AN ATLANTIC
STEAMSHIP TRUST
J. P. Morgan Has Practically Consummated
the Plan Of Consolidating All the Leading
Steamship Lines That Cross The
/. Big Pond.
IT is A TRIUMPH FOR HIM
As WELL AS FOR THE UNITED STATES

New York, April 19.-J. P. Morgan,
who is now abroad, practically con-
summated a plan to combine all the
leading transatlantic steamship lines.
London dispatches to the Associated
Press announcing the combination
We're today confirmed at the Morgan
banking house. 1t is yet too early to
give the exact scope of the scheme, but
as now outlined there will be an Amer
lean holding company, into which all
steamship companies, which propose to
enter the combine, will put their stock
holdings--pool their issues--in exactly
the same way that the various concerns
embraced in the United States Steel
Corporation threw in their holdings,
receiving in return stock in the main
or parent company. Just what the cap
italization of the company will be is
not yet known, but the amount will be
we'll in excess of $3.50, 100000. George w.
Perkins of J. P. Morgan and Company,
is authority for the statement that
American interests, will dominate the
proposed amalgamation and declares
the result will prove not only a great
triumph for Mr.. Morgan, but will make
the United States the real rulers of the
merchant marine of the world

lice Whitman officially announced to-
day that the murderer of Nora Fuller

countant in the business office of the
Examiner. On January 16, the disap-
pearance of Nora Fuller was announc-
ed and c. B. Hadley disappeared and
has not been seen since. Theodore
Kylka, a handwriting expert, declares
that the man who wrote the name
Chas. B. Hawkins to the advertisement
Turing Nora Fuller to her death was
G. b. Hadley. He compared the hand
writings and declares they are identi
cal. So hurriedly had Hadley left his
lodgings and fled that he did not even
go to the bank to draw his money a
considerable sum of which he had on
deposit. Nora Fuller, a 16-year-old
girl, left her home on January 16. in
answer to an advertisement for a nurse
girl. No trace of her was found until
month later, when her nude body
was found in vacant house on Suffer
street The girl had been murdered.

FAYETrE A. JONES
Director of School OF Mines
=; - = -
FAYETTE A. JONES

I party narrowly escaped death at the
hands of the Apache Indian, "The
Kid In September, 1S93 he was chief
of party surveying a line of railway
from Maxwell City, New Mexico west
ward up the Cimarron canon to Eliza
bethtown over the Taos pass to Taos
and thence to the Rio Grande. IFhe
financial crash of 1893 put an end to
this project. In the following years,
1S94-95, he accepted a position as chief
Of engineers ON an expedition across
the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, remaining
on the isthmus about one year. On re-
turning, he was appointed United
States assayer for the port Of Kansas
Of the Consolidated Kansas City Smelt-
ing and Refining Company. Shortly
after receiving the apt,oirtment as
United States assayer he was also ap-
pointed chemist of the Geological Sur
vey Of Missouri, this was in the spring
of 1896 In June, 1897, he accepted the
position as director of the New Mexico
School of Mines, assuming the duties
of that responsible position August 1,
1885, the day of his birth.
In addition to his school work, Pro-
fessor Jones accepted the appointment
of field assistant of the United States
Geological Survey. His duties consist
in collecting the statistics of the pre-
cious metals produced in the territory.
Professor Jones has held various po-
stions of honor and trust and is a
member of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers, associate member Of
the American Meteorological Society
of Washington and of several other
scientific organizations. His life has
been one of much activity, hardship
and toll. He contemplates spending
his summer vacation in the field with
the geological survey corps Of the Le-
land Stamford University. From this
latter place he expects to visit the Ha-
waiian Islands to make some special
observations in dynamical geology.
Professor Jones is a self made man
in the true American meaning of the
word. He has done pioneer work for
New Mexico and the territory's mining
industry owes a greater debt of graft
tude to him, than which has been ex-
pressed as yet. Under his administra-
ton, the New Mexico School Of Mines
has become real factor in the mineral
development of the territory. A high
grade of scientific attainment and
scholarship coupled with practical abil-
ity are taught by the school and along
original lines of research as well as in
making assays of ores from different
parts of the territory, the institution Is
proving of great worth. Professor
Jones is first of all, practical man
who believes in a strenuous life; this
coupled with his scientific attachments
and versatility, strict integrity ami a
genial nature, make him prominent
example for the young men of New
Mexico.

Professor Fayette A. Jones was born
August l, 1852 on farm 20 miles
southwest of Kansas City, Mo. His
parents We're among the carly settlers
of that part of the state. His father
hailed from the state of New York,
going to Missouri in 1S47, where he en-
gagged in teaching school in log school
house, now within the limits of Kansas
City, later he followed the profession
of surveyor. Professor Jones mother
settled in Missouri when girl, coming
from Virginia with her parents in 1874.
ted Lee family Of Revolutionary and
Civil war fame. The early education
of the subject of this sketch was very
meager consisting of what country
school could afford to impart. At the
age Of IS he virtually bid adieu to the
quiet old farm and began work in
Touring mill at Blue Springs, Missouri,
alternately acting as engineer, book
keeper and assistant miller. After
about two years from the time of en-
tering the mill, the financial agent of
the concern absconded with large
sum of money which drove Mr. Jones
father to the wall, who was one of the
principal owners. Unexpectedly thrown
upon his own resources, using the lit
tie means earned at milling, he entered
the State University of Missouri,
spending nearly two years there and
paying his way in part by working on
the agricultural farm at ten cents per
hour. On leaving the University he
found employment in surveying about
Kansas City. In the fall of 1882, he
was married to Miss Agnes Cairns,
from which union they are blessed with
three children, two boys and one girl,
all now attending the New Mexico
School of Mines. He was appointed
city engineer of Independence, Missou-
ri, in the fall of 1888. On January 1.
1884, he received the appointment of
deputy county surveyor, and assistant
road and bridge commissioner for
Jackson county, which county embrac-
es Kansas City. Serving in the capac-
ity of city engineer, deputy surveyor
and assistant road and bridge COM
missioner for period of four years he
gained the respect and esteem Of the
public In the spring Of 1889 he was
engaged in constructing street rail-
way in Warrenburg, Missouri. Septem-
ber, 1889, found him engaged in new
role, student at the State School OF
Mines at Rolla, Missouri.
After the first year of attendance at
this school he was recognized for abil-
ity in mathematics and engineering
and was employed as assistant profess
sor in those branches. Graduating IN
June, 1899, winning the degrees Of min
ing engineer and civil engineer there-
after, he accepted position with a
mining company in Arizona. 1t was at
this place, the Union mine, that he re-
ceiyed the distinction of laying the
longest pipe line, about IA miles, in
Arizona. During this work he and his

streWn with nuggets and gold dust.
The truth of this statement is verified
in every case where bed rock has been
reached. About six miles to the north
of the gateway to the Moreno valley is
the picturesque camp of Elizabethtown.
This town lies in the lap between two
mountains: Badly mountain on the
east and the Taos mountains on the
west.
"Elizabethtown in the early days
was the scene of great mining activity
It is claimed at one time the popula-
ton reached 5000. The early mining
was mostly that of placer. The Lynch
Brothers who have been operating the
large hydraulic plant for many years,
have amassed vast fortune. Their
success dates back to the early sixties,
when a brother, who was aftel ward
killed by tree falling upon him, pur-
chased the famous Elizabethtown and
Red River ditch at receivers sale,
which bankrupted the original owner
and builder. This purchase was made
for $4,000, and virtually controls the
water in the district. The ditch dis
charges about 100000 gallons every "a
hours, and is over 40 miles in length,
and is known as the Lynch ditch.
"Elizabethtown district and the Red
River district have many mines and
prospects, the value of these districts
does not lie wholly in their placer de-
posits, but in the lodges and veins from
whence these placers came.
"A short distance southwest of Eliza
BEETHOVEN stands mountain Of iron, a
solid mass of hematite of superior
quality and carrying several dollars in
gold to the ton.
across the range, about ten miles
west of Elzabethtown, is the Amizett
mining district, which shows many
mines of high grade ores, rich in cop
per, gold, silver and lead.
From the gateway of the Moreno
valley, our projected line of railway
reached south and west, crossing the
main range at an elevation of exactly
5000 feet, at point known as the
Taos pass.
Before proceeding further. 1t would
be of interest, perhaps, to relate briefly
a bit of gruesome history. Our camp
for many days, when surveying to get
across the range, was on the east side
of the pass at the foot of the mountain.
"Heic were standing an old cabin
and an outbuilding which afforded
partial protection. 1t was learned that
this building was kept by man nam
ed Kennedy, who pretended to keep
lodging house. After about two years
in the lodging house business it was
noticed that no person was ever af-
terward seen or heard of after taking a
nights lodging with the landlord. It
was also noticed that Kennedy was
very attentive to gardening and dig
ging about in his little truck patch.
Suspicious We're aroused by persons
acquainted with the surroundings, and
a vigilante committee waited on Mr..
Kennedy early one morning-he was
found afterward by others hanging
from the limb Of a pine. The garden
was his charnel yard; the writer pulled

out femur bone, where it had been
exposed by a wash in the garden soil.
There is scarcely a doubt that this
gruesome relic of the survey, was a
bone of one of the unfortunate victims
DR.. J. ]. Shuler of Ration has this bone.
'The grade in going down the noun
tain on the Taos side is gradual and
easy.
'The Taos valley is the most beauti-
full part of New Mexico. The soil is
FERTILE producing wheat, rye, corn, al
falfa. vegetables and fruits of all kinds.
| This valley was formerly the Egypt of
New Mexico; it was the Mecca to which
| the whole southwest journeyed as Ben
jamin of old to buy corn in years of
drouth and famine.
1T is not at all surprising that the
Pueblo Indians located in this beautiful
valley. Every stream on this side Of
the range is sparkling with abundance
of water.
THE old town of Taos is practically
today as it was centuries ago; to see
the inhabitants toiling in the gardens
and fields, carries us back to the time
of Moses. as did the children toll upon
the plains of Shinar.
Some very old ruins presumably
Pueblos, are to be seen to the right
when nearing the main town. There
are no legends as by whom these ruins
were inhabited.
"An interesting feature Is one Of the
Taos. 1t appears that these Indians
rebelled against the United States gov
ernment once and but only once, in the
latter part of the fifties, and took re-
fuge in this old church. Whereupon
General Sterling Price bombarded them
with cannon from distant point, until
the Indians hoisted flag of truce
from the top of the old church. The
effect of that bombardment was in ev-
idence at the time of the survey in
1898; the holes made by the shells We're
never repaired.
"The writer shall never forget the
time when the corps of surveyors en-
tered the suburbs of the town. They
We're met by all the prominent people
of Taos, with music. song and general
welcome. We were feasted and toast
ed, given receptions or entertainments
every night while there. This act of
appreciation in welcoming US into
their homes and places of amusements,
was entirely due to the native people
of Taos, for there was but one Ameri-
can family living there at that time.
1t is in one Of the cemeteries Of Taos,
where lies all that Is mortal of Amer
ica's greatest hunter. trapper, scout
and guide. Kit Carson.
From Taos the line of survey ran
in a southwesterly course down the
boxed canon of the Taos river to the
Rio Grande.
"a line of railway built over this
route would open up the garden spots
and store-houses of New Mexico's
choicest possessions.
"The entire line could be constructed
at comparatively small cost. and on q
grade not to exceed two and one-half

THE LEASING
BILL IS DEAD
Commissioner Binger Hermann Makes Clear to
the House Committee on Public Lands
the Results Of Lease Law.
LAND FOR SANTA Re CENTRAL
A Bill 10 Grant the Santa Fe Central Railway Company
All Unapproprlafed and Unsurveyed Government
Land on the So-Called Antonio
Sandoyal Grant.

The house committee on public land6
Thursday considered the BowerSpck
bill, which provides for the leasing for
grazing purposes Of vacant public do
main. Although no action was taken
by the committee 1T was practically de-
cided that the bill will never be reported.
The commissioner of the general land
office, Binger Hermann, was present
and he gave his views on the leasing of
public lands. He said such bill would
practically repeal the homestead law,
the desert land law and the timber
culture law. 1t would give preference
to the large cattle holder and crowd out
the smaller growers. The views of the
commissioner were practically accepted
by the members of the committee.
This action on the Bowersock bill it
was said after the committee meeting,
would not necessarily end efforts to
bring about legislation for the relief of
the stock growers of the West There
are two other grazing bills in the hands
of the committee and although both are
in measure similar to the Bowersock
bill, they will be duly considered and
hearings held. Then too, there may be
an attempt on the part of i committee
to draw up hill that will be suitable
and stand a chance of passing. 1t is the
general opinion that such q bill ought
permanently guarantee the rights of
homesteaders in the stock districts. 1t
is not unlikely that Lacey of Iowa, the
chairman of the public lands committee
will be the Trainer OF such a bill.
Bates of Pennsylvania, introduced a
bill granting to the propos ed Santa Fe
Central railroad and the Albuquerque
Eastern railroad all unappropriated and
unsurveyed government lands in what
has been known as the Antonio Sando-
val grant in New Mexico, mineral lands
to be excluded. 1t is provided that if
these companies are granted this land
they are to build their system from
Santa Fe to Torrance, a distance of 116
miles.
The sundry civil bill as reported to
the senate has provision authorizing
the expenditure OF $2 400 for a Survey Of
the eastern boundary of the Yellowstone
park, and an additional appropriation
of s., 900 for repair of the Casa Grande
ruins, and leaves undisturbed in the bill
as passed by the house several items of
considera BILE Importance to Utah. Wyo-
ming, Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico.
Senator Hawley, from the committee
on military affairs, introduced q bill
providing that hereafter when any lands
on military reservations are deemed by
the secretary of war to be useless for
military purposes, with the approval of
the president he shall have power to
sell them to the highest bidder for cash
at not less than their appraised value,
first giving go days notice.
