The Famous Graphic Mine in the
Magdaleua District Promises to
Develop Still Greater
Wealth
DISTRICT NEVER so PROSPEROUS.
Experts Say II Will Become One of
Great Copper Producing Dis
tricts of the Country.

The Chicftain has it from
uuquestionablc authority that the
recent strike of copper ore in the
Graphic mine of the Magdalcna
district has already developed in
a way to establish in the minds
of experts the conviction that the
district is destined To become one
of the greatest copper producing
districts in the country.
1t was announced in these col
umns last week that the copper
vein in the Graphic had been
uncovered to a width of twenty
feet and a length of four hum
dred feet and that the ore was of
unusually high grade. Since
that time another promising run
of copper ore has been uncovered.
This copper ore is now paying
all the running expenses of the
mine and dividend besides.
leaving the lead and zinc products
of the mine clear profit. a vein
of copper ore has been encounter
ed i'll the Kelly mine, also. adioin-
ing the Graphic. and develop
ment work is in progress there
that promises important results.
The Magdalcna district was
never before so active and
prosperous as now, and there is a
strong probability that there
will soon be manifold increase
in these conditions. The Graphic
and Kelly mines have recently
been visited by some of the fore
most copper experts in the United
States, and all have been
convinced by what they saw that
the district is destined to become
one of the great copper producers
of the southwest. Still more
interesting developments may be
expected i'll the near future.

MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.

The custom of setting apart a
day for publicly honoring the
memory of the soldiers and sailors
who have given up their lives in
the defense of our country, was
firmly established by this Nation
many years ago, and is known as
Memorial Day. 1t is a beautiful
tribute To our noble dead; it
fosters iii our hearts that highest
of sentiments, gratitude; il
renews in uS spirit of patriotism,
and. as deep sorrow annihilateS
all contentious in a community,
so does this National service for
our immortal dead weld our
States and Territories into
Union stronger and more inn
pregnablc than ever.
Now, Therefore, |, Miguel A.
Otero, Governor of the Territory
of New Mexico, in accordance
with said custom, do recommend
that Tuesday, the thirtieth day
of May, A. ID. 1904, be designated
and set aside as Memorial Day;
that the people of New Mexico
desiSt from all unnecessary labor
on that day and devote il to
services in honor and memory of
the Nations heroes, who, To save
our homes and country, sacrificed
their lives. Strew their graves
with flowers and sing again the
National anthems they loved 81
we'll.
Done at the Executive Office
this the 18th day of May, A. ID.
1905.
Witness my hand and the great
seal of the Territory of New
Mexico.

TO ERADICATE NANCE.
Secretary Will G, Barnes Of the
Cattle Sanitary Board Outlines
His Plan.
CATTLE CONDITIONS EXCELLENT.
Two or Three Favorable Seasons
Will More Than Make Up for
Recent Losses.

Secretary Will &. Barnes of the
Cattle Sanitary Board recently
granted the Albuquerque Citizen
an interview from which the fol-
lowing is condcnSed
THE last Legislature passed a
law giving the territorial cattle
sanitary board almost unlimited
power in regard To stamping out
the disease of mango among cat
tie.
Il will notify every cattleman
whose cattle are affected with
mango that his cattle must be- dip
ped. This will be done in the
next few months. The order
cannot be complied with at once.
as the cattle in the affected dis
trictS are too poor. There was
one thing accomplished at the
recent session of the American
Livestock association at Denver
that will be a great boon to the
cattlemen of New Mexico. This
was that only one dipping would
be required, instead of two as has
heretofore been the case. 1t
costs approximately 25 cents a
head to dip the cattle and there
fore ii is plain To see the great
saving this will be to cattlemcu.
THE cattle in the southern
part of the territory are in very
fine condition and there is no
disease among them An order
was recently issued by the govern
ment to the effect that cattle
shipped from that section of The
territory would not be- inspected
hereafter. This will be good
news to the cattlemcn, as the
inspection has caused more or
less friction and delay. which
added tothe expense in tranSporta-
tion.
Where the disease is most
prevalent is along the Tcxas
boarder, as every county that
adioinS the Texas line is more or
less affected. The board has
conducted a thorough investiga-
tion with the result that almost
every COW i'll the territory that is
affected with mango has been
located and will be treated.
Generally | think that cattle
conditions in New Mexico were
never better aud the outlook for
next year is very encouraging.
In Union and Colfax counties We
suffered heavy losses the past
winter, fully a third of our herds
dying of exposure, but the range
is good now and those thA
survived will in the next two or
three seasons. with favorable
conditions, more than make mp
for the losses"

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Special to- the chieftain:

Special TO the Chicftain:
Kansas City, Mo, Monday, Nav
Is, 1905. Although buyers were
better able TO handle cattle last
week than they have been lately.
the market declined Is to IS
cents, covering pretty much all
classes of cattle. Stockers and
feeders lost about the same, but
TIE heaviest loss was on the
ileshy feeders. Colorado and
Idaho hay fed steers were includ-
ed in the receipts, but representa-
tion from the Panhandle country
was very small Idaho hay fed
steers sold at S4.25 to S4.65, bulls
i'll same shipment $500 to S3.40,
Colorado feeders S4.65, and
shipment from Fowler, the Sugar
Beet country, weighing 1150 to
1910 lbs. sold at S5.45 to $5.65.
The supply today is 1000 head,
market steady to strong on every
thing, except fat steers, which
are weak to 10 cents lower. Two
shipments from the Western
slope, sold today, one a bunch of
light feeders, at 81. 40, with
few ont at S4.20, and some heavy
hay fed feeders, 1870 lbs. to 1925
lbs, at $500 to S4.90. There was
just good steady market today,
generally satisfactory to shippers,
and indications do not point to
much change this week. At this
time last year, prices on killing
cattle were nearly dollar lower
than they are now, and the
average this month so far is
seldom exceeded in May.
Not many fed sheep are coming
now, only few fed ewes last
week. no wethers or yearlings.
Some wooled fed lambs were
here, and sold from $500 to
S6.S5. The market gained IS to
25 cents during the week. Texas
mixed sheep made up most of the
supply last week, and sold at
$40 to S4.S5. The supply today
is fair, at $500 head, market 10
TO Is cents higher, Fair to good
Colorado lambs sold at S6.85 to-
day, Texas wethers S4.S5, Ariz-
ona mixed sheep S4.90, Texas
ewes $3.50, and Texas wethers,
S4.S5. The Texas stuff is extra
good this season, and is filling
out even better than expected.
Markets are, therefore, active
and snappy as one of the main
causes for slow markets is an
inferior class of receipts. Texas
stuff is making good weights.
also, averaging from Ss TO 40
lbs, generally close to 100 lbs.

STOMACH DISTRESS
MANY PAINFUL SYMPTOMS ARE
CAUSED BY POISONOUS GASES.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Tone Up the
Digestive Organs, Restore Nerve
Force and Cure INDIGESTION.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in il undigested. decays and throws
on poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter
ference with other organs. especially
with the action OF the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects.
They are absorbed by the blood and
corrupt it and so cause aches in re-
mote parts of the body and the for
nation of unhealthy tissue every
where. General bodily weakness and
loss of weight result. The nerves and
the brain are disturbed and discom-
forts. such as dizziness, hot flashes
sleeplessness. irritableness and des-
pondency originate from this source.
The experience of Miss Minerva c.
Ladd. of Ipswich, Mass, will prove
helpful to many She has just re-
covered from a stomach difficulty that
made her wretched for many years.
Miss Ladd says:
Il had weak stomach from the
time | was q little child. Whenever
took hearty food il would cause ter.
rible faintness. and ! would finally
vomit what | had eaten. At times
there would be the most intense pains
| through the upper part of my body.
For days in succession, / would have
to lie down most of the time. If ! got
up quickly my head would feel so dizzy
| that | would have to sink back on my
bed and rise again very slowly. The
| distress was often so great that
could hardly bear il. and the frequent
Ill
| disagreeable, too.
For many months | had a good
physician who did what he could He
| told me that not only the belching
but also the pains through my body
were caused by an excess of gas in my
stomach Sometimes his medicine
gave me relief. but it was only temper

AT this time | read about a case

Life Insurance Corruption.

The investigation now being carried
on by a committee of the New York
legislature is demonstrating that the
field of corruption extends far beyond
the scope of the Equitable. vast as that
is. II is no longer Equitable corrup-
ton IL is life insurance corruption.
These facts have been proven by the
confessions of the officials themselves:
l. The money of the policy-holders
has been given TO political committees.
3 Assets which should have gone
on the lodges to the policy-holders
credit have been diverted TO secret
funds and payments have been made of
which no records appear in the public
statements.
3. The custom was general for Off
GERS and directors 10 speculate with
the trust fund in their keeping.
4. II was also the custom for the
officers and directors TO manufacture
securities and sell them TO their own
companies.
;. Exorbitant salaries, far beyond
the value of the services rendered,
have been voted by officials TO them
selves. 1t is admitted that the official
annual reports are false and that the
state superintendent statement of
their accuracy is a lie.
These facts are established by the
evidence given at the investigation OF
the New York City life insurance com
panies. Do the Illinois insurance COM
panies pattern their business" meth
DDS after the New York companies?
The state authorities ought TO give the
matter a careful investigation, and if
any are found misusing the policy
holders money. a stop should at once
be put TO that extravaganza and cor
ruptiOn.
