NJ. Burke of Deming was 10 town
Friday, returning from q prospecting
trip. Mr.. Burke is an exhibition OF
what perseverance and good luck can
do for a nan A few years ago he had
no more ready cash than perhaps a
thousand other miners. He obtained
a lease on a property south Of Gage.
He went to work, and luckily struck a
large body of lead rich in silver. The
exact figures have never been made
public, but it is currently reported
that he cleaned up $40, 900 on ore sold
and $50, 900 more by negotiating a sale
Of the property. 1t is known, howev-
err, that the old gentleman is comfort,
ably Fixed, has money invested 10 sew
eral profitable schemes, and always
has money to loan on gilt edge secu,
rity. He has not forgot the fascina'
tion Of prospecting and often, simply
as a matter of pleasure, punches his
burros over the mountains for days
looking for the "oiggest thing or
earth"

e. A. Medrow went into the lower
country Saturday with a dispatch for
the soldiers. The dispatch proved to
be an order recalling the troops. On
Tuesday Chief Deputy Loomis and the
other deputy marshals came in ahead
Of the soldiers. Mr.. LOOMS reports
that the deputy marshals gave the
robbers a merry chase and succeeded
In scattering them. The closest they
succeeded in getting to them was on
Saturday evening, when they captHred
Black Jacks horse. The horse vas
badly wiDded and had been deserted
but a few moments. This was just at
dark and the scouts could not see to
follow the trail. Mr.. Loomis speaks
In highest praise Of Lieutenant Clark
and the soldiers, and says the lieuten-
ant was anxious to render assistance.
Mr.. Loomis thinks that Black Jack
aud Jesse Williams are still In the
Skeleton canyon country, and he has
not given up all hopes of getting them.
While out the deputy marshals gath
cred in Charles Shinn and John Cox,
who are charged with smuggling cat
tie. They waived examination before
United States Commissioner Kedzie,
and 10 default of $500 bail were sent
to jail to await the action of the grand
jury In the United States court which

Thursday evening of last week Code
Estes, Bob Hayes and an unknown
manscame into Deming, visited the
postofice, purchased ammunition and
provisions and left town. After they
we're gone it was ascertained they
were members of the Skeleton canyon
band of outlaws. Marshal Hall, who
vas guarding the Depot hotel, sent a
posse after them. All day Friday the
Demingites expected them to return
and hold up the bank and they were
prepared. Cashier Brown made his
peace with his Maker and was pre-
pared to die, and he promised John
Corbett and the other bank directors
he would die before he would give up
a dollar. A number of fighting men
laid in ambush in the vault. There
was a loaded shot gun or winchester
behind every store door in town and
no business IA went out after a
drink without packing a piece of artil-
lery with them. II the robbers had
only tried TO hold up the town they
would have found out they were not
mixed up with a sheriff's posse nor
a gang Of Uncle Sans blue coated In
dian chasers, but had met a number
Of indignant citizens and had ON hand
the fight of their lives. This outlaws
we're wise and did not return.
