A MINERAL WONDER


New Mexico Gold Property Developing Z
Into One of the Great Bonsnkss.
The Albemarle mine. at COchiti, N. NJ,
has developed into one Of the biggest
mining properties In the west, and the
enlargement OF the mill now In progress
will put IL in the front rank OF producers,
says the Denver Republican.
The mine has developed with extraor-
dinary rapidity. At the surface the ore
body was twenty five feet wide. At the
ilfth level II was forty two feet wide, and
word was received here few days ago
that in the sixth level IL had wdened out
TO lifty. y.seven feet, the entire mass carry
ing fi5 In gold TO the ton. The ore IL
ninety-six per cent silica, with only two
per cent sulphides. and the gold Is 40
evenly distributed that IL Is one OF the
best cyanide propositions ever opened.
j. A. COrsm, o. Y. Posey and others OF the
principal owners are to meet at the mine
Sunday TO take action regarding the en-
lsrgement OF the mill to double its
capacity. for which the contract has been
let to the Is p. Allis Co.
This mill now has q capacity OF 12l
tons per day, and after the enlargement
has been completed, will be able TO treat
10000 tons per month. The improve
ments include an electric plant. the
power for which will be transmitted
nearly thirty miles, and will not only
operate the mill and mine, but will sup
ply power for another mine In the yicin-
ity. A portion OF the machinery has al
ready been shipped and the rest IL being
manufactured at the Allis foundry
Work on the buildings necessary is to be
commenced at once, and the enlarged
plant will be IN full operation from the
start. The mine has paid handsomely
ever since the mill WAS completed, about
year ago, and the profits will be largely
increased by the improvements now in
progress.

near the highest point of the span.
Kretz leaped from it and like a fash,
vaulted the high railing. He took no
time to steady himself for DerDen-
dicular drop and swung some distance
out from the structure before he as
sumed an upright position.
The passengers jumped from the car

hundreds of persons on the promenade
tried to get a glimpse Of the figure.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Feeling Among Peace Delegates Steadily
Growing In Its Favor

The Hague, May 2S-The newly APP
pointed sub committee of the third
committee Of the peace conference, the
arbitration committee. will meet, to
morrow. 1t will be known as the
drafting committee, indicating in Its
name the scope of its function.
The delegates have worked unceas-
ingly, today. although the fomal labor
of the conferece was suspended. An
effort is being made, and with a GER
lain degree of progress, to combine the
Russian and British proposals in such
a way that the report of the drafting
committee may secure the support Of
both parties in plenary committee.
NJ DeStaal and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote chiefs Of the Russian and Brush
delegations respectively, and other del
egates had a long conference, today
with this end in view. and there IS no
doubt that an agreement in principle
would be reached.
THE hope of the delegates that per-
manent arbitration board will be estap-
lished is rapidly improving. The diiti-
cult points now relate to the compost
ton Of the tribunal. how the represeh-
tation Of the powers is to be arranged
and the limitations to be placed upon
the jurisdiction of the board.

Salt Lake City, Utah. May 2S-Rear
Admiral Schley arrived here, today, from
Denver. At Provo, Utah, he was met by
a reception committee headed by Gov.
Wells and other prominent citizens.
A large and enthusiastic crowd greeted
the party at the railway station. This
afternoon, the admiral and party attended
the services at the Tabernacle. The reg
ular services were suspended Tor special
services in his honor. After music by the
choir. short sermon was preached by
At the conclusion of the services. Rear
Admiral SchIey was escorted to the pulpit
and after shaking hands with the church
officials made a short speech. He said in
part:
.'This Is the first time in my life that l
have ever been in the interior of this
great empire of ours, and nave abundant
proof and reason now TO understand how
il is that we have grown to such mighty
nation. | believe that the fundamental
principles UNDERLYING mat conhdence
the respect and love for its women. As
we say in our profession. the man who
serves best behind the guns is the man
who has the best woman serving behind
him IL has been this condition largely
which has made our flag a little more
beautiful; that has made Us a little bit
more proud of being Americans
In the war through which we have
lust passed, | think it is worth all the
blood that has been shed ana all the
money that has been spent TO have
learned our own powers and TO nave
taught il to other people. Another I'M
pressivc lesson has been that the lines
which heretofore divided us have all been
dissipated and in the war just ended the
North and the South. the East and the
West have stood in that brotherhood ana
in that readiness TO die for the best nag
i'm the world, supported and protected by
the best people, because they believe N
God : presence in everything.

Havana, May 2S.-There We're III ap-

900 which the United States has offer
ed as gratuity to the Cuban troops.
Thirty We're given $7J each The
others were not on the rolls although
they had guns which they We're ready
to turn in and certificates of service.
The United States military authori-
ties consider that the rolls are unrelia-
BILE. Indeed, the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that large proportion of the
names are fictitious and that the rolls
omit majority Of the names Of those
rightly entitled to share in the gratuity
The object of this. apparently, is To dis
credit the entire proceedings and 10
show the Cuban public that a large
number of the troops refuse to take
American money.
Lieut.. Geo. NJ. Randall Of the Sth L.
s.. Infantry. the commissioner superin-
tending the distribution here, went
carefully over the rolls of one battalion
with its commandment. The command
ant pointed out that "a names of men
who are dead and names of others who
had not been heard Of outside the rolls.

arms-Mausers. Remingtons and car
bines. The other five showed receipts
from the Alcalde vouching for the de-
livery of their arms.
The payments will continue until to-
morrow noon in Havana city, but Col.
Randall believes it will be necessary
to have additional days after n while
here and extra pay rolls for men who
have undoubtedly seen service. He al
so believes that We're the payment to
be continued in Havana for the next
three days at least 90 per cent. Of
those entitled to apply would do so.
Most of those who received shares. to-
day. asserted that they only heard by
accident that the distribution was now
actually taking place.
Col. Randall will send to Senior Per
fccto Lacoste, the mayor, all the arms
turned in. today
The first payment outside of Havana
will be made on Tuesday at Santiago
de las Vegas, whittier Col. Randall, the
clerk and 80 soldiers will go with the
paymaster.
Gen. Carpenter. military governor of
the department of Puerto Principe, ar
rived. today. to attend the meeting of
military governors summoned by Gov.
Gen. Brooke for Thursday next. He
reports that affairs in that province
are in good condition, that the people
continue at work. and that there is no
trouble from brigands. The muster
out of the volunteers there leaves the
Sth L. S. Cavalry. numbering 300 men.
and the 18th L. 5. Infantry. numbering
100. as the force of occupation.
An artillery sergeant has been re-
duced to the ranks for interfering with
the police. Major Gen. Ludlow, mill
tary governor Of Havana, in approving
the sentence. said the matter was a
grave one and that our soldiers must
learn to respect the difference between

The American military men consult

was not entitled to share of the

Cuban American, serving a sentence in
the penitentiary, would be sent under

400 men had been expected, and possi-
bly, many of these will come later. But
the scheme of payment, so far as Ha-
Vana is concerned, looks like a failure.
Quite different results are expected in
the country districts where the Gu

influence is not as strong. At noon,
