Mt. Washington Lend-a-Hand Club
On Monday afternoon last the Lend-a- Hand
Club celebrated its anniversary at the Mount
Washington Casino. The date for the annual
entertainment is Rose Day, June 9Th, but it
was held earlier this year as many members OF
Of the General Federation of Womens Clubs,
which will be held in Milwaukee, Wis, early
in June. Fragrant spring flowers were used
in identifying the Casino, and the gathering
was most pleasant one. The Casino Chapter
was the guest of honor and presented the cup
tatiyes present from the other leading women's
clubs in the city, among them being Miss Ellen
| Dnysll, of the Woman's Literary Club, who
read charming little story. Mrs. John T.
| Graham presided at the meeting which was

A new PLACER MIN
ING DISTRICT OPENED.

In the vicinity of Schelerville is
a new discovery of placer ground
that is attracting great deal OF
attention. The discovery was
made only a few weeks ago, and
Investigation has proceeded so far
that rich grounds, covering an
extensive area are known to exist
in that locality. A number of
locations have been made and
prospect work has we'll begun.
w. A. McIvers and S. S. Doak,
of Webster City, Iowa, are among
the number interested in these
locations, and presumably have
secured good grounds, as nothing
was known of the district before
their discoveries.
The American Placer Company,
so the EAGLE has been Informed,
is negotiating for interests, and
in case they secure possessions in
the district, they will have little
trouble in getting sufficient water
for hydraulic machinery. This
new industry for Schelerville add
ed to the development of the Iowa
and New Mexico Mining G. Mill
ing Company's copper properties
will certainly make the Scheler-
vile camp a humming district,
and give great impetus to the
mining industry of Lincoln coun-
ty in the future. With the open
ing of Spring the new camp
will be sufficiently advertised to
induce others, now not interested,
to come in for investigation, and
will result in more capital being
invested, not only in that vicinity,
but elsewhere in Lincoln county.

GOING AFTER THE UNKNOWN.

At Elizabethtown, Taos coun-
ty, is being undertaken an inn
menSe tunnel to undermine Baldy
mountain. The tunnel is to pene-
trate the mountain 5000 feet, at
which distance 800 feet Of depth
will have been attained. The
tunnel will open up hillside that
is well marked with Groupings.
The EAGLE would like to see
similar process applied to Bax-
ter mountain in this camp, where
not only mineral groupings are in
evidence, but producing mines
are in operation.

A NEW STATE TO BE COINED.

The question of "A new state,
takirg in portions of New Mexico,
Texas and the state of Chihuahua,
Mexico, with Ell Paso as the cap
ital city, is again being talked by
the fighters of column space in
various newspapers.
The proposed territory which
is to form the new state is more
accurately described as follows:
The counties of Otero, Dona Ana,
Lincoln, Eddy and Chaves; in
New Mexico; that part of Texas
west of an extension south of the
eastern boundary line of New
Mexico, and a purchase from Mex
leo which would include a small
strip of northern Chihuahua in
cluded within the Gadsden pur-
chase to the Rio Grande river.
The original scheme on the part
of Ell PaSoans fell through, but
now that the republicans have
been retained in power, the idea
has been revived and the hope is
entertained that the state will be
coined and come in on the 1901
tidal wave of expansion.

the Sierra Blancas, or White
Mountain range, and is about
five miles from Carrizozo station
on the Ell Paso & Northeastern
railroad. 1t is about II to Is
miles from Nogal, and nearly the
same distance from White Oaks.
The original discoveries were
made by Messrs. Fred w. and
Forest Smith and w. A. McIverS,
each of whom are stockholders
in the Iowa and New Mexico Min
ing & Milling Co., now develop
ing the corporations properties,
w. A. McIvers being the general
manager and Forest Smith the
foreman of the work.
Schclerville is now merging
from a prospector's camp into an
inhabited mining town, contain
ing hotels and supply stores, and
evidences of healthy growth such
as is seen in older camps III the
Rocky mountain country, and is
giving steady employment to a
considerable force of miners and
workmen.
Through the kindness of w. A.
McIvers, general manager, the
EAGLE has obtained the following
detailed information concerning
the mineral deposits of the Schel-
crville district, as well as some
thing about the organization,
plans and intentions of his com
pany, and its operations in devel-
oping its properties.
This company is organized
under the laws of New Mexico
with capital of one million dol
lars (S1, 900, 900 .OO), divided into
shares of one dollar (S1 .0O) each,
at the par value of one dollar
(S1. .00) per share. The stock is
worcestershire.
The property of the company
consists Of fourteen mining claims,
as follows, the GrubStake, Column
bia, Katy Flyer, Badger, Snarty,
Butcher Boy, Tenderfoot, North
Star, Smarty No. ?, Junction,
Gray Horse, Matte, Turtle Dove
and Homcstakc, located in the low
er mountains of the Sierra Blan-
ca in New Mexico. Each claim
is six hundred feet wide and ff-
teen hundred feet long.
The country is rich in mineral
products, and developments which
have been made in the past two
or three years have proven that
these mountains contain rich min
erals, to-wit: gold, silver, copper
and lead.
The indications are that the
lower mountains were part of
the higher range at one time.
There is cropping out on surface
in every crevice not only on lead
but off dyke. Where there is an
opening copper ore appears. Some
Of the leads run over the noun
tains and down sides and through
gulch; gangue of vein is whitish
or yellowish white tale about one

Os~N
All leads widen rapidly with
depth from 8 inches on surface to
about 5 feet at depth of 50 feet.
Walls are we'll defined and slant
several feet in 50 feet or about Is
degrees.
The country in general con-
tains many large porphyry dykes
assaying we'll in copper. The
rock formation is principally
granite and lime with considera-
bic birds-cye porphyry.
The ore found is hydrated car
Donate predominant, has sulphide
and oxide, peacock copper, bro
mide copper, bromide silver, lead,
and trace of gold.
AS will be seen, this company
owns IA mines. Some of these
mines are now being operated,
sinking shafts, drifting and clear
ing. Ore is found in paying
quantities.
An assay of the surface ore
made by the Consolidated Kansas
City Smelling and refining Com
pany shows:
Copper. ..........3 3 per cent.
Silver. -. IA ozs. per ton.
Result of assay at depth of IS
feet shows:
Copper IL per cent.
Silver. II ozs. per ton.
An assay made from 3 samples
of ore, made by Floyd Davis,
E. NJ, Ph. D., Des Moines, shows
the following results:
Copper ... .1O.S1 per cent.
Silver .... .8.4 ozs. per ton.
Sample from vein running into
HomeStake;
Copper. 20 per cent.
Silver r......2 ozs. per ton.
Lead has also been found in
some of the mines in large guam
titles.
The prospects of the Iowa and
New Mexico Mining and Milling
Company with its fourteen mines
are very flattering. The COM
pany is now sinking shafts i'll two
of the claims, and then by drift
ing reach the large body of ore.
The property is so situated that
several leads can be worked by
means of these two shafts, thus
reducing the expense and facilita-
ting the work. The width and
value of the ore in the Homestake
lead at or near the surface makes
it certain that when the tiSsure
vein is opened to a depth of one
fourth of the average depth of
the copper mines quoted it will
be one of the richest mines.
The mines are about five miles
from Carrizozo, Il station on
the FL Paso and North Eastern
railroad. There is gradual
slope from the base of the noun
tain to the station, making the
hauling of ore quite an easy mat
ter. Wood and fuel is plentiful
on the mountains and surround
ing country, and can be obtained

( EDITOR RECORD,
Dear Sir Il have Just learned that q
rumor Is being circulated throughout

1t Is not true, am and have been a

1elt that with my past record Of loyalty

taxation as did during the last session.
Whether in or out of the legislature |
shall never cease fighting for the cause
of the masses. And this can never be
accomplished until every dollar is placed
and kept upon the tax roll. The man
with one hundred thousand dollars
should pay one hundred times more tax
than the man with one thousand dollars
Equal taxation is just taxation. Just
taxation Is equal taxation, and no person
or party can possibly receive wrong or
INJURY by being just to all am, as nv
past record will show, most emphaticly
III favor of repeating all special railroad
characters and placing them all upon
one common footing. Those who have
watched my record must give me credit
for keeping nearly one million dollars
from being forced upon the tax rolls of
the state by defeating the Spanish war
scheme which called for an appropriation
OF seven hundred and eighty four thous.
and dollars, and the West Publishing

port on. the passing of the Hessian fly.

Michigan Farmers Institutes.

Aug IL, 1900.
Dear Sir In the matter Of fall wheat
have to report progress. The Hessian
lily promises TO get fair start this fall
although the parasites are reported by
Prof. Petit as becoming common.
THESE parasites are small flies which Law
eggs III the flax seed stage of the Hessan
lily. We are not prepared TO make any
prophecy as to how greatly they will
hold their enemy in check next season,
with the intelligent aid of wheat grow.
ers, though, they will be able TO make a
good crop possible next year
/. Plow the ground as early as pos.
sible, keeping down volunteer wheat
and getting ready good seed bed.

Plow this strip under when about ready
to sow, doing the job thoroughly.
3. Sow little later than common.
say not far from Sept. 20 in this latitude.
depending somewhat upon weather
conditions.
4. Use little fertilizer of the com.
mercial class to give the wheat good
strong start.
.. Get all the farmers in given com. |
munlty to adopt this method as no
matter how successful a given farmer
may be in getting rid Of the fly in the
fall, If his neigebors do not aid in the
work, he will have the fly in his wheat
in the spring.
d. Advice against sowing rye for IF
least three reasons:
Rye is attacked by fly as well as
wheat
Rye, once in soil, is hard TO eradicate
and Will injure succeeding wheat crops
seriously.
Rye, brings a price less than wheat
'nd the average yield in the state is less
nan that of wheat
5. Farmers should SOW their usual
4creaRe of wheat this fall:
Because the prices next year will run
ugh beyond ali reasonable doubt.
Because the fly will probably not be
S bad again for several years, although
his wllldepend somewhat upon intel. |

Because the rotation generally adopted
