PURE DRUGS
A NECESSITY.

When sickness visits the home and
the family physician is called to pre-
scribe medicine for the relief of the
suffering one, the first thought is
where can pure drugs be pro-
cured?" If the family happen to be
patrons of the drug store west end
of kennebec bridge, as many Au-
gusta families are. this important
question IS Immediately answered,
aud the messenger is at once de-
spatched to that well-known and
reliable apothecary establishment.

Dexelopment al I4a Belle.

Henry Hartig came up from LIS
Belle, the new camp In New Mexico
just across the Colorado line, and
about forty miles south of Antonito,
says the Denver Times. The camp is
reached by stage from the latter point
and also from Trinidad, which il dis
tant about sixty-fve miles. Said Mr..
Hartig: "I'he camp is developing
rapidly, and in some Of the claims ore
has been found which would justify
shipment if the transportation facilities
were better. In some instances won
derfully rich veins have been uncovered,
and there is every prospect that the
development OF the present year will
show great improvement. We can't
expect to do much, however, until we
get transportation, as under present
conditions nothing under $50 ore will
bear the charges. The indications
are, however, that the ore will improve
with depth constantly, and In that
event shipments will commence. I saw
a piece of ore weighing 500 pounds,
which is very rich, an average assay
from pieces broken off from different
parts of the mass, showing a value of
1000 to the top."

Of this work right here 10 camp. The
president and financial manager are
expected here this week. The mines
and mill building and running are all
under the management OF the superin-
tendent, r. L. Nichols, an old miner
and mill man.
There is a good deal of prospecting
going on here besides development
work. Among those that are being
worked are the "Dundee," the "Chal-
lenge," the "Enterprise," "Oro-
Fino," "Eldora," "Yellow Wasp"
.'Black jack" "Yellow Jacket"
"Buckeye Boy" "Pansy Blossom"

the "R G T."
The "Golden Gate" is now in about
twenty feet and IS showing a large
body Of good milling ore. The vein is
getting larger and better as the tunnel
proceeds into this mountain OF ore.
Among the prospectors in camp are
Higgins and brother, of Ratcn, who
have struck a fine vein of ore, about a
mile below camp, and are now putting
up a house and blacksmith shop, which
indicates that they mean business,
right from the shoulder. Hilibish and
Woodward, from La Junta, are located
near the Higgins, and are preparing to
push their development work right
along. Neil Garrison and White are
late arrivals from Trinidad, and are
preparing to prospect and develop the
property located late last fall. An
other party have lately put in an ap-
pearance from near the Hub City of
Boston, Mass. They are not miners,
but want to buy a group of claims and
develop them and put up a mill and do

To Tie Editor Of the Optic:
Willow GULcH, Badly Mountain,
Coltax county, New Mexico, April 9th.
AT this writing, this section OF coun-
try IL full Of railroad people, and, from
the amount Of rushing around, one
would suppose that a train would be
here, Sunday. Whom they all repre-
sent is a mystery, but one party Is GER
tainly representing the Rock Island,
from the address Of the party and the
connection of the other parties 10 yet
unknown. A rumor prevails IN the
Cimarron can0n to the effect that q
town site Is to be located and called
Barela. II such Is true, It must named
after Senator Casimiro Barela, of Trini-
dad. Who the parties are cannot be
a~scertained for certain, but Trinidad
people are here looking after 1t.
Whether it Is the Atchison, Topeka g.
Santa Fe, or the Denver & Gulf, no
one knows, but the cage Is open and
the bird will get out s0on.
The wagon road from Ration to
Elizabethtown is lined with outfits
going to the mines. The prospectors
are all at work and new strikes are be-
coming the conversation on the streets
and trails.
A new milling company have CON-
menced work on their mill which
will be placed on the "Yellow Jacket"
at the mouth of Hematite gulch.
Ferguson & Gillen are still ross
cutting the ore shute.
Baron Van cullen has the Ponil mill
about ready to commence operations.
The great "Ajax" mine is still in
ore and the new mill will have its
whistle cord pulled in . few days.
A new company Of %prospectors have
ei6 BIT claims parallel with each other
on the black ~phan0lite, In the Cim-
arron canon. From the present ore
body they have in sight two good
mines that could cover up a twenty
stamp mill in twenty-four hours.
II. HI. Hawkins stage line is doing
a lively business and his freighting
teams have their share of goods to
haul. He will put on two more large
freighting teams, this coming week.
Elizabethtown is booming, the new
restaurant is a gem, the new Arcade
saloon is a credit to the mountains.
JohE Turner has 200. 900 pounds of
potatoes on hand which he Is disposing
OF at fifty cents a hundred.
A rumor has just come in that the
"Red Bandana' mine and mill have
been shut down and sold to Messrs.
Stevens and associates, Of the s.Iron''
mine, at Leadville, Colo, for $780,
900.
The placer men are in activity pre-
pairing for large returns from the gold
reserve left in their ground last year.
From the present influx of people into
this section, | can see no reason why
the votes at the next election will not
be ~canvassed at the county seat, To-
Gated at some point near here.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 1e, 1895
HAPPILY ANSWERED..

If it be true, as is charged by a number
of Washington correspondents of the
prominent newspapers, that the favorable
report made by the Territories committee
on the admission of New Mexico is part of
a log-rolling scheme, gotten up to secure
the delegates from that Territory for one
of the candidates for the presidential nom
ination at st. Louis, this is the most dis
graceful thing which has yet come up in
connection with the making of new states.
1t was bad enough and inexcusable enough
to admit states with a view to helping out
the political exigencies of a party, but to
add a state permanently to the member
ship Of the union for the purpose of ad-
Nancipg the personal fortunes Of al as
pirant to the presidency would be an
outrage which could not be charac-
terized in ordinary language. AS
TO the thing itself, we have more thar once
dwelt on the utter injustice and a%bsurdity
of the proposition. 1t would take the
population of nine states like New Mexico
to make a state having the average popu-
lation of the forty-ive states now in the
union. On the basis of population, if New
Mexico had two senator's, the average
number of senators which each OF the
states now in the union would have is eigh-
teen. Maryland would have fourteen, and
New York would have seventy-eight. But
they would continue to have only W
each, while New Mexico would add its
senatorial vote to those of the Rocky
mountain states, which, with an ~insignif-
cant population, already control a very
large fraction of the vote in the upper
house of congress. baltimore NeWs.
In commenting on statehood qusli6-
cations the New York Times talks
similarly to the Baltimore paper, above
quoted, and is answered by the Denver,
Colo, NeWS, which paper taking the
last census as the basis of calculation,
finds that its own state of Colorado,
with a population of 419,19S, has four
votes in the electoral college, or an
average Of one vote for each 1O4 ,799 |
persons.

sentation of some of the stagnant and
