Death Cosby Notes and Personal
The Lucky mine people have cStab-
lished the 10th OF each month as pay day
for their employees. 5. u. Baldwin was
on the ground yesterday aud distributed
between $50, 900 and 5000 among the
hardy sons of toll. The copper rompanys'
pay day comes Oh the 18th OF each MONTH
and $35 900 to $40 900 more will tie dis
tributed in the San Pedro village. The
latter company pays off entirely incherkH
on the Second National bank of Santa re.
At present it probable that fully $l0o,Ooo
a month is paid out in wages in the san
Pedro district alone, to say nothing OF
what is being done at Dolores and Ger
rillos, which can not be far short OF ToO,OO0
more. This money represents the actuai
cost of production. OF course there must
be in addition to this Il handsome profit
for the mine owners. Surely these are
tangible evidences of our mineral worth
BoRDEN's DEATH.
Young Borden, the injured ore hauler
brought up from Cerrillos on Saturday
last, died OF blood poison on Sunday night
and was buried yesterday. The poor
fellow was in critical condition when

of his accident lave already been pub
lished. In crossing bad section of road
he was iostled off his wagon and some
fity-eight pounds of weight passed over
his leg. The wheel OF the wagon did not
cross suuarely over the limb but ran
parallel with the member, tearing OIL the
| t1eshy part of the leg at the cali. The
deceased was clever young man, giant
physically, and generally respected, lie
| leaves a wife and one child in almost des-
titute circumstances.
