THE JIcARILLA MINING DISTRICT.
The Wisconsin Mining and Smelling
Company to Place Fifty Ton
Mill on it's Properties.

o. Q. Beckwith, with the Fair
banks-Morse Company, Denver, Colo
rado, was in the city yesterday en-
route from Lincoln County to the
Queen City of the Plains. Mr.. Beck.
with has spent the past week in the
Jicarilla mining district, Lincoln
County, where he looked over the
ground and made all necessary ar
rangements preparatory to putting up
mill for the Wisconsin Mining and
Smelling Company operating in the
district. w. A. McIvers, ex-member of
the House of Representatives of the
Thirty-fifth Legislative Assembly and
we'll known In Santa Fe, Is manager
of the company, which owns a number
of mining claims in the district The
mill Is to be an amalgamating and
concentrating kind and Is to have
capacity of fifty tons in twenty-four
hours. If 1t proves successful, one or
two more mills will speedily be added
to the working capacity of the COM
pany. A dozen men are now employed.
There are large bodies of low grade
ore carrying gold and copper In the
claims. In one of these there Is q sew
en- foot vein, the ore of which aver.
ages nine dollars per ton, and, as this
deposit Is very extensive and as the
ore Is easily worked, Mr.. Beckwith be-
lieves it will develop into a great and
well paying mine. The mill contract
ed for will be on the ground in thirty
days and in working order In sixty
days. The properties of the Wiscon-
sin Mining & Smelling Co. are situ-
ated about eight miles east of Ancho
station on the Ell Paso & Northeast
ern Railway, from which supplies and
machinery are hauled The road be-
tween Ancho and the Wisconsin Min
ing and Smelling Company's property
Is fine and hauling heavy loads is
easy. Mr.. Beckwith, who has given the
Jicarilla mining district considerable
investigation, Is very favorably i'm.
pressed with its possibilities and re-
sources and says 1t is the best mining
section he has seen in the southwest
outside of the rich Colorado mining
districts. Fuel is plentiful and water
is easily developed and of the best
quality.

TAYLOR MOORE
ASSIGNMENT
Construction Company Forced to
Turn Work Over to the
Government.
ON HONDO RESERVOIR
Failure Due to Firms S Inability to Com
plete the Gunnison Tunnel Project
in Colorado.

Roswell, June 10.-A sensation has
been created here by the announce
ment that the Taylor Moore ConstrIo-
ton Company, through its secretary,
John w. Gillian, has assigned its con
tract on the Hondo reservoir to the
United States government
Reclamation Engineer w. M. Reed
has received a telegram from Wash
ington announcing that the assign
ment had been accepted and ordering
him to take charge of the work at
once. The change has not caused any
delay and work is progressing today
as usual. Engineer Reed was seen
last night but could not state whether
the government would relet the work
or finish it under the supervision of
the reclamation engineers.
The cause of the assignment here
was the failure of the company to
finish the Gunnison Tunnel contract
near Montrose, Colorado, together
with a decision of the comptroller of
the currency at Washington to the eff
feet that a contractor could not draw
pay on one contract when delinquent
on another. The company has done
about one-fifth of the work awarded to
it, but the decision of the comptroller
withheld from it the pay for April and
May, amounting to about 24,000, and
the secretary found it impossible to
finance the company Hence the as
signment was made.
The contract price for the five
schedules was $121 900, and about
$4,000 of this has already been paid
to the company by the government
The equipment of the company cost
$4,000 and this has been taken over
by the government to complete the
contract, of which so per cent remains.
There is due to laborers for May
about $4,000 and much dissatisfaction
exists among the men, who will have
to look to the bonding company for
their pay, and will not be able to get
is for some time. The construction
company is bonded for $4,000 in the
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Bal
timore. This bond covers and pro-
tects labor, material and supplies. AT
the time the contract was let it was
claimed that the Taylor Moore people
took the work at a price many thou
sand dollars too low, but the officers OF
the company assert that profit has
been made on the work so far done.
This assignment does not in any
way affect the Slinkard Construction
Company of this city. which has the
contract for the rock excavation on
the reservoir The work by this com
pany is satisfactory and is progressing

ment is Now in Course of

FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLES
Include Several important CIauses--.Is
Based Upon the Reports Of
Chambers of Commerce.

Berlin, June 9.-The German gov
ernment's draft of its views on the
proposed commercial treaty with the
United States is in the course of prep
aration for submission to Washington
in July. 1t is based upon the reports
of the German chambers of commerce
and other commercial authorities. The
fundamental principles suggested in
clude first, that the old Prussian treaty
Of 1928 must either be formally can
celled or extended to the German en-
pire with binding force for the United
States; second, if the treaty is can
celled it must be replaced by another
treaty of comfy and navigation be-
tween the two countries; third, a tar
if treaty with the United States must
be sought in which one concession
shall be balanced by another; fourth,
it is suggested that if no practical re-
suits are obtained a general German
customs should be applied to the i'm
ports from the United States. There
are other sections looking towards re-
ciprocity.

ROW BOATS IN THE STREETS.
Ancient Tome Still Withstanding the
Flood Waters Of the Rio Grande.
Village Completely Destroyed.

1t appears that historic old Tome
with all its charming associations OF
a romantic past has not been de-
stroyed by the food waters of the Rio
Grande as had been announced some
time ago. The river went through the
town, and In the church the water was
six feet deep but by the heroic efforts
of the people. all the houses and the
church were saved. A letter just re-
ceived from Father Rallere gives this
gratifying information. The village of
Tavalopa, situated to the north OF
the town of Tome was completely de-
stroyed. The fifteen houses composing
the village were washed away. The
food waters of the river entered Tome
through the ancient ranch of the once
famous Governor and Captain General
of New Mexico Don Bartolome Baca
situated at San Fernando about three
miles to the north. There are at pres
ent two row boats being used In the
streets Of Tome. One belongs to
Father Rallere.

FROM ALL OVER THE TERRITORY
Various Items of Interest Condensed
Mckinley County Saloon Cases
Under Amusement.

Arguments were heard in chambers
at Albuquerque on Thursday by Judge
Ira A. Abbott, of the Second Judicial
District Court on the Mckinley Coun-
ty saloon cases. In these cases the
validity of the law which was passed
by the last legislature prohibiting the
issuing of licenses to retail dealers in
towns of less than 100 inhabitants is
questioned. The case has been taken
under advisement.
Rev. R. NJ and Mrs. Craig, who are
soon to depart for the east, where Mr.
Craig will enter upon his duties as as.
sistant superintendent of Presbyterian
missions in the United States and
Alaska, were rendered a farewell re-
ception by the congregation Of the
Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque,
of which church he was lately the pas
tor.
William Archer, superintendent of
the water service of the Santa Fe Rail.
way System, has let the contracts
for the drilling of fifteen wells along
the dine of the Belen cutoff. These
wells will vary from 400 to 1,500 feet
in depth and work will be commenced
upon them as soon as the drilling out
fits can reach Belen.
Tuesday there arrived in Gallup a
shipment of twenty-five double-decked
cars of sheep. The shipment con
tanned several thousand animals from
the Campbell ranch at Flagstaff, Ari-
zona, and were consigned to Chicago.
1t is said that there are at least 5000
more sheep waiting at Flagstaff for
the Santa Fe to get cars there in
which to ship them.
The Santa Fe has taken off one of
the switch engines which has been
doing duty at Gallup. A slack OF work
is the reason given.
Gus Mulholland, who has the con-
tract for deepening the town we'll at
Gallup. has had to quit work, temper
arily, as some of his tools have be-
come fastened in the well. The ma
chine with which he Is working is not
strong enough to hoist the tools and
he will wait until he has completed the
well at Heaton when he will take the
big machine from there to Gallup to
use it. In the meantime the town is
scarce of water and every night the
people who live in the higher part of
the town are without the necessary
fluid.
