GREAT ZINC DISTRICT.
MagdaIena Camp to Front as Produc-
er-Graphic, Kelly and Key
Great Properties.
Special to the New Mexican

opeclal 10 the New Mexican.
Magdalena, Dec. 1S.--The Magda
lena camp is the scene of continued ac
tlvity. Mining men of national repu
tatlon are constantly visiting the dis
lrlct, attracted by the steady output ot
zlnc ore which has, until recently beer
confined to the oxidized ore, the car
Donate (Smlthsomite) but now In
cludes the sulphide. This ore Is yery
complex, consisting of the sulphides q,
zinc and lead intimately blended with
iron, great portion of the iron being
oxidized, which has, in the past pre-
vented mining and shipping on com
mercial scale.
Inc recent improvements in the
metallurgy of zinc have made it DOS.
slble to operate the sulphide ores to
a profit. The Graphic is now ship
ping the same class of ore.
The Graphic Company, in order to
reduce the cost of mining, has com.
menced 1,G00 foot tunnel to cut the
ore, already blocked out, two hun.
dred feet below the sixth level. This
tunnel has already been driven seven
hundred feet and has cut two bodies of
sulphide ore of better grade than the
ore in the old workings of the mine
The tunnel has encountered a stream
OF water furnishing about 500 gallons
per minute, insuring a permanent SUP.
ply for milling and other purposes.
The company is also installing a large
compressor at the mouth of the tunnel
and will introduce machine drills az
soon as the compressor plant is COM
pleted
The Kelley mine has recently in.
stalled a new hoist and completed |
shaft and power houses, shops and
other necessary buildings, at the
shaft. The shaft Is already |
down to level with the deepest work
ngs in the mine; a station has been
made and cross-cut being driven to the
)re on the lower level. The shaft is
also being continued deeper to open
Up new and unexplored ground. This
shaft will enable the mining of the
enormous ore bodies blocked out in
he lower level of the mine at a mini.
nun cost.
The ore discovered some months
'go by the Mine Development Com.
)any in the Key tunnel has been pros.
)ected continuously, demonstrating
he continuity Of the ore along the
strike Of the vein for 500 feet; also,
that it extends up and down on the
lip of the vein. The company con-
.inues to acquire adjoining property |
adding to the already large acreage in
he Key group. They have recently
the Two Duces, patented
adjoining the Tip Top, one Of
he claims Of the group. II
The Tip Top tunnel is being driven
It the rate of three feet every twenty
our hours, three eight-hour shifts be-
ne employed. This tunnel prospects
he Tip Top ground and eventually
will connect with the ore already !
blocked out in the Key.

MANY AMENDMENTS.
Much Work For Senate With the DO-
 minican Treaty.

ntuHChA
 Washington, March 8.-So many amendments were offered to the Santo Domingo treaty in the Committee of Foreign Relations today that it will hardly be recognized as the original document when 1t is again presented to the Senate. member of the com mtttee stated that whole sentences have been reversed and new articles added, and that all the amendments are subject to material revision. It was predicted that when the treaty comes before the Senate the work of the committee practically will have to be done all over. The alterations are so great that members of the commit tee say they cannot give a clear idea of the present treaty.
 A recess was taken at IF o'clock. At that hour the Senate convened and took up executive business. Senator Bacon offered a number of amendments to his resolution directing the Foreign Relations Committee to inquire into the protocol of an agreement entered into between the United States and Santo Domingo on Jan. 31, 1908. by which the United States took charge of certain customs houses in order to pay the claim of the San Domingo Improve ment Company of New York.
 These amendments made the resolu-  tion general in character by striking out the preamble and all reference to any specific case. As remodeled, the resolution directs the committee to ex- anime and report to the Senate wheth- CT it is competent. under the Constitu- tion of the United States. on any agreement, convention or protocol not made by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate. but solely through the executive branch of the Govern ment. to be made with foreign gov ernment to bind such governments and to constitute a constitutional agree meot under which tha United States shall be authorized and empowered to take possession of the customs houses of such foreign government and ad- minister them.

Ru.sians Burning Stores.

Mukden, March S.--(5 A. M. .)-The Russian army is leaving positions south and southeast of Mukden. The sky Is lighted with the brilliant glare of burning warehouses where tons of commissiary supplies have been given to the flames. The retirement Is be- ing effected in perfect order, the Rus sians beating off attacks of pursuing Japanese.
 The withdrawal was necessitated by a heavvy concentration of Japanese west and northwest of Mukden wither they had transferred a large share of the forces from the southern front to reinforce the original striking force of General Nogi.
 The Russians still hold their posi- tion at Madyapu where 0 strong att tack is expected at any moment.
 A division of Japanese troops has appeared north of Mukden on the heights west of Hushatai station.
 Except for fights at Ushuntun and Taohekiao Tuesday was quiet compared with the fighting on the previous days. The Japanese evidently were complet- ing their transfer of troops.
 The Japanese arrangement for fur nishing ammunition along the enormous front is acknowledged by Russian of ficers to be admirable.
