In THE GOLD FIELDS.
A Rich Strike inSOuth Santa Fe COun

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden, Santa Fe, March 9.--The news
of the strike mentioned in my last on the
Weigand, Dansby & Company's claim, in
the north mountains, was confirmed later
by some of those working in the mine.
One of the most beautiful gold speci-
mems, the size of hens egg, ever exhibit
cd here was one-third to one-half pure
gold. There were quite number OF
smaller pieces equally rich; estimate it for
yourself as to what an enormous amount
it will run per ton.
The lucky owners of the mine had dis
covered lead two feet in width running
high in silver and gold, but within the
post few days they have struck into this
lead Of exceedingly rich gold ore, and are
taking out quite quantity daily. If this
vein continues as it is, they will have a
mine second to none in the territory. This
mine, the Gypsy Queen, has been owned
and worked by Mr.. John Bell and. Mr.
Dansbv, one of the present owners for the
past two years. Mr.. Dansby doing the
work and Mr.. Bell "staking" HIM. Quite
recently Mr.. Bell becoming discouraged
sold his interest to Christ Weigand and
other Las Vegas parties.
Immediately after the change in the
ownership the force was increased and
work pushed on the mine and this strike
is the reward of energy and pluck, espec-
Tally on the part of Mr.. Dansby.
have just learned that Weigand, Dams
by & Co. are taking out a two ton test
mill run of this rich ore to be sent to
Denver.
We have quite number of good pay
ing gold leads in this section and there
are others besides the Gypsy Queen which
we verify believe would prove equally as
rich If sufficiently and properly developed,
and we have reason to think that present
interest manifested by mining men in
gold properties here will result in these
claims being opened up and our camp
coming to the front in the near future.
Two car loads of heavy we'll drilling
machinery have just arrived at Cerrillos
for the Golden Hydraulic q Irrigation
Co. to be used in drilling ten more wells
on their valuable placer property here.
The company has now gone about its
enterprise in proper shape, and has
brought out five experienced we'll drillers
from Pennsylvania to do the work. They
are confident of getting artesian water
inside of 1900 feet, and if they do, then
look out for boom at Golden and San
Pedro.

Two Cases Dismissed Because of De-
fective Indictments-Was
There Collision?

The trial of s. M. Folsom, late presi-
dent of the defunct Albuquerque National
bank, was commenced in the district
court at Albuq uerque to-day. Two of the

of which he was charged with having
issued false certificate of deposit to the
Merchants National bank of st. Johns
bury, VT, and in the other of having is
sued false order, were dismissed by the
U. s. attorney on Saturday, owing to de-
fects in the indictments, and defendant is
to day on trial under the third indict-
ment. On Saturday it developed that the
appearance bond originally given by Fol-
som chad been lost, "and accordingly new
bond was required In the sum of $4,000
with N. B. Field and F. W. Clancy as
sureties.
The grand jury now in session is said
to be working on this case again, and
other indictments are expected to be re-
turned shortly. Bank Examiner. Lazear
and another officer representing the
United States are in Albuquerque at work
on the case, and are said to have secured
fresh evidence in the premises that will
lend sensational features TO- the case.

thirty-on feet wide and mill run of The
whole width runs $104 to the ton, and

Colorado people know more about Co.
chit than do the people of New Mexico,
they having sent reliable men into the
camp weeks ago. The reports sent back
have been such as to start a stampede
this way over the narrow gauge.

PICKETT AND THE ARCHIVES.
The Light Turned on Hidden Chapter Of
Wartime History.

The Light Turned on Hidden Chapter Of
Wartime History.
Frank Riggs, the son of the famous
banker and his fathers successor in the
financial circles at Washington, tells
ne an interesting story that corrects a
false impression which many good peo-
pie have ca1ried for years. During the
second term of President Grant q man
of the name Of Pickett sold to the gov
ernment of :he United States the rec
ords of the executive departments of
the southern confederacy. From these
documents was obtained much evidence
that prevented the payment of claims
of southern citizens who pretended 10y
atty for losses growing out of the war.
In single instance they saved several
millions By showing that mail contract
ors throughout the south had been paid
from the Confederate treasury for serv-
ices performed by them for the postoffice
department of the United States before
the outbreak of the rebellion. They
proved to be of great value in many 9TH
er directions, and the price paid Mr..
Pickett for them, which was some
thing like $50, 900, proved to be one of
the most profitable investments ever
made by the government.
Pickett had been the chief clerk of
the Confederate state department or
held some similar Office which made
him custodian of the archives. When
President Davis and his cabinet fed
from Richmond, Mr. Pickett carted the
records away and hid them in some
place that escaped the searchers of the
Union army, and the manner of their
disappearance was mystery until they
were delivered to Secretary Fish. 1t
was always believed that Mr.. Pickett
pocketed the money, and he was uni
versally condemned by southern people
for betraying the secrets of the lost
cause for price.
''The facts have never been told, "
said Mr.. Riggs, for Mr.. Pickett exact
ed the strictest pledges of secrecy from
my father in regard to the disposition
of the money. But both of them are
dead now, and there is no reason why
the truth should not be known Mr..
Pickett never had the benefit of one
penny of the money he received from
the government for those records. He
deposited the entire amount as soon as
he received it in our bank to the credit
of George W. Riggs, trustee for, and
it was distributed in small amounts
among the widows Of Confederate OFF.
GERS Mr.. Pickett made out the list Of
the people to whom he wished it sent.
The checks were all signed by my ia,
ther. Each one was accompanied by q
letter, which he prepared and which my
father signed, saying that the inclosure
was forwarded at the request of a gen.
tleman who felt an interest in their
welfare, but for reasons of his own de,
sired that his identity should not be
disclosed The account was carried fol-
several years, and all the checks and
vouchers are now packed away in ou1
bank. Chicago Record.
