COLUMBUS CRUCIFIX.
A Notable Relic Said to Have Found
Its Way to Santa Fe.

Wood Darr, of Cleveland, Ohio, says
that the crucifx which Christopher Col
umbus wore when he discovered Amer
lea is in the keeping of the Sisters of
Loretto at Durango, Colo, whittier it was
taken from Santa Fe., familiar repre-
sentation of this crucifx appears on the
reverse side of many S. bills. Mr.. Darr
has written an interesting letter upon
this relic to President Palmer, of the
Worlds fair commission at Chicago, in
which he says;
Having the knowledge of the possible
existence of a relic of Christopher Co.
lumbus, l have deemed it my duty to
respectfully call your attention in the
following lines in the hope that you will
find it worthy of investigation with the
admirable means at your disposal: Some
years ago Archbishop Machebeouf and
Rev. Father Rayerdy, prelates of the Cath
Ole church, residents in Denver,
Colo, told me of the existence of the
crucifx used by Columbus in his
early voyages, and which is represented
Ill I'll biiO lONCloO pluO VI oN'
eral issues of greenbacks representing
Columbus landing in the West Indies and
taking possession of the new found land
in the name of Queen Isabella of Spain.
The theory of its preservation is this;
Columbus, in addition to his colonization
schemes, undertook missionary work
among the Indians of what is now Central
America and Mexico. Discussions and
civil strife did much to break up those
colonies, but many of the church fixtures
were saved by pious Indians, among them
the subject of this letter. These were
preserved by being handed down from
generation to generation, the traditions
surrounding them aiding much in their
safekeeping. This crucitix at last found
its way to Santa Fe, N. NJ, where it re-
manned for a long time, until purchased
by Mrs. Heffernan, the widow of general
of the late war. From Santa Fe this lady
took it to Durango, Colo, where it is
now, in the safekeeping of the Sisters OF
Loretto, who have convent at that
place. Upon the death of the present
owner it is to go to the Catholic univer-
sity of Notre Dame, and South Bend, In
diana. regret to state that my inform
ants, Bishop Machebeuf and Father
Raverdy, are both dead, SO can obtain
no further details from that source.
would respectfully suggest that you com,
municate with the mother superior of the
convent at Notre Dame, regarding hel
knowledge of the crucifx, and also that {
request be made upon the honorable
secretary of war to detail an officer of the
army to investigate the matter. If the
authenticity of this relic can be proven
and possession for exhibitory purposes
be obtained it will prove one of the mos
interesting sights at the Worlds fair"

That was pretty picture the plaza
represented at II o'clock 500 school
children waving flags and cheering.
Entertaining exercises are in progress
at the U. S. Indian school this afternoon
and many citizens are witnessing them.
President Bartlett and Secretary Knae-
bel, of the Board of Trade, threw tiny
flags from their carriage to everybody
along the line of parade.
The court house is crowded this after
noon to witness the exercises by the pub
lie school children. In fact, the house
was too small to accommodate the crowd,
and many were turned away.
Many strangers remained over to-day
to witness the festivities and doubtless
they are glad of it. Certainly no western
city exceeded Santa Fe in its observance
of the day.
The part that Fort Marcy took in max
ing the parade success is appreciated
by the citizens. Lieut.. Littell and Lieut..
Stottler appeared on horseback as aides
to Col. Pearson. The battalion present
ed very handsome and martial appear

Lieut.. Harrison acted as battalion adjutant
and Lieut.. Kirby was officer of the day

A few years ago. before the profession
ais came. the matches between the several
towns were decidedly more interesting
and were not burden financially, upon
the shoulders of those who fancied and
desired to perpetuate the national game
1t is the wish of Mr.. McCreight, who con-
ceived the idea, to have four towns in the
league, namely: Las Vegas, Santa Fe,
Ell Paso and Albuquerque. Letters have
been mailed, not only to Mr.. Merrill, of
Ell Paso, who has answered, but to G. b.
Dixon, of Santa Fe, and Chris Sellman, of
Las Vegas, asking their opinion and CO.

upon the subject as soon as they confer

The Coal Strikers.

The strike of coal miners is still on at
Cerrillos and no coal is moving, hence
several Santa Feans are feeling the effects
of the famine. The narrow gauge line,
however, is reaping benefit. Speaking of
the hard coal supply Las Vegas paper
says:
"Dr. Gordon called on Supt. Dyer, this
morning, and learned that there will not
be any hard COAL of any importance,
shipped from Cerrillos before next fall.
The only hard coal mine which the rail
road has yet reached, in its building, is
the Lucas" which has an article only of
inferior quality. If Las Vegas shall not
be able to obtain hard coal, this winter,
it will work great hardship to those
who have provided themselves with hard
coal burners"

Hon. Henry Lee, of Denver, one of the
foremost business men in the Centennial
state, and president of the Lincoln-Lucky
& Lee Mining company, came in from
San Pedro last night, and is the guest of
E. T. Weber at the Claire.
Speaking of the mine, Mr.. Lee said:
II found the property all right; every
thing is in good shape and moving on
nicely, save we can not secure teams
enough to handle all the ore we would like
to ship. The output is about twenty tons
daily; we ship the ore to Pueblo and it
runs between 1875 to $50 ton"
Politically, Mr.. Lee said he thought
Colorado would be very close, with the
chances in favor of the election of the
Republican state ticket, but the two mem
bers of the congress and the electoral
ticket may be Weaverites."

THE DECORATIONS.
Flags of all nations-those of the United
States predominating, of course, but
mingled with those of Spain and Italy,
and even Ireland and Germany, are to be
seen everywhere. The merchants of the
city caught the spirit of the day and dis
played much taste in decorating their
houses. San Francisco street, from one
end to the other, and about the plaza is
veneered with tri-colored bunting and the
stars and stripes. All the public buildings
are gaily decorated. Never before were
so many flags shown. In front of the
central entrance to the governors palace
is to be seen the most artistic ornamen-
tation. Festoous of flags, shields and
banners cover the walls and portal, and
two large pictures, one of Columbus and
another depicting the landing of the great
discoverer, attract much attention.

REAL ESTATE IS ON THE BOOM.
An Encouraging Condition OF
Real Estate.
Tremendous Increase in the Record
.er's Business.
A Hundred Thousand Dollar Transfer
Yesterday-Marked Increase In
Sales-Some Pleasant
Facts.

The city of Los Angeles is evidently
getting ready for big stride in the way
of the enhancement of real estate
values, if indeed boom is not en-
minent. All signs seem to point in
that direction, and the cold facts as fur
nished by the daily routine of the busi-
ness transactions in the recorders office
are right in line with this view Of the
situation.
Yesterday deed was filed for record
in the recorders office for block of lots
on Upper Main street, this city, sold by
S. X. McElhanny and wife, of Huston,
Texas, to Anna M. O'Brien of Kansas
City, the consideration being $100, 600.
This same property during the days of
the last boom was valued at $50 900,
showing marked increase during the
period of depression succeeding the
boom.
A glance through the transations in
the recorders Office shows that in COM
parison with the business of last year
there has been an increase of 35 per
cent in the volume of transfers and
in the releases of mortgages.
The receipts OF the recorders office
for the month of June were 5000 in ex-
cess of the business of June, 1891, and
placing fair average of 81 per invest
ment filed for record, there has been an
increase of 200 investments in a COM
parison of the two months. There was
an equally large increase in the figures
for April and May as contrasted with
last year, and the month of July will
show the largest returns of any July
since the boom. In fact, the records of
the present summer will exceed those
of any summer since the flush days OF
1887, and the beauty about this increase
in the volume of transactions is that
they are entirely bona ide.
Quite number of improvements have
been introduced by Recorder Kelly in
the way of simplifying the transaction
of business. The chief clerk of the
copying department is required to keep
double entry set of books 80 that every
instrument handed out for copying is
checked to the copyist and must be re-
turned each evening, thus preventing
the loss of valuable documents. No
copyist is allowed to make interlinea-
tions or erasures as in the past, and
clean record must be given of every in
strument. One of the most important
and valuable improvements has been
the introduction of new system of in
dices, by which one can find document
in five minutes that formerly might have
necessitated search for five hours. By
the new system the names are admira-
bly, segregated without entailing addi-
tional labor, and there are less en-
ployes in the Office than at any previous
period in the history of the Office, al
though the volume Of business has in
creased immensely.
A new feature in the Office is the re-
cording of tax sales as turned over by
the tax collector. These amounted to
5000 last year, and there was an accu
mutation of 10000 on hand from the
predecessor of Mr.. Kelly when he took
bold of the Office, which have also been
placed on record
Los Angeles herald., 1892-07-28
A CHILLED STEEL TANK
FOR FEDERAL GUESTS AT MIR. RUS
SELLS HOsTELRY.
A Number of Practical Features to BE
Introduced in the County Jail.
Good Suggestions of
the Sheriff,

The supervisors have ordered new
tank cell to be placed in the county Jail
in accordance with the recommendations
of Sheriff Gibson and Jsilor Russell.
This cell will be located in the United
States prisoners department and it will
be 20 feet by IL feet. 1t will be con-
structed of chilled steel, and it will be
so placed that prisoners who are con-
fined in this department when removed
from their cells for exercise can be
placed therein, thus keeping them away
from the windows. This is an improve
ment that has long been needed in the
Jail, as it lessons the possibility of in
mates escaping.
Another important change is the
placing of chilled steel partition
separating the main body of the Jail
from the United States prisoners de-
partment. These will be connected by a
heavy door, thus rendering it impossible
for the ordinary convict to communicate
with them. All of the windows of the
Jail will likewise be covered with heavy
steel wire screens, so that even if the
bars were filed, the prisoner would find
still another obstacle. Chilled steel bars
will also be placed on several of the
more exposed windows.
Jailor Russell has introduced new
safeguard to prevent escapes. Whenever
man arrives at the institution now be
is required to take off his shoes, and is
furnished with pair of light slippers to
be worn during the period of his incar-
ceration. On leaving the Jail the shoes
are returned to him. The purpose of de-
priving prisoners Of their foot-gear is
to prevent the possibility of having
spring steel saws and other diminutive
but potential articles from being surrep-
titiously introduced into the jail. 1t is
favorite device with many profess
sional criminals to have a secret cavity
in the sole of their shoes in which such
implements as would aid them in
breaking Jail, are concealed. Quite a
number OF steel saws and other imple-
ments have been found in this manner
since the new order went into effect.
