SOUTH SANTA FE COUNTY.
Budget Of san Pedro. Golden and DO.
lOres Mining Notes EncOur-
aging Operations.

J. 7. Mclaughlin, manager for the
this years assessment in the Copper
Belt at San Pedro last Saturday.
VIM. Swyers has done this years work
on the North Star lode, which joins the
Standard on the south.
Mr.. J. @. Bender is getting out ore from
the Silver Star lode near Golden, which
will be shipped to Pueblo for treatment.
The Ortiz mine, at Dolores, will soon
be supplied with steam holster and
pump. Indications are that the water
coming into the shaft will be permanent
and the mill will probably be moved TO
the mine.
Mr.. Overstreet, of Texas, who moved
his family from that state to Golden and
intends putting mp mill, has plenty OF
water in his we'll in the Tuerto arroyo.
Several thousand feet of lumber have
been ordered from Glorieta, which is now
expected daily on the ground, to build
the mill house.
Mr.. John Creighton, who bought the
Candelaria mine from Col. Hutchinson,
has kept big gang Of miners at work
extracting the refractory ore, which has
been shipped to the Creighton & Graves
smelters at Magdalena for treatment.
The ore taken out is very rich and there
is not the least doubt of its paying big,
as the very best mining men are in charge,
and the vein matter gets richer as they 60
down.
The Hall mill down the Tuerto, under
lease from the Fitzgerald d Argo COM
pany, has been doing the best milling
ever accomplished in the camp. On run
made for the Cullen q Deboo company Of
twenty y-seven tons of ore from the Broad
Gauge lodeit paid $S per ton. This same
kind of ore never paid over $4 per ton in
other mills. Another run of twenty y-seven

TOM RANDALL DROWNED.
The Tragic and Pathetic Death Of a
Former Visitor In santa Fe.

The Detroit Evening News of Monday,
November 2, prints this sad piece of news:
"Ali hope for Tom Davey Randall, son
of James A. Randall, who left his fathers
summer residence on Bois Blanc island
last Friday to 60 duck shooting, was
abandoned yesterday when his upturned
skiff was found floating in the lake.
"Young Randall started out Friday m orn-
ing with the skiff and duck-boat filled
with decoys. At night, when be did not
return, his parents became anxious.
There was heavy sea running, but Mr..
Randall secured tug and searched all
night. Next day several tugs and steam
launches we're employed, and after soour-
ing the islands and swamps in that
neighborhood, the duok-boat was found
on the beach about three miles from
Amherstburg.
"There was still hope that young Ran
dali had cut loose from the duok-boat
and found some place Of safety in his
sklff. The search was prosecuted all
day Saturday, and Saturday night Mr..
Randall went on one of the tugs, and
arranged with his wife that if any tidings
were received she would hoist the flag
above the house. The agonized father
carried field-glass, with which every now
and then he would look for the flag.
Once he was where the house could not be
seen for an hour and half. When it
finally came 10 view, and he saw that the
flag had not been raised, the revulsion of
feeling from hope to despair was so
intense that be nearly swooned.
"All Saturday night the search was
continued, and young Randsll's parents
did not abandon hope until yesterday,
when the skin was found in the lake,
floating bottom upward. No dragging
for the body near Point Msoix can be
done until the sea goes down, but young
Randali's fate is now considered certain" !"
Mr.. and Mrs. Randall and their beloved
only son "Tom" were residents in Santa
Fe three years ago and are kindly re-
membered by many. The deceased was
20 years old. The News report adds:
"For years past the lives of Mr.. and
Mrs. Randall have been wrapped up in
their son. No parent ever lived who
thought more of his boy than did James
A. Randall of the son whom he has loved
and lost, and his grief is terrible to
witness. He declares that he will never
live On Bois Blanc Island again."

not the time of the .snr3for iiarge vol
ume Of business, but confidence has been
restored and the future looks e1tremel y
hopeful"
"Do you think the business men of the
country want any currency legislation
this winter!"
II think that business interests are
looking forward to the time when that
question can be taken up by congress in
an intelligent and non partisan way" re-
piled Mr.. Hanna. "Party lines have
been broken down on that issue and it
now remains to be dealt with by the best
thought of both parties. The truth is,
our currency matters are in pretty good
shape. think there is nothing alarming
about the currency question.
"There is no question about the Re-
publicans of the west wanting conser-
vative tariff bill passed by this con-
gress.'
