over ONE THOU
SAND FAMILIES
There Will Be a Great Exodus From
Oklahoma and Southern Kansas
to New Mexico During the
Present Season.
PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS
ARE SELLING THEIR FARMS

Charles Chapman of Hobart Okla,
is in town for the purpose of making a
homestead entry on a tract about one
mile south of Moriarty station on the
Santa Fe Central Railway. Mr.. Chap
man has just completed a trip of $50
miles in length from Hobart to this
city overland and in a wagon. 1t took
him 81 days to do so. He found Es-
tancia plains the best section of coun-
try he passed through and has conclu-
ded to settle there. He Informed a rep
resentative of the New Mexican that
this fall at least 1000 families from
Oklahoma and Southern Kansas will
come to New Mexico as the promised
land to make homestead desert land
entries, and that many of them will
come to the Estancia plains. The lit
arature distributed by the Bureau OF
in those sections has at
tracted the attention of farmers to
New Mexico and they are coming to
see for themselves and to stay. He
expects this movement to begin as
soon as this seasons crops are gathered
and many of the farmers there have
already sold their farms preparatory to
coming to New Mexico. He came via
Portales, Roswell and Torrance and
along the Santa Fe Central Railway.
The country for ten miles around Por-
tales has been taken up by homestead
ars and more are coming in. He thinks
he will be able to raise abundant crops
on the homestead he will take up near
Morarty and will dig several wells as
soon as he returns there from here.
There is an abundance of water which
aan be had all the way from rs to IS
'eet by the digging of wells on the Es-
.ancia plains. On his way from Pro-
greso north he noticed quite a number
If new frame houses going up on
claims squatted on by homesteaders.

The Population Of New York City is Increasing
Very RaDidly

New York, May 12.--Statistics COM
piled by the board of health shows that
the population of the City of New
York is increasing at a remarkably
rapid rate. The births reported in
Manhattan borough alone during the
first four months of the present year

the total number of births in the city
was S1,721 and the birth rate in each
thousand of population was 1882. Last
year the births were 5,643 and the rate
1888. The city has also gained enor-
mously by foreign immigration. TAX
ing all things into consideration, the
board of health has estimated that the

census in 1900, to 3,732,3 800 at present.

Mines With a
Wonderful Future
Great Things Are Expected of the Property of
the Arizona. Colorado Copper Belt and Gold
Mining and Milling Company.
A NEW PUMPING PLANT WILL BE INSTALLED

Colonel r. NJ. Force, whose headquar-
ters are in this city and who is manag-
er of the Arizona Colorado Copper Belt
and Gold Mining and Milling Company
of Globe, Ariz., is in the city en- route
to Denver, Where he will purchase ad-
ditional machinery and steam pump
ing plant for the mines Of the company.
Concerning that district Colonel Force,
and throughout this territory, said to a
New Mexican reporters:
THE Arizona Colorado Copper Belt
and Gold Mining and Milling Company
now has it's big double compartment
shaft down to water and a heavy
steam hoist pump boiler and tank will
be installed in the soonest possible
time, the excavating and grading at the
big working shaft having already been
done preparatory to the installation of
the machinery mentioned This COM
pany owns a group of II mining
claims, covering an area of over $40
acres, three miles from the little city
of Globe, Ariz, accessible by a level
wagon road. 1t would be difficult for
the mind to conceive of mining prop
erty in it's incipiency that is richer
than the group. The ore runs in cop
per, gold and silver, copper predomina-
ting, some of the veins carrying heavy
lead values, others run in tin and ura-
mum. OF the many veins on these
claims, the company owns 5000 feet on
)ne vein that is very large and crops
1ut on the surface in several places, ex-
posing red oxide of copper ore running

FLEW HIGH FOR A WHILE
Negotiated for a Ranch at Sl50,000
But Could Not Raise $50.

A few days ago w. A. Louks of
hotel in Roswell. Shortly thereafter
the rumor was current on the streets
of the town that Louks had purchased
the L. +. D. ranch near that place. The
ranch contains about 1,125 acres of land
and the purchase price was stated to
be $15O,OO0. Louks said that his asso-
ciates in the east and himself would
put considerable money in the enter
prise and would raise nothing but
high grade cattle.
The people of Roswell regarded
Louks with a feeling akin to reverence
for it was felt that his presence and
purchase of the property in question
meant much to the town. The land"
lord of the Shelby hotel did not have
of the citizens and when Louks left for
Captain without paying his board bill,
which had reached the sum total of
500, mine host had warrant issued for
LouhS although Lie ldltcl Ildu SldlCd
that he was going to the town to look
after his mining interests there and
would return shortly. Louks was over
hauled about 12 miles out of Roswell
by a constable and taken back to the
town. His bond was fixed at 5000 but.
some of the business men signed his
bond and paid his board bill. They did
not want the capitalist to be discour-
aged. Louks was grateful for their
kindness and stated that he would re-
Eceive $16O,OO0 from home the following
day and that they would be reimbursed,
That night Louks decamped and has
not been seen or heard from since.
While he had practically accepted the
terms of the management of the L. F.
D. ranch for it's purchase, he had not
paid anything on it. Some of the peo-
pie with whom he came in contact
think Louks is partly insane and Ia
boring under the hallucination that he
was wealthy while others believe that
ne is merely a fakir.

PATRIOTISM IN JAIL.
The Roswell Prisoners Organized
Court and Gave Won Stofen
a Lashing,

A German stating that his name was
Carl Won Stoffen was arrested in Ros-
we'll last week and placed in Jail be-
cause he had imbibed too freely of la
ger and had consequently grown dis
orderly. He was amusing himself by
cursing Uncle Sam and every Amer
lean institution he could think of when
an officer escorted him to justice
court where he was fined IS and costs,
in default of which he was placed in
Jail. This did not put damper on the
ardor with which he assailed American
institutions. There were quite num-
ber of prisoners in the Jail and it was
decided to organize Jail court" Won
Stoffen was ordered before the bar and
the presiding officer informed the Ger
man that he was charged with SANDER
ing the American people and American
institutions. Won Stoffen said he was
not guilty but the jury, which had
been picked from among the lawless
citizens within the Jail, decided other
wise. Sentence was passed on the pris-
oner by the Judge whose name is Sam
uel Bruce, in the following language:
you are a disgrace to Emperor WILL
lam and the Fatherland, and sentence
you to receive so lashes." The jury seiz-
ed hold of the prisoner while one of the
court officials administered the lashes
with leather belt belonging to one of
the prisoners. There was no joke
about the '.jail court" and the strap
When the work had been completed
the court was declared adjourned and
the offender was quiet thereafter ex-
cept for an occasional lament at the
soreness caused by the lashing.

Voedzker, foreman in the Meyer and
Anson Iron Works, who refused to &c
on strike when the others quit, was
set upon by three men while on his way
to work, was badly cut anu rendered
unconscious. A Brooklyn carpenter
who had been warned to quit, was
knocked down with hammer while
on his way to work. One contractor
had 400 men at work in the places Of
the strikers on the upper west side
section of the subway in Manhattan

office. 1t will be remembered that upon
the organization OF the county of San
doval, the county commissioners APP
pointed Alfredo Sandoval sheriff of the
new county. A writ of quo warranto
proceedings was instituted against AL
fredo Sandoval and it was decided by
the court of the second judicial district
that the appointee was ineligible to the
Office and that a vacancy existed. The
question then arose who had the power
to fill the vacancy, the governor or the
board of county commissioners. Soici-
tor General Bartlett held that the gov
ernor had the power and right to ap-
point in cases OF vacancy brought about
by death, resignation or otherwise
but that in this case, under the ruling
of the court, and it being an original
vacancy, the county commissioners
should appoint under and by virtue of
the act of the 35th legislative assembly
establishing the county. Accordingly,
the county commissioners of Sandoval
county made the appointment. The
new sheriff is son of Hon. M. S. Otero
OF Albuquerque. former delegate to con-
gress, and is young man of good edu-
cation and well and favorably known in
central and northern New Mexico. The
New Mexican understands that EmiIi-
ano Sandoval, cousin of Alfredo San
dova, who was dispossessed of the Of
fee, was an applicant for the appoint
ment. Higinio Cordova, another citizen
of Sandoval county, was also candi-

, from Is to 30 per cent copper and this
ore carries good gold values. Often the
free gold in the red oxide ore can be
seen with the naked eye. The claims in
the immediate vicinity of the big shaft
have each several large veins and
stringers running through them length
wise of the claims, and at true water
level all of these veins and stringers
will be united and form one mammoth
body of rich ore. This company has
now passed the experimental stage
and in Il reasonable time expects to
have mine worth many dollars.
Many mining men of large experience
have asserted that the Globe mining
district is one of the richest districts in
Arizona.
1T is certainly very large and a
very rich district The Old Dominion
Mining Company at the north edge of
Globe has proven up the district. It's
main shaft is down 1000 feet and at
true water level encountered large bo-
per cent copper, the biggest average
for a big body of any other ore in the
United States. This clearly establishes
permanency. And the Arizona Colorado
Copper Belt and Gold Mining and Mil
ling Company's property is only about
one mile from the Old Dominion and
has the same formation and indication,
the same character of ore Is in the main
great copper belt and with develop
ment will become fully as big a mine
as that of the Old Dominion which to-
day is probably worth $4,000, ,000.'

adjacent to the capitol grounds that will
in the near future greatly add to the
appearance of thu premises. A row of
American maple and linden trees has
lately been set along the walk on Don
Gaspar avenue to the east OF the build
ing and Judge N. B. Laughlin has placed
a row of the trees on the east side of the
same street adjacent to his resi- ience.
The American maple is one OF the finest
shade trees there is, and this street will,
in the course of few years. be the
prettiest driveway in the city. These
trees spread and have very bushy top.
As Don Gaspar avenue is not very wide
at the point in question, the trees will
in the course of decade form an arch
over the street. A presSed-trick walk
is soon to be constructed on Don Gaspar
avenue the full length of the capitol
grounds and a walk will also be con-
structed on Manderield street from Don
Gaspar avenue to Galisteo street. A
row of the American NAPLES will be set
along Manderfield and Galisteo streets
later, but this may not be done during
the present season. The trees on Don
Gaspar avenue are protected by frame
guards recently erected That part of
the grounds containing no grass has
been pIowed up and will be leveled off
and sowed in grass at once.
