BIG STRIKE LEAD ORE
IN MAGDALENA DISTRICT

What promises to be the greatest
find in New Mexico in many years in
mining, has been discovered in the
Key mine, in the Magdalena noun,
tains, near Kelly, owned by the Mine
Development company, a corporation
Of Boston capitalists.
Mr. C. T. Brown, of Socorro, mana
ger for the company, stated at the AL
varado last night that the recent strike
in the Key mine was really big find
At depth of 400 feet, while making
a crOss-cut east from what was sup,
posed to be the foot wall of the ore,
which had been followed from the
surface, a working party discovered
that there was Sol feet of high Trade
lead carbonate lying under the lower
side of the lead stOpe. Mr.. Brown,
who is one of the most thorough min
ing men of the territory also stated
that this, without doubt, was the great

posted mo smoking" notices in the
city hall and proceeded to guard the
city treasury, while he swindled his
friends. poor widows, orphans and
children as a side line. His total pee
ulation is now estimated at 500 900.
Over the mayors desk in his pri-

bank is an engraving depicting a
widow with two children in consulta-

picture is called "A Flaw in the Title
With this picture staring him in the
face, the mayor for eight years duped
hundreds of just such women and
children.
The climax of his career came when
he secured from $4,000 to $4,000 by
borrowing from banks and business
concerns and exchanging checks with
wealthy friends. Thereupon, he pack
ed his grip and disappeared.

est strike of lead carbonate ore made
in this district in many years.
The Key mine is located on the
summit of the mountains, about a mile
directly east of the Graphic and Kelly
mines. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Brown and Captain A. B. Fitch,
the latter lately of Magdalena, for
merly owned and operated the Graphic
mine, and sold 1t about a year ago to
eastern capitalists at a large profit
The Mines Development company be-
gan a systematic development of the
Key property on the advice of Mr..
Brown, about four years ago, and have
worked toward the bowels of the
mountain, with the result of this big
discovery, which was made some
weeks ago, and the secret has been
carefully guarded for reasons best
known TO the owners.

Paterson, N. j., Aug. 14.-The most
unfortunate city in the world is Pat
erson, Passaic county, New Jersey.
1t has been the scene of some of the
most terrible calamities, visitations of
flood and flame, ignominy of lawless-
ness and scourged by crime and just
now it is in the throes of a political
and financial eruption through the un-
masking of its chief magistrate, who
turns out to be a modern DR.. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde.
William II. Belcher, who up to ten
days ago was mayor of this city, but
who decamped with between $4,000
and $25,000 of other peoples money,
has been located at Stockton. Cal, and
Prosecutor Emley of Passaic county,
has started the sheriff to California to
bring Belcher, who is now branded as
a forger and fugitive from justice,
back to Paterson, so that he may be
prosecuted for his various crimes.
Paterson is silk manufacturing
town and produces silk goods in one
year often amounting in value to more
than $5,000000. Though this is the
largest industry, it supports scores
more varied and of larger proportions.
Its population is 105,000 most of them
hard-working, substantial, self-re-
specting citizens. 1t has 100 churches,
a large, free library, many public
schools, hotels, parks, a handsome res
idence district and five daily news
papers. The Passaic river descends
at this point seventy feet in one pic
turesque fall, and flows between pal
isades of basalt.
The attention of the entire coun-
try was called to Paterson five years
ago when poor Jennie Bosschieter, a
mill girl, was lured to a road house
by four wealthy young men of the
town, drugged, brutally assaulted and
left to die in a clump of bushes by the
roadside. Walter McAlister, William
A. Death and Andrew j. Campbell
were sentenced to thirty years i'm
prisonment at hard labor, and George
A. Kerr, who pleaded guilty, was given
fifteen years also at hard labor.
The case was known as the "Pater-
son crime" and at the time drew ma
tional attention to the existence of
many wine rooms and resorts, to

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 1.-THE

osteOpaths Hold Convention.

Denver, Colo, Aug 1.-THE an
nual meeting of the American Osteo
pathic Association opens here today
for five days session. Last year
when the convention was held in St
Louis, there were about one thousand
members of the osteOpathic school ol
doctors in attendance. The attendance
at the convention which begins here
today promises to exceed that of last
year considerably. Nearly every state
in the Union is represented and there
are also some from Canada and one
or two from Mexico.
There are at the present time nine
osteopathic colleges in the United
States, with 1856 teachers, and an at
tendance of POO or 800. over 1000
practitioners have graduated from
these colleges so far.

POINT ONE WAS
DISPOSED OF TODAY.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. 14.-The
following communication was issued
at 1870 o'clock:
"In the morning sitting of August
18th, article first as disposed of, and
every point discussed in article two.
The meeting adjourned at l o'clock,
to be resumed at g."
But article one, as agreed to by
the ENJOYS at the morning session,
was not in the language submitted by
the Japanese. 1t had been modified
to nearer meet the wishes of the
Russian ENJOYS, but to what extent
cannot be definitely stated. Witte
had insisted that the real intention
was to make a Japanese dependency
of Korea.

accidents and criminal actions of
minor importance during the past five
years.
Through all of its narrowing vicis-
situde Paterson has patiently borne
the brunt of disgl ace and loss, but
with the revelation of the true char
acter of her mayor, whom she looked
upon as an exponent of civic right

toner of private corruption, the city's
belief in the honesty OF mankind is
shaken to the roots.
Belcher was the head of building

that Belcher unscrupulously took thou
sands of dollars from trusting mem
bers, giving spurious mortgages in re-
turn. When the mayor came into of
