SOME RUMoRs THAT
 ARE STRONGLY DENIED.
United States Has Broken No Faith In Peace Negotiations, and Does Not
 Intend to Do So.

Washington, July 29.-It can be stated on authority at the state depart ment and at the foreign embassies here that there were no oyertures in behalf of Spain for peace or a cessation of hos tilities until the French ambassador last Tuesday afternoon presented his note to the president. This statement is made with full knowledge of European de- nials and must be accepted as that of the government of the United States Therefore all of the talk about bad faith shown by our government in pressing the Porto Rican campaign during the last few days is absolutely without foundation, and our government has done nothing that can subject it to criti- cism on this score. In addition to the representations of the United States government. the persons qualified to speak for the government of Spain in this country make an exactly similar statement, and it is alleged that charges of bad faith against the United States, attributed to Premier Sagasta, are dis credited and are inventions designed to prejudice the successful progress of the present. peace movement.
 It could not be contemplated for mo- ment that any mere personal exchange of views between persons ill Europe could be construed as an overture for peace, and although there may have been some of this "baek door gossip, is can be again affirmed that the United States government has not been party to it.
 So far as Ambassador Cambon is con cerned, it can be stated positively that he made no overtures, directly or indi- reetly, officially or unoficially, relating to peace, or to any phase of peace, prior to last Tuesday afternoon.

ORTIZ MINE DEVELOPMENT.
Under the Active Management Of L. O..
Erman, for the st. Louis Lessees, This
Valuable Property is Being Elk
tensively Worked.

The Ortiz Mining company, that has
leased the famous old Ortiz mine, about
a mile from Dolores, in south Santa Fe
county, from the New Mexico Mining
company, under the active management
of Mr.. L. G. Erman, its general mana
ger, is doing some very extensive work.
The present shaft is being deepened
and will go down at least 900 feet deeper,
the ore body justifying this fully
making it a depth of 600 feet. An
other five-foOt Huntington mill is being
added to the two already in use, increas-
ing the capacity for treating ores great
ly, and a new and powerful pumping
apparatus Is being put in. The COM
pany now employs about 80 men and
more will be put on in the neal future.
The returns from the ores treated and
shipped during the past six months have
been very satisfactory, indeed, although
the exact value cannot be ascertained
from the company; but the improve
ments nov being made and the addi-
tional money that is being put into new
machinery and general improvements
on the property are mighty good evil
dence that the l~essees, who have a 80
years lease. are we'll satisfied. The
stock of the company is held in st.
Louis.
Mr.. Erman and his sister are at the
mine and like the country very much,
as the climate around Dolores is very
salubrious and mild.
Mr.. Erman is also managing a Cripple
Creek property and takes occasional
trips to that mining center, but spends
most of his time at the Ortiz mine,
which Is located eight miles from Ger
rillOs.
