SUPPOSED TO
BE PLATINUM
Ore Deposits Of This Valuable Metal
Believed to Have Been Found on
Piedro Lumbre Grant 60
Miles North Of Santa Fe.

News has just been received In this
city of probably rich platinum strike
on the Pedro Lumbre Grant, in Rio
Arriba County, which is owned by local
parties and on which the option is
held by James Carpenter, a Denver
mining expert. It is established that
placer gold exists in the Chama River
bed, about eight miles north of Abb
quiu and Mr.. Carpenter and Edward
Houke, an engineer, have been work
ing in that vicinity for some time.
Last week they we're drilling through
a bed of gold-bearing gravel, which ex-
listed to depth of % feet, when they
struck hard substance, of which
they did not know the nature as 1t was
decidedly foreign to the locality and
new to the engineers. After q few
tests, they came to the conclusion that
it was platinum ore and sent samples
of it to Denver to be assayed. No re-
port as yet has been received but it is
expected that they will hear from Den
yer in few days.
On drilling further they struck bed
rock at depth of about AZ feet, but
the supposed platinum extended In a
solid mass to that depth. If their
hopes are realized and the report from
the assayer is that the ore found Is
platinum, there is a fortune In store
for the engineers and the owners of
the grant as the metal is exceedingly
scarce and brings SO per ounce.
Nearly all the platinum used in this
country is brought from abroad and
much of it comes from the placer
fields of South Africa and Australia.

lief at Once.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 2O.-Dr
Charles l.. Thompson, secretary of the
pres'y' arian board of missions, dis
.Nssaa VII aresident Roosevelt yes
terday the serious condition Of the Pi-
ma Indians Of Arizona. He told the
President the Indians were actual
ly dying of starvation because their
lands had been rendered unproductive
by the diversion of the water of the
streams running through them. The
diversion of this water was caused by
the development of plans of the gov
ernment for the irrigation of arid
lands.
Through the commission, the Pres
ident already has made an investiga-
tion of the matter and it is not unlike
ly that pumping stations will be con-
structed on the Pima Indian lands to
supply them with sufficient water for
all purposes. These pumping stations
will be erected in connection with ir-
rigation plants which are being put In
under the direction of the government.

race will have commenced. If he has
learned to labor, to feel the urgency
of it and apply it during his appren.
ticeship in the school, the chances are
good that he will reach the goal in
fine fettle. Many may fail, from in.
herent weakness or generally from
outside influences, but we are striving
to give the Indian his chance. After
he has received it he must work or
starve. The cry of the sentimentalists
for more rations should cease, and the
government injunction of work" sub.
stituted. The Pima and Navajo In
dians do not want rations but water"
and intelligent irrigation instruction.
The Sioux and the Cheyenne do not
want rations but cattle and intelligent
agricultural instruction.
Irrigation on the Navajo Reservation.
The Indian Office is steadily adher-
ing to its plan Of constructing small
irrigation bitches within the Navajo
Reservation, especially from the San
Juan River, as set forth in last years
report. Authority has been asked to
make certain expenditures in the con.
struction Of dam on Black Creek and
to straighten that creek so as to make
more useful the Black Creek ditch; to
improve and put in repair the agency
ditch, otherwise termed the Fort De-
fiance irrigation system; to construct a
ditch in Canon de Chelly; to repair the
Wheatfield ditch and dam and to put
in good condition the Cottonwood ditch
and dam. According to the statements
Of Mr.. Shoemaker. supervisor Of irri-
cation, the expenditures are necessary
in order that the Indians may have the
full benefit of the bitches already con.
structed and the use of their lands
along the proposed new ditch. He has
also reported the feasibility and advis-
ability Of irrigation at Chin Lee and
Round Rock. Further attention will
be given to the construction of bitches
leading from the San Juan River. The
Indians utilize the bitches which have
been constructed, keep them in repair
and plant wherever water can be had.

sion in Annual Report Asks
for Increase in Legislation.

ING HOME
DeIegate.Eect Leaves Washington Yes.
terday for New Mexico. Governor
will Depart Soon.

| Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20.-The an
maui report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission was transmitted to con
gress yesterday. Reference is again
made to the principal objects of the
act to regulate commerce and the pub
lication and observance of tariff rates
The commission says in substance that
! successful regulation of rates depends
upon the effective operation of both
branches of the government. The act
as amended by the Elkins law of Feb
ruary 19, 1908, and which deals with
the publication and invariable applica-
ton of tariffs, appears to be operating
successfully as applied to carriers
subject to it's provisions, but it is be-
lieved these provisions might be made
somewhat more definite and extended
to apply to other agencies connected
with transportation, which may now
be used as a means of affording con-
cessions to shippers, which in effect
reduce the cost Of moving their pro-
ducts.
The commission calls attention to
the fact that there has been no am
endatory legislation comforting power
over these rates and making the or
ders of the commission executive. In
the present state of the law, after a
careful and often extended investiga-
tion, the commission may find rate
complained against to be unreasonable
and order the carrier to desist from
charging that rate for the future; but
it cannot, though the evidence may
and usually does indicate it, force an
othen reasonable rate to be substi-
tuted for that which has been found to
be unlawful.
In two instances during the past
year the commission has been asked
by both shippers and carriers to ad-
judicate controversies between them
concerning the adjustment of rates. In
each case the questions involved are of
manifest Importance as affecting the
business of comparative communities
and the traffic Of the railway lines by
which they are served.
The commission now thinks it prob
able that the cases now pending before
it directly or indirectly affect every
class of people in the United States.
Besides disposing of large number
of cases through informal investiga-
tions and deciding numerous questions
arising in relation to the publication
and observance of tariffs, the commits
sion has rendered during the year
twenty-seven decisions in reports and
opinions upon contested cases or in
made by the commission
on its own motion. The report shows
that in railway accidents there were
43, ,266 employees injured and 1896 kill.
ed in 1904, as compared with 33,711 in.
jured, and ISIS killed in 1902, with
which year comparison is made There
we're SOFT persons injured and 42O
killed. The increase in the number of
deaths Of passengers over 1902 Is 6 61-2
per cent. There were ten unusually
disastrous accidents during the year,
and the report says that the para

Corn Acreage Large.

The amount OF land in this county
planted to corn this spring is larger
than for several years. Many of the
farmers who had grown wheat for sew
eral years thought 1t advisable to
change the crop for season and quite
a large percent OF that sown was wir (.
ter killed or failed to sprout. This
gives the county an unusually large
corn acreage and should the season
prove to be a good one for corn as now
seems probable, Phillips county will
take high rank among the corn pro.
ducing counties Of the state.

An Accident Prevented.

Last night, as the freight went
west, 1t broke a rail just northwest OF
the opera house. Major E. W. Warner
was sitting on the hotel steps and
heard the 'chug, chug" as the freight
passed He went down TO the place
and found about three feet of one Of
the rails oxen out and split In such
a way that the passenger, which was
almost due, would be sure to run of.
Major Warner hurried back to the
hotel and 'phoned to the depot, Sec
tion Boss Chune came up and looked
at the rail, and ran to the depot and
returned with rcd flag. In the
mean time Major Warner, sent q
travelling man, r. B. Musser, down
with red sofa pillow and between
them they tagged the train. The
train was thus saved from an awful
t?) disaster. -Kirwln Kansan.

The Married rLan Preferred.

The announcement by the presi-
dent that hereafter preference will
he'giyen to married men, and especi-
ally to men Of large families, In max
ing appoint in the pOstoflice
department, conforms to a rule that
has long been observed In many priv
ate institutions. IL is based on the
presumption that a married man, on
the average, Is "Steadier" thans a
bachelor; that he has the strongest
incentives that a man can have for
maintaining his self.respect and liv
ing within his means. OF course,
there are exceptions to this rule, as
there are to others, and usually they
depend on the 'other half" Of the
family. But an observation that has
worked we'll In private establishments
ought to be useful In government de-
partmenls, and every step taken.in
direction OF genuine business methods
In public life Is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
