GRANT COUNTY MINES.
Notes Regarding Fruitful Develop.
ment Work in the Mines of South
western New Mexico.

Clark Rodgers brought trial shipment
of ore from the Ruby King mine to the
Silver City reduction works Saturday
from Lone mountain. If the shipment
proves profitable, Mr.. Rodgers will work
the mine extensively, under lease.
Thomas Knucky is working six men on
the Caldwell and st. Louis mines in the
Psschal district. He is producing about
twenty-five tons per week of average
grade copper ore, besides small amount
of high grade ore. The ore is shipped to
the Silver City reduction Works.
Bell g. Stevens are sinking on shaft No.
l on the Pacific mine at Pinos Altos. The
shaft has reached depth of 40 feet.
They are also pushing work on the Nina
Grande. The mill is kept steadily EN-.
ployed crushing ore taken out in doing
development work on the mines.
The Treasure Mining company, of Pinos
Altos, has fifty men employed in the mine
and mill. The ore is very base and but
small proportion of the gold value is
saved on the plates. The concentrates
which are made contain the greater per
cent of the value. Five tons of concen-
trates are produced daily. The property
appears to be paying handsome profit.
A big strike of rich ore was made in
the Big Blossom mine, Bald mountain
district, owned by Crawford and Wood
ward last week. The mine has hereto
fore had good body of ore and has been
producing twenty-five tons per week,
which have been shipped regularly to the
Silver City reduction works. The new
strike is an increase in both quantity and
quality. The ore body is over four feet
in width and will average over 500 per
ton in gold and silver. Eight men are
employed at the mine. IF the new ore
body holds out, this property will be one
of the great bonanzas of the west.

Talcose group of mines, at Pinos Altos,

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.


SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTER-
EsT1Na TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW TO GUARD
AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers and
to post them concerning the cause, first
symptoms and treatment is the object of
this isem. The origin of Group is COM
mon cold. Children who are subject to
it take cold very easily and Group is
almost sure to follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the attack.
There Is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For
sale by all druggists.

That Dam Project.

Col. Anson Mills and Secretary Hopper
are back from Washington to join Com
missioner Osborne and Secretary Malli-
fert to complete their official report on
the international dam project.
The only obstacle that seemed to be in

reasonable depth. This Engineer
Ibarrala has found to his perfect satisfac-
tion. ...
The dam will be built. The two gov
ernments have gone SO far in the matter
that it is now impossible to fail 1t

to an early realization is being guarded
against most vigilanty.
The dam is in good hands and the pres
ent administration is anxious to make it

Gems were rot cut until the 10th or
18th century, being used in the rough
before that period. As early as 2,4O0
years before Christ precious stones were
used as ornaments. and more gems were
cut during the Roman empire than dur
ing any other period. Later Venice and
Genoa became the great gem markets of
the world, and upon the discovery of the
new world, its supply was called upon
to furnish the old world. The prehis-
toric races of he new world made great
use of pearls. and some of the finest seen
are vet to be found in the continent
discovered by Columbus. India was the
first country to produce diamonds, the
finest precious stones, and at one time

TO THE BLACKBlRD.


Bird with the saffron bill, "t
Like close-furled crocus bud in early
spring,
Thou makest all the bleak and dreary void
Melodiously to ring. ..........,.
Thy sanctuary CLEANS like FURNISHED
The thin larch copse that fronts the wan
ing sun, ..
This is the haven that thy soul has won;
Its charms are manifold.
Warm on its banks the shortening sun
beams lie,
Its trembling spires are kindled into flames;
And see the pulsing planet that proelaims
The night fast drawing nigh. -..r ..
There, where the shadows yet more close
ly cling,
Those fluent notes of thine are swift out
rolled,
And the tired shepherd, leaning Ger his
fold
Fingers to hear thee sing.
The rill that babbles on its tortuous way
Steals noiselessly along thy calm retreat,
And night draws nearer with reluctant
feet,
Fearing to hush thy lay.
The amber light fades ont along the west,
And thou art silent; like a half-spent bolt
With dipping flight thou skir'st the quick
ening holt,
To seek thy new-built nest.
The thy fond mate awaits thee; there
ere long,
With head close tucked beneath thy ebon
wing,
Thou'lt hide thy pipe of gold till dawn shall
bring
The round world back to song.
