Wonderful Development Of Values on the
Shoshone- Other Work in the
District.

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Red River, N. NJ, March 16.-From
Mr.. Alex. Gusdorf it is learned that the
Shoshone on Gold hill is all right Last
week another shift OF men was put to
work, making three shifts now at work
sinking the shaft, and depth of 1865
feet has been reached. Near this point
was struck the rich streak of ore from
which assays show 81 900 per ton. This
streak has widened to two feet,
the total of which runs $50 per ton.
This makes the Shoshone by all odds
the best property In this region at this
time. On the dump 1000 tons of ore
is now awaiting the erection of mill,
and other ores are being sorted and
sacked for shipment so soon as the trail
is open. 1t is Mr.. Gnsdorf's intention to
continue the sinking of the shaft, and
at the 20O-foot level to open stopping
ground and begin regular shipments of
two carloads of ore per week. In speak
ing of mill for the property. Mr.. Gus
dorf said they would put one in as soon
as the ore taken out of the mine would
pay for it. The Gusdorf Bros have
worked hard and spent considerable
money on the Shoshone and everyone is
glad they have now gotten the property
onto a paying basis.
The terms OF lease on the Midnight
mine and mill have been agreed upon.
and it is probable that work will soon
be resumed.
The tunnel on the Lizzie, owned by
VIM. Duetcher, is In 12O feet on vein
of sulphide ore that la four feet wide.

MODEST DEMANDS
France Only Desires Few Concessions
from China--Eight Days Allowed
for Compliance.
GREAT BRITAIN And HAWAII
Her Majestys Government Much Surprised
at Report Of United States Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relationship
Intentionf Interfering

Pekin. China. March 1S.--The French
demands upon China are that China
shall not cede any portion of the four
provinces of Kwang-Tung, Kwang-Si,
Yun-Nan and Kwei-Cbou; that the rail
road from Tung-Chob-Tang ON the
northern frontier to Tonquin shall be
extended from Pasesiemi into Yun-Nan
province, and that u eoaling station
shall be granted to France at Lei-Chou-
Fou in Sen-Chou peninsula, north of
HaiNan; that the director of the i'm
perial postoffice shall be Frenchman
evidently with the view of separating it
from the control of Sir Robert Hart. di-
rector OF the Chinese imperial maritime
customs, and the cession of a cOaling
station at Kwang-Chou, on the same
terms as Kiao-Chou bay has been ceded
to Germany, with railroad concession
to include exclusive mining privileges.
Eight days are allowed China to reply
to the French demands, and the threats
are interpreted to indicate the French
occupation of the province of Hai-Nan
unless the Chinese comply.
Great Britain Does Not Want Hawaii.
London, March 1S.-The government
of Great Britain is surprised at the re-
port of the United States senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, which, after
presenting joint resolution for annex
ing Hawaii, set forth that Great Britain
was plotting for the absorption of Ha-
waii. A high official in the British
foreign Office said:
Nothing is further from Great Brit
aims intentions than to interfere in any
way with the existing regime of Hawaii.
On the contrary, her maiesty's govern
ment has recognized that the United
States has the foremost interests in
Hawaii and that it is inevitable that
Hawaii should be under American in
huence."

ger Describes Condition Of Cubans
-spains Brutal Policy.

Washington, March ls.-The presi-
dent does not expect any preliminary
report from the court of inquiry on the
Maine disaster. On the contrary his
expectation is that the report, when it
comes, will be complete in all respects,
although, following the usual course, it
is within the power of the secretary of the
navy to order that body to continue the
investigation along certain lines, should
he believe further information to be de-
sirable. Nothing OF especial Importance
was developed at today's cabinet meet
Ing, beyond the fact that the report of
the Maine court of inquiry is not ex-
pected before the early part of next
week. Every phase of the questions
involved, is being carefully considered
and it Is believed that soon after the re-
port has been received the president,
possibly in conjunction with congress,
will announce some definite policy.

RAILROAD EXTENSION.
Ell Paso & Northeastern Will Extend Its
Line from La Luz to Near the Summit
Of Sacramento Mountains.

For the past 80 days engineers Of the
Ell Paso & Northeastern have been oper-

Luz, says the Sacramento Chief. But
little attention was given to their move
ments as railroad surveyors are becom-
ing common sight in this section. 1t
now transpires that the Northeastern is
going to extend Its line from La Luz to
or near the summit of the Sacramento
mountains. Engineer H. A. Sumner,
with force of assistants, is now at work
making permanent survey for this
line.
The line will be a narrow gauge and
will be about Is miles in length, running
almost due east from La Luz, terminal
ing on top Of the Sacramento mountains
near the head of the North Fork of the
Fresnal river. The grade will be about
4 per cent and at places the work of
construction will be very costly.
The main object of constructing this
branch line is to secure ties and timber
