SURIGAO WAS RELIEVED.
Captured by Ladrones Sunday But Foreigners
We're Not Injured.

| Manila, March 24.-The town of Sur
| igao, in the northwestern part of the
Island of Mindanao, which was captur-
ed Sunday by Ladrones, was relieved
today The American officials and for
eigners We're found to be safe. Eighty
Ladrones, led by ten escaped convicts,
participated in the attack on Surigao.
They had 20 rifles and 40 bolos and sue
ceeded in surprising and rushing the
constabulary barracks and stampeding
the constabulary. Inspector Clark was
killed at the first rush. The Ladrones
captured so rifles. The American off,
cials, the women and the foreigners
sought refuge in the government build
ing, where Treasurer Kelly, a former
Indian scout, assumed command. The
defenders of the building were armed
with shot guns and refused the demand
of the Ladrones to surrender. They held
out until the town was relieved today
by a force of constabulary sent from
Tacloban. The Ladrones fled at the
approach of the constabulary. Three
companies of United States infantry
will reach Surigao tomorrow and then
probably will start in pursuit of the
Ladrones.

The STEMS Pass mining camp In
tivity than ever before in the history of
the camp. Several mines and prospects
which have lain idle for months are
now being worked and shipments to the
Ell Paso smelter are made almost daily.
The Beck mine belonging to the Nat
ional Gold ard Silver Mining Company,
has put a large force of men to work
and is working it's property on large
scale. A new boiler, pump and hoist
ing machinery are being installed.
The recent advance in lead will cause
erations within the next three months.
Four men are employed on the Nc
Kinley mine at Burros, Grant county,
sinking on the shaft. A depth of As feet
has been attained and number of
stringers of high grade ore have been
encountered. The first shipment is to
be made on April Is. The Mckinley is
an extension of the st. Louis vein. The
owners are r. p. Thompson and DR.. o.
J. Westlake.
Charles r. Smith has been appointed
superintendent and general manager Of
the Wilson Mining and Milling Com
pany at STEMS Pass. The property of
the company includes n ten stamp mill
and a number of claims including the
famous Volcano mine. There is enough
ore in that mine to run the mill three
years. The ore carries gold ana silver
avera ging 50 a ton in gold and is free
milling. Pan-amalgamation is used.
Mr.. Wilson is going over the old ma
chinery and is putting In new hoists.

GROWING ALAMOGoRD0.
A New Industry-A Building Material as Good
as Stone and as Cheap as Adobe.

The Otero County Advertiser recorded
eight births at Alamogordo during last
week. 1t is no wonder the city is grow
ing.
John Meacham and John Turner, both
colored had an alteration last week,
and Meacham took shot at Turner.
Meacham was held under 5000 bond for
the grand jury.
The Ancho cement plant is a success.
o. D. Warnock announces that he is
prepared to put up buildings out Of the
product and has received the contract
from Carl Rubin to erect a 7-room resi-
dence and from DR.. Gilbert to erect a
2-story business block. The material IS
cheap, durable, will not scale, can be
given an imitation stone finish and any
coloring desired. 1t is manufactured
out of Apcho gypsum which is a little
heavier than the White Sands gypsum.
A road is being built from Alamogor-
do to the White Sands. 1t will be u
miles long. The plant for treating the
gypsum is nearing completion. The
company has already on hand orders
for 1000 tons of gypsum. The capacity
of the plant will be 20 tons day.
Owing to lack of court funds there
will be no district court at Alamogordo
this spring.
Pearl Goss, aged 8 years, son OF Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Goss, died of spinal
trouble at Alamogordo.
The Alamogordo Lumber Company
received a new boiler last week. 1t has
closed down mill No. l and is now run
ming No. 2. Setting the new boiler and
making repairs on mill No. 1, will take
about three weeks when it will resume

property produces very rich ore, an6
was years ago worked at substantial
profit for the silver contents of it's ores
ami the copper boom Of several years
ago called attention to the fact that
the combined gold, silver and copper
values of the ore were so large that a
lease could be worked to advantage,
and from the claims of two leasing
companies arose the trouble which re-
suited in the shutdown this winter.
The Bromide has paid it's way and
yielded a profit besides, through all the
development to date, and as the ore In
of it than before, it is certain that 1t
will yield better returns than ever.
Among other properties which will
begin work as soon as the snow per-
mits, are the Strawberry, owned by the
New Mexico Gold and Copper Mining
Company of Milwaukee, Wis. The
Strawberry has fine plant of machin-
cry, including air drills and pumps, and
shows a good vein of copper ore in the
main shaft, and in addition cross-cut
is being run from the 100 foot level
north to cut an immense dixie of low
grade free milling gold ore, known To-
cally as the sugar quartz and it is the
intention of the company to open this
vein with the cross-cut ard erect a
stamp mill nearby to handle the ore, as
mill-runs and thorough tests have
shown that the ore values can be read
lily extracted and will pay good profits
The Continental, where the rich body
of bearing lead ore was found
late last fall, will also begin work very
soon and as it is controlled by the same
parties who own the Tampa, it is safe
to presume that before the season is
and paying mine, as the vein has been
opened now to a depth to insure it's per-
manency and probable value.
In addition to the properties mention
ed there are many other prospects and
several of them with good showings and
development, on which work is being
carried on, as we'll as the usual amount
of assessments and smaller work by the
prospectors. Other companies which
will also begin work in a short time are
the Belle Royal, the Pennsylvania, the
Admiral, and the Bromide Copper and
Gold Mining Companies, all of which
have properties of merit and on which
much development has been done, TAX
en- all in all the Bromide district is a
pride to New Mexico in the energy and
business ability displayed by the COM
panies interested and the aggressive
manner in which development has been
pushed in the four years since the camp |
was first organized and it is now cer-
tainty that within a very few years it |
will rank as highly as any camp in the
territory in the values of its output In
gold, silver, copper and possibly lead
ore values.

DEPOSITS or
\ HEMA7|7E IRON ORE
Discovered by F. A. Jones and Sold
to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company.
BRANCH RAILROAD TO
Be BUILT FROM COYOTE

At the north end of the Oscura Noun
tains in the southeast corner of Socorro
county is situated section about ten
miles square wherein there are found
extensive and easily worked deposits of
hematite iron ore running about 60 per
cent to the ton. The location is about
Ii or IS miles west of the Ell Paso and
Rock Island Railway and about 80 miles
southeast of Progreso, the county seat
Of the new county Of Torrance. These
deposits were discovered by Prof. F. A.
Jones, formerly director of the New
Mexico School of Mines, and now in
charge Of the Geological and Mining
Census of the Territory under the di-
rection of the Geological Survey of the
Department of the Interior.
The section is known as the Jones'
Iron mines and the New Mexican I'M
derstands from reliable source that
all of Professor Jones claims acquired
by location, discovery and assessn ant
work have been sold and transferred to
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
which corporation in due time expects
to run branch railroad from Coyote
station to these iron ore fields. The
consideration is believed to have been
quite handsome and will make Profess
sor Jones, comparatively speaking, a
wealthy man. The company now has
a store on the premises and is employ
ing from 20 to 80 miners to do develop
ment work and prospecting. Whenever
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
gets ready for active business, it can
safely be asserted that a large and
mining camp will ensue,
and that, more than probable, foun-
dries and rolling mills will be construc-
ted and operated there. Coal in abun-
dance can be brought down by the
Santa Fe Central from it's extensive
coal fields near Clark in the southern
part of this county, or from the Daw-
SON coal fields in ColfaX county by the
Dawson railroad and the Ell Paso and
Rock Island road.

ANOTHER INSPECTING PARTY.
Senator's and Representatives Will Visit the
Territories Next Month.

lerIuOIleS NcAt WUuth'
The Washington Post says: Hon.
William Randolph Hearst, whose can
didacy for the Democratic presidential
nomination for 1904, is we'll advanced. is
preparing to lead the fight for the ON
nibus statehood bill in the next House
of Representatives of which he will be
member. At his own expense, Mr..
Hearst is getting up party OF senators
and representatives to make a tour or
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico
next month. While the exact personnel
of the party is not yet known, it is Mr.
Hearst's desire to have as his guests
both Democrats and Republicans. Dele
gates Rodey of New Mexico and Flynn
of Oklahoma, have been asked to pre-
pare a list of Republicans whom they
think would like to make the trip, and
the Democratic members of the party
will be invited personally by the host.
The object of this trip is to acquains
thoroughly and in detail, the friends OF
the omnibus statehood bill with the
statehood. 1t is Mr.. Hearsts belief that
qualifications of the three territories for
this will do more to advance the inter-
ests of the territories in the next con-
gress than anything else that could be
done. He will accompany the party
since he is already familiar with the
conditions in the territories from per-
sonal contact. His property interests
are large in both Arizona and New
Mexico"
