SANTA FE CANON MINES.
Many Sunday Visitors to the Claims Now
Being Opened Near the Oity.

More than a score Of citizens who are
more or less interested in reports touch
ing the discovery of pay quartz near
the city went up Santa Fe canon yes
terday to see for themselves what there
is to be seen. Among them were H. B.
Cartwright, F. A. Reynolds, A. A. New
berry and his friend, Lane c. Gillian, of
Spokane, Wash; Manuel Delgado, An
tonic Valdez, T. B. Ward, w. H. H.
Woodward, Leo Hersch, Edward
Haynes, G. D. Jordan, of Red River,
and others. The two last named spent
most of the day with pick and shovel
on a quartz ledge about mile south
east of Monument Rock, and found the
appearance of things sufficiently en-
couraging to justify putting up their
location stakes. A quantity of the rock
was brought down, and while it failed
to pan free gold, Mr.. Jordan thinks
enough Of 1t to send samples to Denver
for an assay test. Messrs. Cartwright
and Ward visited their Miriam location.
where assessment work has been In
progress for the past week on two
claims, and found the prospect in very
satisfactory shape. Nearly all the Wis
itors fingered for a time about the Mon.
tezuma tunnel, and the general idea IL
that the Santa Fe canon region Is going
to be pretty thoroughly prospected this
summer.

LINCOLN COUNTY NAIL SERVICE.
New Bids Have Been Asked For By th'
Government.

The new mail service that was to have
been inaugurated onr May 10 in Lincoln
county is postponed, and the govern
ment has advertised for new bids on the
various stage routes, the time now stat
ed for the beginning of the service be-
ing June 10. The delay Is caused by
the contracts now in force being below
figure that any man can carry the
mail and exist on the income from the
business. At present the contractors
are paid $1,4O0 per year for carrying
mail between White Oaks and Lin
coin. This means daily trip Of forty
seven miles each way, ninety-four
miles day, employing two drivers and
several horses, for the munificent re-
of less than 81 per day! The
bids for the new service were higher
than the above rate. as they should be,
and were all rejected by the postoffice
department as being too high.

TERRIBLE WRECK NEAR LORDSBUR(
A Working Train Is Prscipitated Through
Bridge.

A wreck occurred last Friday be-
tween Lordsburg, Grant county, and
Clifton, Ariz., on the Arizona & New
Mexico railroad, a narrow gauge road.
Engineer Schlottman, Fireman McAtee
and four tramps were killed. Nine car
penters were more or less injured. The
engine and seven cars were demolished.
The wreck occurred across the New
Mexico line in Arizona. A bridge was
burned out a few weeks ago, and was
being repaired by a bridge gang. 1t is
charged that the foreman in charge Of
the bridge gang failed to display proper
signals warning the engineer of the un-
safe condition of the bridge. Another
version fixing responsibility is that the
train was tagged and the engineer then
told to proceed slowly over the bridge
upon which the carpenters were work.
ing.
The engineer followed the advice of
the foreman, and when in the center the
bridge, which was 80 feet high, gave
way and engine and train were precipi-
tated into the depths.
There was an engine ahead and one
behind the train. The engineer of the
locomotive pushing noticed the head
engine, which was on a curve, go
through the bridge, and Immediately
reversed his engine, thus saving the
lives of the train crew and many dol
lars worth Of property for the COM

THE LAND COURT.
It's Last Session Reviewed By Judge W. F.
Stone.

The Denver Republican publishes an
interview with Associate Justice w. F.
Stone, of the court of private land
claims, upon his return to Denver last
week. Judge Stone sums up the work
of the court at it's last session in this
city as follows:
Many small cases were presented to
us, merely of local Importance, affect
ing small bits of land belonging to ma
tive citizens, originally granted to the
claimants by the Mexican or Spanish
governments. The main case and that
of most interest to the citizens of Colo
rado, was the contest over the Conejos
grant, affecting a greater part of the
fertile lands in the San Luis valley from
San Antonio mountain to Del Norte.
"The principal contestant is Crecencio
Valdez, one of a party Of colonists to
whom the land was granted by the
Mexican government in 1888. He brings
the case for them. He makes no claim
to those parts of the grant which have
been homesteaded or sold by the United
States government, but asks only for
rights to the land still unsettled. An
immense mass of testimony was sub
mitted in writing, large part of 1t
Spanish records, which will have to be
translated. The hearing was completed
and all the arguments made, but 1t will
be long time before a decision can be
secured because of the number of the
documents which must be gone through.
"In another suit for title to ground
near Ell Paso, brought by certain resi-
dents, the contest was maintained, the
contestant having lived on the grant,
called Santa Teresa, about 5000 acres,
ever since it was made.
"a case of important local interest in
New Mexico was that in relation to
ground between Santa Fe and Cerrillos.
known as the Jose de Leyba grant This
land includes large copper, silver
and turquois mines. the latter operated
by the Tiffanys of New York. Evidence
was submitted to the effect that the
turquois mines alone produced profit
of nearly 5000, 900 year. The grant was
made in 1928 by the Spanish govern
ment, and the present claimant is M.
F. Sena. The contest awas not MAIN
tanned. The court was in session about
four weeks, and adjourned to meet Au-
gust at the same place. The decision
in the Conejos case probably will be
rendered at that time"
