A REMARKABLE CAVE.
A Scientists ription of n santa
Cruz Island Wonder.


The most imposing cave of all in
this region is found upon the island Of
Santa Cruz, Oft Santa Barbara, about
20 miles from the shore. The entrance
of the cave is about forty OF fifty feet
at an estimate, no measurement hav-
ing been made, and from it one can
look directly into series Of chambers
for an estimated depth of an eighth of
mile, nearly all of which can be
traversed In small boat.
The first chamber excites the won
der of the visitor as to how 1t could
have been formed, the roof being far
above tho waves. except IN the fiercest
storms. /. has been suggested that
originally the cave was at lower
level or partly submerged; that it was
worn away beneath the water, and
hat the island has since risen, thus
elevating the roof high above the sea.
Be this as it may, the vast cave stands
one of the wonders of the Pacific
Coast. 1t has to be regretted that it
is 30 isolated and beyond the reach of
the travelling public, no regular pas
senger boat running to the island, as
in the case of Catalina.

Cru. The splash Of the ores rcverbra.es

Of many, the effect Of coloring is more
beautiful than at Capri. One feels

first hall or chamber rises at the en-

boat passes slowly on. the second hall
and coming wonder is seen to be of lof-
tie, dimensions. and carrying out the
idea of some old cathedral.
Owing to the large entrance, and
that the cave opens in straight line
for some distance through u series of
arches, 1t Is well lighted. which brings

the rooms. They might have been

The walls are strangely infolded. as
though tho cave had been an enor-

which is covered with delicate sea-
weed and seems to flash irridescent
tints.

lac. Legislature passed y law giving
the Boards Of Supervisors Of the re-
spective counties the power To lease
these lands. The boards have full
control aud authority ia the matter.
Settlers on these lands have the pre-
ferred right to lease, aud those who
resided on these lands prior to the ex-
tension of the surveys Of the United
States over said lands will be per-
mitted to hold them without lease
until the Territory becomes State.
The law provides that the lessee shall
pay annually 10 advance, that no waste
shall be committed, and that default
in payment forieits the lease. Any
one wanting to lease any Of such land

Louis Globe Democrat explains itself:
Washington, D. G., Feb. 20.-Attorney-
General Harmon stated tonight that a
reprieve had been granted to the four
.Eidfdsfsrs~ Of Chavez at Santa Fe until
March 2s. He said that the purpose of
the reprieve was to give SINE for an ap-
splication for pardon tosreasE Washing,
ton. A telegram was received to-d&yy t ttaai
the application had been forwarded. The
men were to have been hanged next
Tuesday.
Delegate Catron said that the applica-
tion for the pardon of the men, or at
least the commutatlon of their sentences,
was now on the way from New Mexico.
When asked as to the grounds on which a
Communication would be sought, Mr.. Cat
ron said: "The application will set forth
that there were serious errors committed
in the trial of the men; that the Jury was
tampered with, and that the governor of
New Mexico was prejudiced against the
men,"
Governor Thornton will leave tonight
for Washington, where it is said he will
confer with the president and attorney
general in relation to the Borrego case.

DEPUTY SHERIFF SHOT.
Charles Lebaum, Of SOcOrrO, is Fatally
shot While Trying to Arrest n
Cowboy Named johnson.

Sheriff W. 0. Bursum, of Socorro, now
in this city, received word yesterday of
the shooting of one of his deputies, Charles
Lebaum, on Monday, February Is.
Some three months ago a cowboy by
the name of Johnson, went into the town
of Magdalena, and amused himself by
shooting at everybody and everything he
could see. For this he was indicted by
the Socorro county grand jury recently,
and Lebaum started out to arrest him.
Lebaum found Johnson working on the
V Z ranch, near the headwaters of the
Glla river, in the extreme western part of
the county on the morning of February Is.
When the deputy sheriff attempted to
make the arrest, johnson shot him and
escaped. Lebaum's injuries are serious
and no hopes of his recovery are enter
tanned. Because of the remoteness of the
country IN which the shooting occurred,
news of the affair did not reach Socorro
until yesterday morning.

GOLD STANDARD NINE.
This Property Inspected and De-
scribed by Special COrre-
spOndent.

Special Correspondence of the New Mexican.
Golden, N. NJ. Feb. 19.-Your corre-
spondent personally examined the Gold
Standard mining claim, known as the
Carley -Aranda strike, and found that the
richness of the ore has not been exag-
gerated. In the south shaft two veins
crosscut each other, one running nearly
north and south and the other east and
west. At this point of intersection
the yellow metal shows to the best ad-
vantage and it can be distinctly seen in
the ore in the veins without the aid of q
magnifying glass. From this shaft, ore
that will run up in the thousands has
been taken. This shaft is only SIX feet
deep, but has more gold in sight than
usually seen in such prospect hole.
In the main shaft, which was down
twenty feet when the writer examined 1t,
the high grade ore strike was fully one
foot wide with at least two feet more of
pay ore in the vein and had every appear
ance of permanenoy and Of ineref1iEts Il
width. If the vein continues to increase
in width as they 20 down on it, 1t GER
tainly will prove to be valuable prop
erty. We understand 1t is the intention
of the owners to sink at laest 100 feet on
the lead. For the amount of develop
ment work done it certainly shows up
wonderfully we'll, and it's equal is seldom
seem in any mining country, and it will
be the means of attracting many mining
men to this part of New Mexico where a
rare field awaits development.
Mr.. Creighton has made another car
load shipment of ore from the Saint
Candelario mines. The gasoline hoist
ing engine has arrived at the O. q @.
mine and will be put in place at once.
Mr.. j. A. Wood, of the Monte Cristo
Mining company, accompanied by Mr..
Gus Graf, Of Weymore, Neb., arrived re-
Gently and will remain several weeks

ing on their placer property near here.

GEN. LEE HAS NOT RESIGNED
The U. s. Consul General at Havana
Issues a Statement Denying His
Rumored Resignation.
CONCENTRATION OF SPANISH FLEET
The Report That the United States Has
Been Requested to Send Warships
to Havana is Correct.

New York, Feb. 13.-A Dispatch TO the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, via Key West
says: Consul General Lee has resigned.
His letter rendering his resignation under
certain conditions goes BY the next mail.
He determined some days ago to take
such step because he is not upheld in
his efforts to protect all the American
citizens now in Cuba.
Consul General Lee asked the state de-
partment that he be authorized to de-
mand the release Of citizens Of the United
States now confined in the Cuban prisons
under the same illegal circumstances as
was the illfated Rniss. Such authoriza-
tion has not been granted. The Spanish
warships In Cuban waters have, since
yesterday, been concentrated in the har-
Dor at Havana.
This is regarded as significant. Great
pressure is being brought to bear to
make Gen. Lee deny the Herald's jack
sonville dispatch, in which 1t 10 stated
that the diplomatic representatives of the
United States in Havana had asked. the
government to send warships to that
port. The jacksonville dispatch was
absolutely correct, and upon indisput
able authority can confirm it in every
detail, Insurgents in the eastern end OF
the island have captured Bayome, an inn
portant town in the province Of Santi-
ago.
WANT OF PROPER SUPPORT.
New York.--A dispatch to the Herald
from Washington says: The resignation
of Consul General Lee has precipitated
the dramatic climax to the administra-
tion's Cuban policy, which has caused
CONSERVATION among. officials here.
Whether for diplomatic reasons or be-
cause of the idea that Gen. Lee may be
induced to reconsider this action. the
administration officials still persist in
denying that he asked for war vessels to
back up his demands on Cuba and for the
immediate release Of American prisoners,
and that he has resigned because of the
refusal Of the administration to grant his
request
DENIED IN WARRINGTON.
Washington, D. C.-The state depart
ment to-day authorized a positive state
nent that SO far as the department is
informed Consul General Lee had not
resigned nor Threatened to resign. II
any letter of resignation was going to be
sent by Gen. Lee from Havana as pub
lished, the department was absolutely
without any news on the subject. Other
published sensational statements regard
ing warships and other like matters were
denied yesterday.
