ORTIZ MINE GRANT CASES.
drawn on Account Of Discovery
Of Leases of the Property.

The motions to dissolve the injunc-
tion against claimants of mining prop
erty on the Ortiz Mine grant, and to dis
charge receiver, which were to come up
for disposition before Judge Laughlin in
cham bers yesterday afternoon, were With
drawn by Messrs. Warren and Renehan,
the attorneys making the same.
This action was due to the discovery
that, on September, 8, 1896, the New
Mexico Mining company, patentee of
the Ortiz Mine grant, leased the Canoe-
lario mine, claimed by j. s. Hutchison,
for the term of 80 years, to James W.
Perry, of New York City; and that, on
July l, 1897, the said company leased to
the said Perry all of the Ortiz Mine grant
for the term of two years from the date
last mentioned.
The first mentioned lease was recorded
on November l., 1897, and the second was
recorded on November Is, 1897.
In the light of these important discov-
cries it was deemed best by the attorneys
to withdraw the motions for consultation.
Probably Mr.. Perry will now be made q
party to future litigation in the prem

At Opera House Tonight.

Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown" will be
the attraction at the Santa Fe opera
house this evening. No farce comedy
now playing before the American public
has had more brilliant career than
"Chinatown." From its very first per.
formance, SIX years ago, its career has
been one great success. 1t holds the rec
ord for the longest run in New York-al
most two years without a stop and was
then withdrawn because of arrangements
and contracts calling it to other theaters.
All of Hoyt's plays are popular, but none
more 80 than this tale of gay life In
Frisco. Frank Lane, who has been one
of the principal actors of the Hoyt's farces,
will appear, as "well and strong," in
which part he played for two seasons.
He will be surrounded by bright, capable
people.

Hon, y. II. Eikins, receiver OF the Ortiz
Mine grant, states that the McGee process
mill at Dolores is running on ore from
the Cunningham mine, but that no clean
up has as yet been made. He expects
favorable results from the present mill
run.
The gold plaoers on the Chama river
are attracting much attention and
several parties of prospectors are at
work between Abiquiu and the northern
boundary of the Pedra Lumbre land
grant, prospecting and trying the gravel.
The county commissioners have passed
a resolution, abeting 25 per cent of all
taxes delinquent on December 81, 1885,
provided the said delinquent taxes are
paid on or before the 3lst day of this
month. Delinquent taxpayers will do
well to take advantage of this lenient ac-
tion of the board and save money.

 The gray clouds which filled the big fve-story tenement house were so dense that the boy could not see, but realizing the danger, he mantully groped his way through them, never losing his hold of the helpless five months old tot. Half fainting and almost suffocated, he was found near the front door, too exhausted to go the few yards further. to the street, his arms around the baby. "Don't t cry, Lena," he whispered, "TIl stay here and papa will come and find us. /"
 The father did find them, and not a moment to soon, for the little hero was almost unconscious when carried to the street.
 In telling of the rescue the boy said: s'The smoke wouldn't let me see, but Lena cried so knew she was there. l felt all around until found her. tried to carry her, but she was too heavy, and we both fell down. That made Lena cry some more. told Lena not to cry, but she did. The smoke shut my eyes, and went down my mouth. cried too, but I pulled Lena by the hand She tumbled down, and l caught her dress and pulled that, and we got out of the room. There was lots of smoke in the hall, and l got tired. couldn't pull any more. Then I sat down with Le na and I was get ting sleepy when papa came"

ARKANSAS SUGAR BEETS.
Experimental Crop Not up to Easy
 Possibilities, But Good.

Washington, Oct. l3.-The Secretary of Agriculture has completed the anal. ysis of specimens of sugar beet raised in Phillips county, Arkansas. He re- ports that this specimen shows per centage of ten sixty-four one-huu- dredths of sugar on weight of the beets, that is 100 pounds of these beets would yield about eleven pounds of sugar. He says that this percentage will undoubtedly be exceeded by anal ysis of beets from other counties when completed. He also says the beet samples from Arkansas will average over ton of sugar to ten tons of beets.
 Hon. G. A. Dean, of Little Rock was here to-day. Said he: ''We have a tremendous crop of apples in Arkansas this year The apples raised in the Ozark mountains are of especially fine flavor and every year buyers from New York come down and purchase entire orchards. The buyers then ship 1t to Europe as the product of the Empire State. and thus Arkansas does not get the credit that IS due her But our farmers get good money for their fruit and do not complain.
