working there rs Il a'so does with the
mile Whgre tl4sa-sre 4 crowding the
dump and blocking operations. At the
smelt-r every thing run smoothly for
the last few days and Mr. Drake is sat
lsGed that be will experience no further
trouble in treating the Black Knife
ore. The smelter at its full capacity
on the present ore can tug. out about
day. l.
J. p. Armstrong will start next week
for California where he will lc1rhase
drove Of sheep. The present season is
an exceedingly dry one on the Pacific
slope and many big owners of stock
find it necessary to dispose of portion
of their animals or run the risk of hay
ing them all starve to death. The con-
sequence is that sheep are csheap
there and the opportunity is open for
making a little money go long ways
in the purchase of the same. Mr.. Arm
strong will put the animals upon his
Willow Springs ranch and start in to
become a millionaire.
The first bullion that ever was sent
out of the Black Range was shipped
last Monday, the bulk weighing about
$500 pounds. This will advertise the
county more than anything that has
ever been done. Bullion counts. 1t is
a language which cannot be misuDder-
stood nor denied. 1t is not idle breeze
concerning the question of whether
we have any of the precious metals
here but is solid fact which can be
proved by the figures. Col. Mutton
feels proud of the honor which he
merits in having produced this impor-
tant innovation in Black Range affairs
and he proposes to keep it up.

Thomas Malony has returned from
his trip to Arizona where he went as a
witness in a mining case in which he is
interested. He thinks his side will
come out all right.
D. II. Wenger is visiting SocOrro and
the cities along the railroad in the
interest Of the BLACK RANGE this
week. 1t is hoped at this Office that he
will be treated courteously and loaded
down with business.
A. Rush Bowe put three more men
at work on the Royal Arch properties
this week and has two men on each of
the three, viz: the Royal Arch, Lottie
and Lucky Loo. The prospects as far
as developed show good mineral in
quantities and are entirely satisfactory
to Mr. Bowe.
Everybody who visits the Palomas
and takes look at the rich showing of
mineral which has recently been opened
on several prospects there pronounce
them to be the biggest things yet
shown IN the range. Words refuse to
do justice and visitors can only ex-
claim wonderful! wonderful!
C.E. Klngsbury who had begun fitting
up his building on Main street prepara-
tory to having his wife come out from
st. Louis, has written to Mrs. r. to
not come since his movements are so
uncertain for this summer that he
thinks it better for her to remain where
she is. Mr.. Kingsbury proposes to
patent his best properties this year and
do no work until he can hire miners for
dry digging at less than four dollars
per day.
Col. M. g. Gillette, who formerly oc
cupied th responsible position of super.
intendent for the Sierra Grande mining
company, left Lake Valley on Tuesday
for the east, having resigned his posi-
ton. 1t is said that the Colonel will
locate in Idaho, but his plans and move
ments are not familiar to outsiders. He
says, however, that he will be back this
way in about two months. Col. Gillette
owns some valuable interests in New
Mexico, and his numerous friends hope
that they will be the means of calling
him to the territory frequently.-Lakt
Valley Herald.
Contrary to the general report tht
Occidental mine is not lying idle, Kear
st. Charles tells us, but has con
stantly employed six men engaged il
stopping out ore and placing it upon thu
dump. Kean st. Charles has not for {
moment lost faith in the property not
withstanding the unsatisfactory work
ings of and returns from the mill an(
he hopes soon to have associated will
him men of sufficient capital to q
/. ahead and give the ore a fair test
Kean is satisfied that the mill as it wa,
worked did not get the metal from tn,
rock and he wants a roaster or som,
other process added to supply the pres
ent deficiency. This he hopes to hav,
soon and then he will give the propert,
a fair test.

Complaints are coming in from
Browns park and neighborhood, of the
wholesale slaughter of elk and deer for
their hides, by the Indians from the
Uinta agency, Utah. Over one hun
dred bucks with their squaws, are at
present on Little mountain, and they
are literally s%trewing the country with
the of fat elk and deer. Not
a knife is put into the meat, but it is
allowed to lie on the ground and rot.
or be the food for wild cats and coyotes
Thousands of pounds of the finest kind
of human food are thus wantonly vast
ed. The small pittance obtained from
the sale of the hides incites the Indians
to this destruction, and to crafty the
inclination for a few dollars, our set
tiers have TO suffer and are powerless
to check the wong. There is a great
hellabaloo raised If an American citi-
zen without a red tape passport hap
pens to place his foot within the lines
af an Indian reservation, but the red
men are petted and allowed to roam at
will, carrying with them death and ex-
tlrpation to all u native game. 1t
Will be IA gala day for America when
our government will learn how to han
die her wild red men.

The Carson (Nev Appeal is respon.
sible for the following remaI kable snake
story: Last Thursday night as the
stage was coming from Markleville the
road seemed to get very heavy near
Woodford's can IN. The nearest horses
seemed to have harder work at every
sep. Finally they stopped to rest just
this side of W~oodford's station, and
when the driver attempted to start
them they could not pull an inch. He
dismounted and took a lantern to ex
anime the running gear, when he
found, as he supposed, that a rope had
been tied between the two wheels.
Laying his hand on the rope he started
back with a yell of terror on discover
ing that a live snake had twisted itself
between the Lind and fore wheels and
was holding the stage securely. The
reptile had been trying to block the
stage for several miles. and when the
horses stopped for a rest improved the
opportunity to tighten the coils so as to
effectually prevent the stage from start
ing again. The passengers got out and
killed the snake, which was a noun
tain runner, and measured twelve feet
four inches.
