five and half
cents and seven cents pound. French
walnut can occasionally, if poor be bought
as low as three cents per pound, but the fin
er buris will sell for hundreds of dollars.
Burls worth from $500 to $1,000 each are
not rare.
