HILLSBORO,GULD PLACERS

From the Albnquarquf Democrat
Hydraulic mining on larg'
scale, as it was carried on in Cah
fornia before the "anti slickops
decisions, never has baan tried in
New Mexico, but there is pros
ppct t-vlrtually q cattaiuty -that q
Eydrenlic enterprise Of ma lnitu t.
will be undert,ken very soon IN
this territory by company o
Ohio capitalists.
Tie scene of operations will be
the placer fields east Of Hilsbpro
IN Sierra county These placera
have been worked in small way
on the surface by Mexicans since
1874, and although no water has
been ootainabIe and the gold has
been extracted by dry washing,
the miners have made good wages
The Ohio people have been pros
pecting the ground and studying
the problems involved for SIX
months, and have spent $4,000 in
preliminary work. Their engi
neers ana hydraulic experts from
California have made topograph
ical surveys, sunk shafts and test
ed the ground thoroughly, and
all have made favorable reports
The auriferous gravel bed Ia about
sixty feet thick, covers 1000 acres
and is all pay dirt The operators
have secured much of this by pur-
chase and have options on the rest,
and the options will be taken up
withip few days.
Water for working the mines
will be impounded at the head of
the Animas river by dam 150
feet high. and will ba conducted
to the plAcers through fourteen
miles OF thirty.inch riyited steel
pipes and discharged through
Monitor nozzles under a pressure
Of 800 pounds.
After doing its work in the
banks and sluices, the water will
be conducted to basins where the
debris is to be dropped, and then
impounded again in reservoir
on the mesa, formed by damming
the Percha. From this rese,voir.
irrigation canals will conduct the
water to about twelve thousand
acres of arabic land between the
mesa and the Rio Grande.
The estimated cost Of tho enter
prise, including the purchase Of
ground and the construction Of
lams and pipe lines, is about
100000, and il the gravel aver
ages but few cents to the cubic
Yasd the yield will be up in the
Millions. The deal is now in such
/ shape that these is every reason
o believe that ths work of build
pg dams and pipe lines will be
.tarted by the frst Or August

crease and decides whether or not a partic
ular fabric or garment shall be worn.
This being the case, 1t Is for the individual
members of the public to decide whether
they will aid the setting of absurd styles
by adopting them or help to destroy them
by ignoring them. The Princess Of Wales
is considered by English women the pat
tern of good taste and fastidiousness, as
far as dress is concerned, and otherwise,
for that matter, but she always avoids ex-
travagant fashions and modifles the styles
to suit her own ideas of what is becoming
and suitable. She has been a great beauty
and is still very handsome, in spite of be-
ing grandmother and 1t is not indiffer
ence to her appearance, as in her mother
in law case, that renders her impervious
to the fascination Of novelty merely as
novelty. There is no woman in this coun-
try who can be to Americans what the
Princess of Wales is to English women,
but this is an advantage, for it compels
every woman to BIO her own princess and
decide for herself what is polite and fitting

and buttons of pale horn The close bod

hind and pointed in front, is similarly en-

A Miraculous Cross in the Sky

A miraculous cross upon the heavens
was seen by Hungus, King of Picts.
1t was at time when AchaiuS, King
of the Scots, and Hungus were routed
by Athelstan, King of Northumberland
They had been defeated at every turn,
and in their disordered flight had come
to East Lothian. The first night in
the country last mentioned was one Of
terrible forebodings to the fugitive
kings, and during his troubled sleep
Hungus dreamed Che claimed it to be
a yisiom that he saw the cross of Saint
Andrew (the X held out upon the sky,
and that it waved back and forth ''as Il
signal for him to press on to victory"
Early the next day the fugitives be.
gan to retrace their steps, and during
the day, so tradition says, Hungus and
all his army saw verification of the
previous nights vision or dream in the
shape of a titanic Saint Andrews cross
clearly pictured on the heavens. All
of King HunguS' soldiers, being now
satisfied that the sign was token of
victory, were only too anxious to meet
the Northumberland invaders, from
whom they had ben flying in such wild
disorder the day before, and if history
is to be believed, they did meet AthelS-
tan, whom they killed after they had
utterly annihilated his army.

met an elderly man walking about the
grounds, and from his dress, which was
q semihunting costume and not TOO
new, thought the man to be retainer
of the duke. The stranger asked the
man to show him about the place,
which the person did, pointing out, ex-
planning and listening to the visitors
comments on the duke and the family
with interest and received with thanks.
a half sovereign to requite him for his
trouble. The following day the visitor
rode out to the hunt and in the master
of the hounds, who was also lord heT-
tenant of the county and Duke of West
minister. he recognized his guide OF the
day before. 1t is explained by the en-
thusiastic fellow countrymen of the
duke that the reason the great man did
not decline the tip" given him by the
visitor was his fear of disappearing
the stranger. 1t would have been so
utterly out of character for an English
servant to decline money that the peer
would have been obliged to disclose his
identity to explain his refusal.

Doctors Starving in France.

In the British Medical Journal Par
is correspondent says at least $500
physicians in France are battling with
starvation, and he adds that physicians
themselves are largely responsible for
this state of affairs. They have taught
lady patronesses of different societies
to diagnose diseases, to dress and band
age wounds, to vaccinate their own
children and those of their neighbors.
Medical science is vulgarized in every
way. Doctors write in important daily
papers explaining how bronchitis and
cramps of the stomach are to be cured.
and in fashion journals they teach how
to cure pimples and avert hea daches.
Five hundred thousand gratuitous con-
sultations are given yearly in Paris dis
pensaries, and in this way a large
amount of fees is diverted from the
medical profession"
