fereut characters, to the four traceabe
periods Of the volcanic times. The last
of these eruptions took place evidently
after the deposits of which the plains to
our west consist (cretaCeous) were made.
and it is to this class of eruption to which
the partly desintegrated, partly undis-
turbed lava fields which cover the mesa
above La Bajada, the top of White Rock
canon on the east, ETC., belong. The
main point of eruption there was what is
now called the "TitiIla Peak" plainly
visible from the city, on the west. The
hills farther north are Of the same origin,
and the "crater," near their northern
end, is undoubtedly the remnant of a
point Of the eruption in that particular
place.
The walls OF the old volcano, proper to
which this went" belongs, are easily
distinguished; two opposite cones looking
ike chlmneys being least dsintegrated,
while a dyke on the south side seems to
form there the boundary line of the vol
cano. Below, at the foot OF the hills, are still
some deposits OF lava. The crater itself,
about twenty by thirty feet wide, has
measurable vertical depth Of about 1G0
feet, but as the walls incline toward the
south, it is impracticable to measure any
farther down.
The interior of the present valley Of
this remnant Of former convusion, is
covered with nice groves of cedar and
pinon, the crater is easy of access and the
view from the top of either OF the CHM
neys is really ground, the entire Santa Fe
range being spread out on the east, the
Rio Grande valley on the west. A good
road leads from the city via Aqua Fria to
this interesting spot, descending for about
ten miles aud then again gradually as
cending about four and half miles. The
tops of the crimneys are but about seven
ty-fve feet higher than the monument in
the plaza, but rise several hundred feet
above the surrounding lower plain.
| have no doubt that many visitor
from elsewhere would enjoy trip to this
locality on account of Its peculiarly and
it should have place in your enumera
lion of attractions offered by our city.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The new sec

at the cabinet meeting on Friday. This
belief is based on a letter received here

In GOWNS AND CAPS.


| A private letter from U. S. Attorney
Matt q. Reynolds, OF the court of private
land claims, announces that the officials Of
the court will likely leave Denver for Santa
Fe to-day or tomorrow. There is little
or no business before the court at Den
yer, and it Is now more apparent than
ever that Santa Fe will be the courts
permanent headquarters. Tuesday last
all the judges appeared on the bench clad
i'll black gowns and caps.
In an interview with Chief Justice
Reed by Denver Sun reporter his
honor said: "It is not likely that the
court will have any claims to adjust here
in Colorado My associate, Judge Stone,
who is Colorado man and acquainted
with land claims in tbs state, informs me
that nearly all the claims in the state
have been settled.
"Our jurisdiction is confined entirely to
Spanish ana Mexican claims, where the
question of title remains unsettled between
the claimant under Mexican and Spanish
grants and the United States government.
in New Mexico especially mary large
grants have been purchased by ranchmen
and occupied by their her'ls to which they
possess no valid title.
cat present possession is a good title in
New Mexico, SO long as man can keep it.
In some cases land is sold without any
deeds or records passing, the seller merely
taking his money and the purchaser TAX
ing possession. We propose to clear up
all the titles, ami such land as is held
without any valid claim will revert to the
public domain. At Santa Fe We shall
have plenty to do, as large number OF
cases have been filed there upon which
the court will have to pass"

drove away in proud, mysterious tri-
nmph. OF course he was beset with
questions from the loungers who had not
yet learned the name Of Jake Buggs'
visitor. But the hired man professed
ignorance upon that point. AS near as
he could guess, it was Queen victoria's
youngest daughter
OF course everybody knew the hired
hand didn't really mean it, but there
was not a man in the crowd who would
not have found it easier to believe they
had seen one Of the royal princesses Of
England ride away in Jake Buggs
spring wagon than to have believed it
was his daughter.
Somehow the impression prevailed
around and about Morgan's Mills that
the Buggses were childIess. Jane was
clad in black when she and Jake landed
at the Mills some eight years before.
Mrs. Buggs not only dressed in mourn
ing when they first saw her, but was
given to weeping a great deal. In time
she dried her tears, but her black hued
frocks and bonnets had never been laid
aside. Few Of the gossips at Morgan's
Mills had, however, stopped to think
that the poor woman had not bought a
new article of attire during those eight
years. Necessity continued her constancy
to mourning.

.g.e next year . man from the far west
Induced Jacob to swap farms, and he
went with his loyal wife to Morgans
Mills. OF course he had been cheated in
the trade, grossly beaten. From the
day he entered upon his new home
things went from bad to worse, until the
western farm had been mortgaged for
about all is was worth.
And in all those years neither Jacob
nor Jane had ever seen Rebecca. John,
in his selfghness, denied the girl the
privilege of going west during vacations
and the parents never possessed enough
ready money to carry them to New York,
even had they mustered the courage to
enter that wicked, danger beset city.
Meanwhile Rebecca had developed
into most beautiful, talented girl. Her
uncle surrounded her at school with
all the luxuries for her suite of rooms
that money could buy, and her ward
robe was the envy OF the school. Her
vacations were spent in the city or at
the seashore where she lived the en-
chanted life of youth surrounded with
wealth and the pleasures Of riches.
But one thought troubled her. That
horrid name, Miss Buggsi She thanked
heaven she had been born girl. and
therein was her consolation. Being q
girl she would some day marry and get
rid of that hated patronyTnic.
SO she was looking anxiously forward
to the time when her Uncle John would
take her from school, introduce her into
society and give some young man of
New York a chance to rescue her from
her nightmare.
And she had resolved in the innermost
recesses of her heart that no man should
ever lead her to the altar who had a
commonplace name. A Fitzallyn, a
Montmorency or a st, Cyr might do.
But no Hoag or Coons or Fox or Jay
would ever get smile from her.
Alas for the dreams of maidenhood
Uncle John was plunger. In one
day he lost every cent he could call his
own, and the climax was reached when
he blew out his brains without a thought
Of the girl he had taken frazn her home
eight years before.
That had occurred during the winter
preceding Rebecca's return to her parents.
BY selling few of the jewels which
she possessed she had been enabled to re-
main at school until she graduated, sew
eral months later. Then, without her
uncle's wealth and advice behind her, the
poor girl determined to return to her
parents until she could make up her
mind what course to pursue in life's
battle.
She had firmly declined the invitation
of her roommate to go with her and her
parents to Europe, but promised to pass
the winter with her in New York.
The saleo of her room furniture brought
enough to pay off some school debts and
secure her a railroad ticket to that far
off station at Morgans Mills, where we
now find her.

The dreary life which came to Rsbecca
at Bugs farm may just possibly be
imagined by a few who are unusually
gloomy of heart-it certainly cannot be
described. She knew she should, as
dutiful daughter, love her parents, and
yet she was painfully aware that she did
not Who is there to condemn the girl
for her lack of filial affection? She knew
her duty and declared in her heart she
would do it with heavens help; that is,
she would give these two simple minded
country people, to whom she owed her
existence, the reverence which is due
from the child to the parent. Respect
she could control: natural affection was
a growth of the heart, which refused to
spring up at the bidding of the mind
OF course she kissed her mother and
permitted her mother to kiss her That
was wholly feminine and signified moth
ing. Yet there was lack of that cor
diality which might be expected to exist
between mother and daughter after a
long separation. But Mrs. Bugs was
considerably awed if not terrorized in
the presence of this glorious creature,
and could not exactly convince herself
that she had brought it into the world
sixteen years before.
That afternoon Rebecca stro1led about
the dilapidated farm and managed pref
ty well to keep her spirits afoat by
strict attention to the honaely things

she belittle the offer Of such a mans
love? What had she or was she that she

1T WAS FOR THEIR DAUGhTER'b GOOD
Perhaps no American girl ever lived
who had such a strange history and
destiny as Rebecca Bugs. She had

Of drudgery, raised to a condition where
she had learned to yearn for luxuries,
society, and compapionship of the edu.
Gated. and at one fell blow was sent
tumbling back TO the plane from which
she started Better a hundred fold had
she never been taken from her lowly
station, I hear You say.
Her father, Jacob Bugs, had been
unfortunate all his life. He was fond
of complaining that the world was agin
him and that he never had no luck
nohow1
In spite of the fact that he worked
hard and stroYe nightly, prosperity
would not smile upon him. If the aver
age yield OF wheat in his county was
twenty five bushels to the acre, he could
count up but twelve or fifteen. The fly,
the rust or the army worm was sure to
favor his fields above all in the neigh.

usually began with Bugs swine and

been burned out as often as all the other
farmers in the township combined. Three

but swooped down upon Buggs' barn
and scattered it like chaff. Then il
bounded up into the sky and didn't come
down to business again until it struck
the next township.
His brother John probably monopo
hzed the family fortunes. At least Jacob
always thought SO Until quite recently
when he was forced to make up his mind
that i'll luck was the heritage of the en-
tire Buggs family.
John was seven years the Junior oil
Jacob. AT the age of fourteen he ran
away from the farm and lost himself in
the great city. In the course of time the
boy was looked upon as dead and buried.
He had been gone SO long without a
word Of news coming back from him
that to these retired country people it
appeared natural that John had been
murdered before he fairly penetrated to
the wicked center of the death dealing
