An In,.rc.,,nr woman.

A woman past 80. who has had her share
of youthful good looks. may, II she keeps
her health, retain the essential part OF her
attractiveness. which consists In character
and expression. Such is the case with uetty
Green. Time has touched her gently, withal.
Her hair Is not yet quite gray. nor her face
wrlnkled. She has keen bue-gray eyes, n
clear complexion and strongly marked fea-
lures that Indicate truly the force and deter
minntion behind them. In repose, her eN-
preston becomes more softened. and she
looks like the home-loving and domestic
woman that she Is at heart Mrs. Green has
the, reputation. not altogether undeserved.
rather an affectation, perhaps with u pur.
pose. on her part. rather tnnn deficiency
OF feminine TASTE. Her ordinary street at
tire, of rich but plain black, with n violet
trimmed bonnet. has nothing outre about 1t.
Her manner. in talking about her battles
with courts and finnnciers Is full of ag-
gressiye animation, and gives the impression
that fighting suits her temperament. A Pc
culiar plctnrcs1ucness is Impaired to her
speech by the traces of New England quak-
erism that cling to 1t. In moments of self
forgetfulness she says 'yaas" almost as
broadly as the characters In n Yankee dia-

VALUABLE TURQUOIS MINES
Development Work During the Past
Year Has Demonstrated the Value
of a Group OF Six Mines, 20 Miles
south Of Santa Fe.

Development work on the group OF
turquois mines, owned by local capital
lists, is progressing rapidly, and within
the past two months this property has
been put upon a paying basis.
The group is composed Of six mines
the Grand Mogul, Last Chance, Persian
Queen, Grown Jewel, Moqni, and Monte
yuma Queen, all located about two and
half miles southeast OF the American
turquois mines, and 20 miles south of the
city of Santa Fe. Upon several of the
old Indian workings filled up many years
ago, and but recently uncovered, have
been discovered we'll defined leads of
turquois of the very best quality and
color.
The Montezuma Queen is mine of this
kind, and shows the very first quality of
turquois at from three to four feet in
depth, on an immense lead running the
entire length of the location. From
work already done, this group bids fair
to become, in the course of year or so,
the biggest producer in the world, and
already the American Turquois company
has strong competitor in this enter
prise, owned entirely by Santa Fe people.
Up to tho time of the organization of the
local concern, these mines we're held by a
single individual, who for ten years had
been holding on for deal. About six
months after the corporation above men,
toned came into existence, development
work was commenced, and has been
actively prosecuted since. This work
has been carried to point, sufficient to
demonstrate the great value of these
mines.
