Pennsylvania and Kansas
CAPITAL.
A BRANCH RAILROAD TO Be BUILT

This time it is in Valencia county for
the development Of mining and timber
properties. A company to be known as
the Zuni Mountain Copper Company
will be incorporated shortly, it having
already been organizer. The capital
stock of the comt my shounts to $780,
00t, gut tllere is no stock for sale as all
of it has been subscribed already. The
company has acquired some very val
liable copper mining locations and
claims in the Zuni mountains in west
ern Valencia county, IL miles south of
Bluewater station on the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad. The officers of the
company will be Jerry A Black, gener-
al passenger agent of the Atchison, To-
peka e. Santa Fe railroad, president;
Edwin H. Oil of New Castle, Pa, vice
president; Charles L. Seagraves, secre-
tary; and II, M. Walt of Newton, Kas.,
treasurer. 1t is a close corporation and
is not organized for the purpose of SELL
ing stock, but for the purpose of max
ing the capital that has been put into
the company give good returns. The
company has also negotiated for the
lease or purchase of some valuable and
extensive timber lands in the vicinity
of these copper claims and proposes to
lay out a new town on a fine tract of
land secured for townsite to be named
Copperton. 1t is also proposed to run a
railway line from Bluewater to Copper
ton, a distance of 12 miles from Blue
water station, and work on this branch
line is to commence as soon as the sur
veys for it are completed. 1t has long
been known that rich copper deposits
pecially in the vicinity Of the proposed
new town of Copperton. These will be
developed and worked systematically
by this company. The timber in that
section is very fine and in great abun-
dance and this will be used first for
mining purposes and for the construc-
tion of the branch road and the chances
are that saw mill will be located there
to put the lumber into commercial
shape and for shipment. Mr.. Black Is
well known throughout New Mexico,
where he has many friends, and every
man connected with the company is a
man of business ability, energetic and
progressive. Such enterprises are great
ly desired in New Mexico, and it is
very gratifying to know that they are
coming in very rapidly. and especially
SO during the past six months. "A dozen
or more of these have been organized
and commenced work in the territory

MAJOR LLEWELLYN'S RECORD.
He Is Being Commended by the Law
Abiding People.

Special to the New Mexican.
Silver City, N. NJ, May IS, 19o1.-,The
record made by District Attorney W. II.
Fl Llewellyn during the past few"weeks
at the terms of court in Dona Ana and
Grant counties, has been very pleasing
to the law abiding people of those coun-
ties. He secured three convictions of
murder in the first degree, viz: Torlbio
Huertas, who was hanged April 26, An
dres Gales and Jose Sanchez who are to
be hanged June 7. He has also secured
several indictments for murder in the
second degree and for lesser offenses and
has been very successful in getting con-
victions. Many of these cases he tried
against the best legal talent in southern
New Mexico for the defense.
Major Llewellyn has made himself
very popular with the bar, even with
members who are opposed to him and he
is well liked. He studies his cases
thoroughly and has them well in hand
upon trial. This is admitted by all and
when, in his own language. he comes
before the jury with clean hands and
pure motives, the jury listens to him
with respect. 1t is being proved right
along that the consolidation of the dis
trict attorneys districts in the third
judicial district was good thing and
that Governor Otero did the right thing
in appointing Major Llewellyn to be dis
trict attorney for the five counties of
Dona Ana, Grant, Sierra, Luna and
Otero.

jury that Investigated the murder of
James s. Ayers, a census Office clerk
returned verdict this afternoon that
Ayers was killed during a conflict be-

THE STORY OF THE MURDER.
Washington, May 21.-The mystery
attending the killing Of James Seymour
Ayres, census Office clerk in the Ken
more hotel early last Wednesday morn
ing, was solved by the voluntary con-
fession from Mrs. Lulu Bonine, mar
that the three shots which ended Ayres'
life had been fired in struggle be-
tween herself and Ayres.
Mrs. Bonine, whose husband is a
drummer for the wholesale drug house
of Dewitt & Co., of Chicago, explained
her presence in Ayres' room at 2 o'clock
in the morning by saying he had come
to her room complaining of a chill and
asking for medicine, and had induced
her to follow him to his room to talk
over some matters of difference there
had been between them.
She said she dressed herself in a
wrapper and went to his room. He had
preceded her, and when she opened the
door and walked in he quickly closed it
and informed her that he had enticed
her to his room for his own purposes,
and said if she did not submit to his
wishes he would kill her. Ayres, she
said, was undressed and had revolver
in his hand, and in the struggle for it's
possession, which ensued Immediately
after she. entered, it was discharged
three times, the shots striking Ayres at
each discharge, theflast one proving
fatal. ift q
After her statement, which was made
to the chief of police and number of
officials, Mrs. Bonine was placed under
arrest and taken to the house of deten-
tion.

FIVE CADETS DISMISSED.
Six West Point Cadets Are Suspended for a
Time.

Washington, May 21.-Secretary Root
approved the action of the board of Off
GERS at West Point which recommended
the dismissal of five cadets and the
suspension of six others. This sustains
the course of Colonel Mills and other
officers in the recent disturbances at
the academy.
The names of the cadets dismissed
and suspended will be announced to-
morrow.
COLONEL MILLS AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, May 21.-Colonel Mills,
superintendent of the military acade-
my, had q long consultation with the
secretary of war today relative to the
recent disorders among the cadets at
West Point. The papers in the cases
of the cadets tried for offenses against
the authorities have been in the depart
ment some time. Superintendent Mills
explained the conditions at the acade-
my, insisting that many of the publish
ed reports are exaggerated. The pres
ent difficulty grows out of an attempt
to suppress hazing, and the restrictions
that have been made in this direction
since Colonel Mills became superinten-
dent. The superintendent spoke in the
highest terms of the cadets and thought
it was only a question of a short time
before the customary conditions would
be resumed. The matter of discipline
was in question and that must be MAIN
tanned. The secretary of war was much
interested in the statement of Colonel
Mills. General Davis, the next. judge
advocate of the army who recently has
been stationed at West Point was pres
ent during the greater portion of the
interview. The papers in the cases re-
Gently tried are to be considered and
passed upon by General Davis.
