LOW GRADE MINES
HURT BY NEW LAW.

on large scale 1t is mostly New
York and Boston capitalists that are
interested. The Copper Hill mine nj
Hincanado is proving bonanza, and
machinery is on the way to erect a
large smelter and mill. The Santa Fe
Gold and Copper Mining Company
perfected Its entries in the land office
today, and has absorbed nearly every
copper prospect that Is worth while
owning in the San Pedro district.
The Santa Rita district is producing
large amounts of copper, and 1t seems
true that the Standard oil people have
not only gobbled up all the copper
mines, but have acquired valuable but
undeveloped iron properties which are
said to rank in richness with the best
in this country, Cuba or Spain. The
talk of erecting a large rolling mill by
the Rockefellers in the iron district in
Grant county cannot be verified. 1t is
more likely that the mill will be bull,
at El PasO. though it will secure its
ore from Grant county and its Goa
from Lincoln county. The Ell Paso &
Northeastern has reached the Saladc
I coal field and large force of men has
been put to work uncovering the Goa

from Las Vegas to Elizabeth and the

ference to-day between General Otis
and Colonel Manuel Argueleses and

from General Luna under flag of

VETOED A MINING BILL.
Governor Thomas ID Dsapproves tho Meas
ure Affecting Co-renants.

Governor Thomas has vetoed :. H..
No. 511, known as the cO-tenants bill.
The bill provided for the development
of mining claims by co-tenants, and
was intended primarily to protect the
interests of partners owning less than
the controlling shares of lenses.
In returning It without his approval
the governor says, after reviewing 1t
very fully:
II will be noticed that In this bill
the character of the work and Its ten
dency to develop or not develop the
mine is wholly subordinated to the in
tent which the tenant declares to have
actuated him in its prosecution. The
real purpose of such work might be to
develop the individual property of the
tenant in possession and adjacent to
that in which the work was done. On
the other hand. 1t might be done with
n bona fide purpose of developing the
property, and yet performed In such n
manner as not to develop II at all. Yet
not only the actual but the reasonable
cost of such work may be retained by
the tenant In possession. Thus It may
readily be seen that the owner of an
insignificant interest In valuable
property, by obtaining possession
thereof, may exploit II to suit himself.
and by doing alleged work with the
intent to develop and by adjusting the
reasonable cost of all work and de-
velopment to suit his Judgment prac-
tically own. control ana absorb all the
proceeds derived by him from the
common property to the permanent
loss and injury of his co-tcnnnts. Such
n revolution In the general principles
Of law regulating the rights ana duties
of co-tenants would work the gravest
wrong and injustice. and cannot be
tolerated.
II therefore return this | III without
my approval.

Are Planning to Pay ON Their Creditors.
Havana, May 1.-The Cuban planters
have accepted General Brooke's mort
gage-eXtensiOn decree as the best pOssi-
BILE solution of the problem of liquida-
tion of land Indebtedness. The
amended edict, published in the Oni-
cial Gazette this morning, makes the
situation of the planters much easier
than the scheme originally proposed at
washington, and at the meeting of the
Planters association this afternoon
more than fifty landowners expressed
themselves as satisfied with the out
come of negotiations.
The meeting nOminally was called to
consider the report of the commission
sent to Washington, but Secretary Des-
vernine gave such glowing account
of the treatment accorded the COM
mittee by President Mckinley and Sec
retary Alger that the planters almost
turned the assembly into jollification
meeting. MIR. Desvernine announced
that the Washington authorities had
tacitly promised that n further extern
sion of time would be allowed for the
payment of mortgages in case the re-
vival of the sugar industry should
make such an extension seem justifi-
able, and If the land should be still un-
der the control of the American author
tiles.
When the two years extension has
expired the planters are confident they
viii be able to make new and advanta-
geous arrangements Immediately with
their creditors as well as with the
debtor tenants. and they. expect the
rehabilitation of the country before
May, 1901.

Next week the work of tapping tho

Two diamond drill holes, with a di

mining propositions of the season. The

closed down for more than two years
on account of water. The workings OF
the mine are LOO feet deep and are

stream at the lower opening will bt
something fearful.
The Nelson tunnel Is driven in the

Chance vein, and is about eighty feet
therefrom and thirty-five feet below
The rock is solid and there has beer
no perceptible seepage from the great
