receiver of the New Mexico Savings bank,
has gone to Flagstaff.
Both the United States and the Terri
torial district courts continue busily at
work with Judge Collier presiding.
The United States civil service commis
sion has ordered that an examination be
held by its local board in Albuquerque on
Saturday, December 4, 1897, commencing
at O'Clock a. m., for the grades of clerk
and carrier in the postal service. Only
citizens of the United States can be exam
ined. The age limitations for this exami-
nation are as follows: Clerk, 18 years or
over; carrier, between 81 and 40 years.
The city council allowed long list of
bills at its last meeting. In this connec-
tion the Citizen reports that Alderman
Marion moved that the bill of Mr.. Lord
for $14 for taking the census of dogs, the
bill of $15 for carriages for the council
and city officers to attend the parade in
honor of Governor. Otero and bill of
$3.50 for carriage for physician who
was called to attend man who had met
with an accident, be not allowed. Some
of the aldermen we're in favor of paying
Individually for the carriage hire, but
majority were of the opinion that as the
council attended in its official capacity it
was only right that the city should stand
the expense. The discussion brought out
the fact that the mayor had hired Lord to
take the dog census, which had been or
dered by the council, 30 Alderman Mar

have been more satisfactory to all con-
cerned if those critical cases OF 'indis-
position" had been postponed until the
band got back to the Ducal City. Santa
Fe is interested scause it's own excellent
military band, which won applause in
Denver last year, gave place to the Albu-

assured that the Santa Fe band would not
have "withdrawn from the band contest"
at the 11th hour.
An additional force from the peniten-
tiary consisting of 10 long time prisoners
was put on the capitol rebuilding work
today. These men are among the best
of the skilled labor at the penitentiary
and will be especially useful in the brick
and stone work now in progress. The
total force from the penitentiary now at
work on the grounds numbers about So,
the duty of guarding the prisoners de-
volving on competent force of guards
captained by John G. Hull of this oity, and
Tom Clay of Las Vegas, who reached the
CITY last night to take position at the
grounds. Colonel Bergman and his as.
sistant, Mr.. Merrill, will from now on be,
one or the other, constantly at the
grounds experimenting the work of the
convicts and the full COT operation which the
penitentiary is now giving and willin the
future give the capitol board will result
in great progress being made from this
time on. The completion of the capito
on time end within the appropriation
as now seems entirely probable, will be
due to the aid of Colonel Bergman and
his penitentiary force.

Groceries Last Night.

dozen cans of sardines, several cans Of
salmon, roast beef and tomatoes, so cents
worth of sugar, few onions and pota

ABOUT THE BEAM PROCESS
Claimed That More Than the Assay
Value Can BE Obtained from
Gold and silver Ores.

The Beam process for treating gold and
silver ores is exciting good deal of at
tention in the non-technical press of the
Rocky mountains, says the New York
Engineering aud Mining Journal. We
are unfamiliar with all the details of this
process; indeed, We are not sure that soma
of them are not secret; but it is one of
those processes, whereby it is averred
more gold can be won from the ore than
the fre-assay shows. A recent number
of the Mining and Industrial Reporter,
published at Denver, Colo gives series
of tests made not long ago at the Beam
experimental works at Denver. One lot
of II tons of sulphide ore assaying $3.50
in gold per ton assayed $15 per ton after
the "Beam roast" ii. e., a roast with ad-
mixture of sawdust in closed muffle)
gave an extraction of $3.50 per ton by
pan amalgamation. The loss Of weight
in roasting is not given, nor is there an
analysis of the ore, but pure sulphide
ore of this grade in gold, containing
lead, zinc, copper, arsenic and antlmonY,"
would scarcely assay SIS after roasting
even if it we're completely desulphurized.
Decidedly more interesting, however, is
the ore from Fremont county, Oolo.,
which, according to "various assays"
showed only trace of gold, but after
roasting gave 81 per ton, and yielded 81
per cent of this by pan amalgamation.
process which can accomplish so re-
markable result ls indeed, as the Mining
and Industrial Reporter says, "of such
vast import to the mining interests" that
it's record ought to be published. Gold
as low as Dol, or about 20 cents, is COM
monty reported in assaying, and a "trace"
means less; we'll say 10 cents, for instance.
Now, if 19-cent ore can be made to yield
81, we are surely in fair way to see a
realization of the visions of the alchem
lists of few centuries ago.

was too much Master Dog Joined
the party in the molasses cask; and,
when the supper was served, Small
Pertaters gave him the larger part of

the marrow as we'll as he could-for it
was hard aud cold-on the biscuit, he
fed half of it to the kitten, keeping the
other half and the cold potato for him
self. AS for the hen, she lay on her

gentleman and q lovely little girl
called upon the owner of the bakery
into the window of which Small Per
taters had been looking the night be-
fore.
"Did you see anything of a little
white dog, after we left your shop last
night2" they both asked, in the same
breath.
''No; I did not, am sorry to say" "
was the answer.
The tears started to the child's
eyes.

But, fortunately, the policeman,
whom they soon found, remembered
seeing a small white dog trotting after
boy, between 8 and 10 o'clock the
night before.
"The boy was Small Pertaters," he
said, "and that's the reason didn't
ask anything about the dog. He's an
honest, good-hearted little chap,
though he is q reg'lar street boy, with
no friends except such as he makes in

child, eagerly.

When little Meyer Lipman, of 315
Blue Hill avenue, Chicago, was eight
months old he could talk as we'll as
most children of four or five years.
BY the time he was a year old he could
spell any word in the first reader and
could talk and understand both Eng
lish and German. The extent of the
boys intellect told against his health,
his hair turned gray and his face grew
pallid. By the advice of a physician,
who recommended that the boy be
kept from everything that required
mental effort, his books were taken
away from him and he was talked to
only on the most commonplace sub
jects. The family moved to the conn

regained its normal color His parents

Two Legends of the CHRIST. .Child.

The following quaint story is from
the history of "The Nativity of Mary"
q work that has for centuries furnished
themes for poets and artists: "Mary
aud the child Jesus were resting in q
cave with Joseph and maid and three
! boys, who were with them on their
journey. There came suddenly out of
the sides of the cave great number
Of dragons, aud when Jesus, slipping
down from his mothers knee, stood
On His feet before them, the dragons
fell down and worshipped Him. Then
the Divine Child, seeing that Mary
and Joseph were filed with terror lest
He should be harmed, said to them,
DO not be afraid and do not consider
Me as little child. for 1 am and al
ways have been perfect, and oil the
beasts of the field must be tame before
Me-" Many of the old painters have
given us the terror stricken group in
the cave, including the girl and the
three boys, but minus the monsters
who caused them such fright
The most beautiful of all the legends
is '"rhe Light of the World" which
Bouguereau has so exquisitely pic
tured for us in his "Repose in Egypt. :"
Some travellers crossing the desert saw
a brilliant light proceeding apparently
from the Sphinx. Knowing that the
altar of the sun stood there, they
| asked of one another in amaze, "Can
the people be sacrificing again to the
sum-" And when they drew nearer
they saw that little group of wan
derers was resting beneath the shadow
of the mystery of the desert. A man
of middle age. dusky and travel
stained, was feeding q small gray ass,
while on the arms of the Sphinx
rested young woman holding an in
FAINT to her breast. The radiant light
which had dazzled them shone from
tho face of the young child with great
aud excepting brilllancy. Now the
travellers going ON their way, were
filed with awe and astonishment. Yet
they did not know that they had be-
held the "Light of tho World. -

said Dolly; "and we'd like to have
you come to our house and have a

father, who now stood beside her.
Indeed we would, replied the
father.

mered Small Pertaters, glancing at
his ragged clothes.
''But you are good enough, all the
same" said Dolly. "Any boy that'll
take home lost dog and cat and
chicken, when his homes nothing but
a big barrel, and give them their sup
per, whet he don't know where he'll
get his breakfast next morning, is
good enough to go anywhere. And
you can bring your company with
you"
And off they all started-the little
girl carrying the chicken in her arms,
the dog running gayly by her side,

wished 1 had one"
But he might as well, poor little fell
low, have wished for the moon (he
would have stood as good chance of
getting it), for not one cent was there,
either in the ragged pockets of his
ragged trousers, or the ragged pockets
Of his ragged coat. This coat had
once been the spring overcoat of some
one twice as big as Small Pertaters,
and it was worn to fringe all around
the bottom from trailing on the
ground
''I'd ruther,' said Small Pertaters,
'have one of them nor any thin else.
They's meat an vegetables an candy
an cake all to wunst, they is. An
how brown their kivers is. L never
seen sich very brown kivers ON pie
afore."
At this moment a gentleman and a
lovely fair-haired little girl, followed
by small white dog, went into the
shop, stayed there a short time, and
coming out again, hastened up the
avenue. Small Pertaters gazed after
them.
"Her hair was jist like shiny COLE, 81
he said, "S'pect she has mince pie
every day of her life. But it's no use
me standin' here. 1t makes me hun
grer an hungrer lookin' at them pies.
I'll 60 home an eat my supper; an
'tain't every boy what's got a soup
bone, with. a lot of marrer in it an a
hunk of gristle an meat a-hangin' to
it, an fresh biscuit, an a cole billed
pertater, in his coat tail pocket"
And, turning quickly from the win
dow, he spied the small white dog
which had been following the gentle
man and the golden haired child sniff
ing at the same coat-tail pocket.
Jimmy Jinks" said Small Per-
taters; "if that hog of dog amt a.
tryin' TO hook my bone. An 1 sp'ect
he has more soup bones nor what he
knows what to do with where he lives,
for he's nobby dog, he is. Git out,
you swell pup"
And the "swell pup" starting to
get out, discovered that he had lost
his master and mistress, and ran to
and fro, with nose to the snow covered
pavement, eagerly seeking a trail OF
them, for five or ten minutes. Then,
giving up in despair, he seated him
self before the boy, who stood watch
ing him, and shaking his muddy little
paws, looked up into his face in the
most beseeching manner.
''It's too bad, said Small Pertaters,
patting his head with very dirty
hand. "Guess they must have got on
to car, ole feller; an the best thing
you kin do is to come home with me,
an we'll look for 'em to-morer.
