Old and defective archway, which has

The Poornnan

A report came down here yesterday
from Silver City that the Poorman ledge
had bean but il the Belle Peck tunnel,
and tho ledge found to be nine feet
wids, Of the Same character at ore that
made that mine famous OF old. We
hope this report will prove to b true
and, not only from the source 1t came,
but from our entire faith in that great
property. We have scarcely . doubt
about Il. The Belle Peck tunnel was
run distance Of !, 4o5 feet dozen years
ago. TWAS anything but good piece
of workmanship, and it has taken the
present owners Of the mine several
months to catch it up whore caved,
which work was only completed few
weeks since. It has been driven only
about Fifty feet further and there a
croes-cut was started for the ledge. 1t
is 2 long distance deeper than that vein
was ever worked and encountering the
lodge here at that depth not only means
renewing the prosperity OF that famous
property, bnt proves much mooted
question about the great string oil
mines Of which the Poorman is the
most conspicuous, by proving that they
hold out to greater dspth. Every mine
owner on War Eagle will now have oc-
casion to rejoice.
Inaugurate the great South Sinker
tunnel project now.

It Is reported that John T. Morrison,
who left here some months ago to re-

the proceeds to charitable institution,
Che used here sometimes to try to give
its contents to some Of his companions)
has joined church and married nice
young lady, and is now one of the steady
men of the Lone Star State. Morrison
always appeared to be made of too good
material to waste his life in trying to be
a bad man. We hope the report is all
true.

was dust which sold for $29.93. At this
rate their weekly clean ups will show
big wages for their work. They use
sluices and burlaps,
The men propose to remain and work

Shot in the Neck.

w. s. Williams and two brothers,
John O. and Thomas L. Jones. of Silver
City, forgetting the lessons taught them
in their far away childhood's home
among the rugged hills in Wales, went
hunting last Sabbath day. They crossed
War Eagle mountain and went down
among the thicksts of brush on South
Sinker and jumped up deer. Williams
saw the deer first and started to run.
Johnny Jones saw it then and shot. The
ball from Johnny's gun struck Williams
In the back of the neck, coming out just
behind his ear, making an ugly and
dangerous wound. Immediately Tom
my Jones started on a run down the
gulch to cabin for help. He found no
one at the cabin and returned to the
scene Of the accident. In the mean time
Johnny started down to Dick Thomas'
milk ranch with the wounded boy and
reached it, finding Dick and Sally at
home, who cared for the sufferer, Dick
coming to Silver for doctor. Tommy
returning whitber he had started and,
missing his companions, got lost. He
was out all night, coatlsss, in storm on
War Eagle and reached Silver the next
morning.
DR.. Lippencott and E. L. Williams,
who is an uncle OF the boys, went out to
Thomas Sunday and brought the
wounded boy in the next morning. He
will recover.

against Hymes who played rather careless

petusl check. Ross opened with p04 and
very soon attacked his opponent, Ewing,
who at first had to give up pawn, then a
piece and finally the game after forty
moves. Lebsire opened with a kings

ter introduced novel defence, which at
first Melted him the exchange, later q rock
and strong attack. Lebaire resigned at
his thirtieth move. The game between

RECEIVER FOR NEW ENGLAND,
Rumors of an Application For One
Are In Circulation In New York.
A Meeting of the Directors Was
Held But They Were Very ReticenI.
NEW York, Dec. 26.-From dispatches
received in the city to-day from Boston and
Philadelphia the rumor spread that an sp-
pllcation would be made tonight to one of
the judges of the supreme court for re-
ceiver for the New York and New Eng
land road. This action, it was claimed,
would be resorted to to forestall Mr.. Nc
Leod and his associates, who, 1t was said,
would apply for a receiver tomorrow
morning. A meeting of directors was held
this morning at which several of the larg-
est stockholders of the road were present.
The objectiof the meeting was to provide for
raising the interest due in January.
80 wing to Che unsettled financial condi-
tions of the country" said one of the men
vitality interested, "the Now England road
finds itself in pretty much the same con-
dition that the majority, or in fact all of
the roads are at present-unable to pay the
interest which falls due in January. In
order to meet this contingency the meeting
was held and committee was appointed
to raise the interest. They will report to
the board of directors tomorrow. I do
not, however, anticipate any such sharp
practice; neither on the part of the direc-
tors of the road, nor of Mr.. Mcleod, for
such action would practically cripple the
road. Of course, receiver can be sp-
pointed for a railroad or any other bust.
ness enterprise when It owes money, but
that such an action is anticipated is news
to me-"
General B. F. Tracy, Mr.. Boardman and
Frank 81. Platt were in consultation at the
Fifth Avenue hotel tonight. F. q. Prince
of Boston was also In the city. Mr.. Prince
denied all knowledge of the application for
a receiver and said that if such application
was to be made it should certainly be made
before judge of the United States court
Mr.. Plstt, when spoken to, said that he
had no intimation of such state of things,
but he would not divulge the object Of the
meeting of the counsel for the road at the
Fifth Avenue hotel.

An Aggressive Policy.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Much unessiness Is
felt among the competitors of the Santa
Fe to know what the policy of that road
under the receivers is to be in regard to
rates and It's relations to the different
railroad associations. The avowed policy
of the road, according to statements made
by prominent officials day is to main
tain rates and preserve revenues in every
possible way. At the same time the road
will pursue an aggressive policy in oonnec-
ton with all secret cuts made by its COM
