effect that beer can be obtained on
board for cents She spends twenty
four hours at a place and then moves

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. QUINN.
She Succumbed to an Attack Of Heart Dis
ease Last Evening,

WV ANS "VShAh
Mrs. Jennie Quinn, wife of Jeremiah
Quinn, of this city, died suddenly yes
terday evening at her residence. When
her husband returned home at $50
o'clock he found the dead body of his
wife in the home to which he had come
expecting her to welcome him. He i'm
mediately summoned the neighbors and
a physician, but she was past human
aid and the physician found that she
had died a natural death from heart
disease. Mrs. Quinn was born in Pitts
burg, Pa, in 1861, and was formerly
Miss Jennie Gallagher. Her father and
brothers served in the Union army dur
ing the civil war, and her husband
served for 80 years in the United States
army and is now retired. Mrs. Quinn
was aver the soldiers friend and none
will more regret the news of her sudden
death than the veteran comrades of her
husband, father and brothers. Besides
her husband, a brother, now residing in
Pittsburg, survives to mourn her loss.
He has been. notified of her death and
unless wordf IS received from him today
she will be buried in Rosario cemetery

of Undertaken s. e. Warner. Members
of Carleton post, G. A. R., are requested

WASHOUTS REPAIRED.
The Santa Fe Railroad Company Deserves
Great Credit.

Ex-Governor l.. B. Prince returned
yesterday afternoon from Albuquerque
and in speaking of the washouts on the
Santa Fe, which he was obliged to pass
twice, he said: 1.-The railroad company
really deserves infinite credit for having
made the necessary repairs so quickly
as to have the trains running III both
directions so soon. When II sees the
total destruction made by the water
between the two long bridges over the
Galisteo river, the whole iron structure
of which was swept away by the flood
it would seem almost impossible within
a short time to have built even tenn
porary structures of sufficient strength
TO carry the heavy trains of the Santa
Fe. The second washout which &C.
Cured Wednesday night and which was
expected to delay the passenger trains
until noon today was, by the prompt
and efficient action of Superintendent
Hurley, repaired so that there was only
a delay of one hour at Thornton for the
train from California.

AN IMPORTANT LIME CONTRACT.
Santa Fe Parties Will Furnish Lime to the
Alhemarle Mill.

AlD6I1arle MILL,
Rev. G. s. Madden, of Bland, is in the
capital on a business trip. He brings
the news that the Albemarle mill has
closed a contract for $500 tons of lime a
month from the lime quarry northeast
of Santa Fe, about two miles. -Four
4-horSe teams and two 2-horse teams will
be kept busy hauling the lime. Several
new limekilns will be erected and quite
a number of men will be given employ
ment. This is a triumph for Santa Fe
lime, as the contract was given only
after a thorough test which proved that
Santa Fe lime is superior for use in the
cyaniding process to the lime found
nearer to Bland and which could be
delivered cheaper at Albemarle.
There is plenty of water now in the
Cochiti district and the drouth is broken.
The water will be plentiful until the
snow begins to fly, which assures re-
newed activity. In Mr.. Madden's opin-
ion the day is not far off when water
from the Rio Grande will be pumped up
to Bland for mill purposes.
On the Star mine work has been re-
sumed with a full force of men and de-
velopment work is being pushed. There
are unmistakable indications that the
Star mill and tramway will be built soon.
The Cochiti Reduction works at Allerton
are also to be rebuilt. Taken altogether
Bland has an era OF prosperity before it.
