THE CHAMA PLACERS.
What is Going On Toward Opening
the Chama River Gravel Beds.

The Chama river placer fields continue
to attract attention from capital and
miners. Fl. W. Easton came down from
Abiqulu last night and states that
the Bucyrus company is making substan-
tial improvements at their camp. The
headquarters of this company are at 1876
Main street, Buffalo, N. Y. The directors
are all Buffalo men as follows: Samuel
G. Dorr, M. D., president; Robt. B. Hun
ter, first vice-president; Alphonso j.
Meyer, second vice. president; Jacob Dill
cher, treasurer; G. P. Stevenson, II. Fl.
Argue, Frank G. Garbutt, manager; Will
lam r. Watson, secretary. Manager Gar
butt is on the ground. Vice-President
Hunter has gone to Buffalo to superin-
tend the shipment of the extensive plant
which is to extract the gold from the
gravel. It is expected to arrive on the
18th inst. car load of machinery, tools.
etc. is already in camp. The manager
says twelve men will be employed at the
works and he expects to handle 1900
yards of gravel per day that will average
yield of 80 cents to the cubic yard in
gold dust.
Joe. Mulhatton's connection with the
company has been severed, and he has
gone to Buffalo. j. I. Hagan and Fl. N.
Adams, of Litchfeld, KY, are on the
ground and are working up new com
pany to develop the old Pittsburg COM
pany's claims.
Chandler Bros, of Hillsboro, this terri
tory, are above Abiquiu, half mile this
side of the canons working on the river
bed bars with Kent washer, and they
take out about $S per day. They say the
gravel there yields $1.25 to the yard. Mr..
Easton saw three wheel barrow loads
washed through this Kent rocker and he
judged the yield to be about 35 cents,
some of it appearing i'll good sized gold
flakes. The idea of the Chandler Bros,
Is that the big pay lays on or near bed
rock, from ten to twenty feet below the
surface.
The Denver Placer Mining company,
represented on the ground by W. T. Gar
rison, has located a mile OF ground up
and down the river, outside OF the Chama
canon, and he gets good prospects. He
says their first work will be to sink to
bedrock and see what it reveals.
The Bucyrus company and the county
have each subscribed 500, and with this
the public road between Navajo Springs
and Abiquiu is being repaired so that the
machinery soon to arrive can be brought
in via Chama.

SIERRA TAXES.
How the Rich County Of Sierra Stands
With the Territorial
Treasury.

The auditors office shows the following
status of the taxes for Sierra county for
1891 and 1892. S. w. Sanders, sheriff and
OK officio collector.
He is charged with the following: De-
linouent taxes and licenses, $8,GSO.15;
licenses and penalties 1891, $1,147.7S;
taxes for 1891, $21,959.63; interest and
additional assessments, $291.24.; licenses
for 1872, $513.75; interest and penalties,
$29233; taxes 1892, $l5s97.s6. Total
$49,21976.
He stands credited as follows: Com
missions and mileage 1891, $1,931.57;
abatements by county commissioners,
$2,O38.21; commissions and mileage 1892,
$1,2SlSS; cash turned in during 1891, 1892
and 1898, $32,511.S4, leaving a balance of
1O,455.S6 unaccounted for. As sheriff San
ders is his own successor it may be pre-
sumed that part of this sum was collect
ed on July last and that part of it is un-
collectible. The records show that Sher-
iff Sanders made frequent settlements and
his percentage is quite creditable. His
accounts are rendered intelligently and
in good shape.

NJ. d. Gaylord and Thos. S. O'Neil, of

port the gratifying information that R..
Y. Anderson has, after hard rustic, been
entirely successful in the matters which
took him to Denver. Such being the case,
the Vera Cruz mine will soon be provided
with sixty-stamp mill and things gen
orally look most propitious.
At Lincoln, Sheriff Curry received in
formation that band of horse thieves
we're doing Picacho. He started out in
search of them, accompanied by Geo. w.
Peppin. They returned after a weary
search, having secured the following men:
Jose Leon Baca, Jose Torres and Doroteo
Carrillo. 1t is claimed that these men
were working for one Bernardino Gomez
and did not know that Gomez had stolen
horses in the bunch. Gomez is still at
large; he said to be determined fellow
and will very likely make his escape.

The pretty French silks are now

The favorite material for the natty

Two essential things to be avoided
Just now are the adoption of very
fanciful and overloaded hats and bon
nets and the adoption of the popular
and exceedingly striking contrasts of
color in dress and millinery, both of
which are inappropriate and unbecom-
ing to the majority of women Crino-
line also, except in the hands of
skilled dressmaker, has a most mar
tistic and awkward effect. Many of
the new Easter gowns" were spoiled
by the introduction of this lining, the
exact line where it ceased Just below
or above the knee being plainly visible.
1t is far better on a slender figure to
allow the crinoline to reach to the
belt than to show its ending half way
mp the skirt; and stout women would
better dispense with the stiff material
altogether and elect for a lining of
thin hning-muslin, inexpensive silk,
sateen silesia or any other suitable
lightly dressed fabric, trusting to out
side trimmings rather than inside APP
planes to produce the desired expand
ing effects. Skirts are now so full at
the bottom that rows of ruching, a
series of bands, frills, etc, give suffi-
GENTLY rotund look to models made up
with crinoline eliminated from the
Innings altogether.

One of the features OF the world 5

architects and builders is a building

The bricks are made about s inches
long, 6 inches wide and 2! inches
thick, and are blown with an air
chamber in the middle, which has an
important bearing on their weight,
and subsequent value. They are made
with ribs or grooves to give the
cement in which they are laid firm
hold upon them. These brick are

any desirable architectural form.
The material being translucent foods
