NEW BOUNDARY.
Resurvey Of the Lire Between Colo
RADIO and New Mexico.
IS IN DEFICIENCY BILL.

A special to the Denver News
from Washington says:
Provision will no doubt be made in
the general deficiency bill when it
comes to the senate for the resurvey Of
the boundary line between Colorado
and New, Mexico. The interior depart
ment rs at present engaged in making
estimates of the cost of this survey.
These will be forwarded to Senator
Teller, with the recommendation that
an appropriation be made and the de-
partment authorized to undertake the
work. The estimate of cost will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
1t is well known fact that the line
separating Colorado and New Mexico
is rather an indefinite affair. The town
of Edith, which lies to the south of
Pagosa Springs, has alternately lain
in New Mexico, in Colorado and on the
line for many years. The Colorado leg
islature appointed commission to
find out just where the town of EdiLn
really did lie, but Tor some reason or
other this commission has never acted.
Senator Teller considers it the place
of the government to. determine the
state boundary lines once and for all,
and he will therefore, after obtaining
assurance that the interior department
is willing to resurvey the New Mexico
Colorado boundary line, proceed to ask
that the boundary funds be voted.
The line in uestion was superficially
surveyed in 1868, and has since that
time been more or less vague. 1t was
originally intended that 1t should run
on the thirty-seventh parallel, but the
surveyors in running the line, from the
southeastern corner of the state, start
ed at right angles to the meridian
there, and ran ii for many miles with
out making any allowance for the curv-
ature of the earth's surface. In this
slip shod manner the line was carried
across to the meridian bounding Colo
RADIO on the west. and has never been
rectified. The location of several val
liable mining claims is said to be in
jeopardy on accoun. of this state of
affairs

STRIKE WAS SETTLED.

Hazelton, Pa, May 1.-THE general
convention of the United Mine Work
.ers of America, in the anthracite coal
territory of Pennsylvania. began here
this morning and before il adjourns
sine die it will have reached q definite
conclusion on the question whether the
temporary strike for higher wages or
shorter hours, inaugurated on Monday.
he made permanent or the men shall
return to work to await more oppor-
tune time. There is every indication
the delegates will decide to strike.
though there is strong sentiment
against such action. President Mitch
ell and the leaders are keeping their
hands off and will insist that the dele
gates decide the issue for themselves.
One word from him could sway the
convention either way and it is very
probable he will he asked to decide the
better course. If necessary, he SAYS.
he will advise the men and he is
averse to strikes. Mr. Mitchell was
chosen chairman of the convention
and in an address cautioned the dele
gates to act wisely whatever they
should do. He admonished them to
stand together. After the appointment
of committees, the convention adjourn
ed till /: 80 this afternoon. Most of the
day will be devoted to organization
and 1t is thought the convention will
last several DAYS.

Maunificent Destruction.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, Tues
day, May 13.-Soufriere volcanao on
the Island of st. Vincent, is still in de-
structive eruption. The noise is like a
cannonade and is heard a hundred
miles away. Columns of smoke rise
miles in the air. Immense balls of col
ored fire also issue from the crater,
and lightning is playing fiercely over
the upper sky, while the whole north
ern part of the island is one mass of
travelling flame. 1t is impossible to
reach the burning district by land or
sea and there are no means of estimat-
ing the destruction wrought of life and
property.
Kingston, the capital of ST. Vincent,
is Still safe, though showers of ashes
and pebbles are continually falling.
The volcano itself is invisible.
The st. Lucia signal station here re-
ports having seen a conflagration last
night in the direction of Fort DE
France, Martinique.

in on the Setting Sun vein at Mineral
Park and recently q fine body of cop
per ore was cut. This ore is almost
solid black copper and carries big val
ues in gold and silver as well. This is
the second propert opened up in that
neighborhood by Mrs Kay anl each
one was one of the old reopened mines
of the camp. The reopening of these
old veins show the values that the old
timers overlooked in the way OF cop
per. In the porphr.y belt of the Min
eral Park region there are immense
deposits of copper that some day will
make the camp one of the most pros
porous in the southwest.
A 5000 900 deal is in process of incu-
baton in the Boundary Cone country
The parties to the deal have made a
satisfactory examination of the prop
erty and If the second examination
confirms the report of the first en-
gineer the deal will be closed. The
probable purchasers are anxious to
close the deal from their own observa-
ton and on the strength of the pre-
liminary report. The mines are being
opened up rapidly and every day for
months past has added thousands of
dollars to the value of the property.
With two large companies operating in
the district the future of Boundary
Cone and Gold Roads is assured.

RICHER THAN kLONDlKE.
Strike Made in the Silver Peak Mine in
Nevada That Rivals the old
Comstock Lode.

Nevada has another mining excite
ment, and one that promises to excel
that of Nome. A telegram from Car
son says that S. A. Knapp, who recent
ly arrived there from Hawthorne,
brings word that one of the richest
strikes recorded in the history of the
state was made few days ago in the
Silver Peak mine, and that it throws
Klondike and Cape Nome in the shade.
Knapp said that nuggets OF pure gold
of the size of hens eggs were taken
out. and that there were many of these
pieces of gold of various sizes. The
whole face of the drift, apart from the
nuggets. the ore itself, was estimated
to go $400 to $500 ton. Ii is said that
over 800 900 was taken out in a few
hours the first day of the strike.
Sone two weeks ago the owners of
the mine, the Blairs of New Jersey, put
a force of men to work in the tunnel
This tunnel cuts a seyenty-foOt ledge
of ore. The foreman noticed a very
rich streak of a few inches in width
and decided to follow it. He did so
with such success that four days ago
the rich stuff opened up TO the full
width of the drift. Some seven months
ago John Mackay offered to bond these
mines after hearing the report of min
ing engineers that he had sent to Sill
yer Peak. but the Blairs informed him
that they would not bond them for a
day, but would sell them for S700, 900
cash. The mines have been idle for a
number of years. and it is now thought
the Blairs will take immediate steps
TO work them, as at first il was consid-
cred low grade ore. The Silver Peak

MinInn for Gold.

The mining situation at Nogales
Lincoln county, is improving rapidly.
The owners of the HELEN Rea mine,
the Robertson brothers. of Scranton
Pa, were recently offered S125.000 for
their property, but hold it at $500, 900.
They are putting in new machinery
and expect to work several of their
forty-two patented claims on a larger
scale than ever before.
The American mine IS now produc.
ing the most satisfactory results. A
recent mill run of seventeen tons
yielded values of more than $50 to the
ton. AS the ore is easily accessible
and the cost of operation is slight. the
profits promise to be large. Fifty more
stamps and new cyanide plant are to
be installed at once.

MAY QUARANTINE.
Sheep Sanitary Board Urges That
Sheep be Dipped.
OFFICIAL LETTER SENT.

On account of the carlessness of
many sheep owners in respect to scab
and their failure to dip their sheep, a
quarantine against New Mexico is
threatened. Many sheep with their
scab have been shipped out and com
plaint has been made to the govern
ment. The sheep sanitary board has
issued the following letter on the sub
ject:
To the Sheep owners of the Territory
of New Mexico:
The government is threatening to
quarantine this territory and not allow
any sheep to leave same on account
of the prevalence of the disease of
scabies among our sheep. Nothing
could work a greater hardship on the
sheep growers of this territory than
the issuance of such an order. 1t
would make it impossible to sell sheep
to leave New Mexico at any price
whatever. If all the sheep that are an
nually dipped in New Mexico were
dipped properly the disease of scab
would soon be eradicated. The chief
cause for failure in this respect lies in
the fact that the growers have not pro-
vided themselves with the necessary
facilities for dipping their sheep and
do not properly prepare and correctly
use dips that will kill the scab.
Enclosed herewIlh find copy
of directions for the preparation and
use Of sheep dips approved by the gov
ernment bureau of animal industry.
We strongly urge upon the sheep grow
ers of this territory, to carefully study
these directions, provide themselves
with their own dipping watts and dip
their sheep as required therein. A
careful compliance with the directions
therein set out to kill the scab, and
If all growers will carefully dip their
fiocks in accordance Herewith. the dis
ease will soon disappear from New
Mexico, thus saving the territory from
being placed under quarantine.
This board has been called to ac'
count and severely criticised by the
government for failure TO stamp out
the disease of scabies from New MeXi'
co and we now warn the sheep growers
of this territory to dip their fiocks and
see that they are clean of scab; other
wise, when making general inspection
our inspectors will be instructed and
this board will see that they do impose
heavy fines on the owner of any flock
of sheep found with the scab.
Very respectfully,
SOLOMON LUNA,
President.

was then taken up. Mr.. Proctor, of
Vermont, offered an amendment pro-
viding no part of the appropriation be
for constructing or procuring disap-
pearing gun carriages in emplace-
ments or magazines.
He discussed at some length the
question of disappearing gun car
riages. saying the patents secured by
General Burlington and Captain Gro
zier had been disposed of to the Beth
lehem Steel company and foreign
countries. He said two-thirds of the
opinions upon the use of the carriage
opposed it and he deemed 1t unwise
and an unsafe investment of money to
construct any further disappearing car
riageS.

MOHAVE COUNTY DISTRICT.
One of the Best Mineral Districts in
Arizona.

From Kingman Miner.
The Tennessee mill is running right
along and has plenty of water for all
purposes. The waste water from the
Schuylllill mine has been secured and
is utilized at the mill, giving it a much
needed supply.
The Minnesota-Connor mine is show
ing up in excellent shape and every
foot of work but adds to the values of
the big ore body. The mill is turning
out large daily product of high grade
concentrates.
Another mining company having for
its object the working of mines in the
Gold Basin mining district has been
organized under the laws of the terri
tory of Arizona. The company has a
large capitalization and has under
bond several promising mining claims.
A deal for the transfer of several
promising mines in the Stockton Hill
country is about to be consummated,
the arrival of the parties to the deal
being expected every day. AS soon as
deal has been settled the mines will
be operated by large force of men.
The mines are among the best proper
ties of that region.
The other evening the New Com
stock Mining company shipped to the
Arizona Central bank bar of bullion
from a partial cleansp of weeks run
of the Sheeptrail mill. The bullion
was clean and contained about $500.
The batteries were not touched in
making the cleanup only that on the
plates having been specifically
cleaned. Ii is thought that when a
general cleanup is made it will show
a big result. The company is putting
on more men in the mine and at the
mill. So far everything is running
along smoothly and the slopes showing
better than when first broken into.

What Jones Says.

Special to The Citizen.
Santa Rosa, n. NJ, May 13.-Eakin
advertised that he would open saloon
in Tucumcari and sell drinks for 10
cents. The other saloonkeepers forbid
him doing so and said they would run
him out of town and attacked him on
the street.
He opened his saloon, they came In
and made an attack on him, slapping
him in the face and drawing revolvers
on him. He defended himself. Lee
Smith was killed and Joe Stewart. who
accompanied him, was also shot and
died the following day.
Eakin and bartender and Manager
Burdick were held in the saloon until
the sheriff arrived twelve hours later
and brought them to Santa Rosa. The
shooting occurred about 11:3 p. m.
The mob patrolled the building and
fired into it about 3 80 in the morning,
wounding the bartender, Lewis Fon-
vile, seriously, the same bullet pass
ing through Burdick's hat
Eakin and Burdick are in charge OF
the sheriff at Puerta de Luna, and Fon-
vile is in Santa Rosa in charge of a
doctor. w. B. Childers arrived this
morning. Everything is quiet.

WHAT JONES SAYS.

Special to The Citizen.
Ell Paso, Texas, May 14.-Sheriff
Romero and two deputies in charge of
James d. Eakin, DR.. T. p. Burdick and
Louis Fondville, arrived here this
morning from Santa Rosa. Attorney
w. B. Childers is with them. The lat
ter says he feared preliminary hear
ing in Guadalupe county during the
present excitement over the killing of
Smith and Stewart and requested
Sheriff Romero to escort Eakin and
party to Las Vegas, where he (Chil-
ders) will ask bail before Judge Mills.
Eakin says he was clearly justified in
committing murder During the day
(last Saturday, Street, partner of
Smith, bantered him to a fight in front
of their saloon, but he averted trouble
although Street called many hard
words. He told Burdick and Fondville
that trouble would surely come at
night, and in order to protect himself
and employees he purchased a As re-
volver and telegraphed for his shotgun
at Santa Rosa. With these weapons
and rifle he obtained from a young
man named Shaw, who worked at the
Whitney company, the Melini & Eakin
saloon was defended from mob vio-
lence after the killing until Sunday,
when Sheriff Romero and deputies ar.
rived. Eakin says he was waiting on
a customer when Smith came in. The
later slapped him in the face and held
his gun on him. Eakin told him that
he had the advantage now and with
his left hand unseen reached for his
revolver. Bringing it hurriedly up
and ocked he fred and Smith
fell to the floor dead, shot
through the face. Stewart was shot
later, but Eakin don't know how. Early
Sunday morning the friends of the
dead men formed around the Melini &
Eakin place, and bullet sent into the
building struck Fondville in the breast
but the wound is not serious. Dakin
has this bullet and will keep it as a
souvenir. Sheriff Romero has placed
James Witt, special detective for
Goode & Co., contractors, and also a
deputy sheriff of Guadalupe county, in
charge of the Melini & Eakin place at
Tucumcari.
