HILLSBoRO.

-
NThe following items include Hillsboro and
v~icinity.)
A very sad accident occurred last
Friday at the SIS mine in which a young
man named Louis Jones aged nineteen
or twenty years lost his life. Louis
was a son of Geo. B. Jones "a longtime
resident of Hillsboro and Kingston)
and came from Illinois to join his
father about a year ago. He was
a quiet, well-behaved, industrious
young man and had made a good i'm
preston On those with whom he had
become associated. On the night of the
list the gallows frame on the mine
was burnt down, Supt. Mcdonald, a
man by the name of Abbott and the
deceased were working to replace it.
A saw was required that had been left
down the shaft so the young man who
knew where it was went down to get it.
Shortly after starting down a noise of
a fall was heard and those on top soon
realized that their companion was in
trouble. Efforts were made to descend
but the air was 50 foul that 1t was
found impossible to reach him. The
young mans father who had been sent
for, immediately on arrival at the
mine tied a rope about himself and be-
gan the descent, but was soon drawn
up again. On the fifth attempt he
reached him and got his arm around
the body but was took weak to raise
him and was again drawn out in a faint
condition. Meanwhile, Joe Gallagher,
late engineer at the Richmond mill,
managed to get some air into the shaft
by means of the bellows and after
several futile attempts by different
parties, Supt. Mcdonald and Gallagher
went do wn again. This time McDon-
aid reached the bottom and succeeded
in placing the remains in the bucket
and fastening them securely SO that
they were soon on the surface. The
accident occurred in the morning and

the recovery was made after o o'clock
at night. Dr. Given. who was at the
mine for hours, examined the body and
founC no bones bToken and only one
confusion on the head that showed
anything like a brrise. The distance
lie fell, or rather rolled down the
incline shaft, is uncertain, the sup
position is that the foul air made him
dizzy and he lost his foothold, fell to
the bottom. Before the gallOws frame
burnt the men were IN the habit ofgoing
to the landing a little over one hundred
feet, where the body Law, and while the
air was so foul that a candle wOnld
not burn, they experience little diff
Guilty in staying down for some time.
The burning embers falling down had
turned the already charged air into
carbonic acid gas and its deadly effects
were not understood till the young
lite was sacrificed. The funeral was
held on Saturday evening at 5 O'Clock,
leaving the knights of Pythias hall. of
which order the father was a member
and an officer, and escorted by the
Knights and citizens to the church
where services were held by the Rev.
f. NJ. Day, and from there tothe grave
yard. Many beautiful floral decorations
we're contributed by the ladies of
Hillsboro. The bereaved father has
the sympathy of the whole com munity.
Messrs. Conoboy & Belser are getting
ready TO ship some nine or ten tons of
ore from the Flying Dutchman mine
at the head Of Ready Pay gulch.
Fitzwilliams and Laramy will join
them In the shipment to complete the
carload from their mine in Wlck's
gulch.
The Mimbres hot springs is getting
a number of visitors from this part of
the country. One load returned last
week and another starts from Lake
Valley this.
DR.. Strickland and Frank Brown
have about four tons of ore on the
dump Of the Dr's. mine in Wick's gulch
which they will market soon.
In the upraise for air on the Ell Orc
mine bad ground was encountered
which will delay them some little time.

HERMOSA.

The way to strikes to strike ore, so
the Hermosa boys have always thought
and upon this thought they have acted.
Thus Hermosa has been and is one of
the banner ore producing camps OF the
banner precious mineral producing
county of New Mexico. Shelters may
shut down, and all sorts of nefarious
schemes may be hatched, by the gold
bugs, to hinder the production of sill
ver-lead ores; but when that parasitic
insect, commonly called the gold bug,
has been given his full dose of medl-
cine and rolls over on his back poison.
ed by an overdoseOf his own literature,
the mining camp of Hermosa will be
producing silver and lead, and its
plucky miners will remember the
gold bug in his coat of many colors and
with his mouth full of promises which
meyer matured, and the miners will
point to their waste dumps as places
where the ghost of the gold bug can

Mr.. Jas. Hopkins and wife returned
from the north end of the county near
Grafton, where Mr.. Hopkins had taken
a lease on an inte.estln one of the gold
leads of that part of the country; the
scarcity of water was the cause of Mr..
Hopkins return, lie reports that his ore
has been piled by the arastras ready
for working, when the rainy season
has made Dry creek a running stream.
The roads are in very bad condition be-
tween Fairview, Chloride and Her

and piled up sand, tree limbs, gravel
and boulders in places, really some of
the sand banks are hard to pull through,

distractions until renewed.

The Flood.

The winds, from north which
had been prevailing for some days,
brought the heaviest hail and rain
storm upon Chloride and vicinity
last Wednesday which it has expert
enced for more than a decade; the
river, long since dry, become a seethlng
rushing torrent, and in less than half
an hour from the fall of the first rain
drops, the foot-bridge became a dam,
over which the muddy water poured,
and tree trunks, with and without
roots. were carried down upon the
waves of the torrent like chips upon
the ripples of a purllng brook. At
first the water was of an ordinary gray
ish, earthen color, when the gulches,
which traverse the copper shale belt,
began to deliyef their waters into the
stream. and it became as though the
crimson tide had suddenly diverted
from the arteries of human life and
discharged into the tossing, seethiDg.
torrent whose rudy hue gave it the
appearance of coming from some
huge slaughter house. 1t was not long
before the stream overhowed it banks
and the streets we're CONVERTED into
water ways down which tree limbs.
planks and w~reckage, a a race for
supremacy. No lives were lost and
we are happy to report that the dam
age was small, and as the clouds rolled
bye we heard a citizen, who vas busy
digging a passage through the sand,
mud and rubbish in trent Of his door,
merrily singing
Only a summer shower,
Only a little rain
Only a foot or two of mud
That'll soon dry up again.
The heaviest dam age done by the
food occurred at the residence of DR..
E. P. Blinn. The water came down
with a rush from a dry qulch in the
real of the house, bringing with it
huge boulders that crushed through the
stable, wrecking that building instant
ly, and passing on to the house, hardly
giving Mrs. Blinn and the children
time to escape to the hill side. The
water coursed its way through the
house covering the floors with from
twelve to eighteen inches Of water and
debris. The damage was considerable
as carpets and many other a~rticals
were were drenehed with mud and
water. DR.. and Mrs. Blinn have
taken up their temporary abode in the
Otto house.

SO tenderly nursed all simmer, was
