DEATH OF AN OLD TIMER
William IT. Strachan Became One of
the Silent Majority This
Morning.

William T. Strachan died at st. Vim
cent hospital, in Santa Fe, at O'Clock
this morning, after lingering and pain
full illness. The deceased was born in
Pennsylvania sixty-six years ago and has
been prominent and respected resident
of New Mexico for many years. He was
mustered into the service by Henry Con-
nelly, governor of New Mexico, on Sep
tember 20, 1851, as a private in Capt. G.
b. Clark's company of New Mexico
militia. He was mustered out Of said
service at Albuquerque, on May 2, 1852.
Subsequently he engaged actively and
successfully in business; was member
of the 14th legislative assembly in 1863
and held various other public positions of
honor and trust; was sergeant-at arms of
the last territorial council. He was
recognized as an honest and upright man
and his death is sincerely lamented by
large circle of warmly attached friends.
His funeral will take place from Cables
rooms at $3.50 to morrow
morning and his mortal remains will be
buried in the National cemetery.

As to Advertising.

The Santa Fe New MEx1oAN's trade
edition issued June 81, shows much en-
terprise in the citizens of the ancient
town. And it seems something must
have awakened them to the necessities of
advertising. The NEW MEXICAN is one of
our leading dailies, and one of the most
important from the fact that it is pub
lished at the seat of government of the
territory, but has the reputation of being
the poorest patronized in every respect.
The people of Santa Fe probably thought
they would be rewarded ten Thousand
fold, instead of being satisfied with the
real benefits any other advertiser receive.
1t is hoped they will see the benefit de-
rived by liberal use of the NEW MEX
IcAN's columns in the future.-Springer

SHELTER AT CERRILLOS.
Location Secured for Large Reduction
Works at the Little Pittsburg--
Two Sixty-TOn Stacks-WOrk
Will Begin at Once.

Judge Laughlin has returned from Ger.
rillos, whittier he went on business con.
nected with the location of the proposed
new smelter at the Little Pittsburg. He
informs the New MEXICAN that, while
away, he arranged to exchange with F. P.
Sulzer, of Albuquerque, eighty acres of
land half mile east of Cerrillos for
eighty acres about the same distance
west of Cerrilios and south of the Galisteo
river. The land he thus acquired is the
smelter site selected by Mr.. Lyman N.
Cook, of Denver, and the judge will at
once transfer it to the smelter promoters
upon mutually satisfactory terms.
MIR. Cook assured Judge Laughlin that
as soon as he wired the fact of the trans
fer of the desired location to the moneyed
men he represented in Colorado he would
receive orders to proceed with the work
OF construction. He expects to begin on
Monday and from that time will press the
enterprise to completion with all possible
diligence. The first step will be the burn
ing of 100000 bricks on the ground.
The site selected is on a ridge prob
ably 200 feet above the Galisteo river
bed and is pronounced most convenient
and desirable by practical smelter men.
1t is the intention to connect it with the
Cerrillos Coal railroad by switch and to |
so locate the works that it will not be |
necessary to lift pound of ore, coal or |
tlux after such materials are delivered
there on the cars. The ore will be
dropped from process to process until it
finally energies at the bottom in the form
of bullion. Thence the bullion will be
hauled away by means of another switch.
Truly this is good news not only for
the miners of Santa Fe county, but for
those of Cochiti and every other mining
district in New Mexico. The many and
substantial advantages of Cerrilos as a
point are too obvious to need
explanation. The supply of superior
coal at that favored point is practically
Endless quantities of
iron and lime far auxpg purposes
are on the ground and both tim
Der and water are plentiful. More than
this, the hills of Santa Fe county,
Ill easily accessible to the projected
'melter, are ribbed with gold and
mineral veins, and thus
arge part of the ore needed to feed the !
works can be obtained right at home. 8
indeed, there are numerous large bodies :
Vt low grade galena at Cerrlllos that
will richly reward development with

The very latest information procured Y

ubject is that the new smelter will start y

emands of business. 1t is needless to h

Dr. HarrOun's Orchard.

A correspondent of the Farm and Or.
chard, Las Cruces, writes
This spring DR.. W. s. Harroun has
completed the setting of trees on his
thirteen acres of ground little less than
a mile from the plaza in Santa Fe. In
the spring of 1891 he planted the first
eight acres, putting in the very best
varieties of apples, pears, peaches, plums,
nectarines, apricots, cherries, ETC., sur
rounding them by nut trees, almonds,
English walnuts, black walnuts and
pecans; the latter were not successful.
Then he set himself to await, with no
little anxiety the result. The fight was
sore and hard, the experience large and
the resetting discouraging, but pluck and
grit have won. The trees give such good
promise that this year he has finished
what was already SO we'll begun. This
time the trees are all apples and pears, of
which he will have a succession for nearly
every month in the year. The soil of the
orchard Is light adobe under laid with
gravel, and the trees are eighteen feet
apart, the first row beginning with pear,
which makes the apples trees thirty feet
apart, for as the pears grow tall and the
apples spread out room is gained by this
method of alternate planting. The holes
for the trees were dug 3x3, and although
there was no solid rock formation nor
hard pan, each hole after being dug, was
shot with dynamite, the same being
placed a few inches below the bottom Of
the hole and which shook and loosened
the underground for a distance of about
twelve feet in each direction from the
shot The greatest pains were taken
when the holes were dug, to place the
earth first removed on one side of each
hole and the deeper earth on the other
so that in replacing, the top or best earth,
might be shoveled in first and so come In
immediate contact with the tree roots.
When the 700 holes we're dug, the aceq uia
was turned in and every hole filled with
water to the brim, after which sufficient
earth WAS thrown in to make each hole
The proper depth for a little tree. Near
The roots of each tree were placed animal
ZONES to give them food. The labor has
'een great, surely the result must be

willy REWARD.

Those familiar with the etFables of
Asop" will remember the reputation
which Reynard bears among the rest of
the animals. 1t is questionable whether
any wild creature can compete with the
fox in craftiness To look at him gen
orally, even in his ordinary habits, he
exhibits an amount Of cleverness which
astonishes one. Should fox catch a
hedgehog, whose spines efectually pro-
tect him from most of his enemies, he
does not waste time, as a fox terrier
will do. in endeavoring to worry his
prey. He merely rolls him to the near
est water, knowing that drop OR two
will cause the animal to relax his hold.
1t is a rare thing to catch one in a
trap laid at the door Of his "earth"
even. If he is inside when the trap is
set, he waits until some other animal
springs it and then energies to eat the
victim and the bait Only when driven
by the terrible pangs of hunger will he
tempt fate in his own person. Most an
imals gorge themselves when they are
fortunate enough to come across super
abundance of food. Not so with Reynard.
Should he find a poultry yard well
stocked and ill protected he fills his
larders first. Nor does he, as the prov
erb says, ''put all his eggs in one bas-
ket." He puts one fowl in a hedge,
hides another in bush, places third
in a hole in a tree. rapidly digsa cavity
for fourth and covers it up again, re-
membering in each case where his stores
are concealed. And when his supplies
are sufficient in his own estimation he
takes fine fat chicken or duck to his
''earth" for present enjoyment.

The Middle Temples Secret.

While making some alterations in
Middle Temple hall for the installation
Of the electric light into that stately
edifice the workmen found a box con-
eealed in a recess Of the wall neas the
roof. It was opened, and in 1t they saw
a skeleton in perfect state of preserva-
tion. From the appearance Of the bones
1t must have lain hidden there for a oon-
siderable time-perhaps couple Of GEN.
turtles Or more. Whether the skeleton be
that of lawyer Or a client cannot pow
be ascertained, or it may even be an o.
