Judge J. D. Whitman, one of
the old time prospectors of the
Rocky mountains has returned
from New Mexico, says the Den
yer News. He visited the dis
trict near Cerrillos where Edison
expended $3OO,O0O in a futile at
tempt to catch the fine gold on
Cunningham hill. The Edison
works are standing idle, and it is
understood that he has given up
the attempt as hopeless.
In speaking of the district, the
judge said; cunningham hill
is a noted spot for the Mexicans,
as they have been working the
dry placers for several hundred
years. The region covers an
area of six to twelve miles each
way, and the form is a puzzle
which no geologist has ever sue
ceeded In unraveling. The coun-
try is overlaid with coarse gravel,
which carries a cement in which
the gold is embedded. Edison'S
expert was upon the ground for
many weeks, and reported that
the cement on Cunningham hill
and the immediate region carries
the enormous value of So, 900, 900,
900 in fine gold. Many tests gave
So ton by ordinary methods of
extraction, but the absence of
water makes it impossible to work
the deposits on large scale.
The drift carrying the cement
may be traced for 200 miles
through New Mexico and into
southern Colorado. 1t is one of
the most remarkable formations
of America, defes science as sue
cessfully today as it did when

EASTERN CAPITAL INVESTS

The Ell Paso Herald in inter
view with w. w. Woodland, con-
cerning Lincoln county oil and
general mining prospects says:
mo section of the southwest is
showing more signs of rapid de-
velopment now and in the near
future then the southeastern part
of New Mexico. known for
years to be richly mineralized it
has been severely handicapped by
lack of transportation facilities
now relieved by the Rock Island
road.
Already great progress is being
made and new companies are be-
ing attracted to that rich section,
and many of them are taking
hold and the next twelve months
will show greater progress than
the last dozen years have shown.
The county of Lincoln is one of
the richest in this part of the ter
ritory. 1t has gold, copper, sill
yer and coal and every indication
of oil. One of the several rich
companies now taking hold to de-
velOp the resources of the county
is the New Mexico Oil and Devel.

Woodard is secretary and treas.

of eastern capitalists has acq,lir.

gold and copper properties.
Mr. WOodard was in Ell PasC
yesterday and when asked what
his company was doing, said
'We are drilling a six-inch wei

feet but not in paying quantities.
1.-The we'll we have now started
we are rugged out to drill 5000
feet if necessary and we have
every confidence in striking oil.
Oil experts tell us we have all
the indications of finding good
deposit. Only the drill will tell
whether they are right or not.
If we do not strike oil we have
demonstrated there is an abun-
dance of good water and as the
lands have rich soil the water
will be worth quite as much as
the oil we might find. However,
we expect to prove this time
whether we have the oil or not.
"To the eastward of the oil
lands about six miles, our COM
pany has nearly 1000 acres of
bituminous coal lands which we
shall develop and we shall run a
railroad out to them now very
soon. We are only waiting for the
coming within the next thirty
days of about twenty of the heavy
stockholders of the company
from the east who are going to
look over our holdings. Geo.
Gould the railroad magnate and
Mr.. Jordon own 1900 acres of
these coal lands adjoining those
OF our company.
"Twelve miles west of Bonito
in Lincoln county the company
has some very promising gold
properties. The ore is free mill
ing and vein 100 wide has been
opened up. Only the assessment
work is being done at present but
already ore has been found that
would pay to ship, and we are very
much encouraged. The company
also owns some copper properties
in the White mountains in the
same county. These claims are
being developed gradually with
force of five men. We have struck
good quantities of ore running 6
to 7 per cent copper. We shall
undertake operations on all the
properties in the fall.
Mr.. Woodland is enthusiastic on
the prospects of Lincoln county
mining interests and is only one
of the many who are taking hold
of mining prospects of that sec
tion and renewed confidence is felt
in the mineral resources of thai
county and there is room for many
more.
Representatives of eastern cap
ital continue to come in righ'
along and are examining mines
with view to purchasing. Lin

of mining boom.

HOLLANDS FRIENDLY OFFER.

speak in behalf of the Beers. A COM
munication has been, however, re-

which is now under consideration.
The government of Holland has Of
fered in the most friendly terms to
help in bringing about peace in
South Africa. In communication to
the British government, the Dutch
government suggests that it might be
permitted to act as a sort of diplo-
matte agent for the Boer delegates
The government, however, expressly
disavows any attempt at Intervention
and does not mention any terms.

THE TRANsvAAL WAR.
An Appalling Record In Men Lost and
Money Expended by the British In
Trying to Subdue the Beers.

London, Jan. 2s.-Up to January 1,
1902, the British have lost 1864 men
in South Africa by death and 81,
have been invaded home. Despite
this APPALLING record, and despite the
growing anger against the ministry
for not selling every possible oppor-
tunity to put an end to the HOSTILE
ties, the farthest idea from the mind
of the Britons is that of anything
looking like surrender.
Taking the period from the COM
mencement of the military opera
tons until March 81, next, the total
amount for war purposes in South
Africa reaches e151, 100000. Provi-
sion will have to be made for carry
ing on operations vigorously until
the Beers lay down their arms, and
experts affirm that they may look
forward to the expenditure of a
further 6 6O,OOO,ooO to gain the de-
sired end. On that basis the total
cost of the war will approximate

The condition of Capt. David P.
Porter's marines, who took part in

Samar, is much worse than previous

the flesh of two dogs. When Capt.
Porter and the first three of his men
staggered into camp they were deli

in ascertaining the whereabouts of
their companions. Williams, of the
First infantry, headed the relief ex-
petition in the face of a torrential
storm which flooded the rivers. He
succeeded in reaching the remaining
ten men, who would otherwise have
certainly persisted. He found them
all delirious. Two of the men were
discovered in the branches of trees,

Washington, Jan. 29.-The war de-

action respecting Gen. Wheaton's ut
terances, which were quoted in the
senate Monday. This is because the
officials, after studying the Manila
dispatch in which Gen. Wheaton was
quoted, are satisfied that the debate
in the senate proceeded upon an en-
tire misrepresentation of what Gen
Wheaton was reported to have said.
It is found that Gen. Wheaton did not
criticise the United States senate OF
it's committees and it is thought at
the department that the misappre.
hension on that score arose from a
general statement in the dispatch at.
tributing such criticisms to other
persons than Gen. Wheaton.

New York, Jan. 2s.-The reserve
supply of high explosives stored at
the Park avenue shaft of the Rapid
Transit tunnel, now in course of con-

six pesons, injured 100 others and

vibration of the shock. The irregular
square formed by the Murray Hill
hotel on the west, the Manhattan
Eye and Ear hospital and the Grand
Union hotel on the east, and the
Grand Central station on the north,
was the scene of the explosion. The
buildings named sustained the great

extended for several blocks in the
four directions from the center.
