ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPPING.
Six Men Try to Garry OF Governor
Otero's Son.

Santa Fe, N. M, Aug. 9.-To the re-
lief of everyone in Santa Fe, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Slosson and posse re-
turned yesterday from the Red house
on the Upper Pecos with Miguel A.
Otero, son of Governor Otero. The
conspiracy to kidnap the boy culmi-
mated by six heavily-armed men riding
up to the summer cottage of Mrs. w.
B. Childers, who was alone with the
servants, and demanding the boy, but
fortunately he was with his uncle, Ter
ritorial Game Warden Otero. on a fish
ing trip. Mrs. Childers informed the
men that young Otero was not on the
premises, but they searched the out.
houses without result and then rode
away.
This was a third attempt to capture
the boy, who is strikingly handsome
and the only son of the governor.
While the identity of the would-be
kidnappers is not positively known,
there is little doubt that the leader is
an ex-convict who was recently par
doned by Governor Otero. He was re-
Gently seen talking to other ex-convicts
in saloon, and was heard to say: IF
we can only get the boy into the noun
tains the old man will pay princely
ransom for his recovery" While the
name of Otero was not mentioned,
there is little doubt but that young
Otero and the governor, were referred
to.

NEWS FROM The MINES and MILLS
WIN Build Drainage Tunnel.

The Cripple Creek correspondent
of the Denver Republican says: The
great drainage tunnel will be built.
but from reliable source it Is learned
that the Portland Gold Mining and
Milling Company will not pay its as
sessment. This may seem odd. but
the information comes SO straight
that it's reliability can not De
questioned. Another odd feature Is
that those having charge Of the tun-
mel will go ahead and drive under
Portland ground. and drain that prop
erty just the same as any other mine
in the district.
When the agreement was made be-
tween several of the larger mining
companies to have q drainage tunnel
under the properties the Portland
corporation figured in the proposition
and its assessment was to be $4,000
The Ell Paso company was to put up
100000, the Elton $4,000 and other
mines smaller sums. Now the man.
agement of the Portland company re-
fuses to sign the contract prepared.
The action of the Portland manage
ment was stated to attorneys, who,
after giving the matter serious con-
sideration, to-day advised the tunnel
builders to go ahead with the tunnel
and drain the Portland just the same
as any other mine. They claim that
even though the Portland management
does not sign the contract the money
will be Forthcoming. as the company
can be compelled by law to pay its
proportion for benefits received from
the tunnel.
That the tunnel builders can sue for
compensation for services performed
is shown by the decision of the Dis
trict Court of Lake county, when
Messrs. Smith and Moffat were work
ing the Penrose property in Leadville
and pumping out other mines in that
county. They brought suit against
the management of several of the
properties for remuneration and the
court held that the defendants must
pay the same for the drainage of their
mines. The cases were never taken
to higher tribunal.
The new tunnel which, when COM
pleted, will cover five miles of terri
tory, will drain every mine in the dis
trict. 1t is to be constructed at a cost
of 100000. The deepest shaft in the
Portland is 1850 feet and it will be
drained by the tunnel at a depth OF
between 1,S00 and 1000 feet The
Elkton shaft is down 900 feet and at
point $50 feet deeper this property
will be drained. All mines deriving
benefit from the tunnel will be as
sessed.

Killed by Shell Explosion.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 9.-At 1880
yesterday 3.2-inch shell exploded at
the camp of the Eleventh United
States infantry, Colonel Meyer COM
manding, in the Crow Creek forest re-
serve, thirty-five miles west of the
city, killing Private Charles Boggs of
company G. and fatally injuring Cor
poral Carl Becker of company II. The
following were seriously injured:
Private Harry Survant, company H;
Private Harvey L Robinson, company
G; Private Yutter company ii.
Five others were burned and lacer-
ated, but their names were not re-
ported.
The men OF II and G. companies
found the shell lying out on the range
that was used last year by the Thir-
teenth field artillery. 1t had been fired
in practice, but failed to explode.
Taking 1t to camp they attempted to
open it. First they hammered 1t with
stones, then n monkeywrench was
brought into play. Finally Private
Boggs seized the projectile and
slammed 1t down on a rock between
his legs. A loud report followed and
the air was filled with the arms and
legs OF Boggs. flying dirt, rock and
pieces of the shattered steel shell.
When the smoke cleared away no
trace of the shell was to be found.
and bleeding soldiers lay stunned and
unconscious on the ground. The seri-
ously hurt we're removed to the field
hospital, where Boggs died IN a short
time. Becker, Survant and Robinson
were brought 10 Ft. Russell, where
Becker was operated on late last
night.
Surgeon Keffer says Becker will die.
Survant. Robinson aRd Outer will

Colorado Springs dispatch says
that body of ore from five to six feet
wide, running $62 per ton in gold and
two and one-half per cent. cinnabar
has been exposed on the west slope of
Pixies peak in the Poorman group of
mines, about four and half miles
from Gillett. The altitude of the find
is 1880 feet. The strike was made by
Frank Teters. who is backed by Colo.
rado City capital. The ore lies in gran
ite.
The California State Mining Bureau
has issued bulletin on the subject or
gold dredging in the state. giving in
full detail history of this modern
and important industry. The bulletin
shows that the output of gold for the
year 1908 from this source alone was
$1.415,119. or this amount $1,329, ,99S
was extracted in Butte county. where
some twenty-five dredges were In ope-
ration. Three dredges were working
near Folsom, one in Slskiyou county,
one In Trinity and one In Yuba county.
In 1905 there are twenty-eight dredges
In the Oroville district, five at Folsom.
one In Calaveras. two in Trinity, one
In Siskiyou and two In Yuba-a total
of forty dredges. Callfornia's gold
yield from dredges In 1904 is esti-

Boulder County Tunnel.

Z. s. Lake expects within two
months to have completed the great
Boulder County tunnel. which will cut
Boulder County hill, in the Caribou
district, at depth of 1000 feet below
the shaft of the Boulder County, mine,
says the Boulder correspondent of the
Denver News. Progress has been made
at the rate of $50 feet a month.
When completed the tunnel will de-
liver the ore directly to the mill and
will afford excellent drainage for the
mine. 1t is now in 3.10O feet, and it
is estimated that $500 feet will COM
plete 1t to a point on the vein under
the shaft, the tunnel having been
driven on the vein from the portal. Mr..
Lake says the tunnel will effect a saw
ing of 81 ton on mining and trans
porting the ore to the MILL Pumping
alone costs over $1,000 a month, and
the total cost of the tunnel will not ex-
ceed $4,000. On completion of the
tunnel all shafts will be driven, and
within year 1t is expected that IA large
mill. probably an amalgamating and
concentration mill, will be operating
on the large ore reserve exposed in the
mine above the tunnel level The

Plans for nuena Vista smeIter.

The Buena Vista Ore Buying, Smelt-
ing. & Power Company is the name of
a new company which has been incor-
porated under the laws of the state
of Arizona to build smelter here.
says the Buena Vista correspondent
of the Denver Republican. The COM
pany owns the patent rights in the
United States for a new smelling and
power process for heating and for the
reduction of ores. The inventor of the
process guarantees in two and one
half hours. at thirteen pounds pres
sure, to produce a heat of 4,595 de-
grees Fahrenheit, which by the old
process required eight hours. Ore
containing values of S. per ton can
and will be treated at profit. Smelt-
ing charges will not exceed 50 per
ton. The initial capacity of the fur
mace will be 300 tons per twenty-four
hours.
The main works of the company will
be a mile north of the business cen
ter of the town, upon site already se-
cured. In addition to the smelter, a
large machine shop will be con-
structed for the manufacture of the
heating apparatus and it's application
to locomotives, which is now giving
entire satisfaction to the Union Pacific
Railway Company.
The shop will be capable of doing
the largest and most expert machine
work in repairing and rebuilding min
ing machinery, an industry that will
thrive in Buena Vista, the nearest
shop now being 120 miles distant. I'm
der its charter the company has the
right to provide both power and light
for the city and the mining district ad-
jacent.
Charles A. Kuenzel, the president
of the company and the inventor of
the process, arrived in the city a few
days ago and was accompanied by c..
w. Keeper, mill and smelter expert.
Immediately after securing the site
for the plant and opening offices on
the lower floor of the Martin block on
Main street Mr.. Kuenzel returned to
his eastern home. His family will ac.
company him to this city and work
will begin at once.
There is enough ore lying on old
dumps within radius of ten miles
of the smelter that will run above IS
per ton to keep the plant running
many years. Mining in the district
will receive a great impetus from the
Inauguration of this enterprise. A few
of the old properties are preparing
for an early resumption of operations.

Old Summit County Camps.

Summit county correspondent of
the Denver News writes that there
is great revival of interest in the
old mining camps of the east end of
the county, including Montezuma,
Chihuahua, Rathbone and the Shoe
basin. From all these camps consid-
cradle high grade ore is being shipped
in greater or less quantities for the
last quarter of a century. Here the
property is generally in the hands of
tne individual miner or the original
prospector. and the shipments here
tofore made have generally come from
openings far above timber line, which
were inaccessible on account of the
heavy snOwfalls for from six to nine
months In the year. For the lack of
capital and time with which to open
these ore bodies with cross-cut tun-
nels at such points where they could
be reached with a wagon road. these
pioneer miners have worked faithfully
under most adverse circumstances.
They have demonstrated the value of
their property to a sufficient extent to
interest the capital necessary to
drive these tunnels, several of which
are now being pushed vigorously. with
most promising results.

A Grand Encampment dispatch
says: The Penn-Wyoming Copper
Company's copper output from the
smelter here during the month OF July
was a few pounds less than 1000, 900
and 100000 pounds greater than the
output of any previous month in the
history of the smelter. The output of
the smelter is to be increased, unex-
pected ore developments having oc-
Cured in the Ferris-Haggerty mine,
from WHICH the supply Of the smelter
is derived. Twenty of the mine and
smelter employees have quit to take a

the company now Is advertising for

twenty additional men.
Seven additional sets of leasers
started work on the Colorado Central
mine this morning. says the George
town correspondent OF the Denver
Republican on the 4th inst. This
makes total of fifteen leases granted
by F. A. Maxwell since he secured pos
session of the property. Fifty men are
at work In the mine at the present
time. 1t is probable that within an
other two weeks as many more will
find employment. The leases call for
