INCREASES IN INTEREST
A New Theory in the Pennsyl-
vania Mining Case.
MANY COORDINATE VEINS
The Montana Ore Purchasing Company
Has Evidently Abandoned the Zone
Theory--Numerous Tits Be-
tween Attorneys.

Those who looked for an interesting
mining case yesterday were not dis
appointed. The trial was enlivened
by numerous tilts between the attor-
neys and made interesting by the de-
relopments Of the case. The principal
feature of the trial yesterday was the
fact, brought out on cross eXaminati ton
of the plaintiffs first expert witness,
that the great zone theory upon which
the Michael Dewitt case was fought in
the United States court by the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company as de-
PENDANT will not be used by the same
company as plaintiff in the present
Pennsylvania case, but that for the
purposes of this case the zone theory
has been practically abandoned and in
its place a theory of many co-ordin-
ate veins making up the great Rarus
lode is advanced. The zone, which was
300 feet wide at the surface. has been
while the ore body of the zone at 400
feet below the surface has been WIDEN
ed about 270 feet under the coordinate
vein theory. The trial promises to in
crease in interest as 1t progresses,
When the trial was resumed yester-
ody LIoIIluS JuuSe Mcf1aLlOn asked a
few more questions of the expert,
James ,Macfarlane, on direct examina-
ton relative to the ore connections in
the ground in controversy with the
apices in the Johnstown lode claim.
At the close of the direct examination
Mr.. Mediation stated to the court that
in response to a demand Of the defend
ants and an order of the court the wit
ness, Turner, had been in court the day
before and was again present with his
survey notes. which had not yet been
called for.
Mr.. Turner and his books of notes
are at the disposal of the defendants"
said Mr.. Mediation, but wish to say
that we have no further use for Mr..
Turner, and if the defendants want
him they must make him their own
witness. We have other work for him
to do"
They don't have to do that" said
Judge Clancy. He is here to attend
upon the court and will remain until
wanted. There is another witness now
on the stand and the defendants can go
on with his examination
Mr.. Patterson said he preferred to do
that, but said he would not need Mr.
Turner if the latter would leave his
notes in court
Yes, he can do that" said the court
That would work a hardship on Mr.
Turner, who must use his notes in other
work. said Mr. Mediation.
The world is full of hardships," said
the court, respectfully in big case like
this"

The champion stake arranged for
next Sunday at West Side park did not
fill, so it has been decided to make an
ordinary stake for Sunday, $3.50 each,
open to any number. The draw for this
stake will take place Saturday night
at o'clock. 1t seems there are not
enough champions whose owners want
to buckle up against one another. Nine
entries were received, but five of them
We're from one kennel. which would
not make a very fair proposition. For
Sunday, the 9th, there will be a stake
for saplings and one for puppies. Sap
lings whelped on and after Aug / and
puppies whelped on and after Feb. /,
1898, will be eligible.

In Regard to the Facts of a Neighborho od
Quarrel.

In regard to the recent trouble be-
tween Mrs. Pridham and Mrs. De Smell,
G. E. De Smell yesterday desired to
make a statement for publication. He
says that on the day in question on his
arrival home he had some trouble with
Mr.. Pridham, who is a tenant Of his
in an adjoining house. This occurred in
this yard, in the rear of the house, and
the loud words attracted the attention
of Mrs. De Smell, who was watering a
grass plot in the front yard. She came
back. bringing the watering hose with
her. On her arrival Mr.. Pridham made
some insulting remark which De Shell
resented with a blow and a fight fol-
lowed. Mrs Pridham helped her lfus-
band by jumping on De Smell. where
upon Mrs. De Smell turned the hose on
her.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Annual Meeting Held Last Night Mem.
bership Fees and Dues Reduced-Of-
fcers Elected-0ther Matters
Of Interest.

VI 1uU6I6Sts
The annual meeting of the Historical
Society of New Mexico was held last
evening. 1t was more than usually well
attended and much enthusiasm was eX-
pressed at the recent rapid increase in
| the size and value of its collections.
The society is certainly doing a very i'm
portant work by preserving to the terri
tory historic objects of great interest
and value which would otherwise be
scattered or carried off to enrich for
eign museums.
A number of important matters were
! considered and acted on. The most
important, perhaps, was one that has
been discussed for several years, and
that is a reduction of membership fees.
| These have always been S. for admis-
sion and ~ annually, and their size has
prevented many who were interested in
| the objects of the society from joining.
| With the view Of bringing together all
who would like to take part in its work,
the fees have now been reduced to 81
for admission and 81 a year, so as to be
| within the reach of everyone. 1t is
hoped that there will now be a large ac-
cession of members. Every one who
cares for the preservation of the history
and antiquities of the territory should
belong to the society. No part of the
| United States is so full of antiquarian
interest and it is a shame that New
Mexico should continually be robbed of
the most interesting specimens by hav-
ing them carried to the east or to Eu-
rope. But for the Historical Society
there would be no collection OF New
Mexican antiquities in New Mexico, and
the only pity is that its means are so
small that it cannot do half of its proper
work.
The biennial report to the governor
and legislature was arranged for and
will be made in a few days.
The following officers were elected:
President, Hon. L. B. Prince; vice pres
ident, Hon. w. j. Mills; treasurer, Solo
mon Spiegelberg; recording secretary,
VIM. M. BergeN corresponding secre-
tary, Hon. Venceslao Jaramillo; curator,
H. Woodruff. The president, treasurer,
recording secretary and curator are
the veteran officers who have already
stIV''u So lOuS Ill GnUSc pOsltlOuS, Tue
first three having devoted over Is years
to the work. There is a peculiar pro-
priety in the election of Judge Mills and
Colonel Jaramillo. The former is high
ly interested In historical matters and
has been Connected with various similar
societies in the east; the latter repre-
sents o family which has long been &C.
lively interested in the success Of the
society. Both his father and grand
father were life members, and each con
tributed $25 toward the purchase Of the
celebrated Cole collection which is ex-
hibited in the west room. One Of the
last letters ever written by Don Pablo
Gallegos was sent to President Prince
with $40 towards the securing Of the
rare collections of pottery from the lSan
Francisco valley.
The Legislative appropriation of 5000,
which actually produces about $500, is
barely sufficient for. keeping the rooms
open through the year, with fires and
small expenses Of maintenance. II It

SMALLPOX at Zuni,

Late information from the Zuni pueb-

a sad state of affairs among those In
dams. Smallpox is raging with terrible
results and deaths are numerous. Since
the disease broke out 217 deaths have
occurred, and 600 Indians are sick, of
whom possibly about one-half will re-
cover. DR.. Knapp, of this city, and
several nurses are in attendance on the
Indians, but are not able to give much
relief. Miss Farrote is in charge Of the
post office, the postmaster being q victim
OF the disease, and all mail passes
through the hands of DR. Hinch, of
Gallup, and is accompanied by a %certifi-
cate showing that it has been thoroughly
diSinfected,
