my admiration for the loving'heartsd
daughter was not tingcd with the sell

parent that great love with which she
so Enthusiastically and unselfshly loved
him.
At this %juncture Miss Stewart, after
thanking US for our kindness, and
assuring US that she would esteem it a
favor if We would call in the afternoon
of the now approaching day, brought
our coats and furs, and accompanied
US to the hall where we took our leave.
Day after day and night after night
did the sick man lay in his room, no
longer propped up in the invalid chair
but in bed.
And day after day and night after
night did we visit the sick man, and
on no occasion did we find the daught-
err absent from his room, or at most
farther away than in an adjoining
room ready to respond to the call Of
the two nurses-a mar and his wife
who ever since the night or u first
visit were in constant attendance.
And when Mr.. Stewart was finally
pronounced convalescent, VIC used to
visit him, read to him and pass the
time away most enjoyably.

After q moments pause Dick found
expression and said in q clear manly
voice: "Mr. Stewart let not that I'M
pleasantness have the least to do with
the present; think not for a moment
that We could possibly hold enmity IN
our hearts against a man Of your no.
bic daring and love of country.
For, as we all know, you were actu-
ated at the time of our hostile engage
ment, not by feelings Of personal re-
sentiment, but of resentment OF what
YOU believed an insult to our southern
principals. We arc only too glad to
be Of service to you while you So

| could not but notice a shadow
cross the face Of the sick man while
Dick was delivering these words OF
welcome, and felt that the proud
heart was moved as it would have beer
hard to move under other circumstan
ces. But before he had time for re
ply he was seized with a spasmodi'
suffering of the lungs to that degree
that became alarming. His daughte,
knelt by his side, applied smelling salt
to his nostrils, brushed his hair sooth
ingIy from his broad white forehead
and in a low soft tone such as a moth
er would employ while watching owe
her babe, spoke words of encourage

would soon recover.
Then she arose and prepared Gel

the sick man from certain walls on

falling athwart the 70 ON caused him
to catch the inspiration Of his native

Dick and I together had found
some rare home plants 10 the city

to the sick mans room also. and which
no doubt added much to the joyous

THE LITTLE PITTSBURG.
What is Going on In and About the
Mines of South Santa Fe
County.

The O'Mara coal mines are proving to
be bonanzas. The principal vein meas
ures four feet and nine inches of the best
coal SO far discovered in this county.
There are 1000 or more acres of coal
lands IN the vicinity of Ortiz station
which Santa Fe citizens are interested
in.
Coors Brothers, of Las Vegas, have es-
tablished q branch lumber yard at Ger
rillos. =
Work is to be commenced on the Ortiz
mine at Dolores, under the supervision of
Lee English. Some very favorable re-
ports have been received from this
mine.
Work is to be resumed on the San
Lazarus mine at San Pedro shortly. The
owners of this property are very sanguine
that it can be made to pay big.
Says the Rocky Mountain News: "Do-
lores, N. M, is gold camp which aims
to rival Cripple Creek, Colo. Albuquer-
que papers state that all the men who
have gone to the diggings between Ger
rillos and San Pedro are making good
wages this winter with pick and shovel
1t is cheerful to note the many kind
words now appearing in the press rela-
tive to south Santa Fe county's resources
The Albuquerque Times says: "a
genuine and lasting boom is doubtless
on for the gold fields near Oerrillos. AL
buquerqueans will be glad to see it in.

to our merchants considerable revenue

WEARY OF LIFE.
James Davis, q Clerk at CerrillOs,
Puts u Bullet Through
His Brain.

A telegram to the New MEXICAN an
nounces that James Davis suicided at
Cerrillos at 8 o'clock this morning.
Davis is we'll known as formerly a clerk
in Strumquists store at San Pedro, and
lately as clerk in Tiechnann's store at
Cerrillos. He has also worked in the
mines. He was unmarried, about IS years
of age, and came to San Pedro some four
years ago from Missouri. He has lately
been out of work and was occupying a
room in the rear of T1echmann's store,
when, brooding over what he considered
his "hard luck" he resolved to fathom the
mysteries of the future by taking his life.
Shortly before o'clock this morning he
sat down on the edge of his bed and
pulled trigger that wiped out his life.
An inquest was held on the remains this
forenoon and the good people of Cerrlllos
will see that his body is given decent
burial.

THE FOOT-BALLISTS.
Albuquerque and Las Cruces Teams
Heard FrOm-Santa Feans
Ready for a Match.

Lieut.. Harrison is in receipt of letter
from Geo. E. Lindsey, manager of the AL
buquerque football team, in which it is
stated that the game can not come of
New Years day, as arranged heretofore,
because the University boys had secured
the fair grounds for game with Las
Cruces eleven on that date. The Albu-
querque management also object to
guaranteeing the expenses of the local
team. As they expressed willingness to
pay all legitimate expenses of the visit
ing team, it is difficult to see why a
guarantee is refused. They say the game
can come off on Washington's birthday.
Lieut.. Harrison has some counter PROPOSE
lions to make, among others, one that the
game should come off between 10 a. m,
and IL M, New Years day, leaving the
afternoon to the junior teams. 1T the
Duke city really desires to contest for
honors with Santa Fe let them cease
clubbing and talk business.

put in to keep the plates clear OF ice' and
the life and activity apparent bodies well

strike this region.
Great interest is displayed in the placer
mines along the Rio Hondo and Red
rivers. About the headwaters of the
latter stream, as shown by the county
clerks records, over 900 acres have been
staked as placer claims. Mr.. Carmichael
saw several walls of coarse gold from
these placer bars. In the early spring a
great deal of machinery for developing
these claims is to be brought in. Ma
chinery for the Lucas company's Mo
Hondo placers is already arriving, and
sensitized plates for saving the -four gold
at the end of the ordinary sluicers have
been ordered by several parties.

A Hint to Societies.

The Optic, several times of late, has had
inc uiries of parties intending to visit
Santa Fe, but who wished to time their
visit 80 as to be there when certain secret
societies should have their monthly meet

has been compelled to reply that the
civic societies of Santa Fe did not pub.
lish cards in the Santa Fe papers, and
consequently this paper did not know
the times Of stated oonclave. Most Of
the societies of Las Vegas have cards in
the Optic; few, however, are as unpro-
pressive as the societies of Santa Fe.-
