MAJOR DAVIS
Brought Half Ton OF Ore Back
From San Pedro.


Major S M Davis returned yesterday
evening from his trip down The Sierra
Madre line In the interest of the
mineral exhibit. He has about 1900
pounds of mineral now 1T Juarez.
He is highly pleased with the cou airy
in which he has been and say he never
felt more at home in a strange cuuotry
In his life. He says the men ne met,
beginning with MIR. Logan, of the Sier-
ra Madre line and including every
mine marager and foreman ON the line,
are perfect Che. terields for courtesy
and politeness and did all they could
to make his visit one of pleasure.
The major says the people on this
side of the river have no idea of the
amount of rsiness the Sierra Madre
q doing. They think it Is lit one
hoss affair but it is hus:ling i.ns and
doing a big business, e-pecieIl: in
freight.
1t is the cause of the deveicpmeut
of t,at country through which the
major has been and he says thai Mr.
Logan by his personal courtesy and
pleasant iphlencs is doiog much
toward bringing that country t. the
front and making it one of the finest
regious Of the southwest.

MEXICO'S CARNIVAL


Hold d Grand Exposition And
Carnival In the City OF Mexico,
To Commemorate the Beginning
OF the New Century.-ConsuI
Ma1len Believes That This Will
Have Much To Do To Assure the
Success OF FL paso's MidWinter
Carnival.
Francisco Mallen, the Mexican con-
sui at Ell Paso, is enthusiastic over the
proposed mid winter carnival to be
held here during this coming winter.
SIT will be q great thing for Ell
Paso," said Mr.. Mallen, zone of the
best things for the city in years, and it
will also be great thing for Mexico.
Not only will Juarez profit by the
carnival, but the entire republic will
feel the benefit of the closer relations
which will result from q personal
knowledge OF the country.
II think there Is no doubt but that
make trip to the City of Mexico be-
fore returning to their bones. There
will:be an especial inducement in the
fact that while the mid winter carnival
is in progress in Ell Psso, the great
centen nial exposition of the Mexican
government will be 10 progress in the
capital city of Mexico. This will be
held in January, 1901, aad will be the
largest aft air of its kind ever held. 1t
will be an eA position and carnival and
grand fete in commemora tion of the
beginning Of new century.
mot much is generally known con-
cernipR the carnival to be held in the
city OF Mexico, and / am confident tt at
when it does become known to the
visitors in E! Paso during It's caroival,
there will be many strangers from re.
mote portions of The United S a.es who
will avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty of seeing the historical city OF Mex
CO under such favorable circumstances.
The Mexico carnival and centennial
will also have its effect on the mum Der
of visitors who will come to Ell Paso
during the attractive fete which has
been arranged for this winter"

A DEATH.
Augustus Van Dyck Passes Away in
a Mysterious Manner.

Augustus Van Dyck, who since early
days has been q resident Of Eureka,
died sometime during the night Of We'd
nesdsy, March 2S in q house on Buel
street, and the circumstances connected
with the case are somewhat mysterious.
When found Thursday morning by in.
mates Of the place the body was lying on
the floor where ID had evidently fallen
with considerable force, as the face was
bruised and covered with blood. At first
il was thought an inquest would be
necessary, but after looking into the
matter it was decided that death had
resulted from natural causes, and no
official investigation was made.
Mr.. Van Dyck was nearly 70 years of
age and q native Of New Jersey. where
his family have long been held in high
esteem. Early in the SOS he came to
this coast, and rode the pony express
between Fort Churchill and Dayton in
this State during the days when the
mails were carried across the country in
that manner. He was with Superinten.
dent Gamble and Pete Lowell when they
built the 6rst telegraph line between
Placerville and Sacramento. and for
many years was engaged with Mr.. Lowell
in building and repairing the Western
Union Telegraph Company's lines in this
State.
Mr.. Van Dyck was well known in Eu-
reka and all speak highly Of him. He
was q man Of considerable education,
and some years ago taught school in
various districts in the State.

InPORTANT MINING DEAL.
1t r. Perfected by Charles Read Of
the Diamond Il Excelsior,

- 1ACChshOEs
The promised mining litigation between
the companies owning the Bullwhacker
and Silver West mines on Adams Hill,
growing out'of . replevin suit brought
by Laird Bros. ss ~lessees Of the Bull
whsoker against VIM. Harris ct al, to
recover $500, being the alleged value Of
twenty toms Of ore which the plaintiff
claimed had been taken from within the
limits Of their property, has been amicably
settled by the purchase Of the Bull
whacker mine from the Ruby & Dunder.
berg Company by Superintendent Chas.
Read Of the Diamond & Excelsior Mining
Company.
Mr.. Read made . proposition several
days ago to Mr.. Morrison. Superintendent
Of the Dunderberg Company. toeither buy
or sell. The latter cabled the matter to
the London Office Of his company, and
was almost Immediately instructed to
sell. The sale was effected on Thursday
OF this week and Mr.. Read at once took
formal possession Of the Bullwhacker
mine. The consideration for the proper
.y was 5000. and this is generally con-
sidered Q low price for the property, in
asmuch as the ore now being shipped
from that mine is very rich and there is
said to be considerable high-grade lead
ore now in sight.
The Dunderberg Company probably
took into consideration the expense Of 8
prolonged suit and decided that it was
wiser to accept the price offered than to
enter into litigation.
The shipment Of ore that was recently
stopped at the E. & p. depot has been
released and forwarded to the reduction

3 SMELLING WITH CRUDE OIL.
An I'm vention That May Mean Much
for This Camp.

"
The San Jose Herald says that C. r.
Merriam, 9 mine owner Of Kern county,
California, has been investigating 9
blast furnace now in operation at San
Francisco. which is using crude petrole-
um instead Of coke as . fuel for smelt.
ing ores. Mr.. Merriam is convinced
that the new furnace will meet ell re-
quirements and that it will be successful
in the smelling of ell kinds Of ores.
The construction of the furnace is
novel, and is intended to produce the
greatest amount of metal with the least
amount Of fuel, using only one burner
and making q saving of 40 to so per cent
over the use Of coke. on Q San Francisco
basis as TO the price Of the two fuels.
If this system Of smelling proves IS
successful as is anticipated ii may mean
a great deal for the future prosperity of
this camp. The great drawback to the
smelling of ores at this place in late
years has been the difficulty Of obtaining
coke at anything like q reasonable 6g-
ure. At the present time coke at this
| place costs about S26 per ton, and if oil
could be obtained to accomplish the
same purpose at a saving Of 40 or so cent
there is no doubt that large quantities OF
ore which will not now pay q profit oves
shipping charges, could be smelted at
home and leave a handsome margin.
The day is surely coming when the
ores Of this camp will be handled.suc-
cessfully. and it may be that this inven-
tion will shortly be the meaLs Of pro
noting new activity in the mines oil
Eureka and vicinity.
