This company is one of the more recent
corporations, doing business under the
laws of New Mexico They have advanc-
ed their development work and expect to
have a stamping mill in full operation
this spring. The manager of the COM
pany. C. C. Cotton, L. S. Deputy Sur
veyor, has gone east on a visit and con-
templates visit to the home office at
Wichita before returning.
II is expected that this section Of the
country will be visited by a great num-
Der of people during thespring and sum-
mer as indications point that way. Snow
in places where men are working on
placer claims is from three and half TO
four feet in depth but this apparently
makes no difference with the prospectors.
If the ground was bare the whole sur
face looks alike, as IL is covered with
several feet of soil which must be cut
through TO bed rock. Another surprise
is the fact that this new placer ore is
but slightly alleged with silver, being the
richest gold found in the country, with
but one or two exceptions. Should no
other source be found TO give this section
fame, it is sufficient to place this district
well to the front as a gold producer. b.
nanzas that have been handled for years
in other portions Of the country are not
nearly so rich as this find, which is des-
tined 10 be much heard of in the near
future

and the Opening is Covered With Brush
No One Would Have Noticed 1t Even
if7hey Walked Over the Spot-Place IL
Situated in the Depths OF Large
Thicket of Plum Brush, Which is Amos,
Impossible to Get Through - He Re-
ceives Reward.
For a long time past there has been
q Steady complaint from all quarters
about chicken thefts, both large AMI
small. and it is thought that the rendez-
vous of the perpetrators of these thefts
has been located upon an island in the
Zig river northwest of the city.
Mr.. John Smith, the old man who
makes a business Of obtaining the oil
from all the carcasses obtainable. is the
man who discovered the place. He has
mis- little establishment situated upon
the island where he cooks all the oil
from dead animals and thus recover,
much that would be otherwise wasted.
He has suffered considerable from the
ravages of chicken thieves for a long
time past, as have a number of his
neighbors, and in fact people all over the
city and even out into the country. Tho
thieves left no clew as to their identity
and the continuance of the trouble did
not alleviate the feeling Of resentment in
the least
Mr.. Smith was told by a boy OF pc
culiar hole in a brush pile upon the is
land, and ne determined TO investigate
at once. The plum brush upon the is
land is very thick and almost impossible
but he was led by the boy very nearly
70 the center of the most impregnable
mass Of brush upon the entire island.
The way they went in il looked several
times as though Mr.. Smith would be
compelled to give up, being unable to
get through after the agile boy, but he
finally arrived at the hole indicated by
the boy.
The hole ran into the bottom Of the
pile OF brush. which did not look as
though it had laid there very long. The
boy wanted to know what sort of an an
imal was in there. Clearing the brush
away carefully an opening in the bank
was discovered which had been dug
there. This opening led into room or
cave dug straight into the bank. The
soil at this point is sandy but the dog
wood roots hold it together.
Within the cave were found about a
dozen fine chickens housed up with plen-
" Of food and water. 1t didn't take but
moment to discover that the den Of
some chicken-stealing outfit had been
unearthed. Mr.. Smith had been quite a
heavy loser from the ravages and he
very properly claimed the chickens by
right Of discovery, although they were
not his and have not been identified by
any of his neighbors. Still if any one
can prove their property he is ready to
turn them over.

On one occasion during the trying days
of the rebellion a woman sought an au-
dience with President Lincoln. She
finally made her mission known to the
great hearted man and he dropped all
business 10 hear her story about her
husband and son, who were both wound
ed al Petersburg. The president listen
ed, and as she talked the tears came 10
his eyes. At the close of the interview
the cabinet officers and dignitaries said
to Mr.. Lincoln: What claim had that
woman upon your precious timer" Mr.
Lincoln replied: Hush, That woman
has patriotism enough 10 animate a
whole regiment of Soldiers
This incident is recalled by the pa
triotism of Mrs. Helen Mason OF Oak
street. who has held the office OF presi-
dent of the w. r. c. for TWO terms. She
has planned a pavilion for the soldiers
circle in the cemetery and Mr.. E. Du-
mont. the architect. has drafted her
ideas on paper. Both Mrs. Mason and
Mr.. Dumont have been ably assisted by
Mrs. BuckWalter, who is a paragon OF
patriotism herself. The plans as drawn
by Mr.. Dumont call for a pavilion thir-
~ feet in diameter. with a two-foot bor-
der for flowers. The greenhouse, the
seats and all appurtenances Will be OF

work will enter into the structure. and

the stone for Garfield university-has
volunteered TO donate the lasting basic

ties who have inausurated it and are
