Judge I'll. 3. Hamilton Of Eel Paso
who was here yesterday, returned nome
this morning. Judge Hamilton, who is
attorney for the Eagle Mining Com
pany, came here to consul; with Fl. E.
Ferguson, one of the owners of the
Old Abe mine in White Oaks, which the
Eagle Company has agreed to pur-
chase. The gentlemen say the sale is
certain. The Ell Paso attorney says the
Eagle Company will spend great sums
OF money installing machinery for the
treatment of the great bodies of low
grade ore in the Old Abe and In the
Parsons mine on the Bonito in the most
economical manner.
w. l.. Bretherton, manager of the
Clark Coal Company at Clarkeville, de-
nies the reports circulated in Albuquer-
que that the force of miners at Clarke
vile had been greatly reduced, He
says no men have been discharged for
a month and that the mines are run
ming at full capacity.
William Adamson, while delivering
pictures at Pajarito, suffered severe
injury to his wrist that Will cripple
his arm permanently In attempting
to check his frightened team, Adamson
got his wrist caught on one of the
sharp hooks of the single tree. The
resultant cash was deep one, and a
tendon was severed.
Searching parties returned to the city
yesterday afternoon, tired out and dis
couraged, having practically given up
the hunt for George Oliver, who disap-
peared from Whitcomb Springs, Mon
day morning. 1t was felt that the man,
in his demented and weak condition,
could not have stood the four days ex-
posure. Late last night, however, a
man who reached the city from Esco-
bosa, happened to mention the fact
that a man acting very strangely had
been seen at the saw mill out there and
at one of the houses. The stranger
could talk no Spanish, and the people
were unable to find out what he want
ed. The description given of the man
tallies closely with that of Oliver. 1t
is felt certain that the stranger is Oil
yer, and another party left the city as
soon as possible bound for Eseobosa,
little village 20 miles from Whitcomb
Springs.

ted about all the available coal and

developed some very promising coal
veins. Some of them four feet in

D. B. X. Sellers, editor of the Farm
ington Hustler, who is in the city, says
that the reports of starvation and a
threatening attitude among he Navajo
Indians were very little exaggerated.
The ranges dried up and the stock died.

capped drouth entirely and the fruit
crop will be one of the largest in the
history of the region.
