"The le-- Oh, George Henry, IL

fixing her liquid orbs on the limb before
her.
"But where did you get my leg?" I
reiterated, at the same time unfolding
the paper from the short one that I had
brought with me-
"Where did you get miner" she
screamed, hopping up from the lounge
and clutching the limb that I still held
in my hand.
"Yours - I gasped.
"Mine!"

Amelia sat down, too, and for about
two minutes we gazed into one anoth-

last spoke.

a cruel joke upon us! He bribed your

Then I kissed the dear creature, while
she laid her beautiful head upon my
breast and cried for Joy.
In conclusion am happy to inform
the reader that the wedding took place
at precisely 2 o'clock that day. Slymp-

him since, but when do see him-well,

A New Partisan Food.

Cancels flesh is the latest addition
to the Partisan bill of fare, Algerian
butchers undertaking to provide the
supply. The meat is said to taste like
beef, though white like veal. The hump

Arabs.

good wages, and he had seemed perfect
~ contented with his situation, and
served me faithfully until now.
Suddenly an idea struck me, and the
whole cause of SANS perfidy was re-
vealed to me.
"By heavens, it is Slympkins!' I
yelled. "Slympkins is the cause of all
my woe. He bribed Sam to steal my
leg on this my wedding day and leave
this insufficient prop in place of it. "

He is the only son of his father, who,

it, my dear sir, what could do? If he
had chosen Miss Short, Miss Ginx, Miss
Broad, or, in fact, any one but Miss
Amelia Seymour, it would have been

Slympkins to suppose that I would al

and tell him of the perfdy Of my serv-

The Bull Fights.

In the neighborhood of 5000 Americans
attended the bull fights in Juarez on Sun
day afternoon and fully that number of peo-
pie were disguised with the sport. Not
because the bulls or fighters were bad,
but because four innocent and helpless
horses were butchered. And it would be
a good thing If the Americans would posi-.
lively refuse to patronize bull fight
where horses were allowed in the arena.
The horses could be eliminated without
detracting from the sport and il the
Americans will refuse to attend where
horses are butchered horses will at once
disappear from the bull ring in Juarez.
There is no sport in seeing helpless
horse gored to death; and the horse fea-
ture was what the American spectators

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE

We haven't any Cripple Creek yet, but
we have the mineral here if properly
developed to make a camp equal to that
great gold camp of Colorado, and We
prophesy that during the coming year
this section will be the scene Of great and
surprising mining activity.
Should the Denver & Rio Grande com
pany conclude to build south from Pueb-
10 via La Veta pass, adding third rail
and making it broad gauge line to San
ia Fe then through to Cerrillos and this
part of the country and on to Albuquer-
que, as recently rumored, it would open
up one of the most extensive mining sec
tions on its whole line.
1t would be the means of thoroughly
advertising this region and would be the
most convincing evidence of it being
desirable one for the investor in mining
enterprises. Besides this it would be
paying venture for this railroad, as the
traffic 80 gained would oe immense.
q Taken rs a whole, the entire mineral
district south of Santa Fe presents rare
field for the investment of capital, both
in the extension of this railroad through
here and in the hundreds of promising
mining claims only needing development
to make them bullion producers and pay
ing mines.

Golden, Santa Fe County, Feb. 16, 1896
--Messrs. Cooke, Balcomb & Fuiton's
test smelter was blown in yesterday morn
ing and is running nicely. Mr.. Chas. n
Anthony, of Socorro, who he's just ar
rived with his family, is superintendent
in charge, with John Deboo and Geo,
Alexander as foremen.
Besides testing the copper ore from
their own property, the San Rafael, it is
the intention of these gentlemen to test
the ores from several different gold .ad
silver mines in camp.
j. s. Hutchison has force of men at
work on the Candelario mine taking out
ore to be milled or smelted as it's char
acter may require. We are informed that
he has struck some high grade sulphuret
gold ore in this mine and that present in
dications are that this ore body is quite
extensive.
If the big deal, referred to in the New
MEXICAN some two weeks ago, is consum-
mated this part of the county will be in
the "swim."
Our camp is still attracting the atten-
tion of the mining experts, four repre-
sentatives of large capital having been
examining different properties here on
the quiet during the past ten days.

PHOSPHATE.
1t is Found in Abundance near Mt.

1t is Found in Abundance near Mt.
Pleasant.
The phosphate fever continues to
spread, and is extending Columbia
ward. The latest find of the min
eral is in and around Mt. Pleasant,
and considerable interest is being
taken in the matter. The phosphate
seems to cover the whole face of
the earth" for an area of five miles
square or more, and is found in every
cut, while great deal of it is Just
lying loose upon the surface of the
ground. 1t is found is dark red soil,
and in veins varying from one to
ten feet.
The find has only been known to
the citizens few days, and, being
found in such quantities, it is nat
ural to suppose that it would create
quite an excitement in the cOmmun-
lty. But our reporter who visited
the scene says he did not find it that
way. The people are greatly inter
ested, and somewhat surprised over
the find, and say great streak of
luck has struck the town. The phOs-
plate is there, and in great quanti-
ties, and will be very easily mined,
which fact the people know, and
they think that very little time
will more fully show what they have
got.
There is only one company at
work as yet; they have leased two
or three small places, and have
agreed to pay ten cents per ton roy
atty as they find it in the ground.
For all that has been delivered on
cars they pay $l.25 per ton.
This phosphate is a reddish brown,
and differs from the Hickman
county mineral, which has a slatish
color. Biologists have said that the
mineral is always found near stratas
of slate, but the Mt. Pleasant find
proved that there are exceptions to
all rules; the phosphate there being
found in what looks like "sand
heap Mr.. Sidney Goodloe has the
phosphate piled in heaps on his
place and orchard; he thought il
was sand rocks and threw it up in
piles to get it out of his way.

Several parties living near Mt

farms, like so much loose rock, and
hauling it to the station, where they
find an unlimited demand at $l.50 d

1t is estimated that three acres o.
land leased by II. I. Arnold & Co
will pay the negro who owns il

containing l40 acres, bought by Mrs
John Frierson four years ago fol
