cattle and were consequently In better
condition for beef. They cane down
the river opposite the headquarters Of
the gAng and they took them In with
impunity. The rustlers were very sly
m their operations and the detective
policy adopted wherein Ike LYDIA
worked himself into the gang and
took notes and memoranda Of their
exploits to use as evidence was about
the only means by which they could
be detected.
}, A Mexican from Canada de AlamOsa
rode a ,bOrs belonging 10 Harry
Chandler and Johnny Goodman away
from the neighbo-hoOd OF their camp
in the north Cuehinos, one day last
week. The boys followed the trail TO
below Las Palomss and back TO Canada
ae Alamosa where they found the ami
nal in the hands Of the alcalde. The
Mexican claimed. when leaving the
horse with the officer that he had found
1t damaging his crops and had used it
in compensation for damages aud be
gave IL up without charge. The ma
tive was seen To take the horse and II is
! also krown that no damage was done
B The BOYS are laying for a chance TO get
! even with h chap who made them 80
! much trouble. Prospectors In the
. north end of the Cuch...os complain Of
! the troublesome natives.
( The soldiers; from Fort stanton who
exchanged places with the Arizona
troops when making their trip through
this country crossed the river on the
Engle road ferry and turned south to
60 around the south end of the range
taking the short road from Cuchillo
Negro town TO Lake Valley. Persons
who have travelled that road can i'm
: agine the pleasure with which the out
tit encountered the Palomas. Arroyo
+ Seco and Animas creeks and the ex-
e petition with which those heavy wag-
ons we're pulled out of the canyons of
n those streams. At Arroyo Seco they
I put two days work on the road and
G at the PalOmas they did considerable
work. The result is that the road is
n considerably easier to travel than 1t
used to be. The guide who chose that
e route was evidently n friend TO the
y people here.
The Cora is 0 prospect situated in
t. the north end Of the Cuchillos n couple
of miles from 0jo,C aliente, which gives
e promise of making a mine. 1t IS the
y property of the .Cloudman brothers,
Chandler and Keller, and Johnny
n Cl0udman Chandler and Keller have
a been working II for several months
d past, being noE taking a holiday ovel
h the fourth. They have a shaft down
10 over a hundred feet and have begun
Ie drifting from the bottom. The ore /.
'e galena and lead carbopstes running
e from fifty to seventy-iive per cent. u
is lead and ten to Efteen dollars in silver
The pay streak has been remarkably
continuous averaging two and u hal
feet wide. There is over a hundred
tons of ore on the dump at present buI
. the grade is too low to make it possibl,
to do anything with It. The owner
. reason wisely that the chances ar,
- greatly in favor of this crevice leadiny
- to a larger or a richer deposit of orr

everlasting fortunes.
40 The Kingston Clipper took an old Gu
10 1t found lying about the Office, set tn
NJ name of Isaac LYDIA under 1t and thel
n printed 1t along with a half-columl
10 article which contained hardly a grail
r. of truth as representation and exposi
N tion of the cowboy detective and hi
exploits. 1t was a cheeky performanc
to send out such p production anon
~ the people who know LYDIA best, an
who are therefore prepared to contra
II dict it, and il the Clipper persists il
such work it will establish a repu
b. tation of u%nreliahillty which is no
- pleasant to bear. LYDIA is smootI
49, faced and light complectioned and
:. not more than twenty-one years ole
49, He was in the employ of N. Grayso
,e Il Co., and worked himself into the col
- fdence of the rustlers only for the pul
!. pose of collecting evidence to us
against them. The result shows tha
49, he did his work well. The Clippe
should know that when a newspape
ceases to be truthful 1t loses its valuI
