BURIED TREASURE.
Diaz' Enjoys Seeking Long Lost
Sacks of Gold in Grant
County.

A party of Mexicans claiming to be
special envoys of President Diaz are
prospecting for buried treasure in the
neighborhood of Santa Rita. The treas
ure is said to have been buried during the
Mexican revolution when the rule of the
Spaniards was overthrown. The party
who buried the treasure was en- route to
Santa Fe, but being com passed by danger
from the revolutionists as well as from
Indians were compelled to secrete their
treasure. There are said to be three large
sacks of gold, containing several hun
dred pounds of the precious metal. The
Mexicans who are searching for this treas
ure have maps, charts and data which
they think will enable them to locate it.
Several Americans have had their avari-
cious proclivities aroused since the ad-
vent of the treasure seekers, and they
also are working in quest of the buried
fortune.-Silyer City Enterprise.

Free Milling Gold Ore OIL
BOnitO Greek.

Mr.. Charles B. Mayer, deputy sheriff in
Lincoln county, talked most intelligently
and entertaininglY to a New MEXICAN
scribe last evening respecting the gold
mines at White Oaks and vicinity. He
fully confirms the rich gold strikes on
Bonito creek, about thirty miles south
west of white Oaks. 1t consists of lead
OF free milling ore, about thirty feet
wide, which runs $6 in gold and some in
silver. Inasmuch as there is plenty of
wood and water on the ground, xper-
fenced miners say that the lead would pay
we'll if the rock only yielded So to the
ton. 1t was discovered by Solomon
Berry, we'll known prospector and
ranchman on Bopito creek, and per-
fectly trustworthy man. What Mr.. Mayer
said touching the great gold mines at
White Oaks will be reported in these
columns on Monday.

LINCOLN COURT.
Result of Judge Hamilton's Term
Grand Jury Report-Lawyers
Ferguson and Fountain
Fined for Contempt.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Lincoln, N. NJ, April 17.-Judge H. B
Hamilton has just concluded a ten days
term of the district court here, disposine
of every case on the docket. On the
criminal side of the docket three convic-
tions were had. One feature that was
not down on the docket creates much
comment here. In cattle stealing case,
d. b. Ferguson, of Albuquerque, and
COL A. j. Fountain, of Las Cruces, ap.
peared as opposing counsel and the con-
test during the trial became so animated
that the court had frequently to call the
attorneys to order. Upon adjournment
for the day, just as Judge Hamilton was
leaving the court room, the attorneys re-
newed their conflict and from hot words
they came to blows, Mr.. Ferguson
striking Col. Fountain light blow in the
face. Friends separated the combatants
and next morning Judge Hamilton, upon
the opening of court, called the two at
torneys to the bar and fined them each
$50 for contempt. They apologized and
paid it.
Appended are some extracts from the
grand jury's report to the court as pre-
sented by Foreman Daniel Diehl and
Clerk ]. V. Tully:

tions We found the sherlff's books neatly

gave the committee ready aid in examin-
ing same.
"As regards statement in report of

In Clerk Sena's Office, we find that the
reason therefor was because Curry ne.
elected to file statements with receipts
from territorial and county treasurers in
several instances.
"The treasurer's receipt stubs checked
with the collectors accounts of moneys

statement from the old board of county
commissioners rendered our attem pt
vain to attain an accurate idea of the

would recommend that competent ex-
pert in bookkeeping be hired and given
lmple time to 60 over and check the &C.
,ounts for county officers for the last two
,r three years.

nent has been obtained against Eddy

MINE OPERATORS

Meet In Pietsburg and Discuss the Situa-
tion-Another Cut in Wages Expected
Soon.
PiTTsBURG, Jan. 3.--The Railroad
Coal Operators association of the Pitts
burg district held a meeting yesterday
and passed the following: Resolved,
that it is the sense of this meeting
that we hold ourselves in readiness at
any time to meet those responsible for
the breaking down o.. the scale of
prices agreed upon at the Columbus
convention for the purpose of readjust-
ing the price to such basis as to bring
about one price for mining throughout
the district, and until such a result is
attained the lowest price paid at COM
peting mines must of necessity be the
price paid by all the mines of the dis
trict.
At the meeting it was shown that the
sixty-nine-cent rate has been shattered
throughout the district, more than sew
enteen mines paying fifty-seven cents
ton, over dozen paying sixty cents
and not few paying fifty-fve cents.
1t is altogether probable that Monday
next a majority of the operators will
post notices ordering reduction to
fifty-five cents or lower.
