crystal is the result of the shcck and shows

A stampede Of frightened people from
the Orpheum was barely averted. The
theater was crowded with a large audience
the greater number of which consisted of
women ana children. Gilbert and Goldie
were conducting humorous dialogue, the
latter playing the part of q blindfolded

q sort of tramp Svengali who
was to make the subject do all sorts of i'm
possible mind readings through his will

seismic disturbance, as experienced in the
theater. came as a single, gigantic shock
in which the place seemed to suffer quick
wrenching. The boxes and galleries
creaked and groaned, the floor of the audi
torilIm heaved, and the audience almost
without exception started for the aisles
and exits.
Just at that moment Gilbert, still wear
ing his expansion smile, leaned far out
over the footlights and warbled, ''That's it; !;
that's the electricity by which | make my
subject obey my irresistible will"
1t was not a very logical nor very con-
sistent observation, but it was effective,
and the almost panic stricken audience
was instantly quieted. Many really thought

thought OF the phenomenon is not known,
but his apt wit and his patented, compre-
hensive smile did good work.

CHICKEN THIEF CAPTURED
A Young Mexican Caught in the Act
Of Stealing Fowls
jured-He Is Believed to BE . Chronic
Offender

Jaun Roche was taken to the police sta
ton yesterday morning for treatment for
pistol shot wound in the arm, after which
he was locked up on charge of petty lar
ceny. Roche is young Mexican, and if
all that is said of him is true, and enough
is known to make it probable, owners of
poultry in the vicinity Of his donicile will
rest easier now that they know that he is
behind the bars.
len days ago Roche was noticed hanging
about the place of L. J. Rivers, at No. 500
n. Hill street, and the next hight ten valu-
able black Spanish chickens were missing.
Since that time Mr.. Rivers has been un-
easy whenever he heard a noise among his
chickens. Early yesterday morning, Just
as the servant girl was about commencing
her daily duties, she heard a racket
in the chicken yard, and looking
out the window saw Roche chas-
catch them. She promptly notified Mr..
Rivers, and that gentleman. without wait
ing to dress, grabbed his pistol and
rushed out into the yard. The Mexican's
blood was up, and he was so intent upon
bagging his prey that he did not notice that
over him before he saw him. With yell,
"That is my chicken!" Roche turned and
ran toward the gate with Mr.. Rivers in
pursuit, calling him TO stop. The Mexican
paid no attention to the command to halt
and Mr.. Rivers fired shot into the air.
This only had the effect of accelerating
the Meyican's speed, and seeing that lie
was about to escape, Mr.. Riv-
ers took shot at him, wing
ing his man, and bringing him to a stand
still. Roche was held until the arrival of
an officer, when he was taken in charge
and carried to the police station. An ex-
animation showed that he was not badly
hurt, the bullet, which was of very small
caliber, having only passed through the
heshy part of the arm,
Later in the day two sacks, one contain
ing two chickens and the other three, evil
IDENTIFY dropped by Roche, were taken to
the police station.
For some time past owners of chickens
on Montreal street, Bellevue avenue and
other streets in that neighborhood, have
been missing chickens. The thief was evil
IDENTIFY a fancier, as he always selected the
best birds in the pens, and in one instance
fine flock of White Brahmas disappeared
in a single night. 1t is believed that Roche
is responsible for the thefts. He has been
convicted once before of petty larceny,
and his chances for term in San Quentin
penitentiary are very flattering.

A PRACTICAL MINING MAN.

To those In this city who are not person
ally acquainted with Prof. B.. F. Giltner,
The Optic will state that he Is a graduate
of the Kentucky university, that his first
work, after leaving college, was under
Prof. Shumond, state geologist of Ohio,
and since that time he has spent thirty
years in practical mining, always being In
the employ Of large mining corporations
as mining engineer and geologist. He has
in this time done more or less expert work
in every state from Virginia to
the Pacific coast. He is at pres
ent in the city, on business and
pleasure combined, and has, himself,
several men at work. about twelve miles
west of this city. He GEMS to be very
conservative inhis views on mining, and
does not give it out that good pay ore will
positively be found west Of this city, but
says that there is every Indication of it, If
a depth Of 100 feet is reached, and IL ore is
found any place about Las Vegas, it will
be in one or both of the mineral zones, Of
which he spoke In a recent interview with
a reporter for The OP1Ic.
This much is said of Prof. Giltner in view
of the fact that the mining operations now
being carried IN In this vicinity are Largely
upon his suggestions and under his direcs
tions. -.r@,

The Elizabethtown, Hematite and Badly
district, In the immediate vicinity OF
Elizabethtown, Colfax county, and old
Badly mountain, offers to prospectors one
OF the finest fields in the United States. II
is practically virgin territory; although
the placer mines have been worked for
years, no one has ever looked for veins or
leads to any great extent. The uncover
ing of the great ore body, known as the
"Ajax," has opened the eyes of prospec-
tors and miners who had walked over the
ore for twenty years, not thinking Of the
vast wealth hidden In the black lime rock
that cropped out OF the side OF the noun
tain and called the trim rock by the min.
ers who worked the placer gravel lying in
the gulch cutting the great ore body.
The appearance Of the ore, according 10
the vernacular Of prospectors, was "Too
ornery to even merit prospecting When
the discoverer and part owner showed the
ore to his associates, some pronounced IL

was wasting his time In developing It.

LINCOLN COUNTY MINING NOTES.
JIcARrLLAs.
An OPTIc reporter on recent trip down
there found that the Jicarilla camp is
being visited by several Colorado mine
operators, who desire to invest In that
camp. They are all favorabIy impressed
with the mineral showing there, and do
nothesitate to express a very fatteffng
opinion as to the future that lies before 1t.
Rich placer discoveries have recently
boen made 10 the Jicariilas and men oper-
ating-with dry washers are making good
wages, although not saving over % per
cent. OF the gold. ss
It is entirely safe to say that the mineral
region of the Jicarillas Is at least adye miles
square, as placer gold andsi odes have been
staked out to that extent and still there il
vacant ground.
What ia most wanted Id this camp. ID
money to bach well directed effort In the
development Of the numerous ore chutes.s
No mother vein has yet been found but
when the thousands Of acres of rich placsrs
and their wide spread distribution ara con-
sidered, 1t must be concluded that there
exists a source Of great richness
New strikes on ~ore'chutes are constantly
being made. The ore 10 sprincipaliy COM
posed of iron and II is realized that 10 such
finds will be discovered and uncoveredsths
mother vein or veins Of the JicarfIla dis

Mining timbers are In quantities of ex-
~cellent quality and easily obtaiied.
Water is rather a scarce article and hard
to iind. Wood for fuel is very abundant
and can be bought at NOT to exceed 81 .75

The ore in the Jicarilias appears tore.
quire a cyanide process treatment as
there has been go far found but little free
milling. Such a process would show this
camp in its true colors and to be a leader
among New Mexico gold camps.
WHITE AKs
The Old Abe Co. have been running their
twenty stamp mill on ore from the dump,
and with excellent results. The cave-in
of the mine was a dire calamity for White
Oaks, but the new departure indicates q
brighter prospect for the future.
Other mines on Baxter mountain, the
only mineral section OF the White Oaks
district, are idle and nothing is being done
with them. Some parties are doing their
assessments and developing their proper
ties at the same time.
Railroad news is a scarce article and II
Ia difficult to hear ANYTHING definite. It is
to be hoped that the expenditures Of Eddy
Bros. will not have been made fruitlessly,
as all that section of country needs is a.raiI-
road to export the vast mineral sources II
possesses at different points, and to get
people with capital to look over 1.-THE
latter a hard matter to accomplish as IL
now is, owing to isolation DIV
