year, bat the weather recently has
bean 80 wet over the state that
threshlng could not be done. This
accounts for the great scarcity Of
oats for feed through this section.
shippers telegraph that IL Is almost
impossible TO get the grain In con-
ditlOn TO ship.
d. ]. Jonea, recently appointed
road overreer, has been Instructed,
so we are Informed, 10 report the
necessary material 20 repair the
bridge across the Gallsto at Cerril-
los to the board OF county COM
mIssloners, at once, so that the
lumber eau be supplied and the
bridge repaired. at present the
floor Of the bridge Is In an unsafe
condition.
To grit and muscle the opening
up Of most Of the great producing
mines OF the world Is indebted.
True, luck has occasionally stepped
in and made mining appear like q
lottery, but chance will no more
apply 10 systematic mlnlag or pros
peeting, than to any other business
In life. The tenderfoot may stum-
BILE on q mine by accident, but the
experienced prospect0r and hardy
miner have discovered and pros
duced the worlds money metal.
A public meeting Of the miners
and clalm-owners of San Pedro and
Golden ie called for Saturday night,
August %, to effect arrangements II
possible to employ Judge Warren,
OF Albuquerque, to represent them
in looking after the case OF the
mineral Va. the grant claimants, to
come up In the United States su-
premo court at Washington In
October. The Judge Is well Rc-
quainted with the case, he having
carried q ."rough the courts 80 far
20 a successful issue, and Is thought
TO be the proper man to represent
the mineral rights In the higher
court.
II smelters at other points under
heavy expense to ship In coal coke,
lime and iron for iiuxing, can have
made fortunes in the treatment of
ores, why is it that Cerrlllos, with
every advantage for the cheap
treatment of ores and the ore itself
in sight, must 30 long beg for an
industry Of this kind. Before q
smelter could now be put up, an
amount of 70 to 100 tons Of ore and
concentrates per day could be sup
piled IL from south Santa Fe cOun-
ty mines, with Il prospect that this
amount would be steadily in
creased. Then the cheapness OF
treatment here would make IL pos.
sible for a good plant to draw from
the whole Territory, Mexico and
Arizonh. There Is really no limit
to the amount of business possible
in such a field.
Isabal Amanda, the 15.year. old
son Of Manuel Amanda, one of the
smelter employees, was the victim
OF most shocking accident ON last
Friday morning. He and another
boy had had little quarrel over
some matter short time previous
and when they met again one oil
them had g rifle which the other
tried to seize. In the scufile il
went off, the ball tearing the entire
top Of young Aranda's head Off
His hat which had been knocked
of and was lying on the floor, wher
picked up had large piece of the
skull and matted brains sticking IL
1t. While 1t il presumed that the
shot was accidental and came abou
as above, it is not known to Ger.
tainty, nor could anything differen
be proven. The murdered DO,
was of kind disposition and 1
favorite with all.
Rev. Morton, of the Missionar,
Board, is expected to be present I,
