TIon the Headlight.
Word came up from Columbus last
evening that Pete Koebls, ranchman
down on the Mexican line well known in
Deming, is missing, supposed to be
murdered.

burned the Clifton railroad bridges in
Arizona in May last, was arrested in
Texas lately and pissed through here

The heavy machinery for the water
works plant will be in place next week,
and everything is expected to be in
readiness for laying the pipe to supply
this city with an abundance Of pure
healthful water in a few weeks. The
work is progressing rapidly all along the
line The cut under the Mimbres River
will be completed by the time the canal
reaches Deming, and which is now COM
plsted to within 0miles Of town.

The workmen in the deepest
mines of Europe sweltsr In almost
intolersble heat, and yet they have
never penetrated over ore seven
thousandeth part of the distance
from the surface to the center OF
the earth. In the lower levels Of
some of the Comstock mines the
men fought scalding water and
could labor only three or four
hours at a tinss until the Sutro
tunnel pierced!the mines and drew
off some of tie terrible heat. which
had stoodf df'at 100 degrees. The
deepest boring ever made, that at
Sperenberg, near Berlin, pene-
trates only 4,l72 feet, about 1000
feet deeper than the famous arte-
sian well at st. Louis. While
borings and mines reveal to us
only a few secrets relating solely
to tho temperature and constitu-
ton of the earth for few thous.
and feet below the surface, we are
able, by means of volcanoes, to
form some notion of what is gonig
on at greater depths. Denver

Henry Jenkins, of Bolton, Ian
eashire, England, lived to be 169
years old. Mrs. Anna Saville, q
writer of Jenkins time, has the
following in her account of him
II questioned him about his age.
He said he was l62 or 163. l
asked him what public event he
could longest remember. He said
the battle of Flodden Field, when
Henry VIII. was king. He said
he was then between 10 and IL
years of age, and was sent to
North Hallerton with a hon se-load
of arrows, but that bigger boy
was sent to the army with him"
All this agrees with the history of
that time, bows and arrows being
then in use. The battle Of Flooden
Field was fought September 9,
1913, and Henry Jenkins was then
boy between ten and twelve
years of age. He died on Dec. 9,
1869, so that he must have lived at
least 169 years, sixteen years
longer than old Parr, who was
born in Shropshire in 1883, and
died in 1885.

The copper house that N. Poul-
son, the iron manufacturer, built
in South Brooklyn, near Ft. Hang
ilton, is marvel. 1t is all of
metal, on a light framework of
steel, the floors being supported by
arches. The walls are composed
entirely of large copper plates
riveted together with double seams
and bound with iron. The cor
nlces, the trimmings, the posts,
the ratings and the sheathlngs are
are entirely of iion. The copper
is not polished, but each plate is
set in rough hammered. Each
plate makes panel with the iron
bindings, In three of these panels
brass medallions are set in bas-
relief. On the two tall chimneys
are iron basarelief work, one figure
representing q phoenix. The
style is Queen Anne, and time will
color the whole structure In rich
antique of copperas blue.

There is not and probably never
will be a good hand-drill in exist.
ence, says the Denver Mining
Industry. Scores of patents have
been taken out for them and they
are all failures. Every one is
what is called "man-killer," by
which is meant they require more
power for their operation than Is
required in drilling without the
Intervention of machinery. An
erroneous idea lios at the basis of
every one of them-it is that the
machine creates power. They
only utilize or transmit power, and
they can not transmit any moro
than is given to them, and can not
utilize all Of it. There is some
loss in all cases, by friction or
otherwise. BY any drill now made
power equal to 100 pounds
applied to 1t will utilize only
about GO pounds. The loss is in
friction.

THE PROBLEM OF MINING
AT EXTREME DEPTH.

Denver Mining lhdustry.
Very deep mining in the future
may be expected to depend upon
vertical shafts and not upon in
cline or long adits. Down to a
certain depth the latter form the
simplest and most economical
means of opening and draining a
nine, but there comes limit in
most cases where the length of tun-
mel needed and the cost of haulage
place the adit at disadvantage as
compared with the vertical shaft.
1t Is a question of topography,
that is, the ability to select a point
from which to start tunnel, from
which it will he possible to tap
vein in depth without having to
drive an inordinately long adit;
and it is also a question OF the
amount of water to he handled.
Owing to the steep gradients OF our
mountains and the height at which
the groupings are above the valleys
and gulches, there are better op-
portunitles among many OF the Col
orado mines for exploitation by
tunnels than almost anywhere else,
and we find that advantage has
been taken of the favorable condi-
tions in the case of the Cowen-
hoven tunnel, the Sheridan Men
dota, Revenue, Colorado Central,
Pay Rock and many others.
Even where the adlt does not cut
the lode at the deepest point where
mining Is TO be prosecuted, it may
serve very useful junction in re-
lieving the pumps Of a large part of
their work: and hence tunnels driv-
Ell during the earlier stages of min
ing may still be valuable when the
shafts have been pushed below
their level. The cases would be
very few indeed in which 1t would
be expedient to put in drainage
tunnel of any considerable length
after shaft has gone much deep
er, though this has been done at
the Ontario { Utah), and in a
few other instances.
BY very deep mining is here
meant, mining at depths of 1900
feet, 1000 feet, or deeper. What
the limit will eventually be, no one
can tell. Quite lately 1T was sup
posed to be somewhere between
5000 and 1000 feet, but improve
ments have been so rapid that any
such limit will have to be indefiui-
tely extended. The Tamarack cop
per mines IN Michigan will soon
be opened to vertical depth OF
4 900 feet, and there is nothing in
the condition of the ground where
the nine is now being worked to
lead to the anticipation of any
greater difficulty in operating at
that depth beyond the additional
cost of hosting The Lake cop
per mines are exceptionally cool
and dry, ani 1t will be easier to
work them at greater depth than
most OF the Western mines,
1t will be u long time before the
question of working gold and silver
a, and below depth of 1000 feet
will have to be faced iE earnest.
But meanwhile it is not an idle
apeculation to consider what will
have to he done when that time
does come. Where there is good
ore, il is certain that men will fol-
low it down much deeper than was
formerly supposed to be possible.
Possibly it may be 5000 feet, possi-
bly, 10000 feet. Who can say?

While we do not believe IN or advo-
cate harsh or severe treatment of pris-

though they have to be harsh and severe,
should ut once be meted out to the pris-
ensrs at present confined in the county
jail. They are not only disturbing the
peace and quitsness OF the county officials,
but also of all citizens for several blocks
adjacent to the jail, and in addition to
their boistereus language, they polute the
air with obscenity of the lowest type.

weeks ago he received a report to
the effect that out of this large lot
only five stones are of no value, the
remaining 633 being genuine dia-

The Judges Head is Level.

Judge Steele believes that the city
ordinances which provide punishment
for minor offenses should be so amended
as to include the hard labor clause.
To be sent to the county jail for a
period of the, fifteen Or twenty days.
and to be viii fed during that period
at the expense OF the county, seems to
have no terrOrs for the average drunk.
+, III fact, it seems that Z great many of
the DRINKS and double d's' immedi-
ately proceed to do the same thing over
again in order to again live on the
bounty Of the county. The hard labor
clause had a very salutary effect in
clearing out the vags and petty thieves
when it was introduced in their cases
last hummer, and even now, with the
lighter work to perform, it is seldom
that the same man is sent over the
same road twice, for they generally lie
themselves to greener fields, where
justice is more lenient As it is at
present a ten day sentence for drunk
ennes3 gives those who are SO c0nSti-
tuted IS TO enjoy idleness, even when
enforced, a very pleasant vacation,
with an opportunity to enjoy them
selves and to live with opulence, 50 far
as the food is concerned. The judge
believes that there would be no trouble
in inducing the legislature to delegate
the council the authority to incorpor-
ate this provision in the city ordinances
though it is not possessed of such
power now Durance vile has ceased
to have any discomforts which goodfood
will not alleviate, and the general inn
preston among those who are familiar
with the proceedings Of the municipal
court in police cases is that some pun
ishment should be inflicted, except that
which is seeminglya disgrace only in
