ACTIVE WORK in
GRANT COUNTY MINES
. rom Every District and Camp Come Reports of
Preparations for and Expectations of An
Unusually Busy and Profitable -
Season.
CATTLE OWNERS WILL SHARE
in THE PROSPERITY

In Camp Fierro, the principal operator
Is the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany which ships a trainload of ore
daily to Pueblo. In the Burro Noun
tains, u miles from Silver City, there
is much activity due to the renewal Of
interest in copper teaching plant is
being erected by the Alessandro Min
ing Company which has developed its
property. In the Telegraph district an
experimental plant is being erected by
DR.. H. w. Brown. The turquoise mines
of the Azure Mining Company and of
Portertield Brothers are located here
and both are unusually prosperous.
They are making a great deal of mon
ey and the demand is steady and reg
ular.
| The Shakespeare camp in the Virgin
ia district is coming to the front ran
idly. Since the American Consolidated
! Copper Company has taken possession
or its recently acquired property, work
has been pushed. This is the company
of which A. II. Gibson of Santa Fe, Is
president. The American Consolidated
Copper Company purchased the plant
of the Lena Mining Company and has
put it in the Atwood mine. The COM
pany is now 300 feet in this mine and
the farther the company goes, the ore
increases in quantity and quality. In
1t is found gold, silver and copper ore
that averages s25 to the ton. The mill
which was owned by the Lena Mining
Company and which was located at
Lordsburg, was also purchased by the
American Consolidated Copper Com
pany and it is being remodeled.
teaching plant is being added to the
concentrator by the new owners.
The Aberdeen Company is preparing
for active work in it's copper holdings
as is the Michigan-New Mexico Com
pany. In STEMS Pass camp there is
advancement and activity and the
same feeling prevails in the Mogollon
camp in western SocofIo county, 81
miles from Silver City.
ANot dlOHe Ill mining Is t01S general
feeling of prosperity and good times.
Cattle are in fine condition and cat
tlemen expect to share largely In the
general prosperity. Many sales have
been made in which large numbers of
cattle changed hands and buyers are
going into Grant county from all d.
rections. Five thousand head Of cattle
We're recently contracted for to be sent
to Ouray, Colo. The range Is in good
condition and cattle owners expect to
make the spring delivery on May TO-
The dam which is expected to save
Silver City from heavy loss by flood in
the future, is nearing completion and
1t is believed it will prove effective. The
$500 appropriated by the legislature
for the relief of the flood sufferers
along the Mimbres, will prove of great
benefit as it will enable all of them to
purchase seeds and take advantage Of
the conditions of nature. Taken all in
all, Grant county has never looked for
ward to q more promising season.

SHAMROCK III IS
A DANGEROUS BOAT
When She Broke Tack She Was

SCARCELY LEFT 4 RIPPLE N the WATER

Gourock, Scotland, March 31.-The
Shamrock III and the Shamrock went
for trial spin today. Sunshine and a
light steady breeze had succeeded the
wild weather of last week and no time
was lost in getting the two Sham
rocks off. The Shamrock III slipped
through the water without leaving a
ripple and carried her head we'll up.
The first time the challenger broke
tack, it was apparent that by shorten

tiOn Case Tomorrow.

st. Louis, Mo-, March 31.-In the
United States circuit court today
Judge Adams announced he will tomor-
row hand down his decision in the Wa

Pinos Altos is recovering from its
temporary depression caused by the
suspension of the Pinos Altos Gold
Mining Company. The properties have

Much of the property in this gold
camp is owned by the Hearst estate.
The camp is located nine miles from
Silver City and the mill located in the
camp has been reopened and is now in
operation.
The Santa Rita mining properties

THE IDENTITY HAS
NOT BEEN PROVEN
Judge Murphy Declares the Testimony in the
BurdiCk Inxuest is Not Explicit Enough to
Say Definitely Who the
Murderer Is
SEVERE CRITICISM OF
MRS. HULL'S CONDUCT

Buffalo, March S1.--Judge Murphy
handed down his findings in the Bur.
dick inquest today and declared the
Identity of the murderer had not been
proved. The statement is an exhaust
i've review of the evidence brought out
during the inquest. Special attention is
given to the letters exchanged between
Arthur r. Pennell and Mrs. Burdick,
particularly the one containing a
threat against Burdick's life. Con-
corning these the judge says: "Alto-

ion, constitute a just ground of suspic-

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
A Supposed Defect In the Electrical Equipment
the Probable Cause.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 3l.--One dead,
seven not expected to live, two missing,
and seven others so badly burned and
disigured as to be almost unrecogniz-
able was the terrible result of IN explO-
sion in blast furnace II" of the Edgar
Thompson Steel plant of the Carnegie
company at Braddock, Pa, early today.
The name of the dead man is given as
John Smith, and is probably an anglized
form of his proper name. The others
have not yet been identified. As far as
can be learned the explosion was due to
a supposed defect in the electrical equip
ment of the furnace.

TRACK LAYING
THIS WEEK
Work on the Santa Fe Cen
tral Will Commence
on Friday.
WILL BEGIN At TORRANCE
Two Hundred and Thirty Cars Of
Rails Are on the Ground
or on the WAY.

Spring has advanced sufficiently t,
permit the pushing to completion tn,
construction work on the Santa F,
Central Railway. On Friday, Chic
Engineer A. G. Kennedy will commence
laying rails towards the north from
Torrance, as fast as the track laying
engine can do the work. There are K
cars Of steel rails at Torrance at pre-
sent. Seventy more carloads are on the
way to Kennedy and will arrive there
shortly when track laying will be COM
menced at that place. Ninety standard
gauge cars of steel rails will get to
Santa Fe over the Denver and Rio
Grande in the course of few days.
| The angle bars, fish plates and spikes
to push the work from this end are al
ready here and are being unloaded on
the switch from the Santa Fe on the
south side and the ties for this switch
have been laid all ready for the rails to
be spiked down. Yesterday Manager
w. s. Hopewell and c. F. Easley, Esq,
were out buying up additional ground
for the terminal facilities which will be
very large.
1t is understood that good market
has been found for every ton of coal
that wiz be mined at the Santa Fe
Central coal fields at Clark and Hagen.
Experts pronounce these fields the fin
est in the southwest and sufficient in
themselves to warrant the building of
a railroad system to carry the product
to market.
1t is reported at Pittsburg that Sena-
tor w. H. Andrews is there to finance
an important extension for the Santa
Fe Central, which will ultimately give
Santa Fe direct connection with Fort
Worth and Galveston, Texas. The first
link in this project is to be line from
Torrance to Roswell. General Frances
j. Torrance, one of the principal finan-
cial hackers of the Santa Fe Central,
may be at Torrance in a week or two
to look closer into this project. Frank
Dibert of the Santa Fe Central offices
in this city, is reported to have gone to
Estancia to place in readiness General
Torrances club house at that point for
the General and his party.
General Manager w. S. Hopewell is
pushing the completion of the road with
his characteristic energy and persis-
tence and it is believed, now that this
will result in completing the line for
traffic in the course of few months.
There have been many causes of un-
expected delays in the construction of
The road. 1t has been impossible to Sc
cure rails as soon as was expected on |
account of the orders in the mills |
ahead of the orders given by the COM
oany. There has been delay in ship |
ping the rails and there are now many |
cars on the road between Pittsburg, |
Ohio, and Joliet, Ills, the |
points from which the rails are shipp-
ID, and Torrance, Kennedy and this
,ity. 1t is believed that now they will
arrive so that the work can proceed
without further interruption.

were he alive Referring to Mrs. Hull,
Judge Murphy says: "The action of
Mrs. Hull on that morning (the morn
ing after the murder) and her testi-
me ny on the stand, has caused me
much thought and worry. To my mind
they are inconsistent with perfect
want of knowledge as to what had act
ually occurred. So little apparent feel
ing for the dead man, such an evident
desire to cover up the crime and no dis
position whatever to aid the authorities
in appre ending the murderer may be
explain 'ble, but has not been explain
ed"
