Excitement In New Mexico.

Hillboro, N. M, Nov. 2S.-The
greatest excitement within the knowl-
edge of this part of New Mexico ex-
lists over a new gold field in Apache
canyon in the Cebolta mountains, east
of Hillsboro. News first came in less
than a week ago and nov 500 people
are on the ground and coming in fast
er every day. Some Mexicans, guided
by an old Mexican chart, have been
prospecting the locality for some
time and last Sunday struck what has
proved to be a bonanza. They secur-
ed a bottle OF gold nuggets as the re.
suit of a few hours work in cleaning
bed rock and blowing the dirt away
with their breath. Thanksgiving, the
district court judge and court Off
GERS spent in looking v e the field.
One day more on their return ended
court proceedings and they were off
again, as also are most of the jurors
and available population. A report
of a new bonanza strike more extern
sive than the first one is keeping up
the excitement.

NEW SCHEDULE IN EFFECT.
Pleasant Accommodations for Trav'

Pleasant Accommodations for Trav.
eIers-suggestions to Parents.
The new passenger and freight
schedule on the Montana railroad was
put into effect Monday morning, the
first passenger train leaving Lewis
town at $3.50 a. m, twenty minutes
late, but due to lack of water in the
city mains rather than to ~mismanage-
ment on the part of the company.
The train consisted OF engine No.
374. one combination baggage a and
smoker and one standard passenger
coach. with a private compartment
in the rear. Sixteen passengers were
aboard. among them Judge Cheadle.
Senator Waite and Representative
Hilger. en- route for Helena to attend
the extra session of the legislature.
The conductor said he would GER
tainly reach Lombard in time TO make
connections with the stub train for
Helena and Senator Waite expected
70 telephone his family from Helena
that evening, but fate willed other
wise. At Garneill a hot box on the
engine delayed them and the train
was an hour late out OF Harlowton.
On the summit the incoming train
was delayed by a sleet storm, which
made it almost impossible to climb
the hill. and their troubles held back
the passenger train. So It was after
eight o'clock when the first through
passenger train reached Lombard and
the passengers had to remain over
night.
The freight train. due here at s
o'clock Monday night, was delayed on
the Summit, as before stated, and did
not get in until 1880 a. m. Several
passengers were aboard a combina.
ton car being attached for their
accommodation.
This morning the freight train left
on time; fourteen empties were taken
out and some local shipments.
Last evening the passenger train
arrived at 500. three hours late,
Thirty passengers were aboard.
While all these trains have been
late. and consequently a considerable
disappointment TO the company. as
we'll as TO the passengers. II will be
noted that each train has done a lit
tie better than its predecessor and It
is reasonable TO believe that the i'm
proyemeut will continue until sched-
ule time Is made. especially If some
Of the engines now in the shops AT
Livingston. are gotten In use before
those now In operation are totally
disabled.
Vice President Harlow came
through from Helena and Chief En-
gineer Robertson from Harlowton last
evening.

And on behalf OF the public. as well
as the drivers OF the conyeyances
which now meet the trains. II might
be well for the company TO decide
whether all trains would stop at the
Main street crossing and there re-
ceive and let OF passengers. At pres.
ent It is a little discomcerting to go
to the Main street crossing to meet
the train and have il whiz past to the
depot and equally disappointing to go
to the depot and find that the pas
sengers were let OF at Main street.
The new schedule will be found in

MINING SUIT
IS INSTITUTED
G. A. Devine Begins an Action Against
Corbett, Bright and Robbins for
Interest in Claims.
SHARE FOR PROMOTING puRcHAs
Promised one-Third Interest in Blue
Jay, Silver Bow and Nipper-
Agreement Not Fulfilled.

G. A. Devine last Thursday insti.
tuted a suit in the district court
against Hal. S. Corbett and Mollie G..
Corbett, his wife, of Spokane. John
L. Bright, of Lewistown. and C. II. D.
Robbins. of Columbus, Ohio. for a
one-third interest in and to the Blue
Jay, Silver Bow and Nipper lode min
ing claims, all located in the North
Moccasin (unorganized) mining dis
trict.
The plaintiff alleges that on the
- day o.. 1901. he en-.
tered into an agreement with C. II. ID.
Robbins and John L. Bright by the
terms of which agreement the plain
tiff was to negotiate the purchase of
the three mining claims mentioned
above. Further, that, according to the
terms of said agreement. the plaintiff
was TO receive from said c. II. ID.
Robbins and John l.. Bright. as com
pensation for his services in negoti-
ating the purchase of said mining
claims, an undivided one-third interest
in and to each of said mining claims.
when the said sale should be consum-
mated.
The plaintiff further alleges that
on or about the first of November,
1901. he consummated the said pur-
chase and that a deed was made, ex.
ecuted and delivered, conveying said
claims from the owners to Bright and
Robbins. and that Robbins held the
interest of plaintiff ia and to said
mining claims in trust for the plain
tiff. Devine alleges that he frequent
ly demanded that the defendants,
Bright and Robbins, convey to him
his undivided one-third interest In the
claims. but that they refused and neg
lected to do so.
On the 18th Of December, 1902. de-
PENDANTS, Robbins and Bright, sold
sold the claims to Hal. s. Corbett, the
sale being consummated on the 14th
day of April, 1908. In consideration
for the three claims Hal. S. Corbett
and his wife. Mollie G.. Corbett. deliv-
cred to the defendants, Bright and
Robbins, their three certain promis-
sorry notes for sums aggregating &c.
500, due, two, four and six months
after date thereof and secured the
payment of the notes by taking a
mortgage on the claims. Plaintiff al
so alleges that Corbett had notice of
the rights an equities of the plaintiff
in and to the said claims when he
consummated the purchase.
Therefore the plaintiff demands
that the defendants be directed and
required to grant and convey to him
one equal undivided one-third inter-
est in and to the three claims, togeth-
er with the rights thereunto belong
ing, or in any wise appertaining, free
from any and all membranes Or
charges, liens or alterations of any
kind made, done or suffered by the
defendants or any of them.
Frank E. Smith is the attorney for
the plaintiff.
