The PLAQUE.

OF fifty cases of the plague reported
from Honolulu all but two have proved
fatal. The only American who has died,
according to report, was a oma
whose room was invaded by an infected
rat which died there. In Bombay, ac-
cording to Julian Ralph, the story
writer, who visited the afflicted country,
the plague has ragged for four years, and
from 1900 to 1000 persons have died
each week in Bombay alone, yet of the
number only two dozen Europeans have
fallen victims Ito the epidemic. Polluted
water is said to be responsible for most
Of the deaths from the plague. The ma
tives of Bombay take NO precautions to
avoid the disease, and are fatalists, be-
lieving that the plague is sent for the
purpose of limiting the population in
proportion to the food supply.

The director Of the mint recently es-
timated THE gold production of New
Mexico for 1899 at a little over $500, DOC
and the silver ait about the same
amount. OF course, any Well-informed
person knew that the showing was af-
fected by the fact that the bulk of the
mineral produced in this territory is
smelted or treated elsewhere and the re-
turns credited TO other states. The an
nual report of the Wells-Fargo Express
Company gives the following as the
output of New Mexico for the year:
Gold dust and bullion by express, 1853,
S96; same by other conveyances, $414,-
TIC; silver bullion by express, $10O, 1852
ores and base bullion by freight, 81, SAB,
0S4; total. $2,317, 95S.

In Kentucky, Tennessee n several
other states the Louisville & Nashville
Railway Company has had much to do
with political matters and with legisla-
ton. controlling as completely as the
Burlington does in Nebraska at times
and the Southern Pacific in California.
Of course, this is very wicked in the
corporation, but Henry Watte1son and
other Democrats appear not to have
considered that such a course called for
condemnation during the quarter of a
century it has been pursued, until the
influence went to aid Republicans in
stead of Democrats, as has heretofore
been the custom.

SIERRA COUNTY MINES.
The Many Good Properties Of the Black
Range Mountains.
(Hillsboro Advocate.)

(HillSbOrO AQVOcate.)
The different mining sections of Ser
ra county have been developed TO that
extent as to leave 40 question as to
their ultimate great value. There is an
abundance of gold and silver her
awaiting che coming of those who have
the means to bring it to the surface. 1t
is also true that many of these camps
are remote from centers of reduction,
and therefore the necessity of having
some means of handling the lower grade
ores near where they are MINED.
The Black range, looked at from amy
direction, presents a curious aspect,
dark and smoky, whose timber-clad
peaks cut a serrated line on the horizon.
The name BLACK range" is given on
account of the heavy forests of pine and
pinon that grow so thickly all over the
country. This range of mountains ex-
tends in a northerly and southerly d.
rection, and is in length about 120 miles
and about forty miles in width. Water
and game abound there in plenty, and
along the eastern flank of the range a
great belt Of mineral-gold, silver, cop
per, iron and manganese.
The first section showing value is the
great silver producing mines of Lake
Valley. The mines of this section are
Enclosed and almost entirely surrounded
by a lateral strata of quartzite resting
upon dolomite. This Is the location OF
the famous Bridal Chamber. where 49,
900, 900 worth of almost pure silver was
extracted in six months.
North Percha and TERRA Blanca, two
other great silver camps, are located on
this Lake valley belt, some eighteen
miles distant. Gold also has been found
in Fascinating quantities in both these
latter camps.
The great silver camp of Kingston, at
the foot Of the Black range, eight miles
from Hillsboro, has produced 81, 1000. 900
in silver. This camp has experienced
two booms, and will no doubt enjoy a
third with fair silver legislation.
The Black range mineral belt again
shows richly at Hermosa, twenty-seven
miles from Hillsboro, in a great body
of limestone of dolomite character. The

Be 1T enacted by the senate and house

Montana people have done this very
thing with witnesses who are citizens

hardly reached its prime, Free courage
would make it probably one of the most
prosperous mining camps in the west,
From Hermosa camp the mineral belt
can be traced into the Apache mining
district, of which the town of Chloride
is the business center. Here great veins
of mineralized quartz crop above the
inclosing country formations. Along the
eastern contact the greatest amount of
work has been done--comhmencing at
Byers' Run. Here the vein in one place
at the Cliff mine shows a width of more
than s feet. Thence looking along the
vein we find all along evidences Of work
the miner has done, in piles of ore lying
at the mouths of tunnels and shafts.
These ores are rich in silver, and carry
gold enough to make their working
profitable-say from SIS to $40 gold per
ton.
The next camp is the rich Hillsboro
gold district. 1t is located Upon the east
ern contact of the mineral belt of the
range, the formation of he district
where the rich gold ore is found being
porphyry. The veins are true
The Bonanza mine alone in this district
paid dividends amounting to about
$3.50, 900. Hillsboro also has large and
very rich gold placers, which are at last
about to be made to give up their vast
treasures to the Mesa del Orc company.
Hillsboro is the Oldest camp in Sierra
county, and has produced altogether
about S 1000, 900 in gold.
The midnight mine has been worked
to some depth, sufficient to prove it's
great value. The Colossal mine is an
other of equal worth.
On the northern slope of Hagan's peak
is located an important group of claims
the st. Cloud, Atlanta, United States
Treasury and White Eagle. On the
Treasury a shaft entirely in ore opens
the vein to a depth of 140 feet, show
ing on the 100-foot level an ore body
more than "a feet wide, running high in
silver and $40 in gold.
Crossing the belt we come to the Sill
| YER Monument mine, which has been
| sunk to a depth of 400 feet, in bornite
| ores, rich in silver, with a little gold.
A group of claims are now being
| worked on Mineral Greek near the town
of Chloride, and a small stamp mill OPP
Grating. Two other claims of this dis
trict are worth mentioning-the Read
juster and Nordha usen, both containing
good ore.
In the Grafton mining district, next
on the Black range is the amous a
hoe gold mine. Development work con-
sists of a 250-foot tunnel or the vein.
The first-class ore of this property
yields II ounces gold per ton.
The Ivanlloe vein enters THE Emporia
claim, upon which $50 feet of work has
been done in ore. Shipment returns of
Emporia ore show 10 unce gold per
ton.
THE next place along this vein which
has been prospected sufficiently to a
rant an estimation of value is at Camp
Kingsbury, three miles north of the
Emporia mine, ait which camp is located
the Great Republic group of mines. Ore
worth 81 per pound i'm gold has been
mined here in places, and general ship
ments from the whole group have paid

also made that the senators and repre-

Mexico cannot have a say. Here Is
where statehood would stand as a de-

Tennessee has had experience with
the counting out of a Republican gov
ernor by a Legislature, only there it
happened that the defeated Democrat
was holding the office when the legisla-

consider the contest, and approved the
act to make it possible for the legisla-
tive body to go behind the returns and
count in the Democrat.
