took from the Black Tail location. a
recent discovery of his situated about
a mile and a half south of the Ameri-
can Flag below Hermosa. MIR. Mooney
has taken out some ten tens of the ore
which lies IN the lime like all its neigh
bors. The ore looks well but its value
has not yet been determined by assay.
Mr.. Mooney is at work this week on
Chloride creek properties which have
a favorable showing.
The BLACK RANGE hears it stated al
though by what authority 1t knows not
that the reason why r. G. Ingersoll did
not take his contemplated trip into the
range was because of threats which
came to his ears of violence against
him intended by the men who failed to
get their full salaries when employed
on the ranches last year. If the infor-
nation was correct it is safe to say
that Bob's fears were grOundless for he
would have been given no more yio-
lence than the tongue can infiet and
probably not that.
The gigantic piece of patriotic SYM
bolism, the BarthOldi statue of Liberty,
the pedestal for which is now rising
out of New York harbor, has been
graphically transferred to our office
through the courtesy of the Travellers
Insurance company of Hartford, a cor
poration which is getting famous for
good deeds of this character. The
company has prepared especially for the
American press an edition of the Off
cial engraving of the great statue and
has sent a copy to every newspaper in
the land. This engraving being issued
under the auspices, and for the Pedes-
tai Committee, this act of the Travel
ers" involves its contribution of over
$1,700 toward the erection of this Splen-
did national monument.
The number of stockmen who now
occupy the country in Socorro county
west of the Rio Grande river, has be-
come sufficient to warrant a local pro-
tective association organization, and
! many of the cattle owners are ag-
itating the matter with a view of per-
fecting such organization here at Chic
. ride on the LIST day of April. The cat
7 tie men of the territory are getting a
pretty thorough organization. Nearly
every district has its association. every
county has its association, and the ter
ritOry has its stock association fully
perfected. 1t looks very much as if
r the days of the great American rustleI
in New Mexico had we'll nigh drawn tC
e a close. The completion Of the socle'
, ty organizations now begun, will effec
tually bar out thieves from the BLACK
range.
= II. N. Castle was called back to To

stockholders of the Black Range Mill
ing company and the Southwestern
Mining company which are held thi.
V week. He took his departure from thu
d range for the trip Saturday last and ex
poets to be back as early as Monday
0 next. A gentleman from the range
who did neither himself nor any body
e else any good thereby, had been giving
t the Milling company gratuitOus con
t lectures regarding their enterprise herr

upon the stock of the institution an(
