NOTES OF INTEREST FROM THE
DIFFERENT CAMPS.
ANOTHER RICH sTIKE MADE
1t Is Reported on Good Authority That
the Holy Terror People Are Work

Game on Small Owners
THE HOLY TERROR ASSESSMENT.

No mine In the Hills during the time it
run. yielded SO much in proportion to
the capltal and labor expended as the
Holy Terror. and every thing went to IN
dlcate that it was to be continuous
producer and all reports were to the Of
feet that a large body Of ore was in
sight. The mine was sold and the pur-
chasers organized it into a stock com
pany; tins sale was made prior to the
settlement OF the suit, brought by the
Reed heirs and later the new company
settled with the heirs and paid them in
stock. There was also small amount
OF stock sold besides what went to these
heirs, but the great bulk OF it was owned
by a few men. Then came a long period
OF development work in the mine, during
all OF which time the mill stood idle,
with but one short exception, and they
are still developing. From those who
are in a position to know whereof they
speak it is learned that there is q large
body OF rich ore in sight on which the
mill might just as we'll be running while
development work is being done, but
this is not being done and now comes
five per cent assessment upon the
capital stock OF the company. Now if 1T
be true that this mine has, as stated,
this same body of rich ore on whish 80
many successful runs were mado under
the old management, why is this assess
ment made? 1t must be an old fash
ioned game OF freezeout. They have a
complete mill and outfit for working
the ore, why is it not done? The five
per cent assessment when money is so
scarce IS confiscation to many poor men
who own stock and if this is the scheme
it should not be tolerated, but set down
on hard by those whom they seek to
squeeze. We do not assert as fact
that the management of this COM
pany ia seeking to beat the smaller men
but simply men tion what is publicly
talked Ia the community and is be-
lieved by many. If it is true. no pains
should be apured to defeat the scheme
for nothing has impaired legitimate
mining SO much as the many schemes
devised for defeating returns to honest

Amazingly rich free gold ore The CLAIM
which il situated on the divide between
Buckeye gulch and Battle creek, less
than mile. as the crow flies, from town
was located on Wednesday by John
Snowie. The ground had been pre-
viously located BY other parties, who
for some reason failed to place the To-
cation on record. Snowie accidently
discovered good gold bearing quartz in
the upturned roots Of fallen tree on
the ground some weeks ago, and learned
that the requirement. Of the law in tho
matter OF record had been neglected,
waited for the time to expire before any
prospecting. When the location was
made enormously rich quartz was found
at the grass roots and little digging
disclosed a somewhat broken up vein OF
quartz five feet in width, all of which
yields heavy prospect in the pan, and
much of which sparkles with very large
shot gold Of a very bright color. The
owner is steadily at work prospecting
his property, but like others who have
suddenly sprung in fame, he is troubled
with a constant procession OF visitors,
all OF whom are hungry for specimens.
A months work will demonstrate the
value OF the find more fully than at pre-
present, though all the surface indlca-
tions OF a permanent and wonderfully
rich mine are apparent. Though the ad-
jacent ground is occupied, new inn
petus has been given to prospecting, and
many locations have been made.
John Phinny and Matt Graham own
adjoining claims.

is now on the ground and will be used

latter will be erected next to the ore

creditors. This firm has done business

ten years and their failure is deeply re-

have brought large sums of money into
tho conntry and used it freely for the
development OF the country and it is to
be regretted they have no Better reward

MINING NOTEs.

S. 3. White is a pleasant young gentle
man who arrived at Keystone from
Chicago. as a representative OF the par
ties who have recently taken an option
on the Golden Rod group OF mines.
Times: It is reported that eastern
parties are looking at some mining pro-
perty near Rockford with view to
making purchase. An expert ls ex-
aiming the ground and the deal will in
volve large sum OF money.
Pioneer: One OF the ore bodies on the
ST. Elmo group in the Southern Hills
has been drifted across for distance of
forty feet or more and the extent is still
undetermined. Assays taken give the
chute an average value of about $50 per
ton free milling.
Monazlte, the new metal which is used
for making light, is IN great demand in
the east Prospectors should pay some
attention to it as it is known to exist
in the Hills. 1t is of brownish color,
very heavy and is worth, we are in
formed, about twenty cents pound.
The UNION is informed con the quiet,

that something will happen-and

Baltimore, Dec. 4.-The report OF
Stephen Little, expert accountant OF the
Baltimore & Ohio reorganization COM
mittee, was made public to-day. He
found, among other things, an over-state-
ment of the net income amounting to
$2,72l,0 ,067 from June 80, 1891, to June 30,
1895. He also found that, of the $6,269,-
o07 paid in dividends during the period
mentioned, oA1as 1871 ,446 was earned.
The items wfthheld from the operating
expenses and the methods of swelling the
receipts each year are given in detail.
By writing up the value of stocks owned,
and other such practices, the net income
was swelled by amounts that should have
gone to profit and lose.
The total of improper entries ls $ll,-
204,85S for the seven years and two
months ending Nov. 80, 1895.
Concurrent with the stock dividend OF
2 per cent of 1891 was the sale to syn

common stock. In February, 1892, $l,-
$4,000 more of the common stock was
issued in exchange for 100, 100 shares OF
Pittsburg & Western common stock at
$18 per share.
Little says that the liabilities OF the
company to Nov. 80, 1895, were under
stated by $5,4S1,S34. The net increase of
the liabilities in the period under review
has been $22, 2,180,073.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-During an exciting
chase after thief on West Madison
street last evening, in which three police
officers and crowd took part, many
pistol shots were fred and three men
wounded.
They are: John McConahie, street car
conductor, shot through right hand; Po-
liceman Henry Connell, shot in the right
leg; Adolph Thorsen, hit in the back by a
spent bullet.
The thief was young fellow named
Henry Rogers, who had snatched a pocket
book from woman. He was finally
captured, after desperate fight, by Police
Officer Riley.
CHARGED WITH WIFE POISONING.
Pender, Neb.-Dr. j. Sydney Goodman
son has been arrested, charged with poi
soning his wife. She died 10 his office
under suspicious circumstances. A
chemical analysis of the stomach showed
strychnine poison. She had $4,000

A HUMAN FIEND HANGED.
McLeansboro, Ill.-Fred Benin, who
killed his wife and baby boy on Easter
Sunday last, was hanged to-day. The
crime was the most fendish ever COM
mitted in southern Illinois. After killing
his wife with an axe, he took his 3-year
old boy to the barn, put halter around
his neck and hanged lin to rafter. The
weight Of the child being insufficient to
strangle, the murderer pushed the boy
down by the shoulders until his tongue
protruded from his mouth and his eyes
were forced from their sockets.

four times and it was ready to pass the
senate. Mr.. Catron during his term has
secured favorable report from the COM
mittee, bat it is extremely unlikely that
it will be taken up at the coming session
of congress. Everybody in New Mexico
is in favor of statehood, and think that
there will be v"ry determined effors
mnde to secure her admission dnring the
next session. One thing that will help
us is the fact that there is no doubt that
the territory is Republican in politics.
The officers elected are very generally
Republicans, and Mr.. Catron was defeat
ed for congress solely on account of his
unpopularity in his own party. He only
carried three counties in the territory,
and these he carried only through the
most lavish use of money. New Mexico
is clearly entitled to admission to the
Union, not alone ou account of her pop
uation, but because of her great in
terests in cattle, sheep, the precious
metals and the rapidly increasing develop
ment of her agricultural interests New
Mexico is thoroughly alive and is making
more rapid strides than at any period in
her history. With the completion of the
enter prises | have mentioned and her
admission to the Union, she will be by no
