not allowed to take his seat by the then
political powers. In November, 1896, he
was returned to the Legislature as council
man. His acts and work in the present

record he is making, and the able and suc-
oessful manner In which he looks after the
interests Of San Miguel and Guadalupe
counties. and indeed the entire territory.
Politically Mr.. Duncan Is Democrat,
strong in his party councils and unfinch-
ing in whatever he considers to be his
duty. The best interests of New Mexico
will never suffer so long as he is able to
speak aud work for them.
Mr.. Duncan was married in 1876 to
Miss Mary L. White Of Brooklyn, N. Y,
and ten children, four living and six dead,
have been the issue Of the union, which
has proved one of unusual felicity.

Work Abandoned on The Hesperus Lode
For the SECOND Time.

For the second time the Hesperus
lode has been abandoned by a COM
pany holding Il lease and bond after n
large amount Of exploration work had
been done. The Hesperus Leasing
company ceased work on the property
this week and pulled their pumps after
three months work and the eXpendi-
ture Of a good deal of money.
1'he company which included quite n
number Of well known mining men,
took up the lease and bond which was
given ur by the Parrot company after
that corporation had sunk double
compartment shaft down 1856 feet
mostly through solid granite. The
new company which was Incorporated
on purpose to work the Hesperus took
hold Of the property ON which no
cross scouting had been done and COM
menced to cross-cut south in the hope
of cutting through a large body of
copper ore. The company went south
from the 200 level OF the shaft 1870 feet
and cut through small body of cop
per ore but not extensive enough to be
worth working. After that another
cross-cut was started north and the
ground thoroughly explored in every
direction but without any satisfactory
results. A few days ago it was con-
cluded to stop work and pull the
pumps and the indications are not
sufficiently good TO warrant any larger
expenditure of money along the pres
ent lines.-Butte Miner.
