AN OLD SNAPPER

between them the tiny footprints Of
mice, | know pretty well what he was
looking for.
Amongst the other inhabitants Of
this pond are some huge swapping tur-
ties, whose age is the subject Of fire.
quent discussions at the nearest coun-
try grocery Some bear upon their
shells certain dates and marks, which
il is claimed were carved more than
so years ago. 1t is not often they are
SEEN but now and then one of the old
Williams will raise his great snake-like
head above the surface of the pond,
and blink a pair of the coolest, cruel
est eyes which ever disfgured the head
of a reptile. Nothing in the pond is
sacred to these hardened old sinners.
No doubt they live largely on fish, but
young muskrats and ducklings are often
jerked below the surface of the pond
TO rise no more, and wild mice, which
sometimes swim across, are foolhsrdy
to say the least.
Last June l was walking along the
bank of a little stream which flows
through a meadow and into a pond
when my attention was attracted by
the peculiar movement of a patch of
waving grass. 1t was easy 10 see that
the wind had little to do with it, so
ran over to investigate. In the middle
of a good-sized depression caused by
the flattening down of the grass, stood
giant swapping turtle, weighing so
pounds if an ounce, / should say and
with great horny jaws agape. ready for
business. l guessed that it was proba-
bly, female on her way to deposit her
eggs in the sand somewhere, so l de-
cided not to interrupt her. Instead, l
retired to a distance, and climbed /
tree, whence | had good view of the
meadow and the surrounding country,
The old lady snapper continued on her
way. lurching through the grass like
tramp steamer in a heavy sea, and
stopping now and then to raise her
head and look around In the course
of time she came out of the meadow
and into an old road with a sandbank
running along one side of it. 1his
bank seemed to be her destination, for
on one side of it she halted, and began
scraping a hole with her big behaved
front feer. She seemed to be in no par
ticular hurry, and as 1 was, l slipped
down the tree and left her to take her
own time. BY and by l returned, and
there she was raking the sand into the
hole, and the task was nearly done.
| waited until she had completed the
work, and as soon as she waddled
away, 1 began to do some digging my
self. Under some q inches of sand
came upon the eggs, % Of them, pure
white and as round as marbles. In
fact, they looked more like large white
alleys than anything else ] know of.
l covered them up again, and If they
were not discovered by a skunk or
some other animal which is fond OF
such dainties, they were probably

TEAM OF HUNGARIAN OXEN.

naturally been accustomed to makes
them most economical in their keep.
When not working they will, for eX-
ample, do well on a diet of maize
straw and chaff.
Cows of Hungarian breed, it must
be noted are poor mixers, SO much so
that the milk supply of the country is
to a large extent, obtained from ami
mails of foreign dairy breeds, mostly
Swiss or German. Hungarian cattle
must therefore, be regarded as draught
oxen pure and simple, and though
Hungary is a great horse breeding
country, still oxen are used alone for
draught, and reared for that purpose
as being more economical in cost OF
food as compared with the horse, and
having the advantage that they can
be fattened after use. The East Indies
and Africa are regions in which it is
probable that Hungarian cattle could
be we'll utilized. The points in favor
of the breed are that they are reared
under natural or semi-wild conditions
that their size, bulk and strength make
them good draught oxen, that they
thrive we'll on very poor fare, and
that they can resist disease better than
any other breeds. On the state farm
or domain of Mezohegyes team of
Hungarian oxen were found which
stood over II hands high, each animal
weighed over one ton, and each car
ried horns that we're six feet from tip
to tip, and this is often exceeded.
Teams Of oxen shod for road work
measuring 16 hands in height are q
frequent sight.

pourel kerosene on the dying embhrs,
causing an explosion. Her clothes took
lire and she rushed inta tNa yard calling

Ing nearby, heard the screams OF the
girl and ran to tn, rescue, winding

During conscious moments she con-
yersed with her mother and friends.

A slight rain has fallen here, twice

much encouraged. Acres of feed and
garden truck are being planted and bar
ring insects, always found in new coun-
try, the prospects are splendid for a
good yield.
Two new lumber yards from Fort

the present number to four.
The Methodist and Baptist congrega-

a credit to the town. They are to be
congratulated upon this good work.
The Presbyterian people are also re-
modelling their church
The cattle shipping season Is now fair
" on, 725 cars are here or on the way to
carry off the first shipments OF cattle.
In spite of the unusually heavy winter,
the cattle are in splendid condition.
Owing to the great amount of feed raised
here last year, the cattlemcn have been
able to feed heavily all winter and are
well paid for the trouble and expense.
Another farming community has
sprung up six miles west OF Bethel,
called Floyd; Floyd claims to have as

EDISON HEARD
FROM AGAIN
He Claims to Have Perfected His
Machine to Extract Gold From
the Sand and Gravel Of
Southern Santa Ee
County.
The MACHINE SAVES 98
PER CENT OF ALL THE GOLD

New York, N. Y, April 29.-Thomas
A. Edison has a scheme for extracting
gold from the immense low grade
quartz gravel beds in lower California,
New Mexico, Arizona and northern
Mexico Edisons system, which it is
claimed, has now reached working
basis, is by employing an air blast.
Experiments near Santa Fe, by Floyd
NJ Chapman, one of Edison's assist
ants, have produced a machine which
he claimed will save 9S per cent of the
gold in gravel.
1t was two years ago that the exper-
iments to extract the gold from the
placers on the Ortiz mine grant in
southern Santa Fe county, We're car
ried on. An experimental plant was
built at Dolores and was operated for
year by Floyd NJ. Chapman and 9TH
ers of Edison's assistants. The plant
was finally abandoned as the promises
of the machinery in the laboratory at
Edison's works in New Jersey were
not borne out by the actual test made
at Dolores.

THE "SCENIC ROUTE" ROAD.
Reasons Why Santa fe County Commissioners
WilgCommence Survey Immediately
Proposed Line - Work Must
Commence by May 18th.

County Commissioner Arthur Selig-
man, WAC was appointed committee
by the Board of County Commissioners
of Santa Fe county to look after all
matters connected with the survey OF
the "Sccnic Route" road between this
city and Las Vegas, has received let
ter from ] D. w. Veeder, Of Las Vegas,
| informing him that the writer had been
appointed committee of one to corre-
spond with him concerning the COM
mencement of the survey and work on
the s.Scenic Route road. The County
Commissioners of San Migu County
have appointed a committee of ten citi-
zens to have charge Of the matter, Mr..
Veeder being one Of them. lie informed
County Commissioner Scligman that IL
was thought in Las Vegas that the en-
gineers of the Santa Fe Railway system
couli be obtained to make the necessary
surveys of the road. He asked informa-
ton as to what had been doi.e by Santa
Fe County.
! County Commissioner Seligman has
answered this communication stating
that it was hoped here that the en-
gineers and surveyors of the Santa Fe
Railway could be had to do the work in
question. but as time was short and as
work had to commence on or before
May 18th next, the board Of county com
missioners of this county had concluded
to engage the services OF surveyors i'm
mediately ana to run preliminary sur
vey at once.
The general outline OF the road Is to
run from the eastern boundary of the
City of Santa Fe up tie canyon of the
Santa Fe river on the south side and Is
to be high line. Thereafter the line
Is to 60 through Indian canyon up to the
Santa Fe Club House, thence up the Pe'
cos river mile and half or two miles
thence across the Hamilton Mesa and
then down the canyon of the Gallnas
river. This is general only. When the
preliminary survey is completed, 1t will
be submitted to II. O. Bursum Super.n-
tendent of the Territorial Penitentiary
for examination and approval.
If the county commissioners 81 Sar
Miguel county could procure the i'm
mediate services OF the engineers and
surveyors of the Santa Fe railway fol
the survey of the road it would be very
pleasing to this county as it would save
expenses in all directions. But worl
had to commence at once and hence th'
action of the Santa Fe county board o
commissioners. Mr.. Veeder has beer
requested to answer this communca
ton Immediately as it was plain tha
time was progressing and as there il
danger of losing the territorial appro
priation unless an actual survey b
