The RAREST COIN.
Latest Quotation of Prices Paid In America.

Latest Quotation of Prices Paid In America
From the Boston Transcript.
The fad of collecting coins has be
come almost as complicated as tina
which has to do with postage stamps
Some numismatists devote their at
tention to gold pieces exclusively
others to silver money, and others tt
copper. The most conspicuous in th'
last category is B. II. Collins, who, or
one occasion, exchanged a one cara
diamond for rare cent. The rares
cents are. those of 1893, 1899 and 1904
but, as has been said, their value de
pends chiefly on condition. Badly
worn or mutilated specimens are
worthless. OF the oldstyle copper
half.cents the most valuable dates are
1876, 1881, 1886, 1910 to 1S4S and
1851. The half-cent of 1896 in firsi
class condition is worth $50.
The nickel cent of 1856, with flying
eagle, is worth from 81 to 50. Silver
8 cents piece from 1868 TO 1873 will
fetch from Is to 25 cents each. A con.
siderable premium attaches to hal
dimes of 1894 to 1897, 1900 to 1908
1905, 1888 without stars, and 1916
The half dime of 1902 is worth $50 in
perfect condition. The most valuable
dime is that of 1904, which is worth
from SO to SO. Other dimes at pre-.
MUM are those of 1896 to 1898, 1890
to 1905, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1922 to 1916
Twenty cent pieces of 1877 and 1878
are worth 50 each, if in fine condition
The most desirable quarter dollar is
that of 1S27-worth $40. The quarter
of 1928 is valued at S25. Other quar-.
ters at a premium are those of 1876
1904, 1907, 1924 and 1858, without
rays or arrows.
The precious half dollars, from the
collectors point of view, are those OF
1896 and 1797-worth respectively SAC
and S35. That of 1888, with an o un.
the bust, is worth SIS. Other hall
dollars at premium are those of 1894
1895, 1901, 1 "O2, 1915, 1886, with a
milled edge, aaad 1852. The perfect
silver dollar o. 1904 is worth s40O-in
"good" condition $3.50. Silver dollars
of 1888, 1889, 1851, 1852 and 1853 fetch
from 500 to $40. Other silver dollars
at premium are of the dates of 1894
to 1904, 1886, 1888, 1889, 1851, 1867
and 1858. The dollar of 1870 must
have five stars. For gold there is but
a limited demand by collectors, the
supply being plentiful. The reason fol
this is gold coins are carefully pre-.
served, whereas those of small value
particularly pennies, are handled care
lessly and lost.
The gold coins that fetch premium
are few, therefore. The double eagle
of 1S49 is worth $500. The eagles Of
17OS and 1904 will fetch $40. Hall
eagles of 1915 and 1922 sell for S35 to
S1OO each. Gold So pieces of 1878
and 1876 are worth from SIS to So,
while that of 1875 is quoted at sS to
$12. Quarter eagles of 1879, 1906 and
1926 are worth from IS to S12. All
gold dollars are premium are worth
from 81 20 to 81 40. Those dated 1868,
1864 and 1866 bring $3.50 to 81. The
gold dollar of 1875 is valued at s..

The EraZY BRAZILIAN.

Col Juan Miguel de Lacerda, the Bra
lillian, widely known throughout the
country as the man who came after the
fabulous millions of Gran Quivera, has
finally got himself into trouble. He and
four of his followers undertook to "shoot
up" the town of fatigue on Thursday
night last. They learned that Mr.. E. A.
Dow was out of town, and the colonel,
being in love with Miss Dow, considered
the time opportune to rush in and carry
off the fair girl. The shooting up" was
merely a preliminary one on the edge of
town to notify the residents that he was
coming. But the citizens ran off the
colonel and his henchmen to the mount
ans and on Friday constable and posse
went after them. A volley of bullets
greeted the posse. The fire was returned
and one of thu gang, Loujimio Lopez,
was killed. The colonel aud the other
three of his followers escaped, but were
finally captured and jailed at Los Lunas.
Yesterday they we're taken to fatigue for
trial before justice of the peace. Mer-
chant Dow was in Albuquerque yesterday
and upon learning what had happened
he hurried home to be present at the trial.
Mr.. Dow fears the people of fatigue will
hang the "stupendous fraud" as he calls
Juan Miguel de Lacerda. 1t is his opin-
ion that the Brazilian is crazy aud should
be closely confined in lunatic asylum.

SANTA FE LEADS.
The Surest Fruit Region in the Rocky
MOuntains-A Talk with Land
Agent Oliver.

Mr.. w. T. Oliver, special agent of the
land department of the A., Il. & S. F.,
with headquarters at Albuq uerque, spent
this forenoon in Santa Fe. During the
last sixty days he has travelled all over
New Mexico, examining the fruit or
chards, and no where does he find crop
that approaches the Santa Fe valley
showing. Mr.. Oliver has about reached
the conclusion that Santa Fe is the fruit
region par excellence of the Rocky
mountain country. He made many in
quiries concerning the price of lands
hereabouts and said a number of home
seekers would be steered this way at an
early day.
Recently Mr.. Oliver has been at OF
tawa, Kas., attending the national meet
ing of the religious order of Dunkards
He took with him samples of New Mex
leo mineral, coal, grain and flour and
found the delegates, 10000 in number
greatly interested in learning of New
Mexco's resources. The delegates from
Pennsylvania and Ohio have organized
to send a number of their leading mer
into this territory on prospecting tour
and when they come Mr.. Oliver says the!
will be brought to look over the SAINTS
! Fe valley.

Weather Bureau,
Santa Fe, N. NJ, June 8, 1896.
The week ending June was character
lied by very warm, dry weather, and al
most continuous sunshine. A few sta
tions report light showers on Monday
night and Tuesday, the heaviest being
OPT of an inch at Albuquerque.
This served to alleviate the extreme
dryness for short time, but the hot, dry
weather evaporated the most of it, leav-
ing everything apparently as dry as ever,
in day or two.
Crops that were freely irrigated made a
very satisfactory growth, but in some To-
calities the supply of water for irrigating
is getting low. The Rio Grande is re-
ported dry at Las Cruces and below, but
Rincon reports water for irrigating at
that point.
The stock ranges are in very discour-
aging condition and steadily growing
worse and stock getting thinner day by
day; on many ranges water is getting
very scarce for stock.
All crops that have not been irrigated
are ruined; but very little is attempted
in this line as irrigation is considered
necessary.
The first cutting of alfalfa has gener.
ally been made and light crop is re-
ported, but the second crop is now doing
very we'll where it has been irrigated
Corn is doing very we'll and looks quite
promising, and garden truck is looking
quite we'll.
Cherries are ripening and in some 10
calities there will be fair crops.
The following extracts from a few o
the reports received at this Office will b,
found of interest:

A BROAD GAUGE ROAD.
The ID. 4 X. Il. to Widen Its Line tG
santa Fe and Connect with the A.
4 lat Albuquerque.

Again the story that the Denver Il Rio
Grande is to have another Pacific coast
connection has been received, and this
time it comes from an authentic source
that trains will be running from Denver
to the Pacific coast over the Rio Grande
by way of Santa Fe and the Atlantic 4
Pacific road before sleighing will be good
again.
This is from the Denver Republican
of Monday and accords with what the
New MEXICAN has lately printed on this
subject. As is well known the D. & R.
G. now has surveyors at work on Veta
Pass seeking an improved route. They
have found one on Indian creek that is
lower and less crooked than the present
route and is some twelve miles distant.
When the work of converting the road to
standard gauge commences next month
this new route will be adopted. The Re-
publican adds:
"From present advices it is learned
that the plan of the Denyer & Rio Grande
owners is to make their line broad gauge
to Santa Fe. From Santa Fe the road
will be pushed on to connect with the At
lantic and Pacific road. This will make
the two roads connections on through
freight business to the Pacific coast"

A PIONEER CITIZEN DEAD.
Mr. Gerhard ID. Koch Passed Away
Last Nisht-Died of Cancer-The
Funeral Tomorrow.

Last night at 1890 O'Clock Mr.. Gerhard
d. Koch quietly and peacefully fell asleep
in death. The departed had been suffer
ing for year with cruel case of cancer
aud had gone to Denver to be operated
upon with the knife. But human skill
aud the unremitting attendance of his
devoted wife proved of no avail, for ever
after his return from Denver the deceased
saw death approaching. Mr.. Koch was
endowed with such a rare degree of genial-
ity of disposition that he was universally
we'll liked, and was favorably known in
the entire territory, having been asso-
ciated with the business interests of Santa
Fee ever since 1878. The deceased was a
native of lever, Oldenburs, Germany, the
home also of Mr.. Gerdes, of this city.
After the war Mr.. X och came to the Unit
ed States, after having spent some years
in South America and having acquired
such an easy flow of speech in the Span
ish language that he was always very
popular with the Spanish-speaking citi
zens. He then engaged in business in
Fort Wingate as post-trader, being agent
for his brother, Bernard, of Santa Fe, of
the old firm of johnson & Koch. After
ward he became the partner of the Eldodt
Brothers in San Juan, constituting the
firm of Eldodt & Koch, and in 1880 he
erected large and successful lumber and
hardware business which lasted until the
end of the year 1892.
Mr.. Koch was one of the first mem bers
of the A. O. u. W. lodge and its financier
until recently. He WAS also an ardent sup
porter of the German Lutheran church OF
this city and one of its organizers and
first and only vice-president.
The funeral will take place from the
church across the river occupied by the
Lutherans of our city tomorrow morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.
