MINING EXCHANGE
PROPOSED
Would Be Of Great Benefit
To the City
THE SCHEME OUTLINED

A Prominent Mining Man Makes Many
Valuable Suggestions.-El PasO
The Mining Center of the South
west.-All Mining Stocks to Be
Listed Membership Not Limited
Since Ell Paso's marvellous growth
within the past few years as an import
ant mining center, the question of es-
tablishing mining exchange in this
city, where all the leading mining
stocks could be listed for the informa-
tion of mine owners, has again come up
for consideration.
J. S. Eldridge, q prominent broker
of New York, who is one of the
principal owners of the rich Pilares
mine, in the state of Chihuahua. has
had considerable experience in matters
of this kind, and to a HERALD repres-
entative he outlined plans of an organ
izstion, such as ia suggested for Ell
Paso, that are of considerable value.
81 hardly know of better scheme
to promote the interests of mining in
this locality, than to establish an ex-
change styled after the one in Denver.
The mining business certainly justifies
such venture and the exchange should
be established in Ell Paso.
1.-THE stocks of mines in New Mex
leo, Arizona, and all those in Mexico
could be listed, and the exchange
all quotations given. AS the business
of the exchange increased, stocks of
every description would be listed by
outside parties, from Colorado and
perhaps every mining center in the
world.
81 would not limit the membership
of the exchange and itshould be model
ed on lines similar to the stock ex-
changes of the larger cities. There
should be so many charter members, a
president, secretary. treasurer, caller,
and board of governors or an execu-
tive committee to pass upon the eligi-
bility of the members.
GA seat on the exchange would cost
about 800, but of course this would be
left to the discretion of the board of
governors, and partly to circumstances.
ance fund, the benefits of which could
be derived by the members. A great
many men 1 am sure would join the ex
change for no other reason than the
insurance.
I'm the case of mem ber's death the
insurance would be exempt from all at
tachments, and a member to become
the beneficiary of this insurance should
be made to pass a fair physical ex-
animation.
GA desirable location could be &C.
cured in the city. Have the call invite
the various mine owners to list their
properties here. After the business of
the exchange warranted, a stock clear
ing house could be started, when stocks
could be received, delivered and paid
for. The banking facilities in this city
are excellent and have no doubt but
what the officers of the various fnan-
ha
scheme. L am heartily in favor of it
and on my return from New York I in
tend to give the matter my closest at
tention."

FOUND DEADIN BED
A Guest At the Nelson House
Dies Suddenly
THE MAN IDENTIFIED
Some People Think He Took His Own
Life But He Was Apparently
Nearly Dead With Consumption
His Sister In Ohio Notified.

r. McGartlin, guest at the Nelson
house on Ell Paso street and q stranger
In the city, was found dead in his room
last evening and the belief is that he
took his own life.
McGartlin had only been in the city
three days and during that time had
slept at the Nelson. He had but little
money and no baggage. An empty
laudanum bottle was found beside the
mans bed and on account of this and
for other reasons it was concluded that
he had committed suicide.
McGartlin retired last night as he
had done the two previous evenings,
and before doing go, he told E. B.
Welch, the proprietor, to drop in and
see if he was alive or dead.
WEIGH did so and found McGartlin
dead.
Justice Spencer was called to hold
the request and the body turned over
to Undertaken Nagley.
Among the effects of deceased were
found the following letters:
CINCINNATI, O., April %. 1899.

"The Burlington.
On the fly leaf of q blank book which
was found in his pocket, McGartlin
had written the following:
sMy name is r. McGartlin. If die
suddenly or get killed, please notify
Miss Tressa McGartlin. Her address
Is Loveland, Ohio"
An old railway trip pass was also
found, indicating that on Jan. 8 9 year
ago, McGartlin journeyed from Smith
Vile to Fl. Worth as an M. K. q L.
brakeman.
The body of deceased was much ema-
ciated and 1t is said that he had con-
sumption. On this account some be-
lieve that he simply died from heart
failure, so common in the last stages OF
consumption.
Undertaken Nsgley wired to Miss
McGartlin. at ,Loveland, Ohio, as dir
ected by the memorandum in the blank
book. This morning he received re
ply iustructing him to prepare the body

Ell pASOANS REJOICE
Members OF Small Mining Com
pany Have An Expert In the
Field Who Has Made a Rich Dis

About four months ago eight men re.
siding in this city formed a small min
ing company for the purpose of send
ing out competent mining man to
prospect the surrounding country and
also to invade Mexico. D. W. Reck-
hart was ut the head of the enterprise
and after much labor he gathered
around him as his associates, b. G..
Ross, John Julian, e. Kohlberg, 81. B..
Chairman, S T. Chaplin, D. M. Payne,
and w. S.'McCutcheon. The company
was organized for q period of four
months and each member was to con-
tribute certain amount to defray the
expenses of the man they would select
to prospect for them. The man select
ed was Jerry Wines, q mining man of
wide experience, and he first visited
Mexico in the interests of the company:
He returned from Mexico unsuccessful
in his prospecting tour, but still deter
mined, he made his way to Arizona and
thence to New Mexico. Word now
reaches this city that almost at the ex-
piration of the four months Mr.. Wines
has made most important discovery
of rich ore in New Mexico, short dis
lance from Lordsburg, and within one
hundred and forty miles from Ell Paso.
Mr.. Wines in letter to D. W. Reck-
hart says:
81 certainly have struck it rich.
have already sent you samples of the
ore and you can see for yourself the
richness of the mineral. I am only
down about foot and it grows better
and richer as the development increas-
es. AS you will notice the top crop
pings are pretty dirty looking rock and
one would never suspect that mineral
would be underneath. 1 have about
two car loads of ore resdy to be ship
ped and will begin hauling it to- the
station on Thursday of this week."
Mr.. Reckhsrt said that as much as
he knows about mineral, had he seen
the ore he would undoubtedly have
passed 1t by, as on the surface there is
not the slightest indication that there
is any metal underneath.
81 assayed the ore sent and find
that it is very rich. It runs from
twenty to thirty per cent lead, five per
cent copper, fifteen dollars in gold
and one hundred aud twenty five OF. sill
YER. II the property pans out we'll it
will be of immense benefit to Ell Paso.
All the members of the company are
iubilant over the rich find"
