Chicago, H., August 1.-Most young
women would not give up the chance,
however remote, of living in hand
some house in Calumet avenue for a sa-
loon in Archer road. Yet Mrs. Albert
ID. Wetherell did so. She paid visit
to the court house in company with Ed
ward L. Barber and few friends. then
returned to her fathers saloon as Miss
Leah Unger, and with 5000 in her poo
ket.
The neighborhood where Miss Unger
lives is not elegant, but il is home 10
her, and has been since eleven years
ago. And It has been her home ever
since she married the millionaire's son
in Kenosha five years ago last June.
Albert d. Wetherell did not offer her
any better one after returning To Chs
cago as husband and wife, and. Accord
ing to her, he has never asked her 10
share his board and home, though II Is
far superior to that which her father
can give her.
Mrs. Wetherell claimed that when she
was a mere child of IA she welded
young Wetherell, who was four years
her senior. and that from the day OF
their marriage up TO the present time
he had never supported her and, In fact.
had deserted her on the day OF their,
wedding.
But they are good friends still. Tx
cellent friends, indeed.
But $500 is evidently a big sum OF
money to the young girl who forsakes
the name OF Wetherell for il. That
much money probably does not often
come at one time into her fathers sa-
loon. This is an old brown frame build

GEN. SHELBY DEAD.

O'Clock This Morning.

Kansas City, Feb. l3.-Gen. j. y.
Shelby died at his country home, eight
miles from Adrain, Mo-, at 4 O'Clock this
morning. The end came peacefully.
The patient had been unconcious since
early Monday morning Gen. Shelby was
taken seriously ill ten days ago with
pneumonia, and gradually grew worse.
His vitality was great, however, and half
dozen times when given up to die, the
patients remarkable recuperative power
asserted itself, and he revived. During
all Sunday night and most of Monday the
patient talked continually in an irrational
way. At times he recognized those about
him, but only for q moment when ne
would again lapse into comatose or de-
lirious state. He began to sink rapidly
on Tuesday morning. Until that moment
Mrs. Shelby, who had been constantly at
the generals bedside, believed he would
survive. She then gave way, and is now
prostrated with grief.

SANTA FE COUNTY MINES.
Great Activity in the Golden and San
Pedro Districts,

Special Correspondence of New Mexican.
Golden, N. M, Feb. ~, 1897. Mining
matters in this part of the county are
looking up, and from Surface" indica-
tions bid fair to create quite an excite
ment in the early spring. The Carlay
and Amanda rich find verities the predc
tion often made as to the existence of re-
markably rich mineral in this district.
The richness of the ore in this property
ia really astonishing The sample now
or exhibition at II. B. Cartwright K Bro's
store in Santa Fe is an average of the
high grade gold ore of this lead. The
lucky owners declare their intention of
opening up the cleim and treating the
ore themselves.
They have ten men at work sinking
and cross cutting on the ore body. The
main shaft is now down twenty-five feet
and the vein is reported to be increasing
in width and they are taking out some
very fine ore. They have leased the San
Lazarus company's Huntington mill To-
GATED about one milo from the Gold
Standard, aud will commence running by
the 18th Of this month.
The G. & G. Mining company is push
ing the work of sinking the working
shaft and much is expected of this prop
erty when the ore body is reached. A
new gasoline engine for holster has ar
rived at Cerrillos and will be removed to
the mine at once.
The Brydon & Rogers custom mill has
been running continuously since first
starting.
Lucas stamp mill is also running reg
ularly with satisfactory results.
j. N. Tholl arrived yesterday and the
removal of his Huntington mill from the
Kelley we'll to the new site on the Tuerto
will take place Immediately. This change
is being made to be near the source of
the ore supply which will be from the
properties of Messrs. Tholl & Deboo in
the North mountains.
Taken as whole few camps in the ter
ritory have better prospects, than the
Golden and San Pedro mining districts,
and their mineral resources need proper
development only to make the region
mining wonder.

President Cameron and Mr.. S. p. Be
han, of Arizona, were seen at the Palace
this morning and asked about the stocl
conditions in their country. Mr.. Gamer
on replied:
"Livs stock interests in Arizona are il
most hourishing condition; cattle are
in the best of Aesh, buyers plenty and
pay from $3.50 to SIS for yearlings
from SIS to SIS for twos, and from SIS
to $50 for three's up. Rains have been
abundant all through the territory and
early grass will cause early deliveries to
be made.
"The action of the New Mexico cattle
sanitary board in continuing the counties
of Maricopa, Pinal and Yuma as pro-
hibited district until an investigation can
be made, to me is an absurdity and con-
fession on the part of New Mexico
of an inability to act as it should.
Instead of sending its own veterinary to
make an examination it must depend
upon some neighboring state, or on the
United States government to do the
work. Could anything emphasize more
strongly the necessity of veterinarian
for New Mexicor"
Mr.. Behan, live stock agent of the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad
and for several years member Of the
Arizona cattle sanitary board, in speak.
ing of the action taken by the New Mex
ico board in the quarantine matter said:
"Every statement made by Mr.. Cam
eron in reference to Arizona live stock is
true and can be proven. The Arizona
legislature is always equal to the occa-
sion and in the one now in session laws
are being enacted to meet all require
ments, and the sanitary condition of our
cattle is and will be carefully guarded.
