HELD FOR KILLING CHAVEZ
John Pratt Go IS to Jail without Bail,
but Claims He Acted In self
Defense.

Full particulars of the killing of the
sheepherder, Vicente Chavez by John
Pruit, near Three Rivers, in Dona Ana
county, brief mention of which was
made in these columns few days ago,
have been received, and are substantially
as follows:
On Sunday of last week Chavez body
was found, with bullet hole through the
head, the ball having entered on top
ranging downward, and passing out un-
der the jaw on the right side of the face.
At the coroners inquest, held in Three
Rivers on Monday, no information lead
ing to the Identification of the murderer,
and the body was buried. Sheriff Garrett
and Deputy Wright took up the case, and
after investigation arrested Will Brazel,
Noah Barefoot and John Pruit, charging
them with the crime. After the arrests
were made Pruit confessed to the shoot
ing of Chavez, but stated that it had been
done in self-1efense.$
According to Pruits story, he was rid
ing by Chavez camp when dog ran out
and frightened his horse. Pruit shot at
the dog, and Chavez then shot at Pruit.
Pruit then returned the shot aimed at
him, the ball killing the sheepherder
in the manner already stated. At the
preliminary hearing before Justice Pa
dila in Three Rivers, held on Wednesday
last, no testimony was offered on either
side of the case, and Pruit, on his own
statement, was held to the action of the
GRAND inrv uithoDt bail and ia now cOn-
fined in the county Jail.
Pruit is young man, about 10 years
of age, and has only been in the territory
six months, coming from Scarray county,
Tex, and has been working as cowboy.

A NEW CONCENTRATOR.
san Pedro Mining Interests Take New
Life-A New Mill to BE Built Mt
CerriIlOs-SmelterP Project
Assured.

Special Correspondence New Mexican:
San Pedro, June 19.-The visit of w. s.
Reese. manager of the salt works at
Natrona, Pa, and ID. A. Ragan, an expert
chemist of New York, to San Pedro last
week, is likely to result in new life for that
district. Messrs. Reese and Kagan care
fully examined the three miles workings
in Lewison Bros. copper mines, and in the
new 300 foot incline found pay ore on
the sides, top and bottom. Sample ores
from the mine have been sent to New
York for the purpose of testing the
apparatus of concentrating plant in that
city, and should the tests result salts
factorily, Lewison Bros. will erect con-
centrator having daily capacity of 250
tons per day, and also start up the three
stack smelter which has been idle for
some time.
There is now about $4,000 tons of low
grade ore on the big copper dump, which
will turn out per cent copper, w in
gold, and between ~ and 80 in silver,
and the concentrator to be erected will
be designed for the treating of ores of
this kind successfully. The great bodies
of smelling ores in the mine, however,
run an average 10 per cent copper, S16
in gold, and $3.50 in silver.
At Cerrillos, W. G. Weyer, of Kansas
City, has begun preparing the ground for
50.ton McPhee mill, of which wonders
are expected in the treatment of re-
fractory ores. Large quantities of the
ore around Cerrillos and San Pedro are
of refractory, carrying from So to $l5,
and a mill that will handle them properly
will prove boon to the mining inter-
ests of Santa Fe county.
Capt. Marion Ballue, of Terre Haute,
who has been working on project to
erect smelter in Cerrillos, has succeeded
ia arranging financial matters and expects
to begin work on the plant early in July.
Senator Elkins has donated site for the
smelter, conditioned upon the prompt
construction of the works, and Mr..
Ballue expects to push operations as soon
as work commences.
