That Squirrel Hill Deal,

The most interesting movement during the
week, and the one about which most guessing
was done in real estate circles on Fourth ave-
nue., was that which comprised the sale of
nearly 100 acres of ground on Squirrel Hill,
bordering on Greenfield avenue as mentioned
in yesterdays DISPATCH. No certain infor-
nation could be had as to the purpose Of the
purchasers, but the most reliable intimations
pointed to the development of the ground by
passenger railway to Homestead, connecting
with the new Duquespe Traction Companys
venture. The Messrs. Burchfield were the
agents who negotiated the sale of these prop
critics. They have been very active and sue
cessful in that district,

A STRICKEN CABINET.

The msfortunes that have just
bcset two members of President
Harrison's Cabin t, have melted
the delivers after historic parallels
to get in their work, and, in the
line of reminiscence, tne of our
contemporaries, referring to the
tragic destruction of Secretary
Tracy's Warrington homo, says
this awful casualty may well call
to mind tragic event of Prcsi-
dent Tyler's administration. In
that case, too, the Secretary Of
State and the Secretary OF the y
were the prominent figures, only
instead of being mourlers they
were victims. The event alluded
to, was the bursting of the Peace
maker, on board the Princeton,
that occurred Feb. 2Sth. 1914.
The Princeton was in con III I'd o
Commodore Stockton, who gave
an excursion party down the Po-
tomac to President Tyler, his Cab
met, members of Congress, and
several distinguished ladies. The
affair passed off delightfully."-, al d
as the new war steamer neared the
navy yard on the return trip, the
company was called to witness the
best firing of the Pcaccmakor,
which threw a ball of 225 pounds.
1t exploded, wounding the Com
modore and several others, among
them Senator Benton, and killing
Secretaries Upshur, Of the State
Department, and Gilmer, of the
Navy, besides several other gentle
men of note. The memory of that
horror, dim now, made profound
impression on the count y at
time. The Tyler administration
never vuite recovered from the
shock and it will take Il long time
to lift from the present administra-
ton the heavy pall of the present
gloom.

EDITOR LEADER

EDITOR LEADER
From the thriving little village
of Cieniga Del-Macho VIC drittcd
to the rich mining district of the
Jicarlla Mountains, where we
found every gulch and canyon in
habitcd and worked by the cner-
getic miners. Our first lcquaint
anees in those mining camps were
old Bro. Spike and Mr.. Ross, the
owner of the Jicarilla Spring, the
only water in the entire district,
except muddy tank down at the
Hockradlc place.
The miners were all using dry
washers in separating the placer
gold from the sand, something we
had never seen before, as this was
our experience in a country SO rich
with gold. They all seemed to be
making money, and were clever,
happy and content. There were
at the same time, several shafts
being sunk on leads, or lcdgcs, and
WAS claimed to assay very rich of
gold. Stamp mills would have
paid at that time in many places
in the Jicarillas, if Il sufficient
supply of water could have been
found to run them.
But water sufficient to run sluicc
boxes and mills has always kept
the richest developments from be-
ing made in the Jicarilla district.
| believe it to he one of the richest
sections in New Mevico, but it will
take big capital to develop it. We
have seen many heaps of rock and
dirt thrown up in those gulches,
and on the mountain sides, by men
with more faith than money, who
had blown in their little stock, with
no show for it, only shallow.
worthless hole in the ground. -
But we have known others to make
Il good stake in "a short time. We
soon learned that such was life in
a miners mp.
About the time we &rrivcd in
this district, Biggs & Mcpherson
had begun n well in tie big canyon
on the Las Vegas road, just above
lIockradlc's tank. They were
hunting for water to run their saw
mill with, as the gulches and the
mountain sides aboundcd with fine
pine timber. But after some six
or eight months labor, having blast
ed through solid rock something
near Zoo feet. they quit it after an
expense of some 81, 900.
The miners in the district were
greatly in hopes that water would
be found in this well, as il would
save many Of them from having
to carry it in kegs over those high
on Il burro's back, on on
their shoulders.
After cruising about these camps
for Il time we felt our purse too
light to carry us any great distance
down into the earth in search of
the shining metal, so we began TO
for water, seeing that it
wa- an article very much needed
