Is Limestone Mineral

The question as to whether or not
limestone is a mineral will be set
tied by the general land office at
Washington, the basis of the decision
being the contest of the Northern Pa
citic railway company for possession
OF the limestone Quarries near Log
ging creek against the government
patent of John E. Williams, says the
Great Falls Tribune. The plaintiff in
the contest alleges that the issue of
the patent was made enormously and
should therefore be cancelled.
The Great Falls land office has been
directed to take evidence as to wheth-
er the land is more valuable for ag-
ricultural than for mineral purposes,
and If the decision should favor the
former, Williams will no doubt lose
the title to the land ON which he is
said to have expended a large amount
of money.
The claims are in section Is, town
ship 16 north, range 6 east, and in
what the Northern Pacific railway
company claims as part of its land
grant. Odd numbered sections. how
ever, which are said to be more val
liable for the minerals they contain
than for agricultural purposes, are
excluded from the land grant. The
Placer and Cascade wor.s No. 3, lime
stone placer locations, were made De-
cember 10, 1891, and application for
the patent was made subsequently.
The final certificate was made to John
Z. Williams, at the Helena land of.
flee February 20, 1901.
Under a certain act of congress a
board of mineral land commissioners
was appointed to inspect all the lands
said to be mineral, but after inspect
ing those in question the board report
ed that they were non-mineral-that
is. the board did not look upon lime
stone as mineral. On these lands the
commission reported in January, 1901,
stating that there were no mineral in
dications and the formation was lime.
stone and sandstone.
On the strength of this report the
Northern Pacific Railway company
contends that the land is not miner
al and properly belongs to it under its
land grant.
The investigation by the local land
office will definitely determine the
question.

Santiago Mine Looking Up.

A force Of eight men are working
on the Santiago mine belonging to
the Waldorf Draper Co. They are
cleaning out the tunnels where a large
quantity of ore had caved in, and af-
ter this is removed, the work of sink
ing a winze on the go foot tunnel
will commence. Ore will then be TAX
en- out and left on the dump until the
proposed mill is erected. The Santi-
ago is a rich proposition and has
enough ore in sight to guarantee the
erection of a mill. The present force
of men will soon be increased and

In West Fisher District.

J.. w. Allen and William Williams.
two Of the owners of the Great North
ern group of claims in West Fisher
district, came down from that prop
erty last week and report having made
considerable progress the past sea
son. This group of claims is one of
the best known in the entire Libby
district. says the News. There are
six claims in the group and the w
ers are j.. w. Allen, VIM. Williams
and Herman Hildebrandt. These
claims are located on the divide be-
tween West FISHER and Libby creeks,
and about thirty miles from Libby.
About 800 feet of development work
has been done on the property. The
most of this has been done on the
Libby Chief, on which q cross-cut tun-
mel has been run for $50 feet to inter
sect the ore body. Owing to a more
considerable dip of the vein than was
supposed, this tunnel has not been
run far enough to tap the lead. The
balance of the work has pee done
on the Great Northern claim, with the
exception of the necessary assessment
| work on the other claims in the
group.
The values are in gold. silver and
lead. The ledge where the discovery
was made is about forty feet wide,
and the ore at this point run 26
ounces in silver and rs per cent lead.
On the Sambo, also one of the claims
in the group, there are five distinct
formation veins. and in all Of these
good values in gold have been found.
These veins are nearly fiat and the
formation is slate on both sides. On
the Great Northern and Libby Chief
claims, however, the vein has a dip
of about As degrees and the walls are
slate and quartzite.

SUNDAY CLOSING. Z
Governor Otero Addresses a Letter to
District Attorneys.

Governor Otero has sen out the fol
lowing letter to district attorneys of
the territory:
Dear Sir: There has been a petition
presented to me signed by nearly all
the business men in the city of Santa
Fe. calling my attention to the fact
that section 1868. compiled laws of
1897, commonly known as the Sunday
law, Is not and has not been for a
number of years past enforced except
in the First judicial district; that the
enforcement of this law. especially in
the city of Santa Fe, works a hardship
upon the business interests of said
city, especially when the. same is not
carried into effect in neighboring
towns, and asking me to take official
notice of this state of affairs and see
that the law is enforced In every coun
ty in the territory in the same manner
that it is IN Santa Fee. AS you know
this section has been construed by the
supreme court to prohibit the selling
of liquor on Sunday.
You, as well as l. have taken AN obi
cation that we will uphold the laws OF
the territory, and SO long as they are
upon the statute books, they must be
enforced in all parts of the territory
alike. You are especially charged with
the duty OF looking to the enforcement
of this law under section 1874, com
piled laws of 1897, and prosecuting vic
lators of the same. | am aware that
public sentiment in regard to the wis
dom of this law varies in different
communities in the territory, but that
car not affect your duty. and | shall.
expect you to perform the same and
make report to me direct of the result
of your efforts. | enclose copy of petit
ton herein. Respectfully yours.

CHANGE OF VENUE.
The ChiIders Murder Case Changed to
Dona Ana County.

Change of venue in the case of the
territory VS. John w. Childers. murder
was granted by the court yesterday
afternoon. upon application of the de
PENDANT. Judge II. b. Hamilton and
w. +. Cunningham. of counsel for the
defense, presented the application stat
ing that the deceased was a nan OF
great prominence in this county, hav'
ing many friends, and that such pref
udice exists as to prevent the accused
from having a fair trial.
The application was supported by
the affidavit of the defendant, and the
afidavits of G. H Sewers, Wesley viii
liams and Robert Milliken. the afida
Wits covering the ground of the promi
hence of the deceased, his wide in
huence during his lifetime and the ex
listing prejudice against the defendant
sand the impossibil.ty of the accused
having a fair trial.
District Attorney Llewellyn and the
other attorneys for the territory did
not strenuously resist the application
for change of venue. and the same was
%therenpon granted by the court.
The question as to wnat county in
the district case should be sent was
then taken up and discussed briefly by
the attorneys in the case.
The defense expressed a desire that
the Ease be sent either to Luna or to
Otero county. The prosecution stated
that there was objections to these two
counties. mainly because OF the small
court funds.
Judge Parker was of the opinion that
case should not go to any one OF the
three small counties-Luna, Sierra and
Otero. for the reason that only a small
court fund would be available and that
the small counties should not be bur
dened with the trial of this case. HI
therefore sent the case to Dona Ana
county. District court for n a county
will i've on the Lrst Monday Of
April and will likely be in session fol
four weeks. The case was set for the
third Monday.
Counsel for the defendant asked that
the prisoner be remanded to h custo
dy of the sheriff until date of trial and
the court granted this request. Sheriff
Goodell will Immediately carry out this
order.-Silver City Enterprise.
