The Laws Delay in the Frank chaves Bond
Cases.

At this time when Messrs. Laughlin
and Gildersleeve are suing Santa Fe
county to recover a fee of $4,000 for
losing the bond suits against the county,
in both. the District and Supreme court,
it may be well to call the attention of the
people to the fact these gentlemen, to-
gethcr with nearly 200 other distinguish
ed gentlemen were sureties upon the bond
of the late Francisco Chaves as sheriff and
collector of taxes for Santa Fe county.
On December IA, 1891, five suits were
fled against him and the sureties on his
bond to recover $50, 900 due to the ter
ritory and county on account of taxes
and licenses collected and not accounted
for.
The distinguished defendants inter-
posed the plea of the statute of limita-
tions of two years in three of these cases.,
which plea was sustained by Judge
Seeds, leaving two Of the cases to stand,

A PRICELESS TREASURE.
Being a Glimpse of a Scene That Re-
mains to BE Enacted.

h"AA Wv 49,
The club sent out z, 900 invitations
The swagger guests responded nobly.
The spacious halls and drawing rooms
of the popular bachelors hall were fill
ed with the elite of New York and other
large cities. 1t was an event.
In one end of the marble banqueting
chamber 1t stood. Ten uniformed police
men were lined up on both sides OF 1t.
A solid gold censer swung incense above
1t. "A band of string instruments filled
the air with melody Of worship.
The shrine itself was Of solid gold.
Diamonds and sapphires were incrusted
upon It's TANKS, and over 1t a beveled
glass lid fell on gold hinges.
One by one the guests approached
r%everently, paused before the gold cas-
ket and peered down through the crys-
tai lid. What did they see? On a bed
of softest down covered with white sat
in 1t lay. Had it been the newborn
king of empires 1t could not have work
ed up the people to such a pitch Of adora-
ton.

dent of the club came forth. With a
golden key he unlocked the casket. The
people were hushed in W Taking 1t
from it's satin bed, the president rever-
emily placed 1t between his teeth; then,
amid the b~reathless silence, lighted a
match and with a ceremonial sweep OF
the arm touched the flame to the end of
It.
Suddenly the great chamber was red
client Of the perfume Of heaven. One
man dropped dead as he drunk it in,
and four women swooned away. But
the multitude scarcely needed little
things like that. They were enraptured,
entranced. In one vast chorus Of ecstasy
they uttered, "Ah-h-h-h!' and sank
back, closing their eyes, dreaming.
The president smoked 1t clean down
to the end, distributed the ashes as sa-
cred souvenirs and auctioned off the butt
to the highest bidder. 1t brought 'steen
thousand dollars for charity and was
presented by the owner to the Metro

HENRY CLAY GREEN KILLED.
A Gallant Volunteer of the New Mexico
Rough Riders" Receives His Death
Wound While Carrying the Regi-
mental Colors in the San
Juan Fight,
(Cerrillos Register.

The rumor that Clay Green, of Ger
rillos. one of the color-bearers of the
Rough Riders was killed in the battle
before Santiago de Cuba on the 1st inst,
has been confirmed. His name appears
in the published list of the dead, and a
letter written by Lieutenant VIM. Griffin,
also one of the Rough Riders" to his
wife in Santa Fe, announces the nn-
fortunate occurrence.
1t was with feelings OF profound re-
greet and sorrow that the people of Ger
rillos have received this unwelcome
news. Clay was one of the most popular
of the volunteers. His reputation for
courage and manly vigor was second to
that of none among the Trough Riders.
! When his name was enrolled with the
New Mexico troops, predictions were
freely made that his career as a soldier
would be a brilliant one and full of
courageous achievement. Up to the
minute of his death these predictions
were verified.
His regiment at that memorable battle
leading up to the attack on Santiago,
bore the brunt of the enemy's fire. The
men never flinched, but steadily ad-
vanced while the missiles of death fell
thick as hail and many soldiers fell
wounded or dying as the storm of battle
ragged. Where the iron rain poured its
most terrific torrent, Clay Green bore
the flag of his country. On the LIST of
July he received his death wound while
fearlessly and steadily advancing With
the stars and stripes in the van of the
charging column of his comrades in
arms. No more heroic death is chron-
icled in the annals of warfare. No
higher courage ave crimsoned the field
of carnage with the blood of the brave
than that which urged Clay and his
companions into the thickest of the
fight and drove back an enemy that had
lost all fear through being driven to
desperation. The battle fought by the
Rough Riders against such fearful
odds will rank in the future history of
the country as one of the bravest deeds
of daring ever recorded in the annals OF
the worlds struggle for the rights of
man. As the color-bearer, Clay was a
too conspicuous target for the enemy's
deadly fire. 1t would have been almost
a miracle had he escaped and lived
through the battle.
Henry Clay Green was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. R. Green. He was born
in Meet Camp, Watauga county, North
Carolina, August %, 1868. He moved
with the family when a small boy to
Texas. After a residence of ten years
in the latter state they moved to Ger
rillos, where he has since lived. Clay
was employed by the Ortiz Mining com
pany when he enlisted in the 1st U. 5.
volunteer cavalry. The people OF Ger
rilIos and Santa Fe county who knew
him best esteemed him most.

New Mexico Mines and Mining.

mines and Mining is the title of bull
letin No. 3, just issued by the territorial
bureau of immigration. The public
printer has just completed the printing
of 2O,OO0 copies of the bulletin, which
have been sent to Commissioner j. j.
Lesson, at the Omaha exposition, for
distribution among the people who visit
the exhibit of minerals from New Mex
leo, and they will prove of great benefit
to the territory in attracting the atten-
tion of mining men and mine investors
to the mineral wealth of the territory.
The little pamphlet is very compre-
hensive, covering the s. mining districts
in the territory in a concise name
showing that New Mexico is a fair and
reasonably sure prospecting field. In
this connection, Mr., j. d. Bone, a min
ing expert 81 good standing, and who
has Il practical knowledge of the differ
ent mineral districts of the territory,
says: at is a false idea to suppose that
a few favored spots. at which develop
ment has taken place, merely little pin
points on the vast area of mincralized
territory, are all or Il t%housandth part
of the great resources Of our noun
tains." The mineral belt of New Mex
leo is almost 400 miles in length, extend
ing from the Colorado line on the north
to Mexico on the south without a break
Of any considerable extent, on d well
defined line following the different ranges
of the Rocky mountain system.
The following list Of the products of
the mines and quarries of New Mexico
taken from the bulletin conveys a clear
idea of the diversity of the deposits:
Gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, turquois,
bituminous coal, anthracite coal, zinc,
fire clay, alum, sulphur, salt, gypsum,
onyx, and marble. Gold is found in
either placer or quartz deposits in every
county in the territory; lead and silver
abound in all the mountain ranges; coal
is mined in San Juan, Socorro, Rio Ar
riba, Lincoln, Santa Fe, Colfax and
Bernalillo counties, the output for the
year ending July /, 1897, being 1885, 93
tons, valued at 81, JOG, 915. The value
of the gold, silver, copper and lead
mined last year is not known, except that
| vast sums have been realized from the
mineral taken from the different dis
tricts. From one mine alone, the Graph
ic at Kelly, is produced sufficient lead
and silver ores to keep a 100-ton smelter
running night and day, and the product
of the mine and plant is a carload o.
bullion every "a hours. New Mexico
supplies the world with turquois.
Bulletin No. 8 contains a brief anc
clear synopsis of the mining laws gov
erning the locating and working Of lode
and placer claims and tunnel sites. The
facilities for mining are also clearly de-
picted, the climatic and economic feat
ures being fully explained. Taken al
in all the little work Is valuable, not
only as an investment stimulator, but al
a reference. and will be found wei
worth preserving by all who obtain 8
copy.

There is a faint suspicion abroad that
the telegram sent out from Washington
which quoted President Mckinley as
being disposed to conclude peace with
Spain on the terms that Puerto Rico be
ceded to The United States, the indie
pendence of Cuba admitted, a coaling
station in the Philippines and a protec
torate over the islands granted, and the
paw ment of Il moderate indemnity. was
merely a ''feeler." If that is true, the
country will not be long in letting the
president know what it thinks about the
matter. The probabilities are that moth
Ing short OF permanent possession of al
the islands taken will satisfy the people,
and the president will be in duty bound
to gracefully submit.

The affection displayed by officers of
the regular army for the men in their
commands, whenever opportunity pre-
SCENTS itself, is well illustrated in the
case Of B~rigadier General Chambers
McKibben, now at Santiago, Some
thing like Is years ago IA flag pole was
raised in the old garrison at Fort Marcy,
the pole now standing in front of the
old company quarters. Michael Nc
Cabe, of this city, was 1st sergeant of
Captain McKibben's company, then sta
toned at this post. McCabe was the
proud father of a boy called Fred, born
at the post When the flag was raised
Captin McKibben held the infant Nc
Cabe in his arms while the child pulled
the cord which raised ''Old Glory
atloat. The boy grew to mans estate
here at Santa Fe, and when his country
called, enlisted in E company of the
Rough Riders and was q participant
in all the heavy fighting around San
tiago, done by Roosevelt's regiment.
BY the merest chance he met General
McKibben there and the old officer
displayed great feeling when he ascer
tanned who young McCabe was ant
embraced him like a father. Such act'
and such feelings make the American
soldier what he is, the best and the mos
intelligent fighter in the world.
