Bernardo FRI yre, the WeII-known

Bernard Frayre, one of the most
noted of the many famous prospectors
of the southwest, is very ill in this
city and his recovery is question,
The old prospector is over SO years
of age and this is not in his favor.
There are few men who were more
favorably known in the mining cir
cles of the southwest than Frayre.
His powers were the wonder of all
and his passing on claim was taken
without question by those who knew
him. He was the discoverer OF the
famous Clayton mine in Arizona and
it is said that he has located more
valuable mineral property than any
one man in this section. He was born
in the town of San Pablo, Mexico, and
came to this Territory many years
ago. His vitality was remarkable and
ne continued to live the life of q pros.
pector up to the time of taking tol
bed, which has been only few days
since. It is thought that the trip that
he made less than q, fortnight ago
from Berna!illo to this city was in q
measure responsible for the serious
turn that the malady has taken. This
trip Was made in small wagon ana
Frayre made it alone.

ZUNPS BIG DAM.
Survey Completed and Construction
Work Has Been Ordered lnsti-
tuted by the Department
AdrianODle

John B. Harper of Durango, super
intendent of irrigation for the Pueblo
Indians in New Mexico, is in the city
and is registered at the Claire. When
seen by a representative OF the New
Mexican he spoke of the work now be-
ing done at the pueblos of Cochiti and
San Ildefonso, where the irrigation
systems have been more or less dam
aged by this summers floods and OF
the work at Zuni where the govern
ment has ordered the construction OF
the big dam. Mr.. Harper said that
the surveys for the work at Zuni were
made about a year ago, had been
approved and that the actual work on
the construction of the dam had been
ordered instituted by the department
This work will begin as soon as the
necessary machinery and equipment
can be secured and delivered.
Though he could not say definitely
Just when the work would be inauguI-
ated, Mr.. Harper was of the opinion
that it would be early this fall an.
that the work would be rushed to
completion. 1t is thought that about
two years will be required to complete
it. The plans call for a reservoir pit
10000 acre feet capacity and this will
afford the greatest help to the Zunis.
1t is really the first thing in the way
of providing dependable water sup
ply for them that has been done.
At Cochiti and San Ildefonso the
systems have suffered to greater or
less degree because of the high wa
ters this year, and while in neither
case have the systems failed to afford
the necessary water supply yet there
is much to be done in the way of re-
pairing them. For this purpose the
department has appropriated tho
sums of $4,000 and $4,000 respectively,
The most repair work will be needed
at San Ildefonso where the river has
changed it's course. All the repair
work at the two pueblos is expected
to be completed this fall.

TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN WOOD.
Served Five Years in Regular Army
First-CIass Record.

PACIFIC BRANCH: National Mil. Home.
August 20, 1908.
Editor Santa Fe New Mexican:
Sir-Capt. Erastus W. Wood, an hon
nored member Of Encampment No. 1873,
Union Veteran Legion, died in the hos
pital home August IS, 1908.
Captain Wood enlisted at San Fran
cisco, CAL, August l6, 1861, as second
lieutenant, Co. H, lst Cal. Inf. Vols;
promoted first lieutenant Co. A, March
1, 1868; and to captain March 2, 1865;
and was discharged September 27, 1866,
at Santa Fe, N. M.
Captain Wood was a native of New
York, aged II years, and pioneer resi-
dent of this state. He saw hard service
during the campaigns in northwestern
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, and
for faithful and meritorious services was
appointed aide-de-camp to Major-Gen.
James H. Carleton, U. s. A., command
ing the Department of New Mexico. In
1862 his regiment formed part Of the
organization known as the California
Column that marched from Camp La
than to Fort Bliss, Texas, a distance Of
near 1000 miles, and raised the Stars
and Stripes at Fort Quitman, Texas,
August 22, 1862, recapturing a large
quantity of United States government
property that the defeated rebel army
was compelled to abandon.
The march of these troops over the
vast desert country was accomplished
under the greatest difficulties, owing to
the intense heat, absence of water and
supplies, and the hcstilities Of the 1ndi'
ans and Confederates that invaded Ari-
zona and New Mexico under General
Sibley in 1862. Forty.one years have
elapsed since that march was made and
At that time 1t was considered impracti-
cable Ct accomplishment. The endur-
ance of these troops was severely taxed,
however, but the high character of the
men of the California Volunteers and
the skill of their commander carried
them over with but little loss. The
marches were made by small detach-
ments, generally at night. Wells at
suitable intervals having been dug on
the Yuma and Colorado deserts by the
engineer corps sent in advance, and the
"journeys of death" were passed In COM
parative safety, although the men snf-
fered from intense heat.
Respectfully,

VACANT
JUDGESH|P
Attorney General fayofs Judge
SuIzbacher on Account OF
Porto Rico Record.
OVER MANY PROTESTS
Position May Not Be Filled Until Pres
ident Roosevelt Returns to
Washington.

A recent Washington dispatch to
the Denver Republican says:
"It is the general belief in Wash
ington that Louis Sulzbacher, former
ly of Las Vegas, and now Federal
Judge in Porto Rico, is to be appoint
ed associate justice Of the Supreme
Court of New Mexico and as such to
act as District Judge Of the Fifth Ju
dicial District.
I, "This belief is based upon the fact
that Judge Sulzbacher is favorabE,
endorsed by Attorney General Kno,.
It may be recalled that Judge Sulz-
bacher was in Washington at the tinn
of Judge McMillan's removal, Du'
that he adroitly announced that she
was not a candidate for the New Mes
leo judgeship as soon as he Learned
that the President intended to appolnl
Judge Smith of Michigan.
"If the President appoints Judge
Sulzbacher it will be over the protest
of many active New Mexicans,. as
charges are now on file alleging that
he is no longer a citizen OF New
Mexico, but owns property and votes
in Kansas City
Attorney General Knox recognizes
that Judge Sulzbacher has made q
creditable record in Porto Rico anf
endorses him largely for that reason
but he regards him as New Mexica
C,11n ho ohnr Cti1l
property in the Territory.
Delegate Rodey has advised the de-
partment that he will oppose Suiz
bachers appointment as a resident =
New Mexico and he declines to regard
Sulzbacher as such. When Mr.. Rodey
has been pressed to recommend some
one man for this judgeship he has
failed to respoId, declining to comm.
himself on the ground that 1t w.'u A.
weaken his strength among the friends
of other candidates.
Some mention is made OF Frank
Clancy of Albuquerque, and A. A.
Freeman of Carlsbad. 1t is not be-
lieved either will receive the appoint
ment, but that Clancy's chances are
better than those of Freeman.
ut is probable the President will
make no appointment until he returns
to Washington this fall"
The above contains a number OF in
accuracies and statements which are
not facts. 1t is true that Judge Sulz-
bacher is a candidate for the position
and has been recommended by Uni
ted States Senator Stephen B. Elkins.
1t is doubtful if he has any New Mea
leo recommendations. Frank w. Clan
cy, Esq, of Albuquerque, and Judge
A. A. Freeman Of Carlsbad, are not at
all candidates. These latter are Judge
w. H. Pope of Santa Fe, Capt. w.
C. Reid of Roswell, w. E. Kelly, Esq,
of Socorro and R. M. Turner, ESQ.,, OF
Silver City. 1t is said that Captain
Reid is no longer in the race, but this
statement cannot be verified at this
time by this paper On the other
hand, the New Mexican has been CIV
en- to understand that Judge Pope has
very strong recommendations from
leading Republicans and citizens Of
the Territory. The people OF New
Mexico are not at all hankering after
an outside appointment, but will be
well satisfied with the appointment OF
one of the home applicants and are
willing to have the aspirant who has
the best and strongest endorsements
from the Territory win.

times at an early hour this morning
by Mrs. A. F. Vincent at the latter's
home, 1868 Court Place. Mrs. Vincent

shooting is a mystery as neither
party will talk, although Mrs. Vincent
claims to have fired in self defense.
Eckdahl escaped from the house by
running and was not hit by the flying

Upon his accession to the Presi-

Today the new policy is in active op-

The Irrigation Congress will assem-

put forward at that time would scarce

Lou Dillon, who trotted the mile in

$500 CUP RACE.
Trophy Offered by Upton for Ocean
Race.


II has been decided that the Allan
tic Yacht club shall be custodian of
the $4,000 cup which Sir Thomas Lip.
ton has offered for an ocean race from
Sandy Hook lightship 70 the Needles
in May next. The cup will be chal.
lenge trophy and Sir Thomas hopes
that 1t will become an international
prize of prominence. He has been as.
sured by distinguished yachtsmen that
it will be raced for by famous ocean
going boats. The Atlantic Yacht club
will give three additional cups. one
of the value of $500, to the first
yacht finishing; one of $500, to so TO
the second yacht. and still another of
$500 to go to the third boat The re-
instructions OF the race will be few.
Each yacht will take its own time at
the finish, and all allowances barred.
Sir Thomas believes that the Ger.
man emperor may send his Meteor
over for the race and that the Amer
lean yachts probably will take part
in the Dover-Heligoland contest and
others at Kiel. 1t is believed also
that the king OF England will be in.
terested in the contest.
