A Picturesque Description of a Trip to Qua.
dalupe County In 1861.

| (From the Santa Fe Gazette, May "a,
1s51)
I'VE accompanied Governor Calhoun
| and Colonel Munroe in their late visit
to Anton Chico, where they expected to
meet the Apaches, who were under
promise to be there on the 18th inst, to
| receive the supplies ordered for their
relief. Lieutenant Chapman and dra-
goons were there, and received his ex-
cellency in military fashion, but the In
dians had not arrived, nor could any
clew be had to their whereabouts. Some
Comanches had been there the day be-
fore, but being told by Mexican that
the soldiers intended to kill them and
the Apaches together, they mounted
and fled toward Bosque Redondo, where
it is said several bands are encamped.
1.-The Indians have wants which their
woodlands and mesas cannot supply,
and as they pay we'll for ammunition
and firearms, it is not unlikely that an
understanding exists between them and
the people of Anto Chico. We We're told
there that the rowing bands frequently
visit the town, that the inhabitants like
them very much, and that many dam
sells of the valley had gone away with
them. We could scarcely believe this
of the fair senoritas, but there is tide
in the affairs of woman" and it may
have carried them to the lodges of the
redskins
''In descending the Pecos valley we
saw much to attract us, everywhere our
chiefs We're regarded with interest, and
the people came forth to utter welcom-
ings. From La Cuesta, which is seated
on an eminence, we had a fine view of
the river as it winds through fruitful
fields and flowery bottomland on it's
way south. The stream is limpid and
admirably adapted for milling purposes
and the valley through which it flows
was in fuller bloom and far more lovely
than we had expected to find it. But
Puertacita pleased us most. 1t is wildly
beautiful, and the greenest spot we have
seen in New Mexico. There is a pecul-
y,
esty in the huge rocks that wall it in, a
something so sheltering, so inspiring in
its whole aspect, that we could have
pitched our tent and worshiped Deity
in spirit there. Our distinguished
friends having concluded to spend the
Sabbath at Las Vegas, we bathed our
limbs in the warm springs near that
village. Returning to Santa Fe, we
reached our sanctum in time to hear
that our devil was on strike that the
Rio Chiqueto had riz and that Smith
had beaten Alvarez by an overwhelm-
ing majority"
The same number tells of the whole
sale election frauds practiced by the
Democrats and the Wings. While San
ia Fe county had only about 1923 voters,
1s42 votes were polled at the election
for the legislature. The same issue also
gives partial election returns from San
ta Fe. San Miguel, Santa Ana and Ber-
naliIlO counties

Big Land Deal,

Chicago, April ga syndicate of Chi
cago capitalists has offered to buy 14O, =
900 acres of land in Lincoln county, Ne
braska, from the Union Pacific railroad
The land extends on either side of the
railroad from Gothenburg, Neb., to
North Platte. The land Is all alternate
sections, and the intervening sections
must be bought to make the land avail
able as one tract. But a small portion
of the intervening tracts are settled,
however, most of them being govern
ment land. This country is principally
canon lands, with rich SOIL but so badly
broken as to make farming well-nigh
impracticable, hence it is best adapted
for grazing,

The Wool Outlook.

Boston, April 5.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says today:
The wool market continues dull.
Some houses report little more looking
around on the part of consumers, but
there is no improvement to be noted in
the actual demand and where wool is
sold to any extent, tits generally at
concessions. Manufacturers as o class
are in need of wool. Nothing but fa-
yorable reports are received from the
goods market and If the present demand
keeps up most of the trade is hopeful OF
good business in the wool market before
long. Some of the more impatient ones
sold, however, after waiting three
months for active business by letting
their wool go at concessions.

COAL DISCOVERIES
A New Vein Has Been Opened at
the Old Abe Coal Mine.
PUSHING DEVELOPMENT
Two Other Large Veins Believed to Exist
The Coal is a Good Quality for Do
mestic and Blacksmithing
Purposes.

A new vein Of coal has been opened
the Old Abe coal mine near White Oaks.
1t is feet thick and perfectly clean.
The vein is Of the same excellent quail
ty as the opening where coal is now be-
ing taken out, and is about 60 feet be-
low it. There are three other groupings
on the company's property which will be
opened in the next few days. One below
the latest discovery and the other above
the original opening or present shaft.
F. 1. Marsh, the superintendent of the
work at the coal mine, has had the the
ory of the formation figured out for
some time, but has had no time to pros
pect for other veins until within the
Lac. few days. He believes that there
are four veins, one lying under the 9TH
er on this property. Two of them are
now opened, and thus far he has proved
his theory to be correct.
THE THIRD OPENING.
Work was started last week on the
third opening, and the prospects are
that 1t will prove equally as good if not
work is finished the men will be put to
work on a cropping about so feet above
the original shaft, where the company
expects to cut the same vein of coal on
which the opening was made on the
Parker mine. The indications are that
this opening will show harder coal
than any previous discoveries on the
If it should prove to be con-
tinuation of the vein from the Parker
mine it will be semi i-anthracite coal,
with possibly slight decrease in steam
power, but an excellent coal for domes-
tic uses.
AGOOD COAL NINE.
No matter what the outcome of the
present development work will be, the
Old Abe coal mine has feet of as good
coal as can be found in the west, and
the best blacksmithing coal west of the
Mississippi The property supplies
White Oaks with cheaper coal than can
be shipped there from anywhere else. 1t
is now one-half cheaper for fuel than
wood, and as a steam and blacksmith
coal it is in great demand. 1t will SOON
er or later be the means of bringing
other industries to White Oaks and vi
cinity, for in these days Of close COM
petition factories must move sooner or
later near to their fuel and raw mate
rial supply.

The Coal Miners Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 5.-The coal min
ers' strike is breaking up. There was a
light increase in coal shipments from
the mines, indicating that few more
miners had returned to work. The min
ers' officials are working hard to induce
the strikers to 60 back to work and
comply with the terms of the Indianap-
oils agreement. The dissatisfaction is
so widespread, however, that general
convention Is likely to be called for
next week, and the strike will either be
declared officially on or off. As 1t Is now
the strike is unauthorized, and Is sim
ply elimination Of local trouble over
the run of the mine standard and the
day mems scale.
