SIERRA MOSCA GRANT
Text of Supreme Court Opinion Re-
jecting ItReceived-- Pronounced
Forgery,
TESTIMONY OF v. M. Upton
A Comparison of Signatures of Governor
Armijo Shows That the Signature to
the Sierra Mosca Grant Documents
Is Forgery,

The officials of the Epited states
court O 1sivafe land claims in this city
have receif, fiS text * the recent
opinion OF TIE supiene ..ourt III the case
of Luis M. Ortiz ct al. VS.. The United
States, involving the Sierra Mosca
grant in the northern part of this coun-
", estimated at $1,000 acres.
The opinion of the court declaring the
grant to be forgery is unanimous. 1t
was delivered by Mr.. Justice White,
who goes at great length into the rea-
sons which led the court to disagree
with the court of private land claims,
which confirmed the grant. In the
course of the opinion the court rejects
as unworthy OF belief the testimony of
the leading witnesses for the claimants,
two of whom testified that they saw
Governor Armijo sign the grant in
June, 1886 just before General kearny
came into Santa Fe. This conclusion Is
based in part upon an inspection of the
document in question in juxtaposition
with number of documents containing
ijo and his secretary, Juan Bautista Vi
gil Alarid, all the original documents
having been sent on to Washington last
October for inspection by the supreme
court.
The supreme court says that COM
parison Of these signatures engenders
in their minds "a very strong conviction
against the genuineness of the grant re-
lied upon" The court goes on further
to lay great stress upon the testimony
of Mr.. w. M. Upton, who, as special
agent and expert for the United States,
testified that the grant was in his judg-
ment forgery, the court speaking of
his testimony as being so clear and so
intelligent as to carry great weight with
it," So the disposition made of this case
by the court is a great compliment to
Mr. Upton, and goes far to sustain the
reputation as an expert in handwriting
by him in the famous Peralta or
Reavis grant trial; the town of Socorro
grant case, tried by the land court last
and a number of other cases
involving forgery questions, in each of
which his attack on the titles presented
has been vindicated
The area covered BY the Sierra Mosca
claim, which. by the decision above re-
ferred to, now becomes public domain,
IS exceedingly rich in timber and min
eral, and 1t Is believed that the decision
will result in the Inauguration of
number of important local enterprises.

ACCIDENT ON DENVER & RIO GRANDE.
Train That Left Santa Fe Yesterday Morn
ing Stopped By Burned Bridge

The passenger train that left Santa Fe
over the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
for the north yesterday morning at II
o'clock was abruptly stopped by burn
ed bridge between Alcalde and Embudo
about so'clock In the afternoon. The
bridge spanned chasm about 16 feet
wide and about the same depth and It's
absence was not discovered in time by
Engineer George Riddle to enable him
to save his locomotive from disaster.
The rest Of the train was not injured.
In jumping from his locomotive to
save himself Engineer Riddle seriously
sprained his back and may be obliged
to lay off for time. The fireman was
more fortunate. He made the jump
from the falling machine without sus-
tanning any injury.
As q result of this accident no train
reached Santa Fe from the north last
night, and, owing to the fact that there
Is no locomotive on this side of the
wreck, no train was dispatched north
this morning. A work train was
promptly sent to the scene from Ala
mosa and without delay the work Of lay.
ing $50 feet of track around the break
was commenced. This morning the
train dispatcher thought that he would
be atle to send q train through to Santa
Fe by or 2 o'clock this afternoon and
then send 1t Immediately back north.
The train dispatcher was right In his
prediction. The train arrived from the
north at o'clock and was sent back an
hour later. Considering the length Of
new track that had to be laid around
the wreck, this was certainly quick
work.
Engineer Riddle was brought to the
city on the delayed train and was i'm.
mediately taken to his home. He is
worse hurt than was first reported and
suffered excruciating pain all night. 1t
appears that In making the jump to
save his life he struck rock and in
jured his spine. The many friends OF
this veteran Denver & Rio Grande en-
gineer sincerely hope that his injuries
will not prove serious,

PROMISING OROQUA DISTRICT.
Systematic Development Work Opens Up
Several Large Bodies Of Ore.

o. F. Perry, who has large mining In
terests in Oroqua district, near Golden,
is visiting his family In Santa Fe. He
and his associates have done great
deal of systematic development work on
their holdings, during the past year, and
are more than gratihed at the substan.
tial results shown. The have opened up
several large bodies of excellent gold
and copper ore, have expended about
$4,000 in developing a plentiful supply
OF water, and now only need adequate
milling facilities on the ground to realize
rich rewards from their labor and In.
vestments. Mr.. Perry is confident that
this need will soon be fully supplied.
Most of the ore Of the district Is free
milling and hence can be more pro6tably
reduced by suitable mills than by smell
ters.

cles shipped from the United States to
Porto Rico. President Mckinley urges
the retention Of the principle of protec-
ton and the establishment of civil gov
ernment.
