THE SCOLLY GRANT.
Surveyor General HObart's Adjust
ment Of a Long-Standing Dis
pute--87, 900 Acres Open
to Entry.

Surveyor General Hobart is to-day
sending on to the general land office de-
scriptive notes for U. S. patent to the
Scoly grant in Mora county. Frank
Springer, attorney for Gov. Hadley G.
W. Wildenstein, VIM. Kroenig, J. W. Wat
rous and others, has waived tho right OF
| appeal from the surveyor generals sur
vey, being perfectly satisfied with it. The
patent will be issued Immediately, thus
settling for all time the title to some
$4,000 acres of as fine land as ever laid
out of doors. Gen. Hobart, by tact and
good judgment, mas thus been able to
settle claim that has been in contro-
versy for over a quarter of century.
But this is not all. By this survey and
amicable adjustment of title to the Scolly
grant according to the boundaries laid
down by Surveyor General Hobart, a
magnificent tract of $1,000 acres is re-
stored to the public domain, and now
only awaits the formal declaration of the
general land Office to that effect to be
open to entry. 1t comes about in this
way: Thirty years ago the Scolly grant
claimants set up that their property COW
cred an area of some 100000 acres, and
the Mora grant was confirmed and
patented as per the adjoining lines of
the Scolly grant as thus claimed. When
it came to investigating the Scolly grant,
however, congress found that its ac-
tual area was only about $4,000 acres
or $1,000 acres less than had been
claimed, and the claimants were author
lied to make their selections in one body
to the extent of this $4,000 acres any
where within the original amount claimed
For thirty years they declined to do this,
hence the government patent was with
held. Finally Secretary Noble directed
Surveyor General Hobart to make the
selections for them and this has now been
done to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The residue of $1,000 acres lies in the
rich and beautiful Mora valley, is abun-
dainty watered by two streams, and when
thrown open for entry, which will prob
ably be at an early date, will supply ex-
cellent homes for about 1000 farmers.

GOLD PLACERS.
Santa Fe County Can Outstrip the San
Juan Disc0veries--Interesting
Facts and Figures.

"There are better placer gold fields
near Golden in Santa Fe county than can
| be found on the San Juan river. The
trouble is there is no water near the
placer fields"
The above paragraph from the Albu-
querque Citizen is timely statement of
fact. 1t is not impossible, however, to
conduct water to these placer beds. The
Rio Grande is thirty miles to the west;
the Rio Pecos about the same distance to
the east. A pipeline forty to forty We
miles long leading from either of these
two streams would solve the problem.
Three corporations have been formed
in years past to meet this proposition,
and its practicability has been demon
strated by several hundred thousand
dollars put into surveys, but the vicious
alien investments act of congress has
thus far prevented carrying out the
project. The first survey for such
water enterprise was made in 1868 by
Hon. Stephen B. Elkins and others.
and contemplated bringing water
from the Rio Pecos across the southeast
ern part of Santa Fe valley Some six
years ago Jefferson Reynolds, of Las Ve-
gas, ana others incorporated similar
project to bring water from the Rio
Grande to San Pedro, and four years ago
New York company again took up the
Pecos proposition, but ran out of funds
and quit
With the demand for gold properties
now growing so rapidly this is a better
business opening than ever, and when
New Mexico becomes state it will not
long go begging for capital to carry it
out.
The placer ground covers fully 10000
acres in south Santa Fe county, and bed
rock is from forty to eighty feet below the
surface. The gold found there is of the
shot variety, readily saved by ordinary
and conservative average value
of the gravel is probably fifty cents cubic
yard. Figure $4,000 acres of gravel at an
average depth of 60 feet and you have a
fair estimate of the amount of gold in
sight. These placers have been success
fully worked by Mexicans for 100 years.
The first gold taken from what is now
American soil was mined here. The larg-
'st nugget yielded by these fields was
ound by Hon. Felipe Delgado's father
md was worth $3,400, while nuggets of
he value of $3 to SIS are of common
occurrence.

by degrees a light seemed to come to
her. The difficulties became less and
less, and with the early dawn she sank
into light sleep, having resolved on
course Ct action which, although attend
ed with much trouble and considerable
degree of danger, might avert the trou-
BILE which stared them all in the face.
She was so sure of her own singleness of
purpose that it did not even occur to her
that in her contemplated action there
was to herself certain danger of having
her motives misunderstood in case any
premature discovery Of her plans should
take place.
What she had resolved was as follows:
She you'll go at the first opportunity she
might have without risk of casual dis
covery to the place where the money
was hidden, take it away so as to pre-
vent the temptation to her husband Of
stealing it and hide it somewhere else
until she should have a good oppor-
tunity of restoring it to her father with
out betraying hex husband
When she woke in the morning from
her troubled sleep, she could hardly real
ize that the events of the night were

when, as if 10 test the soundness of ne1
slumber, he spoke her name softly.
That was to her veritable night of
agony. She feared to move lest she
should attract the attention Of her hus-
band. Her mind was in O. state Of chaos.
Her doubts and fears followed each other
with lightning speed, whirling around
in an endless race. There was one dom
inant idea, which every moment came
into prominence, fell away and came mp
again. This was how she might devise
some means whereby she might prevent
the hideous truth from being discovered
and yet protect her father from the de.
signs of her husband, for she felt that
they all stood on the brink of a preci-
pice and that false step on her part
might be attended with the most dis
astrous consequences.
AS the night wore away the suspense
became unbearable, and having assured
herself that her husband was now really
asleep she slipped out of bed and sought
help and comfort by lzneeling at the lit
tie shrine to Our Lady which was fas-
tened in corner of the room. Long she
knelt there, and much comfort came to
her. She stole back to bed with her
mind clearer and began anew to revolve
the difficnlt nrnhlnm,
