THE GIBSON.

a yug of water was cut in the Glib
SOM exploration last Tuesday night
fhat has caused suspension of work
at Abe property and may result in the
pern7Anent suspension OF work at the
property. The water was cut IN
4ift that was being run towards the
! boiler pit and seemed to come in two
sections. The first inflow was tapped
in the early evening, about nice
O'Clock and it was sufficient to Keep
the pumps to their capacity until
along about three clock when u reat
inrush Of water came that completely
drd1 ped out the mine. The inflow
was SO great that the miners had to
hurry TO escape. The mine was
equipped with only two small pumps
\ as it had been a singulary dry property
heretofore and no thought was had Of
the sudden inflow that came.
In connection with this property the
outlook has not been the most EN-
couraging for the past year The
Oliver Mining company has been at
WORK on the exploration for nearly four
years. They have just enough en-
enlargement to keep them working
in hope that the lunches of ore that
they found quite plentifully scattered
throughout the formation, would
consolidate into one respectable lens.
Two shafts have been sunk and carried
to depth of 800 feet but the ore
didn't consolidate. The property was
visited last week by Supts. Davidson,
OF the Menominee range and Mclean.
OF the Gogebic range The gentlemen
made thorough inspection OF the
property and ordered a careful and
complete survey Of the property. AS
these were the fore runners OF the
abandonment of the other properties OF
the Oliver company on this range IL
was considered significant by all.
What effect the recent occurrance
will have on the future Of the proper
ty is unknown.

A visit to the Baltic this week
showed that operations at that property
were being pushed forward at rapid
rate. Cars are being loaded not only
from the stock pile but 800 or 600 tons
OF ore are also being hoisted daily
from the shaft and dumped into the
cars. II is predicted that $50, 600 tons
OF ore will be shipped from this mine
this season. Plans dire already well

new mines, on this range, their Troy,
Utica and Albany. Troy is in section

properties. Troy recently entered the
shipping list. II is an ore body of
moderate size and of a depth of about
100 feet Considerable difficulty was
experienced in opening the property
on account Of quicksand and water,
which delayed shaft sinking for
months. There are now four pumps
on the property, one Of them large

ACTION ALREADY TAKEN.
Bureau Of immigration Will Issue a
Large and Comprehensive
Volume.

The following letter has been received
from Delegate b. S. Rodey regarding a
new method of advertising the resourc-
es of the territory:
Albuquerque, N. NJ, May IL, 1908.
"Colone Max. Frost, Santa Fe, N. M,
1t has been in my mind for some time
to write to you, as secretary of the Bu-
reau of immigration, about an idea
that my experience in Washington
brought to my mind. I found that the
literature published by the Bureau of
immigration was of immense aid to me
in Washington, and distributed a vast
amount Of it in answer to letter and
personal inquiry made of me there, and
I am sure it has done the territory a
whole lot of good
"The idea I have is that if your Blu
reau could get up large book, nearly
as large as the governors last report,
and fill it with synopt 'aal statements OF
New Mexico's resources, institutions,
conditions, and with statistics regard
ing the territory generally, and sand
wich in whole lot of half tone full
page pictures of all the public buildings,
public schools, mining plants, cattle
and sheep herds, railways, churches,
numbering plants, city streets, ETC., 1t
would be in compact form and be very
attractive for public distribution, and
of irE
would be better than the small fine
print pamphlets which your Bureau
publishes about every county. OF
course, there might be separate vol
umes or pamphlets, such as your pam
phlets entitled Mines and Mining
Climate is Fate etc. I submit the
idea to you for what it is worth.
"Half tone pictures of all our educa-
tional institutions, beginning with the
University, and going down through
them all, including the public schools OF
every city in the territory, and then a
synopsis of our tax collections for
schools, our teachers, the amount paid
them, etc, all in large type, would have
great weight, in my opinion, with peo-
pie who would not read fine print and
long articles.
II appreciated the lack of such a
book as that many times during the
two sessions of the 57tf congress
When undertook to send any person
the literature Of your Bureau, and also
the governors report, and the reports
of our several institutions, and of our
superintendent of education, as well as
all the small pamphlets, it made toe
large n bundle, and, of course, was not
read half as extensively as single
book gotten up in the way indicated
would be. What do you think of the
idea? Sincerely yours,
s'B. s. RODEY."
This matter has already been consid-
cred and acted upon by the Bureau OF
immigration. At the last meeting. the
secretary was directed to prepare the
COPY for just such book as is sugges'
ted and it will be fully and well illustra'
ted. This book will be prepared this
summer and will be issued in plenty OF
time for use when congress meets ir
the fall and it will also be distributed
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at st. Louis.

DEATH FROM STRAN6uLATlOn.
Thorough Post Mortem Examination Of Acacio
Crespin Showed no Bruises.

Acacio Crespin, who was found hang
ing in the wine cellar at 4. A. Miera's
fruit ranch near Corrales, came to his
death from strangulation caused by the
rope around his neck. Such Is the
decided opinion after most thorough
post mortem examination by DR.. D. H.
earns and DIR. P. G. Cornish of Albu-
querque, The question now is whether
the hanging was done by Crespin or by
Others. The neighbors fatty refuse to
believe 1t was case of suicide and are
convinced 1t was murder.
The two physicians went over every
inch of the body and could find no other
possible cause of death. There was
excessive congestion of blood in the neck
and head and the vertebrae of the neck
were dislocated. The stomach was care
fully examined for trace of poison but
none was found. There was no blood
and nothing to indicate that he had
been assaulted. There were no marks
Of struggle and the arms were up
raised as though he had attempted to
seize the rope.
