THE BLACK RANGE MINES.
The New Era Group, the Great Republic
and Others Are Showing Up Well.

A. R. Gibson, who has just returned
from an inspection trip to the Black
Range, upon being seen by represen-
tative of the New Mexican, stated that
he is of the opinion that the mineral
possibilities of the Black Range are
great and that all the region needs for
satisfactory and profitable mineral dew
elopment is rail communication. Mr..
Gibson visited several OF the mining dis
tricts and inspected some OF the prop
critics there. Among these was the New
Era group, owned by the Mines Develop
ment Association and managed by c. T.
Brown, the Socorro mining expert and
engineer. Mr.. Gibson states that the
hosting, pumping and velopment
plant on the New Era group, is the most
complete and best arranged Of any like
plant he has ever seen. The superin-
In hand and is first class man for the
position. The workings now are at the
i5O-foot level and in vein of five and
half feet Of high grade ore. No ship
ments are being made at present, but
the ore is being stored for future treat
ment, the association intending TO install
q plant for treating it ut q very early
date. In the Kingsbury district, near
Fairview, are some Of the most pr0mis-
ing gold prospects in the country. TIE
ore in these prospects, although only
superficially exposed, shows very hig l,
gold and silver values. The Great Re-.
public group, upon which scarcely any
work has been done, Is held at $50, 600
becaase the surface indications warrant
this high price, showing such great gold
values.

NO HELP FOR WALL STREET
The Spectators Must Shift for Themselves
to Overcome the Money Stringency.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-Secre-
tary Shaw declines to say anything for
publication as to the attitude of the
treasury department in regard to the
present money stringency in New York.
There is reason to believe. however, that
no action whatever is contemplated now
or at any time in the near future and
certainly not as long as the interests
involved are not extended to substantial
business operations OF the country out
side of its present limited area. 1t is
und erstood that the department takes
the position that the government is not
involved in the present situation and
that Wall street must rely upon its own
resources to tide over the present strin-
gency. At this time the treasury has
no available cash on hand above a mo.
derate working seaai e appropr ating
$5s, 100000 and it is not its present pur-
pose further to reduce this sum by max
ing additional deposits in national bank
depositares or otherwise.

The BANK ROBBERY
AT H|LLSBORO
1t Was One of the Boldest Grimes
Recorded of Late Years in the
Territory.
THE FuGITIVES HEADED
FOR THE M0G0LL0M COUNTRY

Additional particulars regarding the
robbery of the Sierra County Bank at
Hillsboro at o'clock on Wednesday af-
| ternoon, state that at least $4,000 was
! secured. Two men rode up and tied
their horses in front of the bank. They
were armed with both Winchesters and
| revolvers, but only the latter wese used.
one man covered the officers Of the
| bank while THE other dumped the mon
ey into sack. They at once rode from
town and started northwest and are
known to have passed through Hermo-
sa and Fairview. At the latter place
the galloping of the horses awakened
the citizens about o'clock in the
morning. 1t is believed they are MAX
ing for the Mogollon country where
they could probably secure safe re-
treat on account of it's wildness and in
accessibility.
The bank is the largest banking inst-
tuition in that part of the country and
is the depository for the mining and
cattlemen who have interests in that
vicinity. The deposits have recently
been unusually heavy on account of the
large sales of cattle and the robbers
undoubtedly knew this. A posse was
hastily organized and runners We're
sent out in all directions, but the Off
GERS reached Fairview about half an
hour after the robbers had passed
through.
A BOLD DEED.
The following additional particulars
were received this afternoon:
Special to the New Mexican.
Hillsboro, Dec. 1.-THE Sierra Coun-
ty Bank was held up yesterday after
noon by two cowboys. They hitched
their horses in the street back of the
bank walked into the building and
pulled up the blinds on the windows
and doors. They then forced the cash.
ier, w. H. Bucher, ito open the safe and
took all the money in sight. 1t amoun-
ted to about $3,OOO but they overlooked
81, 800 in gold bullion. After slowing
the money away, they compelled the
cashier and his assistant, Lee Crews, to
go with. them out of the back door and
to where their horses were hitched. Af-
ter they mounted their horses, they
told the bank officers to return to their
work at the bank and then rode out of
town. They We're not masked or dis
guised in any way and it is reported
that one of them served a term in the
and was released only last
fall.

FEAST OF ST. LUCIA.

The young ladies of Loretto convent
entertained a number of their friends
last evening in honor Of St. Lucia, the
patron saint of the Mother Superior.
The program consisted Of choice vocal
and instrumental selections, recitations
and tableaux. Miss Libbie Taylor in
her opening address, entitled Ideals
referred to the object Of the entertain
ment, and related many incidents in the
life of st. Lucia. The Madonna Of Pa
los, a recitation by Miss Mary Sena,
was delivered in a charming manner,
and the effect was heightened by the
singing of hymns at intervals by an in
visible choir. Miss Belle Quicl1's reci-
tation "The Holy Hand" was warmly
appreciated by the audience as shown
by frequent and loud applause. The
Pied Piper of Hamlin, illustrated with
stereopticon views, was recited by Miss
Eva Hilton. Miss Felice Hilton spoke
very entertainingly of Egypt, whilst
some views of that country were
thrown upon the screen. The music,
both vocal and instrumental during
the evening. was of very high .order.
The opening duet, on three pianos, was
the Imperial March and was played
by Miss Libbie Taylor Eva Hilton,
Myrtle Hample, Nathalie Sandoval and
Cassie Cross. The closing duet on
three pianos was by the Misses Felice
Hilton, Libbie Taylor, Eva Hilton, Ma
thalie Sandoval, Belle Quick and Stella
Bergere. The song my New Bonnet
was sung by Miss Frances Hinojos.
The choruses and orchestral selections
were greatly enjoyed. In the audience
were noted Archbishop Bourgade, Bish-
Iop Pitaval and a number of the clergy
and Christian Brothers.

OFFICIAL MATTERS

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
The territorial board Of equalization
will meet in this city on Monday. the
18th of January, 1903. At this meeting
the valuation of railroad, telegraph,
telephone, and express company prop
erty in the territory for assessment
purposes for the year 1908 will be fixed.
IRRIGATION COMMISSION.
The territorial irrigation commission
will meet here next Saturday ait the Of
flee of the secretary, Colonel George w.
Knaebel A number of applications
will be acted upon.
Observation-Disclosures
this enterprise is due in large measure
ITO the efforts Of the Mesilla Valley
Chamber Of Commerce and, particular
ly, among it's members, Ito Attorney r.
l.. Young.
The Chamber of Commerce has also
initiated another good enterprise, viz,
to secure an appropriation from the
national irrigation fund for the pur-
pose Of sinking for arteslan water, or
otherwise developing the underground
supply Of water, in this valley for irri-
CATION purposes. 1t is the opinion Of
many well informed people that it is
quite within the realm of probability to
secure artesian water in this valley. 1t
would be great boon.
The district court officials are now
holding court in Luna county. Judge
Parker will probably take trip east
as soon as his labors there are conclud-
ed. He is one of the hardest worked Of
ficials in the territory.
The great snow storm of LAST week
has pus farmers and catblemen in the
best of humor. The fall of snow was
about six inches. 1t has enabled the
former to plow for his winter wheat
and 1T assures good grass to the latter
Las Cruces is about to inaugurate a
system of street lights. The town will
also make an effort to keep it's streets
sprinkled and clean hereafter. All this
is due to the energy infused by the
Chamber of Commerce. There are
many "lungers'' in and about the town.
The mail service has been horribly bad
for the past month; the trains are new
er on time; good size kick to the
postoffice department is in prospect, IL
this state of affairs keeps up much
longer. The weather at present is
warm and pleasant and more rain or
snow Is within view.
