HERMOSA.

The leasers on the various mines of
this camp are steadily producing ore
and the assays are satisfactory al usu-
al.
Hon. w. s. Hopewell visited Her
mosa and made himself generally
agreeable; he has adopted an imperial
cut TO his beard and moustache which
is quite becoming, but he did not say If
this was to be in keeping with the I'M
perial tendency of the democratic id
mlnistration or not.
The populists have not quite taken
the camp but, if the talk of hitherto de-
mocratic and republican voters goes fol-
anything, the pops will have as many
voters this fall as the old parties, some
of the best men of the camp are thor
oughly disguised with the course OF
the democratic and republican leaders
of the country and New Mexico, and
announce their intention of voting
with that party which will work fol
the people and not for the trusts, the
corporations, and the land grabbers
and those who go about generally
schemlng to devour the taxes collected
for the general Improvement and con.
duct of the public's affairs. The PEG
pie here are laughing over the way in
which the Sierra county democratic
press is patting certain well-knowr
machine politicians of the tom-cat-ruu
gubernaculum kind on the back, AND
proposing them for anything from dele.
gate to congress, to delegates to con.
ventions, or representatives in the
New Mexico legislature. The mean
ing of all this mutual admiration be,
tween the democratic press and tbs
tom-cat-run gubernaculum politicians
is we'll understood.

GRAFTON.

The Great Republic, the Julia and
the Triangle are a group of contiguous
mining claims of which Sierra county
can be proud, with strong, we'll de.
fined veins OF quartz showing silver
sulphides and occasionally free gold
they give almost any assay which is de.
sired and return a good average for the
whole width of the veins. The vein
of the Great Republic will average five
feet in width and average thirty ounces
in silver and fifteen dollars in gold to
the ton. There are several shafts and
an adit which develop the + bodies
and show the continuity of the vein
and the ore. Between the adit and one
of the shafts and the outcrop of the
vein there is more than three thousand
tons of ore blocked out. III addition tC
the main vein there are several subsi-
diary veins, or parallel veins, or spurs.
which upon development will prove
the ore character of the country and
would give good returns in a mill or
concentration. The Julia and the Tri-
angle both show very well for the
amount of development work done
upon them. There is more than five
hundred feet of work done upon the
three claims, with good ore dumps as a
result. There has been enough of the
high grade ore sent to reduction works
to demonstrate beyond doubt its char
acter and value and that this group
of mines can be made to add largely
to the in gold and silver of Sierra
county, the principal ore producing
county of New Mexico.

Indebtedness is over S7,OOo.O0. It's the

Tue plant is a good one, but the dry. low
grade ores, or rock, taken from waste
dumps Of mines was too much for its
digestive power; but as this district
did not furnish any ore for the enter
prise 1t cannot be accused of having a
hand In the catastrophe. Another
failure and another black eye to the
country which is universally regretted.
Perhaps after a few more failures of
the kind have occurred it will dawn
upon some men that to successfully
operate mines and reduction works
strict business principles must be in
augurated and judiciously carried out,
the same as in any other branch of
business or industry that attains sue
cess.

WEDDING PARTIES BEwARE.-A
bridge which is carefully avoided by
wedding couples because of the tradi-
ton which surrounds it spans stream
called the Goldbrook, in the parish of
Hoxne, near Eye, in the county of Suf-
folk, England. Standing in the centre
of an open field at Hoxne is an obelisk
to the memory of Edmund, King of the
East Angles, who was killed by the
Danes in $40. >~On the site of the mon
ument stood an oak tree, in the branch
es of which the King took refuge from
his foes. At nightfall he emerged
from his leafy hiding-place and secreted
himself under the aforementioned
bridge. A wedding party passing over
the bridge at night observed the Kings
gold spurs glittering in the moonlight,
and in this way he was betrayed to his
enemies, who took him back to the oak
tree and shot him with arrows. Local
tradition has it that many years ago
the existing inscription of the event
was followed by the words: "Cursed
be the wedding party that passes over
this bridge.n No such words are now
visible, but the tradition is so well
known that bridal parties prefer taking
q circuituous route rather than pass
over Goldbrook bridge.
