White Cap Mine Sold,

The White Cap mine, in the Rose
dale district, the property of Messrs,
c. G. Cr~uickshank. j. w. Richardson
c. w. Barr and the Lane brothers, was
sold last week to eastern parties, says
the San Marcial Bee. .
Last Saturday DR.. Cruickshank, w
G. Lane and the expert visited Socorro
and secured the services of Harry
Dougherty in making the transfer. The
expert was very favorably impressed
with the whole of the Big Rosa mining
district, and particularly with the
abundance of water and timber there
abouts, making it an ideal site for re
duction works. The price is in the
neighborhood of 800, 900, to be paid il
installments, and the new in
tend to rush the development of the
property.

LARGEST and Best Paper.

The Albuquerque Citizen is like the
grand old party, for its policy is that
OF expansion and improvement. About
a year ago when typesetting machines
and a new and rapid press were add.
ed to its plant, the paper appeared in
an enlarged form. Again the space
for news and advertisements became
too contracted and another column to
each page has been tackled on, making
the Citizen the largest daily in the ter
ritory. Albuquerque's rapid progress
is creditably reflected day by day by
its daily press.-San Marcial Bee.

FOR SHOOTING A COWBOY
p. A. Burdick, OF Deming, Was Brought
to Socorro and Placed In
CUSTODY,

p. A. Burdick, a young man OF Dem
ing, was brought to Socorro Thursday
from his fathers ranch in the western
part of the county and placed in
charge of Sheriff Blackington on a
charge of shooting Judge Neill, a cow
boy in his own employ. The shooting
occurred about three weeks ago on
the Gila river at the hot springs.
Friday in an interview with a repre-
sentative of the Socorro Chieftain Bur-
dick gave his verdict Of the incident
substantially, in brief, as follows:
THE trouble began by Neills abus-
ing me and one of my friends who was
not present. l told him to stop and hot
words followed. He made a movement
as though preparing to strike me.
threw back my hand and struck him.
He then tried to draw his gun but
was a little quicker than he a A
ball from my pistol entered the right
side Of his breast, passed across, in
filcting a flesh wound but not entering
the cavity. and came out at the left
side. Neill seems to be getting well.
He told me that he was as much to
blame in the matter as | was and that
he did not intend to bring any charges
against me. But he was afterwards
induced by others to make complaint,
and here | am"
Attorney S. Alexander went to Santa
Fe to arrange for bail for Burdick and
to arrange for his release under ha,
beas corpus proceedings. The prison
err will probably be released from Gus
tody.

TERRIFIC HAIL STORM.
Several Hundred Goats and Kids XIII.
ed and Drowned.

ed n Drowned.
A correspondent writing to the So
zorro Crieftain, says:
A terrific hail storm struck P. A..
Romero's goat ranch, about seven
miles below Reserve on the Rio San
Francisco, the afternoon of Friday.
August 1. The storm only lasted about
fifteen minutes, but in that short space
OF time enough water fell to food the
neighborhood. Mr.. Romero's goats
we're in the foothills near the ranch
when the storm broke. but ran to the
ranch when the hail began to strike
them. The kide nearly all ran into the
corral. Before the storm was fairly
over a torrent of water came rushing
down a small dry canyon sweeping all
before it. The immense quantity of
rocks and trees swept down in the
food formed a sort of dam which eau
ed the waters to swerve enough to
catch the corral in its path and in the
~twinkling of an eye the corral full OF
kids were either buried in the debris
O. washed away. Old goats and few
kids remained outside of the corral
and escaped. OF those that were in.
side only nineteen were saved alive
while 217 were drowned. The storm
path was very narrow. not more than
half a mile wide. Growing crops in
the valley within half a mile on either
| side Of Romero's were not injured.

A Physician Healed.

DR.. Geo. Ewing, q practicing physic-

thirty years, writes his personal exper-
fence with Foley's Kidney Cure: For
years l had been greatly bothered with

larged PROSTATE gland. l used every
thing known to the profession without
relief, until l commenced to use

prevailed in this part of New Mexico
throughout the summer months still
remain unbroken, say a correspond
en- writing from Captain, Otero coun
ty. AS a result cattlemen and farmers
are beginning to suffer p~erceptibly.
The little grass which was started by
the showers in the early spring has
dried up and is valueless for grazing
purposes and cattle are beginning to
show the effects of a poor range. The
range at this time of the year is u.s.
ually as green as an alfalfa field with
its covering of grass and cattle sleek
and fat. Many of the cattlemen say
that If it does not rain soon the most
of the cattle in the county will have
to be either driven or shipped out OF
the county for grazing purposes.
A great many of the cattlemen have
been able to forestall any losses up to
the present by taking advantage of the
opening of the Mescalero Indian reser-
walton, in Otero county. to grazing
which was accomplished last spring.
Under the order opening the reserva-
ton cattlemen are permitted to Craze
their stock on the indian lands by the
payment of a nominal sum for the
privilege. This a great many of the
cattlemen have done, the V. V. Cattle
company alone putting several thou
sand head thereon. The reservation is
now, however, heavily stocked and
other ranges will have to be looked out
for by the other stockmen.
The stockmen, however, are not the
only sufferers from the dry weather
The farmers, especially those in the
non-irrigable districts, are in equally
as bad a ~predicament as the stockmen
Their crops, which a few weeks ago
rave promise of large yields, are slow
ly dying for the lack of moisture
b Corn, which would easily produce fifty
bushels to the acre, will not yield
"nubbin" unless it rains in a very
short time. The irrigation farms are
also suffering. While not to the ex
tent of the dry land farmers, they are
nevertheless suffering as the streams
are very low as the result of the pro
tracted dry weather.
