Mining at Rociada.
+ Daily Optic.

.
RoCIADA, N. NJ. March 19.-Dear
Sir: In our last letter we promised
to give some information about the
Consolidated mine owned by Zum-
mach Bros. When We arrived at the
property we found the place alone
excepting a very handsome wild cat
in a cage and a little dog to guard
the premises; However, we looked
at everything in sight and found some
very fine ore on the dumps and have
since seen some that is very rich.
The lead appears to be 9 true assure
with well defined walls and carries
high values in gold, silver, copper and
lead, probably amounting to over
10000 per ton. There is about six
feet of the rich ore and II apDars
to be one OF the richest leads opened
up in the Rociada district. The own
ers have stopped work temporarily
and expect to resume IN the near
future when We hope the property
win be developed and made TO be one
Of the best mines in New Mexico.
Col. F.s-A. Blake paid us 10 visit
and is very enthusiastic over his new
find on the Sapello. and indeed, the
samples he brought 60 to show that
his enthusiasm Is well founded. The
following is a copy Of a statement
made by Mr.. F. 7. Bird, B. s. 3. d,
who is visiting the Roeiada district
for a few days: In regard to the
Forest mine, discovered and now be-
ing developed BY Col. F. A. Blake,
have only this to say at this time:
have examined 1t and also the sur
rounding geological formations and
am willing to 60 on record that this
mine is destined as development .pro
crosses, to prove prominent for years
to come, and also an unusually valu
able producing property in gold, sil
yer and copper.

ion prove a true prophecy. not onl!

kinds Of remedies that I could think Of,
but nothing seemed to help; In fact, 1t

the sore was, and I feared It would never
grow again. IL continued until my aged

Indianapolis, March 17.-Whether
the members of the United Nine
Workers of America shall strike or
whether they shall accept the propo-
sition of the mine operators is settled
by the vote of Tuesday, but just how
1t il settled remains still a matter OF
considerable speculation and doubt
From reports that have been received
from various points in the country 1t
would seem, however, that the miners
have decided to accept the proposition
and to sign the proposed scale, which
provides for a cut in wages of 555
per cent, but which also includes
two-year contract. The three CHER
national officers of the organization,
at their headquarters here, seem more
confident that the proposition will be
accepted than they have been since
the convention between the miners
and the operators failed to agree as to
a scale and adjourned. 1t is scarcely
probable that the tellers will finish
their work and be ready to announce
results before Saturday.

ored race. Comparing the lynch1ngs

Of the South in meeting out punish
ment to a negro who had committed
a fiendish crime never followed it up
with violence toward defenseless wo-
men and children as had been done
in the North. He declared that Pres
ident Roosevelt by inviting Booker
Washington to dine at the white house
had done more to infame the negro
and give him a perverted idea of his
Importance and his near approach to
social equality than anything that had
been done for the last ten years.
