YORK city, and possible presidential
candidate on the Democratic ticket. is
also extensively interested in mining
properties in that locality,
The holdings of the Rockefellers at
Santa Rita, and the vast interests of the
Hearst estate at Pinos Altos are suffi-
GENTLY known among mining men to es-
tablish the sterling qualities of the min
eral field of Grant county.

Waterbury. representing the Morgan
millions of New York, purchased the
mining properties of the Golden Giant
Mining company located in the Pinos
Altos district.

ing in the Lordsburg district, and Min
eral Point Zinc company at Hanover,
own large mining interests in this
county.
The Southwestern Copper company,
of Boston, own a large group of copper
mines in the Burro Mountain district.
When men and companies of such
keen discernment and business sagacity

it establishes beyond all controversy the
virtue of these mining properties ano
shows beyond question Chat the day Is
not far distant when every camp IN New
Mexico can command unlimited capita
for the operation of its mines.

A JOURNALISTS EXPERIENCE.
New Mexico Sunshine and Air Restored
Him to Good Health,

Charles D. Almy, well-known jour-
nalist and author, Of Chicago, Ill, at
one time publisher of the Chicago Mail
and one of the staff of the Chicago
Tribune, was visit.r in Santa Fe to-
day. Mr.. Almy came to New Mexico
for his health year ago. His physician
told him that he had only two more
weeks to live at the most. Mr.. Almy
went to a Grant county ranch and lived
out of doors as much as possible. Today
he is stout and hearty and no one would
take him for a health-seeker. While at
Silver City the past few weeks he COM
piled and brought out Il special edition
of the Silver City Enterprise that is one
of the best written and best printed
special editions of newspaper ever
published in New Mexico. Mr.. Almy
has written book of Cowboy Stories
and found an eastern publisher for it
He is now on his way to Chicago, but in,
tends to return to New Mexico, as he is
in love with the territory, it's climate
and its people.

PIONEER COMMERCIAL MAN.
He Did Business In New Mexico Twenty
Eight Years Ago.

Frank L. Thayer, of St. Louis, is in
town to day hunting up old time trades
men with whom he used to do business
here ss years ago. In those days he
and five other commercial men travelled
together by stage from Denver, making
trips to Santa Fe, Las Vegas and Albu
querque every six months and selling
for cash, taking the money back with
them, as there were no banks then.
For 80 years he has been correspon-
dent fOrthe Globe Democrat, and while
travelling through Europe in that ca
pacity he saw an opportunity for Amer
lean -four which he laid before the
millers of St. Louis and Minneapolis
with the result that they sent him
abroad to introduce American bread
stuffs. He worked for nine months to
break down the foreign prejudice against
American -four, then he sold In the next
year $50, 900 barrels and created such n
revolution throughout the United King
dom, France and Continental Europe
that the old style mills in those coun
tries were forced to install American
machinery. In all his travel Mr
rhayer says he has ever cherished
warm corner in-his heart for the peOpl,
of sunny New Mexico, and he is de
lighted now to note the advance thi
territory is making along all lines OF
modern progress.

A BRITISH DISASTER
The Beers Succeed In Cutting the
Lines of Communication of
Lord Roberts.
A BATTALION ANIHILATED
The Beers Captured Over Five Hundred
British Soldiers General Methuen
Marches to the Relief Of Gen. COL
Vile schreiner May Resign.

London, June 11.-Lieutenant-Gen
eral Forester Walker, in command of
the lines of communication in South
Africa, reports disaster to the British
troops ON June at Roodeval, where
the Beers cut Lord Roberts line of COM
munication. The men of the 4th bat
TALON of the Derbyshire regiment were
all killed, wounded or made prisoners,
except six enlisted men. Two officers
and is men killed. five officers and 7a
men were wounded, many severely.
The Beers returned the wounded to
the British The officers killed were
Lieutenant Colonel Baird Douglass and
Lieutenant Hawley. The wounded in
clude Colonel Wilkinson and Lieuten-
ant Blanchard, of the Canadian in
fantry.
LANY BRITISH CAPTURED.
1t is inferred that the Beers captured
over 500 men and as late as June 10
held the positions cutting off the British
forces north of Kr0ohstad from rein
forcements. A dispatch from General
Forester Walker says that General
Methuen was fighting within 10 miles
Of Heilbrun on June 6. The news that
the shutting off of Lord Roberts com
munication with the outer world was
accompanied by such serious loss
came like a bolt from compara-
lively clear sky. The Beers appeared
to be in sufficient strength to complete
ly separate all British forces north and
south of the line stretching some so
miles between Roodeval and Heilbrun.
Methuen's march upon the latter place
seems somewhat In the nature of
movement for the relief of Colville
What happened to the troops imme-
diately north of Roodeval is still mat
ter of conjecture.
/, SCHREINER WILL RESIGN.
The ministerialist caucus at Cape
town resulted unfavorably to Premier
Schreiner, only ten supporting him.
Schreiner has given notice of his inten-
tion to resign.
BOERs RETIRE.
London, June 1.-THE following re
port from General Butler was issued by
the war office: "Headquarters in Natal,
June 11.-My force is concentrated on
the Kip river at it's junction with the

Our casualties were six killed and seven
wounded.

WHEAT GOES UP,
1t Is Higher Than at Any Time Since
the Boer War Began.

Chicago, June 1.-The prize of wheat
was today the highest since October
when the Boer war began. The wheat
pit on the board of trade was crowded
with excited traders. Wheat for deliv-
cry to purchases in July today sold at
"A cents, cents higher than at the
close of trading on Saturday. On May
Is, July wheat sold at 664. In the ad.
vance since that date there have been
two factors of greatest Importance.
The first one was the injury Of wheat
in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois
by the Hessian fly. The other is lack of
rain in the northwest.

Great Damage Caused by Floods
and Rains.
RUM0R OF A DISASTROUS TRAIN WRECK
Fright Caused by e Story. Afterward De.
MED, Of q Serious Accident IN
West Virginia.

Hinton, w. Va, Nov. 28.-There
have been various reports tonight about
bridges on the Chesapeake & Ohio be.
ing washed out and trains running into
the liver with all on board lost. There
is nothing in any of these reports. All
of the trains are accounted for, either
at Anderson or White Sulphur Springs.
and the passengers on the delayed
trains are being entertained at the no.
tells in the best manner possible.
While none of the bridges is washed
out, yet the road has suffered much
damage for distance Of about 30 miles
in embankments being washed out and
in landslides, the most serious being
the landslide near one of the Green
Brier bridges. not far from White Sui.
phur Springs. The company will have
construction crews here both from the
coast east and west tomorrow. and it
is expected trains will run through to.
morrow night, as usual. although there
will be transferring during another day.
The railroad is not the only sufferer in
this district. The floods have done
great damage in this city and surround.
ing towns, and to the lumber trade
every where as we'll as to the crops.

Selecting Seed Wheat.

The experiment stations and farmers
who have trained themselves to close
observation Of cause and effect have
given evidence many times that the
amount and quality Of the wheat crop,
and Of other grain crops, depends large
~ upon the quality Of the seed used.
The larger and plumper seed gives the
most vigorous growing plant. 1t stools
out more, usually has sitter straw, II
1t is not forced by the use of too rank
fertilizer, by which we mean one too
rich In nitrogen, and therefore the bet
ter the crop. But there are other things
desirable in good grain crop. One Is
to secure large heads we'll filled, and 1t
may also be desirable to have the grain
grow rapidly and mature early, either
to obtain the best result in short sea-
son, or to escape insect attacks. The
best way to secure this would be to Sc
lect the earliest maturing large heads
to be found and reserve them for seed.
The farmer who sows large areas may
think this too much trouble to get all
the seed he needs but he should remem-
Der that.if there is profit In doing so
for one acre, there would be greater
profit in doing so on hundred. A mod
ification Of this plan is to select in this
way enough to sow a small plot very
thin, SO that each plant will have
chance to do it's best, and then reserve
a piece of the best land to SOW that on
1t to produce seed wheat. A continue
ton Of this process for few years
would result in the production Of an
extra early, hardy and prolific wheat.
Even easier but less effectual would be
the selection of heaviest grain for seed
when winnowing it. We think the first
named plan the best, because the type
Of the entire crop might be fixed in that
way, SO that permanent improvement
would be made.-American Cultivator
