another railroad In the near future. 1t
Is to be called the Hagerman road, and
will extend from Roswell on the Pecos
Valley railroad, by way of Turquois City
and across the Organ mountains to Las
Cruces, distance of about 225 miles.

Hagerman to extend the line into the
interior of the republic of Mexico with
a view to affording new outlet for the
mineral wealth Of that resourceful coun-

Bland, N. NJ, March 2l.-Lucius l..
Wightman, assistant electrician for the
Cochiti Gold Mining Company, rests his
force of electric wire stringers tonight
at point in Cola canon, two miles be-
low the Albemarle mill Three No. 4
copper wires for power purposes and
and In very few days more the elec-
tricians will. be m; Ling connections
with the powerful machinery now prac-
tically all in place at the mill. At Mad
start the. fires in the 800 horsepower
plant to-day for trial run. The pump
ing station at Cerrillos will be the first
piece of machinery to be set in motion
by the current from these works at
Madrid. The pump house is receiving
its finishing touches. The well in the
Galisteo river is 450 feet deep and pro-
vides plenty of water. A Gould pump Is
to tanks, whence it is taken up by two
force pumps and conveyed through u
finch pipe to the power plant These
three pumps are operated by electricity
conveyed from Madrid to Cerrillos over
a branch power line three miles in
length. The last of the machinery for
the converters and the motors was
hauled up Cola canon from Thornton
to-day.
THE w. J. 3. NINE.
The w. j. B. mine. in which Santa
Feans are Interested, along with
George Buck and others of Bland, has
cut the big vein Is feet from the surface
and a high class ore is being piled on
the dump. The strike was made in
tunnel run in from Cola canon to
depth of f35 feet
THE UNION MINE CLOSES DOWN.
Supt. M. J. Church. of the Union mine,
telegraphed to-day from Milwaukee di-
rectlng that the mine be closed down
for the time being. For the croakers
and backcappers In the camp this was
Joyful news, and they are making the
most of it, but others who are in posi-
ton to know something of which they
talk regard 1t as natural step, since
Superintendent Church must be absent
in the east for some time pending the
purchase of a new MILL and, probably,
cable tramway.
THE STAR MILL.
The Star mill scraped Its plates and
went through general cleaning up
yesterday. Two gold bricks containing
a small fortune go out to Boston by to-
days express. The mill is now to be
utilized for few days in making leach
ing tests, some of them to be conducted
along lines original with Superintend-
ent Clark. 1t Is said that SO per cent of
the gold values in the Star ore can now
be saved, but experiments are making
whereby it is hoped to run this saving
up to 81 per centt-as high as 9S per cent
have been saved at the Albemarle mill
because or per cent lost or saved In
every ton Of ore handled in a 350-ton
mill means great deal Of money In the
course of year.
THE VICTOR AND T. s. K.
Ten men went to work yesterday on
the Victor and T. S. K. mines. Devel-
opment work will continue for the next
two months at least.

The Republicans Of the second ward
are seriously talking Of nominating

The suggestion of Gen. E. L. Bartlett

the approval of all Republicans and

However, | got 50 excited | forgot ev.
erything, Half way across the open
was a fence. and getting over there
some poor fellows were shot. At last
we got to the fence. Several Dubllns
had been wounded. They then moved,
while we took a rest.
Bullets here kept coming sideways
from the second hill. Then we moved
again and came right through the
wood. In the wood there were plenty
of bitches, and at the end of the wood
there was a wall. We lay there to get
breath. Poor Humbro was shot
through the jaw, but would take no
notice. Then came the bad part There
was bramblc edge on the top Of the
wall, so one could not go over, but
there was gateway, and through
this we all had to go, and it was
hot time; but there were some beauti-
full rocks about 80 yards off, so not
much damage was done.
when we got uhder the walls some
heavy firing took place, lasting nearly
two hours. had several shots with
the mems rifles. Then we crossed the
road to take the hill; that was the
worst place. Nugent, who went over
with me was shot in the leg When |
got half way up the hill I found my.
self next to Hambro, who had been
wounded twice; we lay down under
the rocks. as the firing was very
heavy. We saw lots of men shot as
they crossed the wall. Hambro and |
had to retire.

the Buckeye state, and 1t WAS there
the doctor added $500OO to his bank
account. Big wells had been drilled in
about ten miles from where the doctor
lived, but the oil belt was thought to
lead in another direction from the
lucky physician. However. one man
had faith but not the money to drill

offers. but no one would back him. AZ
ter months work he managed to
borrow enough money to secure the
tools, engines, covering, etc, but he
needed 800 to put up the derrick.
