districts in the territory which at pres
ent is exciting most attention in Colo
RADIO, and there Is no doubt that it will
be the Cripple Creek of New Mexico. In
1892 the conditions in Cripple Creek
We're not as good; there was less ore in
sight than there is at present in Bland.
The ore at Bland Is of better quality,
too, than it was at Cripple Creek in
1892, and If the same amount of energy
be displayed. With the same amount of
advertising as done at Cripple Creek
Bland will achieve the same results in
a few years, and if Santa Fe is alive
to its opportunities it will then be where
Colorado Springs is to-day.
Mr.. Reynolds is confident that Bland
will have railroad communication in
less than two years to handle the in
creasing ore shipments, as well as the
merchandise that will have to go into
the growing camp, and it will be very
fortunate for Santa Fe if she can Sc
cure the railroad line to the Cochiti. Mr.
Reynolds has great faith, born of per-
sonal knowledge, in the mining re-
sources of the territory. and prophesies
that it will soon be greater mineral
producer than Colorado.

SHORTEST TODENYER
The La Veta Pass Gut Off Gives
The D. & R. G.. a Chance to
Do More Business.
The LA VETA SHORT LINE
But it Must Out Down Its Time to Get
Passenger Business Through Santa Fe
To California, Ell Paso and the
Southwest.

The business on the Santa Fe branch
Of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
destined for points south, and using this
station as a gateway to central and
southern New Mexico, Arizona and
northern Texas, for the month just
the road Ninety-one car loads of flour
and potatoes from the San Luis valley
passed through the Santa Fe gateway
during the month of October just past,
Fe railway. This business increased
so per cent over that of October OF last
year, despite the fact that the crops of
the San Luis valley in 1898 were extra
ordinarily large, whereas during 1899
they were poor. The tonnage amounted
to 2,O5O,0O0 pounds, an increase of 10000
pounds. There were thirty-seven more
cars handled during the month than
during October, 1898.
This shows conclusively that with the
right facilities, good rates and the prop
er kind of work by the officials Of the
Denver & Rio Grande freight depart
ment, the Santa Fe gateway freight
business can be made very profitable to
both railroads interested. General
Agent 7. ]. Helm has done this kind of
work in the past, and is pushing to ex-
tend this business into new fields. The
New Mexican is of the opinion that with
better passenger facilities and a reduc-
ton in time between Denver and Santa
Fe the passenger traffic over the Santa
Fe branch of the Denver & Rio Grande
might be greatly increased within few
Something of that kind should
certainly be done by the Denver & Rio
Grande passenger department.
On Sunday next the broad-gauge cut
off via La Veta will be in use, and this
will reduce the mileage on the d. & X.
G. between Denver and this city to
miles less than the mileage
over the Santa Fe via Trinidad. This
paper believes that considerable travel
could be sent from Denver to California
and to Mexico were the D. & r. G. to
reduce its time between Denver and
here, with a better passenger equip
nent, and were close connection made
between the D. & r. G. trains and the
Santa Fe trains out of here south. This
would certainly rebound to the benefit
of both roads interested, and there
seems to exist no good reason why this

WHAT WAS IT?
The Petrifed Head Of Prehistoric Great.
DrA.

Alphonso Dockweiler to-day brought
into the city more of the remains of the
prehistoric animal discovered on Post
master Simon Nusbaum's farm at Te-
suque. They are on exhibition in the
store of H. S. Kaune & Co. Thus far
only the head Of the animal has been
found, but Mr.. Dockweiler believes that
the rest of the skeleton will be found at
a greater depth. The bones, which have
been petrified, are very brittle, and are
incrusted with limestone. 1t is impos-
sible to classify the animal at present
for it resembles nothing that those who
saw 1t remember having seen in pic
lures or descriptions. The jaws Of the
animal were enormous, and with it's
twenty rows of teeth in each jaw it
must have been terror of the seas or
the ocean, whose waves dashed high
against old Mount Baldy. Several pieces
Of the petrified bone look like fins,
which seem to confirm the idea that the
animal was amphibious and was SINH
lar in habits and appearance to the ex-
tinct plesiosaurus and ichthyosaurus.

stances which attended the movement
of Lieutenant Colonel Cartoons column
are not yet fully known, but from re-
ports received the column appears to
have carried out the night march un-
molested until within two miles of
Nicholson's mex. At this point big
boulders were rolled from the hill and a
few rifle shots stampeded the military
ammunition mules. The stampedes
spread to the battery mules, which
broke loose from their leaders and got
away with practically the whole of the
gun equipment and greater portion Of
the regimental small arm ammunition
The reserve was similarly lost. The in
fantry battalions however with fixed
bayonets and accompanied by the per-
sonnel Of the artillery seized the hill on
the left Of the road, two miles from the
mex, with but little opposition. There
they remained unmolested until dawn,
the time being occupied in organizing
defense of the hill and constructing
walls as cover from the fire. At dawn a

way until $3.50 a. M, when re-enforce-
ments enabled them to rush to the at
tack with great energy. Their fire be-
came very searching. and two compa-
nies of Gloucesters, in an advanced DO
sition, were ordered to fall back. The
enemy then pressed to short range, and
losses on our side became very numer-
Gus. At 3 p. m. our ammunition was
practically exhausted, the position was
captured, and the survivors of the col
umn fell into the enemy's hands.

BRIGHT MINING PROSPECTS.
An Old Miner Prophesies That New Mexico
Will Lead in Mineral Production.

Frank A Reynolds, mining man
from Cripple Creek, who has mining in
terests in New Mexico, is a visitor in the
city today.
Mr.. Reynolds is an old-timer in New
Mexico, and was for many years en-
gagged in mining in the Black range
country in Sierra county. He will try
his hand at it again in this territory
and in few days will go to Bland to
look up some property for Colorado
capitalists. In speaking of the outlook
of the mining interests in New Mexiqo,
he says that it is better than it ever
has been, and that there is very great
Improvement over two or three years
ago, although he saw in 1882, when he
came from Arizona, that New Mexico
would in time be the leading mineral
producing state in the United States.
Better opportunities to prospectors and
capitalists exist on every hand at pres
ent than ever before for exploiting the
mineral wealth Of the territory. Cochiti
is the district of the eighty-one mining

The New Time Card.

Superintendent j. e. Hurley, of the
Santa Fe railroad, in an interview at
Albuquerque, stated that the new time
table will make no changes. i'm the time
of trains Nos. and II from the north
and the east going south. Train No. %,
from Ell Paso will arrive at Albuquer-
que in the morning at 1925 instead of in
the evening at that time. The local
train from Santa Fe to connect with
this at Lamy will leave here about a..
m. and return about II a. m. The train
leaving Santa Fe for the southern con-
nection at S:55 p. m. will be abandoned.
Santa Fe thus gets a train in and out
in the forenoon that has heretofore been
a night train. The time card will go
into effect next Sunday. Four trains a
week each way between Chicago and
Los Angeles will be put on, beginning
next Tuesday.

SKELETONS FOUND.
Two Prospectors Believed to Have Been
Killed.


1t is reported that few days ago the
skeletons Of two men were found on the
south side of Abo pass, 30 miles from
Sablnal, Socorro county, under a pile of
gravel. These are believed to be the
remains of two prospectors from Denver
who outlitted at Albuquerque and started
TO the Manzano mountains last spring.
they gathered up some additional sup
plies at Sabnal and then started across
the plain toward the mountain, after
which they were never seen again,
though the remains of their camp were
found by some sheep herders about
month after, and the appearance of the
place indicated that everything of any
value had been carried away, going to
show that they had moved on, and no
attention would have been paid to the
matter, but for the fact that their bur-
ros were still there, running with other
animals on the range. This caused
some OF the people to think that all was
not right, and a search was made in the
vicinity by several parties, but nothing
came of it, and the affair was forgotten
vii the CHASTITY discovery brought it to
Auu buc ClICuulSuhuCCS DIS
now developed seem to show pretty
clearly that the men were murdered,
probably for their camp outfit and the
little money which they likely had with
Ohem, and their bodies buried in the
gravel about mile from the camp.
Nothing was known in regard to the
parties except that they came from
colorado. There was good deal of
talk about the matter at the time OF
their disappearance, and this called to
mind the tact that one of the men was
taller than the average, with sandy
nair and beard and about 4J years OLD,
while the other was considerably young
er, rather stoutly built, of medium size
and with smooth face. Beyond this
nothing is known about them, but the
remains found correspond in size so
completely with the two men mentioned
that there is hardly a doubt that this
find explains what became of the miss
ing prospectors last spring.

If opportunity should offer to capture

our field batteries and the enemy's guns
ensued, and our Maxims are understood
to have caused heavy loss to the enc

having been repulsed, the troops were
slowly withdrawn to camp, pickets be-

The charge that President Dole was
engaged in a conspiracy to remove
Capt King from the Cabinet is reiter-
ated by the journal that published
wat was alleged to be positive dec
laration by Minister Damon that such
a conspiracy existed, and that he had
promptly and with righteous indigna-

his colleagues, who had for so many
years, through good and evil report,
stood with him, and only at the last
moment, like some other good and
faithful men, had suddenly gone
wrong" By the rules of common NOR
ality, Mr.. Damon is under strong OBJ
legation to affirm or deny the correct
