nc this place, last Monday.
DIR. Haskell has in his cabinet a crys-
tallized facsimile of a strawberry
patch from the American Flag. r
l.. Corson turned out FIVE hundred
adobes the first OF. this week. This is
the first manufactured this season.
The Black Range mining district will
soon have a visit from the mining edi-
tor of the New Mexican. He comes to
do the people good.
The hanging lamp in Joe Aragon's
saloon bursted last Sunday night. 1t
came near running the billiard table
over which it hung.
How about that school-house? There
are quite a number of young i%nnOcents
in town that might be at school il they
had a school TO go to.
The number of passengers in from
Engle on Monday made it necessary to
put on an extra. We hope it will not
be long before this will be the invari-
able rule. sf
Chas. G. Hall, travelling correspon-
dent of the Las Vegas Gazette, came
into the range on last Wednesdays
stage for a few days s~ojourn among the
camps
Charley Winters folded his tent and
silently stole away" the other day TO the
house heretofore used by Rickert for
sleeping apartments for translents.
Charley has purchased the building and
is fixing il up for an assay office.
The Chloride Shovel brigade" turned
out in force, and in full dress, last Sat
urday, headed by Col. !. IL. Gray, pro-
ceeded to repair the city "water-works."
Bravol Every street in the main part
of town is now supplied with water.
II. Armstrong, G. ]. Case, and John
Slit, of Carthage, Mo, are registered at
the Chloride hotel. They arrived last
Monday night with Major b ebe. We
understand these gentlemen will make
this their stopping place for some time.
1t has not been long since a trip to
the Palomas by one or a party of Chic
rides citizens was deemed worthy of
note, but now it is an everyday occur
renee, and travel back and forth over
the Palomas road is as frequent as be,
tween here and Grafton.
Prof. G. II. Hand, of the Colorado state
schoolof mines, is in New Mexico. He
is booked for hire. HOPE he will come
and see u camp. He ls II of the
most promising young men in the west,
and is gaining a high standing in the
school with which he is connected.
Reports from Hermosa continue to
lie of the most lattering kind. Tom
Miller made Il rich strike on his claim
last Tuesday, the NAME Of which We
were unable to learn. The Silver Brick
is showing itch mineral, and native sill
yer is becoming more profuse in the
Palomas Chief. ,tft
DR.. Haskell has in bis Office nine beau.
tiful specimens from the Peri claim
The pure native stuff in these specimens
surpass anything the Doctor has yet re.
ceivcd. They are the most animated
specimens we have seen for some time
and speak volumes for the claim from
which they were taken. Peri is doing
well.
Trumbor and Beebe have received
proofs of the maps of the Black Range
and Apache mining districts prepared
by them. These maps are to be color
ed Autographs, showing the claims OF
the two districts and the trails an6
wagon roads. Those wishing to obtain
a copy will leave their orders witt
Trumbor e Beebe or DR.. Haskell.
Thomas Yates and Frank lie Craft
are sinking a shaft on the Highland
Chief, which was recently bonded By
Won Wendt and Westerman. Thi:
claim shows the most flattering indi
cations of being as rich in the precious
metals as any in this section. The first
shot blew out rock thickly covered will
chlorides and suphides. On four as
says recently made, the least return
was $500.
A manifest of the ores of this CAM
such as spoken of elsewhere made pub
lie would do much toward Fastening
emigration to the Black Range, and al
a result would have the rail road look
ing up It's project for building the sur
veyed branch line to Engle. There il
no equal number of miles of railroad
in the territory that would pay like
branch from Engle to this portion O.
