Then the prisoner Mccain was called

Waterbury's plan to murder his cousin
Ward in cold blood provided the $1,000

is well employed. The stringency of

the past is at present the only force re-
tarding the general improve ment Ex-
ports of merchandise continue to great

quarters in this city asking that
TWENTY-FIVE men, armed with Winches-

Before the Rio Graude railroad con-
scented to build into Creole careful
estimate was made of the probable
output of the camp within the next ten
years, as indicated by the prospects in
the Last Chance, Amethyst, Holy
Moses and the other claims 1t was
estimated that if the vein in which the
Last Chance and the Amethyst are To-
Gated be developed to a depth of
500 feet the product will reach
the enormous figures of go, 600 tons,
and the value will be not less than
SIS, 900, 600. The vein is looked upon
as trending for n considerable distance
across the county, and it is not unlikely
that several other full claims will be
discovered The Transfer Group is an
extension of the Last Chance and was
bought by parties connected with the
Rio Grande early last October. and two
or three days ago, in the course of de-
velopment, quartz identical with that
found on the surface in the great vein
was encountered.
