His Trail.

M1SSOULA, AIONT.. October 24-An
ern Pacific was held up last night near
Drunmond, Mont, forty-five miles from
this city and Engineer Dan O'Neill was
killed..
The train, which included mall bag
gage, and express cars and nine coaches,
arrived at Missoula at 1920 P. NJ, and
proceeded eastward after a short delay at
this station. It arrived after midnight at
a place two miles west of Drummond
Here the train was signaIled to stop and
he saw a man creeping toward him
over the tender. The man, who was
armed, called to ONeill to stop the train
instantly. The engineer took in the sit
uation at once and pulling open the
throttle, tried to start the train at full
speed. The robber OWNED his purpose
and fired at him. The shot took instant
effect, and the engineer fell dead at his
post. The robber then proceeded to rifle
the express and mail cars. He plundered
the regular mail and blew open the safe
in the express car which was wrecked
by the explosion.
The amount of pluilder which he Sc
cured is not known at present, but it is
supposed to be large
General Scene of Terror.
The excitement OH the train was in
tense. The sudden stoppage Of the cars,
followed soon by the explosion, spread
alarm among the train hands and the pas
sengers. The darkness of the night and
the loneliness of the place added to the
general scene of terror
Equal to Eight Men.
Word of the attack was sent to Drum
mond, whence it was telegraphed TO Deer
Lodge, about fifty miles away. Blood
hounds were sent out at once and steps
were taken to keep vigilant watch for the
robbers. 1t was assumed that at least
eight men were engaged in the hold-up,
but the latest advices are that one man
alone perpetrated the nr-sor and rob-
berry. -zs~-z'+---1+'@ - =.
Dan O'Neill, the dead engineer, lived in
this city, and had q wife and five chill
dren. He had been in the service of the
Northern Pacific Company longer than
any other engineer.
Took Part in SO. Pncific Hold-Ip.
The robber boasted that he was the
man who took part in the hold-up of the
Southern Pacific train near Portland,
Ore, about one year ago. He made this
boast to the train hands to terrorize them
while he employed them to run the train
four miles to a point two miles east Of
Drummond. He declared that he would
be hard to catch, as he had horse in
the timber
On the Trail.
The Northern Pacific has offered a re-
ward of s., 900 for delivery, dead or alive,
of the train robber who killed O'Neill.
The SIX worn by the bandit was found
on a mountain trail two miles from the
scene of the hold-up. and after giving
the hounds the scent of the mask, the
animals Immediately took up the trail,
which was then about eight hours old.

new MEXICO MINES,
The New Year Dawned Auspiciously for
the Mines of the Territory.

E. Craig, owner of the Last Chance
mine in the Mogollon district, Socorro
county, has introduced the cyanide
process in treating the ore from his
mine. 1t has proved quite success
and as the ore of the Last Chance is
typical of that of the Mogollon district,
that process seems to promise to solve
the question of ore treatment in that
part of Socorro county. The process
yields 90 per cent of the values in the
Last Chance ore and costs but 81 per
ton. The Last Chance mill started up
this week.
p. T. McGrath of Denver, represent
ing a Boston syndicate. has bought the
Klondyke mine in the Burros district
in Grant county, Robert Thompson be-
ing the former owner.
The new shaft on the Colwell mine at
Burros has reached a depth of s6 feet
and is now in low grade copper ore.
Drifting will be commenced at the $50
foot level

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Great Reduction in County Expenses
County Debt Question.

The board of county commissioners
yesterday afternoon approved the bills
for the second and third quarter of the
year and ordered them to be paid In
full. An estimate of the county ex-
penses for the year 1902 was made. The
estimate is $1,000. In former years the
annual expense of the county was $14,-
900. This forenoon the report of Com
missioner Arthur Seligman on the bon
ded indebtedness of the county was
read. There were number of mem
bers of the committee present which
had been appointed to find a way OF
compromising the debt with the bond
holders. The report of Mr.. Seligman Is
very comprehensive.
The report was adopted and this af-
ternoon a resolution embodying the
recommendations of the report was
offered and discussed. The county
commissioners will be in session proba-
bly, until Saturday.
r7The board passed the proposed reso-
luton. 1t provides for the refundlng
of the lawful indebtedness OF the county
of Santa Fe including unpaid coupons
and judgments therefor at one-half OF
the principal, into 4o-year per cent
bonds, in accordance with Chapter Al OF
the Session Laws of 1901.
The matter of union depot OF the
three railroads entering Santa Fe is
again being discussed. An ideal site
would be at the foot of Montezuma
avenue, facing the capitol building.

TAOS COUNTY MINES.
Working to Find the Ore Body on the
Anaconda.

I. T. Burns and Elizabeth Burns OF
Taos, have sold to Edward Hatton the
Gold King and Gold Queen mining
claims in the Red River district, Taos
county.
The drill on the Anaconda mine in
the Red River district is down about
40 feet. No body Of ore has yet been
encountered to justify sinking shaft.
The drill will go down to 500 feet and
If the ore body is not encountered at
that depth it will be taken as evidence
that the vein, which at the surface dips
at an angle Of As degrees, either does
not 20 down to any depth or that it
straightens out below the surface. To
ascertain the fact the drill will go down
at another place about 16O feet north
west of the old shaft and about the
same distance from the present place
of operations. If the vein Is encoun-
tered reduction works will be erected.
Development Is being pushed on the
Coondyke property in the Lobe camp,
Taos county. B. F. Terrell who has
heretofore had charge of the boarding
house at the mine, has moved to Taos,
and r. c. Porter has succeeded him.
L. o. Haberstitch has struck a good
quality Of ore on one Of his claims In
the Lobo camp. Taos county, at a
depth Of 25 feet.
Willis vandever and Company will
resume work on the Mark Twain In the
Lobo camp Of Taos county.

SAFE BREAKERS SECURE $4,000.
They Bound and Gagged Three Watchmen
at East St. Louis.

ST. Louis, Jan. Masked men en-
tered the National Stock Yards Bank of
East st. Louis. Ills, during the night,
bound and gagged the three night
watchmen, blew open the safe, and got
away with sum said to be $1,000.
From seven o'clock until 4 a. M, the
robbers worked on the vaults without
being interfered with. Lee Philpot one
of the watchmen, a Rough Rider friend
of President Roosevelt, was the first to
meet with the robbers. Three men
sprang out of a fence corner with re-
volvers and said: "We want you,
Philpot," and overpowered him before
he could reach for his revolver The
robbers took Philpot to the composing
room of the daily National Stock Yards
Reporter nearby, laid him on the floor,
bound him hand and foot ana gagged
h i'm with towels.
Philpot heard the leader OF the robber
gang say 'sLet's kill him." but he was
deferred by the other robbers. Albert
Estep, the other bank watchman, and
the night fireman, 1. w. Clark, were
similarly captured and bound.
Five minutes after the robber guard
left the composing room, Estep, who
had not been bound securely, worked
himself loose and released Clark and
Philpot. This was about four o'clock.
Estep then ran to the telephone, called
UP Charles T. Jones, general manager
of the stock yards and informed him OF
the robbery. The robbers probably
ESCAPED on horseback.

.SCHLEY GRANTED
AN APPEAL
The Admiral Succeeded in Persuad-
ing President Roosevelt That
the Case Be Reviewed.
WILL BRING OUT NEW FACTS
Schley Left the White House in Satisfied
State of Mind and Will Use Every
Means to Reverse the Judgment Of
tho Court of Inquiry

w..shington, Jan. 1.-THE object of
Ad u raj Schley's visit to the White
House yesterday was to request the
president to entertain an appeal for
the reversal of the action Of Secretary
Long and the disapproval Of the ma
jority Judgment Of the court of in
auiry. The president granted the ad-
miraIs request. Rayner and league
will today assist Schley in the prepar-
alton of the appeal.
schley left the White House in sat
isfied state of mind. He had been CIV
en- full opportunity to present the case
from his standpoint and acquaint the
president with many details of which
the latter could not have any knowl-
edge. While Schley would not make
any statement regarding the matter
discussed, holding that any interview
between a naval officer and his COM
mander-in-c chief should be regarded as
confidential. it is understood he brought
to the presidents attention many al
legged injustices and discrepancies In
the majority report Of the court of in
quiry.
Schley's interview with the president
was the result of his determination to
exhaust every means In his power to
overturn the judgment rendered
against him. His new appeal will be
different from that submitted to the
department, bringing out new facts
which have important bearing upon
the controversy.
