Lincoln avenue, with not even smoke
between it and heaven, is the Baby's
home. 1t isn't modern house; in fact.
it is quite an ordinary square, brown
wooden structure; but It's wide front

expression of mOtherlineSs.
The bright glass in the door allows
glimpse of bare ball, absolutely spot

papered ceiling. Across the hall is the
nursery, which is to be changed to the
upper floor soon. 1t is papered in
deep cream color, and Oh the painted
floor is spread blue rug of Brussels
carpet. On the rug are spread babies
all sorts and conditions of babies; babies
in cribs, babies in chairs, babies in a
buggy, babies on the floor, and a whole
armful of babyhood in the matron's

LINK INES AND MINING.
THE OLD ABE.

Last November year ago marked an
era in the history of the White Oaks
mining district, which has been the
means Of bringing il into prominence
and has placed it In the front rank OF
the successful mining camps OF New
Mexico. This was occasioned by the
discovery OF new ore chute in the
"Old Abe" load.
Up to this time, the camp, Though II
had several valuable and paying mines
and had taken an occasional squirt into
life, only to die out again in short time }
was simply cristing, living in the hope of
a brighter future and railroad to de-
velop her varied and unequalled re.
sources.
To-day those hopes are, in measure,
realized, for 30 long as tho "Old Abe
continues to pour forth its riches, the
prosperity of the campts assured, while
the prospects for tho early construction
OF the railroad grow brighton every day.
In the month Of November, 1879, J. NJ

located mining claim on Baxter mount.
ain which thoy designated as the "Old
A be Lode"
Assessment work was done on this To-
cation up to 1882. Some good ore wa.
taken out but 1t appeared in deposits
and they wero unable to find the vein
from which these deposits had their
source. No work was done in 1882 OF
1888, and tho locators believing there
vas nothing there dropped it,
In 1881, Mcssrs. John i. Hewitt, VIM
Watson aud II, B. FERGUSON, located
the White Oaks and Robert e. Loo lodea
which together embraced part Of the
ground OF the Old Abe claim.
These gentlemen expended consider
able money running tunnel to dis
tance OF 100 tcat. 4 small vein was
found some time Htterward little
way from tho mouth Of tho tunnel, on
which a shaft was sunk to depth OF 7C
feet This last work was done in 1885
but wss diecotinued because the vein
was 30 small that it didn't pay to work
it.
In November, OF 1880, Mr.. Watson went
TO work l52 ioet south OF the old shaft
and opened on what afterward proved
to be the same vein, and unearthed q
bonanza. A rich body OF ore WAS found
a few inches from the surface, which has
continued down to the present depth OF
$50 feet. Tho vein varies In thickness
from four TO six feet. Drift No 2 was
run along the vein and tapped the old
shaft, thus securing thorough ventilation
for long time to come.
