DUNK HORST. 1905 7th st. nv. apS- err

official read in a Chicago newspaper Il re-
ward advertisement i'll which the adver-
tiser offered to give $500 to any man who
could supply him with an artificial ear, true
to nature. The ad. was handed to the
wizard"
II can do it, he said, after reading the
clipping.
The Cbica go man was communicated with.
He stated that while fighting with his
brother the latter had bitten his left ear
off. Hendley made an artificial organ OF
hearing. 1t was perfect in color, plia-
bilty size and touch.
TO RESTORE HEARING.
So complete was his work that the ari-
fetal ear after being attached to the man S
head assumed and maintained the temper
ature OF his body The wizard" received
the $500.
Recently. in this city, he has made q
delicate little arrangement and artificial
drum, which, when inserted in the ear
restores the hearing to deaf persons. He
has also made several false noses OF the
same composition from which the Chicago
ear was constructed
A friend OF the wizard said today 1t
would pay Il capitalist to take Hendley in
hand and place some OF his marvellous crea
tons on the market.
.It Is a pity" he added, THAT man
with such wonderful and mysterious tai.
eDts and gifts is wasting them as is Hend
ley"

FOLLOWS No RULES.

He could copy anything true to nature,
but never followed any known chemical
rules or formula in making his wonderful
compositions. When asked how he did 1t,
the remarkable Old man replied:
Il don't know. 1t Just comes to me
from the great somewhere. When enter
my den TO commence work Oh specimen
Inever know just what am going tomake
my composition of. For this reason when
die my secret will die with me, as can
not communicate it to mortal. 1 don't
know what to communicate. The stuff l
make each piece of work with comes to ME
suddenly in solitude, like a dream or reve
| lation."
One of Hendley's greatest pieces Of work
was life-size representation of colored
youth sitting by the side Of a stream. A
rough fishing rod is in one hand, with a
| line alta ched, and bottle cork for a
bob The angler is asleep, and at his
feet are several catfish, lying in the sand,
| and appearing natural enough to wriggle,
| as a lady once expressed it. This piece
| was Senator ShermaD's favorite, and he
| advocated placing it in Statuary Hall at
the Capitol, as an exhibit Of American skill
and genius. The fisherman and catfish
| are now oD exhibition at the National
| Museum.
COULD MAKE A DIAMOND.
Wizard" Hendley also made all the life
size types OF American fishermen which,
| were the feature Of the Fish Commission's s
exhibit at the International Fisheries Ex-
| hibitions at London. These figures, too
are now exhibited at the National Museum.
| Hendleys work in making limitations OF
mankind is remarkable and realistic.
The late President Garfield once called on
the Wizard and inspected some OF his
phenomenal work. He was particularly
struck by a fruit piece. Hcndley was re-
| producing an ancient and valuable flint
arrow head when Mr.. Garfield called. The
officials of the museum were anxious for
a perfect copy OF the arrow head. Hendley
made it in color, hardness, appearance and
even weight and surprised the scientists
| one OF whom said to him:
"Hendley, l believe you could repso-
duce diamond which would pass for an
original"

yesterday, may be classified as another
case of the unexpected happening, 80
far as the particular we'll in which it was
found is concerned. But the presence of
coal oil in close proximity to the ex
tensire coal deposits of south Santa Fe
county has long been suspected BY per
sons who have carefully studied the gen
eral subiect of petroleum and the partic-
ular formation of the district mentioned,
and, however much the explorers for an
underground flow of pure water at Ger
rillos might been surprised to tap vein
of oil, these students of the subject did
not share in this surprise. 1t was what
they expected and with good reason. The
formation at Cerrillos and extending
number of miles west and south thereof
shows such nnmistakble signs of oil that
our only source of surprise is that ii
has not long before been thoroughly
prospectod for this valuable natural
product. 1t might be remarked right
here, however, that, before the notable
and encouraging strike above mentioned,
a company had been formed, large num-
Der OF claims located and definite ar
rangements made thoroughly to prospect
the extensive coal fields of this county for
petroleum. The strike at the Little Pitts
burg has thus been made just in the nick
of time to inspire aud encourage this
prospecting company to pnt forth its
best efforts TO prove the value of it's land
holdings at the earliest date possible.
Readers of the New MEXICAN can depend
upon these columns for the very latest
and fullest particulars touching the prog
ress of the company's work.

The retirement of Prof. 7. D. A. Cooke
relt from the agricultural college is a
matter of deep regret among many citi-
zens. AS an entomoligist Prof. Cockerell
stands in the front rank of western
students of this science, and his work at
the college and especially in behalf OF the
fruit growers of New Mexico has been of
great merit. As lecturer and writer
he is able and entertaining. Whittier
fortune may lead him, Prof. Cockerell will
carry with him the assurance of the es-
TEEN and best wishes of the educators Of
New Mexico.

The BORDER Cattle Interest.

The idea that the i'm ?ortations decrease
the price of the local stock is the most
mistaken one in the world. There have
been numerous buyers in this section this
winter and spring who would not have
come but for the knowledge that if sufi-
cient stock could not be purchased 10 the
United States supply could be had from
Mexico. Every one has bought all he
could obtain from the cattlemen here be-
fore gong south and the result has been
that prices have been higher and the de-
mand greater than for years. Every head
Of stock which was for sale was contract
ed for long ago. And all of this is inde-
pendent of the great benefit which comes
to the business men here from the ship
Notwithstanding Headlight.

Gold at Cripple Creek.
soc. and 500 at all druggists,

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Creek,
Colo, ia attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be enor-
nous. That there is an abundance OF
gold there is dem onstrated beyond doubt.
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the Santa
Fe Route, the only standard guage line
direct to the camp. Through Pullman
sleepers and chair cars. The Santa Fe
lands you right in the heart of the Cripple
Creek.

BIC CROPS ASSURED.

There is no estimating the bounteous
promise which the storm of Saturday and
Sunday brought to the central Rocky
mountains and the plains region lying to
the east. Southern Colorado, northern
New Mexico, western Nebraska and west
ern Kansas we're the chief benefciaries.
Starting in at Omaha the storm seems to
have cut swath through Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado and New Mexico about 500
miles in width. It's northern edge touched
Denver, its southern edge Albuquerque.
From one to five inches Of preci pitation
were the direct result, while indirectly it
served to fill the mountain canons with
snow that will yield water for the valley
farmers for months to come. II was q
most timely and welcome visitation that
will yield immense benefits to farmer,
fruit grower and stockman.
