Weavers' Wares

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The General Ex.
ecutive Council of the National Union of
Textile Workers of America met in the Ho-
tel Cadillac yesterday and discussed the ad-
visibility Of making a demand for fewer
hours of work and higher wages all over the
country. The union, it was said, may soon
have a fight upon it's hands in the South,
where the wages of employees have already
been reduced. A member of the Executive
Committee was appointed to confer with
the local leaders in Augusta, Ga, where
trouble is expected in the King and Sibley
mills.
The Council issued statement calling the
attention of manufacturers to probable dan
ger to the cotton industry in this country
in the event of the annexation of the Phil
ippines. The Council said that if foreign
capital were to build factories there, the
Southern manufacturers will suffer greatly.

Thornton Was Insane

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. l5.-Charles H
Thornton, who committed suicide in the
Southern Hotel Sunday night, is said to be
a nephew of the Governor of New Mexico,
his dead fathers brother His father, Chas.
Thornton, who was lawyer of prominence
and ability, fell from saddle horse and
was killed, strangely enough, not three
blocks from the Southern Hotel, twenty
years ago.
Charles H. Thornton came here from his
home in Los Angeles, Cal, to receive treat.
ment for nervous affection. 1t is thought
that constant worry over bad investments
in California irrigation schemes caused the
young man to kill himself.

A Plucky Preacher

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Rev. Maurice
Rosenthal, Jewish clergyman, was aroused
from his sleep early today by hearing a
stranger in his house in East One Hundred
and Sixteenth street. Arming himself with
a pistol, he went into the parlor, where he
was attacked by the intruder. The two
men fought desperately for few moments,
the burglar proving to be the stronger. At
last the clergyman fired his pistol full in
the face Of the burglar, who fell uncon. n
scious, the bullet having torn out his left
eye and entered the brain. The wounded
man was taken to the hospital, where he
recovered sufficiently to reveal his name
and address as William Farrell of North
Third street, Philadelphia. He is about q
years of age and of powerful build. The
surgeons say he cannot recover.

ARMY OFFICERS
Choosing Positions Which Are Pleas
ant to Hold

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
General Merritt will resume command of
the department of the East with headquart-
ers at Governors Island, when he returns
from Europe, and General Shafter will 90
to San Francisco to command the DEPART
ment of the Pacific, which he relinuuished
when the war began and he was ordered
to New Orleans, and eventually to Tampa
and Cuba. These assignments are to he
made whether hostilities are resumed or
not as both the officers concerned are
satisfied to make way and give younger men
an opportunity for active service in the
field if occasion requires. General Shafter
will reach the retiring age of sxty-four
years on October l6, 1899, and his wish to
end his military career in his adopted home
on the Pacific slope will be respected. In
fact, it was much as promised to him when
he took temporary command at Governors
Island.
General Merritt can advance no further
in rank on his retirement on June l6 1900,
as his immediate superior, General Miles,
still has five years to serve.

The FOUNTAIN MURDER.
Pat CARROTS Long Hunt-A Long Chase,
But 1t May Be Successful.
Denver News

On February i. 1896, Colonel A. j..
Fountain, a prominent citizen and law
yer of southern New Mexico, and his
%12-year-old son were murdered on the
road between Lincoln and Las Cruces
and their bodies hidden. The crime was
a dastardly one and created great ex-
element in the entire territory. There
was absolutely NO clew to the perpetrat-
ors of the deed, beyond the suspicion
that it had been the bloody work of a
certain gang of outlaws, whose members
Colonel Fountain had been prosecuting
in the courts. In a few days it was an
nounced that the authorities and friends
of the deceased had employed Pat Gar
rett, New Mexico's noted criminal
catcher, the man who had hunted down
and shot ''Billy the Kid" to trail the
murderers. Commenting ON the fact,
the News asserted that when Pat Gar
rett took the trail he would never leave
1t until he had caught the murderers.
More than two years have elapsed
and the assassination had almost faded
from the public mind, but Pat Garrett
had not given up the chase. With the
grim determination, sagacity and per-
sistence for which he is noted, he has
run down every clew, until now it is In
nounced that four indictments have
been found, two of the parties placed
under arrest, and officers put on the
track of the other two alleged assassins.
As a piece of detective work this, con-
sidering all the difficulties and dangers
involved, must be accorded a high rank.

MINING In TAOS COUNTY.
Clear and Concise Description of the Various
Camps Unsurpassed Chances for
Success,

The mining industry of Taos county
is still in its infancy. Although gold
and silver were known to exist by the
early Spaniards, the county had not be-
gun to be thoroughly prospected until
the last few years and what properties
have been developed have shown the
most flattering results. Placer gold can
also be PANIED in more or less quantities
out of almost all the gulches heading in
the Sangre de Christie range.
Several big companies are endeavor-
ing to make the same pay by working
them on a large scale. There are half
a dozen or so mining camps in the coun-
ty, the most important are Red River,
Amizett, Hematite and Copper Hill.
Red River, the largest of the camps,
had about 800 inhabitants this spring;
also has a small smelter erected for the
Stella mine. The country rock is of a
p%horphyrific nature. The veins are
large and clearly defined, showing gold,
silver and lead. The Memphis, up Bitter
Creek, looks very promising and the
OAPCSU SocI w NC hlPplIiS 1hClC
are also numerous other properties that
look very well from the surface, but are
practically undeyeloped. Amizett, the
other side of the range from Red River,
has a greater variety of country rock,
including most all of the granite series,
s~eyenite, schist, gneiss, etc., also quartz
lite, Cambrian and ~pre-Cambrian. Ami
zett has two distinct districts, the gold
and silver. In the gold district, ore has
been found that assayed very high and
where any amount of development work
has been performed as in the S%hoshone,
the ore has increased in value as depth
was obtained. Assays as high as IS, 900
to the ton has been taken from this
mine, which has also shipped several
carloads of ore to Pueblo. At the pres
ent time the owners are still opening up
this property. The best gold ores are
found in a copper sulphide (chalco
pyrite).
In the silver district lead %carbonates
carry both gold and silver. The Brook
landt, formerly known as the Lone Star,
has 1870 foot shaft and shows large guam
titles of argentiferous quartz. Hema-
tite, Is miles northeast of Amizett, has
a mill under construction and seems to
be a f1ourishing little camp, and people
living in the vicinity seem to be very
sanguine of the success and ability of
the mill to treat the ores Of the camp.
In the other districts rich bodies of ore
have been opened up. In the Copper
Hill vicinity rich copper %carbonates are
found.
As a summary it is well to state that
the outlook for mining In Taos county is
as good as can DO found in any part of
the United States, and there is plenty of
''unprospected' country for the man
who is willing to look for gold and silver
mines and chances of success are as
much in his favor as can be found in
any other mining community.

A Long Lane That Has No Turn.

A LAS VEGAS dispatch to the Denver
News states that the result of the recent
city election in Las Vegas was a rebuke
to Governor Otero. The Citizens Union
ticket, which consisted of a majority of
Republicans, it seems, was elected by an
average majority Of 200 over the regular
Republican ticket. The latter was put
In the field on the evening before cleo
ton and then only by a few determined
Republicans. There was very little in
terest taken in the election, to be sure,
but why it should be a rebuke to Gov.
ernor Otero, who has for the past ten
months resided in Santa Fe and is in no
shape, name or form mixed up in the
city politics of Las Vegas is more than
any sensible or fair man can tell. The
dispatch was evidently inspired and sent
by some man or a set of men who dislike
the course OF Governor Otero and his
stand as q fearless and fair executive
and as consistent Republican. Such OPP
position must be expected. Indeed it is
wholesome; for it Is a well known fact
that the prominent citizen or public Of
fetal of New Mexico who has no enemies
amounts to mighty little. But why the
town of Las Vegas, Governor Otero's
home town, should contain enemies of
the governor, is not exactly clear; GER
tainly he has done all he could so far for
the well-being, development and ad-
vancement of that town. When it comes
to the appointments to Office, citizens of
Las Vegas have been by no means ig-
nored, but have certainly received a
larger share than has been the custom
under any preceding territorial admins
tration. 1t is a long lane in politics that
has no turn, and it is more than likely
that the very man who penned the dis
patch in question and the clique that
inspired it, will be asking favors of Gov
ernor Otero before another IL months
roll by. a
