mineral wealth Of the country and the
world. The natural surroundings of the

farther away from the mines and
mountains. There is broad practical
experience during the entire course.
The proximity of the school to many
mines afford opportunity to studying
the most modern methods of mining as
well as the native methods which have
been followed for so many decades. The
New Mexico is unrivaled as the govern

The brochure gives the courses in de-

bulletins and the reports of
the Geological Survey. During the
summer practical field work is follow

ANOTHER sHOoTlNG At RATION.
A Hospital is Evidently Needed-Three Men
We're Seriously Hurt in the ARRAY.

A shooting affray occurred at Ration
at $50 Wednesday evening, and as re-
suit City Marshal Robert Kruger is ser-
ously wounded, q negro nemed Bruce is
not expected to survive the night, M.
Hendrie is suffering from knife wound
and w. K. Pritzer is under arrest
charged with the stabbing and shooting
The shooting occurred on the platform
of the depot The trouble originated in
chihuahua, q village on the outskirts of
Ration. Plitzer, who is a Santa Fe
brakeman, in an alteration with the
women in one OF the resorts at Chihua-
hua, drew a knife and threatened their
lives, claiming that they had robted
him. The women fled to Clark & Hen
dries saloon.
Pritzer followed, but was stopped by
Hendrie and told to leave. Pritzer
sprang upon Hendrie, who was unarmcd,
and stabbed him in the neck, inficting
a severe wound. He then left the sa-
loon and hurried to Ration, purchased a
revolver, and went to the depot with the
evident intention of boarding passenger
train No. Q.
Bruce, porter in Hendricks saloon,
followed Pritzer to Ration and notified
the marshal, who. accompanied by
Bruce, went to the depot. Pritzer was
standing on the platform when the mar
shal and Bruce approached from behind.
Kruger placed his hand on Pritzer's
shoulder and told him that he was un-
der arrest. Pritzer jumped to one side,
drew his revolver and emptled the six
chambers into the two men. Kruger
also brought his revolver into play and
bullets rained for several seconds.
Bruce, who had turned to run when
the shooting commenced, is the most se-
riously injured, one bullet entering the
back between the shoulder blades aLd
lodging in his chest. Physicians state
that he cannot live.
Marshal Kruger was hit twice, one
bullet going through his upper lip and
coming out in the neck about three in
ches below the lef. ear. The other en-
tered the left side and striking rib fol-
lowed it and came out at the back. He
Is in precarious condition and his re-
covery is doubtful. Pritzer sustained
two flesh wounds, one in the right arm
and the other in the breast The bull
lets struck the breast bone and lodged
there. Hendrie will recover.

TERRITORIAL BOARD OF IRRIGA-
TION.
The Territorial Board of Irrigation
was in session yesterday afternoon and
last evening, and is still in session this
afternoon. On the proposition to lease
or sell irrigated lands, the board stands
two and two-Messrs. Richardson and
Knaebel favor leasing the lands, and
Messrs. Hawkins and Springer favor
selling the lands outright. In conse-
quence of this equal division, all appli-
cations now pending before the board
are suspended until the next meeting,
which will be in about two weeks, when
1t Is hoped that the fifth member, Mr..
Miera, of Bernalillo county, will be pres

at this meeting are q unit against the
bill providing for territorial engineer,
on the grounds that all the powers con-
ferred on him in the pending bill are
conferred ON the present board under
existing laws, and the engineer should
not be given the powers which are now
given to the board.

A VALUABLE RECENT
ACQUISITION In THE
SOCORRO SMELTER

One of the neatest and most attrac-
tive publications that has come to this
Office is the brochure issued by the New
Mexico School of Mines at Socorro,
which contains the advance sheets of
the annual register relating chiefly to
the courses of study offered. The COM
plete register will be issued about May
l. The brochure was printed at the
School of Mines press and is handsome,
attractive and well gotten up. The
cover is artistic and the results from
putting out such statement Of the
resources and advantages of the school
cannot help but be satisfactory.
The board of trustees Of the school
consists of Governor M. A. Otero and
superintendent of Public instruction J.
Francisco Chaves, eX-officio, Juan Jose
Baca of Socorro, president; c. T. Brown
of Socorro, secretary-treasurer; Cap
Magdalena, and j. e. Smith of Socorro.
The name of each member of the facul-
ty is followed by a brief but compre-
hensive sketch Of his career
The School of Mines was founded by
act of the legislature of 1889 and all
organization was effected under sub
sequent act approved February 2S, 1891.
Plans were at once adopted for the
buildings and early in 1892 a circular
setting forth the aims of the school was
issued. The following year president
was chosen and students in chemistry
were admitted, but the mining school
was not opened until the tutumn of
1895. The location of the institution at
Socorro was particularly fortunate in
that it renders easily accessible to the
students large number Of mines OF all
kinds, smelters, irrigation systems and
other engineering works. Many Of the
most famous mines in the southwest
are within few hours ride of the
school. The surrounding country Is
rich in illustrations Of geological for

SALE OF SILVER CITY SHELTER.
The American Consolidated Copper Company
Has Bought the Lena Smelter at
LNrdShurg,

| The last obstacle against the sale of
| the Silver City smelter was removed
flast week when the American Smelling
and Refining Company signed papers
which caused their lease on the same to
expire and left the Hearsts in q position
to SELL The plant was sold Thursday
to the Comanche Mining and Milling
Company. Many improvements are
contemplated and the company expects
to produce most of the ore required for
the furnace, although custom work will
be done. The smelter has a capacity
for treating $50 tons per month.
The Silver Cell mine, at Plnos Altos,
has been put in running order recently
and the Dimmick Brothers are turning
out silver bricks in quantities.
A new mill is In process OF erection at
the mine of the Arizona Mining com.
pany at Pinos Altos. This is one of the
best producing mines at the camp.
Judge Deming brought the good news
to Silver City, that flow of water had
been encountered at the bottom of the
Neosho shaft, owned by the Allesandro
Mining company. The flow averages
10000 gallons day and the shaft will
be sunk deeper. A fifty-ton teacher will
be installed. This flow has exploded the
theory that water could not be had in
the Burro mountains at any reasonable
depth and paves the way for new enter
prises.
The Lena concentrator at Lordsburg
has been sold to the American Con-
solidated Copper company at quite a
large consideration. B. l.. Berkey of
the Berkey Mining Machinery company
of Ell Paso has inspected the property
preparatory to adding new machinery.
The present production from the iron
mines OF Fierro and Hanover is 1000
tons daily averaging Sc per cent excess.
A large part is shipped to Pueblo by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron and the rest to
El Paso for smelter flux.

lis formulated the Democrats may hol
a conference and if a majority shoul
agree to accept the bill, the minorit
will yiald. However, this is only con
lecture, but the men who are manag
ing the situation express hope tha
some agreement can be reached. TIN
effect upon the canal treaty will a
once be felt and Senator Quay and 9th
er statehood men will not try to pro
long the debate on this measure. A
the same time, the senators served no
tice yesterday upon those who are pres
sing the treaty that Senator Morgan
should have full opportunity to presen
| his views and amendments to the trea
ty in an orderly manner and withou
undue pressure. Senators Teller, Du
| bois and Rawlins were especially EN-.
phatic when making these declarations
saying that even if the treaty had tc
go over until after March 4, the Ala.
bama senator should not be subjected
to undue pressure.
Mr.. Mason gave notice that on Mon
day he would ask the senate to take
up the postoffice appropriation bill inn
mediately after the disposition of the
routine business. The senate then, on
motion of Mr.. Cullom, resumed consid-
Grafton of the Panama canal treaty in
executive session. When the senate
went into executive session for the sec
ond time, Mr.. Quay again took the floor
and said he desired to present to the
senate certain reports but that he was
indisposed and therefore would like to
have them read by the clerk. There was
no objection and the reading clerk ac-
cordingly began the reading of a long
report on the question of isthmian cam
ais which Mr.. Quay sent up.
THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb 21.-At the opening
of the session of the house today, Mr..
Hemenway of Indiana, asked unani-
nous consent for the consideration Of a
bill to exempt from taxation the prop
erty of the Daughters of the Revolution
in the District Of Columbia. Mr.. Moon
of Tennessee, objected, saying he would
continue to object to the consideration
of any bill by unanimous consent. Mr..
Fowler of New Jersey, then moved that
the house 60 into committee Of the
whole to consider the currency bill and
pending that motion he asked that he
control the time for the bill and Mr..
Thayer of Massachusetts,, against 1t. To
this Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia, objected,
saying that there was difference of
opinion on the Democratic side con-
cerning this question. The motion was
carried 1877 to 95. Accordingly the house
went into committee, and Mr.. Fowler,
chairman of the committee ON banking
and currency, took the floor in support
of his bill.

w. f. Lindsey of Portales, who was
sent by the people of that town to San
ia Fe for the purpose of procuring the
creation of the new county Of Roosevelt,
on yesterday received the following dis
patch from the people of that town:
"You have crossed the Rubicon, Por-
tales Is all smiles and feels under last
ing obligations to the 35th legislative
oceaunhJv fo Goyarpor Oforo opd o,,r
friends in Santa Fe who have aided us
so efficiently in attaining our Desires"
Mr.. Lindsey was greatly gratified at
the receipt Of this telegram. It Is sign
ed by several Of the leading citizens Of
the town. Mr.. Lindsey feels also under
obligations to the New Mexican for the
good and courageous work done in that
good cause.
During the discussion in the House
Thursday on the amendment to the bill
creating Leonard Wood county, that 1t
be named Quay, in honor of the distin-
guished senator who Is making such a
determined fight on the omnibus state
hood bill, the Hon. Pedro Sanchez dis
tinguished himself by an eloqeunt
speech in favor Of the amendment. AZ
ter concluding his grafton, Mr.. Sanchez
retired to the ante-room to cool of, and
was agreeably surprised and probably
delighted by having one of the lady en-
ployes throw her arms around him and
=
probation upon his furrowed cheek.
The old hero Of many battles upon the
field and in debate refuses to throw a
particle of light upon the identity Of his
charming friend. This incident is
strong incentive for other members Of
the House to cultivate the fetching gift
Of oratory.

any posse that may be sent in pursuit
They converse only with women and
children, from whom all the details
concerning them have been learned ex-
cept the general description given by a
woods on Friday. They approach a
farm house and standing some distance
away call loudly until some one makes
his appearance. IT it is man, they
keep on talking to him until he comes
up closer and then they throw their
rifles down on him and order him to
leave the premises. Like Tracy they
accompany this order with a threat to
massacre the entire family If any at
tempt is made to summon help. In this
way they have obtained food. At one
farm house they found the farmers
wife and children alone. They ordered
her to get breakfast and chatted freely
while she was cooking the meal All
questions concerning themselves they
parried. The man supposed to be Ru-
dolph stood on guard, while the other
ate, and Lewis then acted as picket.
