The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1883-08-03

The Black Knife has got between
two and three feet Of first-class mineral
in sight that needs no sorting, and con.
siderable of lower grade. The in
cline being run is Axe IN solid mineral
the upper three feet being by far the
best ever seen IN the mine.
G. II. Laidlaw has spent the whole
week hunting mineral 10 the Cuchillo's
for the CINCINNATI exposition. MI. l..
would consider it a favor If those hav-
ing mines they wish represented would
leave good average specimens to the
weight of thirty or forty pounds at his
office for this purpose, by tomorrow
night.
A new strike was made by J.P. 0lney
in the Cuchillo mountains a short time
ago and Messrs. Taylor & Brockway
purchased IN interest in the property,
giving MI. 0lney a fifteen foot contract
on it. At Il depth of six feet, when
visited last Sunday, about eighteen in
ches of fine mineral was exposed.
The property is known as the Silver
Tip, and under the progressive manIpu-
lation of the owners will soon be found
valuable or worthless.
Jake Blum has retured from his
southern tour and reports Silver City
as having a big building boom with
other business comparatively dull. The
Bremen mine is working and is con
sidered the only pay mine at present
though there is considerable work be
ing done and some good properties
showing up. At San Jose a thirty OF
t~hirty-five ton smelter has Just beer
erected and will likely be heard from
soon. Everything dull along the route
of travel between Silver City and this
point.
The baseball game between the Chic
ride and Fairview mines played herr
last Sunday SURPRISED everybody by tn,
N,mount of good playing shown. Tn,
game resulted in a score of ten to min,
in favor of Chloride. In the last in
ming considerable dissatisfaction wa
shown on the decision of the umpir,
putting a base runner out on the HON,
plate, which would have made the run
even. That the decision lost Fairviev
the game, there can be no noubt. But
whether right or wrong, there was n,
need for the insulting language tina
was used in regard to it after the gam
was over. An umpire's position is
very thankless one at best and whel
anyone at the request of both sides con
sents to act as referee his decision
right or wrong should be accep te,
without such a display of boorlsh an
ungentlemanly conduct as was show,
On this occasion.

A new stock of ladies and children's
shade and riding hats are just received
at the Chloride Millinery
A. j. Bowie, a mining expert from
San Fracisco and a gentleman of edu-
cation and experience in his profession,
is expected to visit the range i'm a day
two to report upon properties here for
the enlightment of California capital
lists, who are interested in the work of
which Moses Thompson has had charge.
G. A. Cassil arrived at Chloride this
week and went out to the ranch with
Mr.. DUNES. He reports that the suit
for the Gray Eagle mine, situated on
the south Percha was decided against
the Chloride claimants in the Silver City
courts through the testimony of per-
jured witnesses. A new trial was
asked for which will probably be grant
ed. The suit against MIR. Castle, indi
vidually was nolle prosed. MI. C. de-
parts for his return trip home, in the
morning.
The base ball nine which Chloride
hastily gathered to play the Fairviews
was constituted as follows: Catcher,
"A. H.. Norton; pitcher, j. M. Shaw; LIST
base, c. f. Winters; End base, E. G..
Johnson; Sd base, S. r. Biggs; short
stop, W. o. Thompson; left field, Aus
tin Crawford; right field, j. G. Wright;
left field, G. IL. Cady. The score of ten
to nine was a little remarkable consid-
ering the fact that neither side had had
much practice and the Chloride men
none at all. The return game at Chic
ride next Sunday, will, without doubt
exhibit some fine playing. If there
was any money in it the Black range
could rally a nine to scoop the territory
on base ball.
c. c. Harris took his departure for
Kansas City yesterday morning where
he goes to personally confer with a
firm engaged in manufacturing photo
grapher's supplies, with reference to a
new invention for which he has made
and applied for patent. His nven-
ton consists of an automatic shutter for
the camera opening which is almost in
Simultaneous. The cover works from
the inside, is fastened To n side of the
opening by a hinge and can be oper-
ated at any given distance by simply
pressing a rubber ball, which by freeing
air into a cylinder works a piston which
raises the lid. BY this means different
exposures can be had upon different
parts of the object taken, and this
admits of better results upon clouds
and many other things than the usua'
method. In the matter of taking pho
tographs of infants the operator is en-
abled TO expose the plate without at,
tracing the attention of the child and
by using instantaneous plates the pic
ture can be caught at some quiet inter
val. The Kansas City gentlemen men,
toned are very favorably impressed
with the value of the invention and Mr.
Harris is promised a good thing in per
hitting them to manufacture the arti
Giles.

The Socorro Sun in speaking of the
Robinson who was skinned of his
money by a gambler at the county seat,
was mistaken in saying that it was the
late partner of Van Epps. The partner
of Van Epps is selling tons and tons OF
hay from his ranch On the ella, and he
has not been in SocOrro for a year OF
more. The Robinson mentioned by the

Cotton is being rapidly picked
out, and if it continues opening as
fast as it has for the last few weeks
our farmers will have gathered
their entire crops before cold
weather.
Mrs. Fannie Purcell was quite
sick Monday.
Jasper Hardeman has nearly
completed his new dwelling, which
adds considerably to the appear
ance and value of his little farm.
j. B. Short is having a fish
pond constructed just below his

The school at Shorts Academy
began with 80 pupils instsad of 30,
as 1 announced in my last letter,
and it now numbers 81 regular
pupils.
The meeting at Trinity result
ed in about 8 conversions. Rev.
Thomas II. Davenport preached
several very able sermons for us.
Two young Hunters arrived
in our community recently. One
of them Is a very expert marksman,
especially with Cupid's darts. He
threw one of his darts recently III
to the heart of one of our fairest
birds Miss Ida White), and on
last Sunday captured her. May he
always have as good luck when
hunting. The other young Hunter
is wee bitsy" sportsman who
will call Mr.. Joe Hunter papa in a
few years; and if he lives to see the
18th day Of Sept. 1904, he too may
be an expert marksman with Gu
pid s darts; and can go a hunting
without his papa's consent.

Rev. j. A. Parker of the Mis-
sionary Baptist church held pro-
tracted meeting in grove (the
woods were Gods first temples) in
this community, at which there
were about twenty conversions, fif-
teen Of whom joined the Baptist
church, the Methodist getting the
remainder. 1t is but just to say
that several of the converts were
backslidden Methodists.
&C. C.Rose mashed a finger near
ly off some time since and suffered
a great deal from it since, but he is
able to work now.
&C. Vaughn is remoddeling and
repainting his house which adds
greatly to to the looks OF the town.
Mrs. j. M. Parker is slowly re-
covering from a sewers spell of sick
ness.
j. C. Rose will close up his
shop here IN a few days and en-
gage in the saw-mill business on
Weakly.
Crops are tolerable good here,
but the dry weathe is preventing
the farmers from preparing land for
wheat. Cotton picking has com
menced, and sorghum making is
somewhat advanced.

Mrs. Rutlege and Miss Johnnie

we know all this going to town means
something: however, We think we will
have something to write about the next
cold spell.
The fair certainly has been very
well attended by our neighbour
hood, if all attended that contemplated
being there. To make anything a sue

MIR. RalstOn expects to locate in the

dislike to give up such good citizens.
The concert passed off quietly at
Brick Church Academy last Friday
night, with an exceeding good attten-
u, -
some few interested in schools and the
improvement and cultivation of their
children. We are astonished at the
way which some parents are neglect
ing the proper and early training OF
their children, We would advise pa
rents to look well to the manner in
which their children are started, for it
is verified every day that when a child
is started on the wrong road or not
taught right at first that it remains so
all of its life. We are tor not less than
eight months free school, or not have
any at all until there is money enough
in the treasury to secure the services of
real first class teachers for that time.
And we believe every man in the coun-
ty would make greater efforts to send
all the time and each child would get
its pro rata, for the public funds are
not at all distributed according to the |
school laws, and we think that there
ought to be an Investigation. Every /
district should have as many good /
schools as she can support and not have |
any more; under the present system Of
the schools we will not /
have a good first class school in the |
county ia ten years; the good teachers
will have enlisted in other fields of la
Dor, and our schools will go back in
10 the old ruts. Ne Plus ULTRA.

The people of Giles county felt
themselves outraged by the system
of cotton weighing at the depot,
whether they were or not, and they
got law passed allowing them to
elect a cotton weigher. They then
elected him, and now by persistent
endeayor, the citizens and farmers
have prevailed upon the railroad to
compel its agent to cease interfer-
ance. If after all this the farmers
do not unanimously support and
uphold Mr. Ross they will forfeit
all right to demand relief when
they again fall into the hands of
the Philistines. Depend upon it,
free weighing and fair offers of
free scales, eEo., Will be made you,
but you will lose in the long ran #
you do not stand squarely together
and support the man you have Sc
lected TO weigh for you. Let the
farmers talk so that all may under
stand and be prepared to reject free
scales when they come to town.
