THE ELECTION FRAUDS
Reported to Have Been Per-
petrated in the Precinct Of
San Antonio.
WERE OF THE IMAGINATION
According to Investigation by Dis
trict Attorney wolford and the
Grand Jury

AT the opening Of the present
term bf district court for Socorro
county, interested parties called
District Attorney Wolford's atten-
tion to the repeated reports that
gross election frauds were perpe-
trated at the late election in San
Antonio precinct. The principal
charges were that numerous bal
lots known To have been cast did
not appear to have been counted.
and that the ballot-box was placed
in a dark room where the voter
could not see his ballot deposited.
Mr.. Wolford told the parties to
produce their witnesses, and prom
ised to lay the matter before the
grand jury. and, if indictments
were found, TO prosecute the
guilty parties to the full extent
that the law allowed. About a
dozen witnesses were produced
before the district attorney, and
the only thing that any one of
them would testify To bearing
upon the subject was that he had
heard it reported that certain
illegal acts had been committed
at the time and place referred to.
The district attorney laid the
matter before the grand jury,
however, and produced witnesses
as long as that body would exam
inc them. The charges were dis
missed as having no evidence
whatever to support them. The
apparently indisputablc facts are
that the ballots were fairly cast
and fairly counted in San Anto-
MO precinct, and that the ballot
box was placed on table against
window, through which every
voter passed his ballot and could
see it deposited if he cared to
do SO.

From Federal Positions, According
to Bill Just introduced BY
Delegate Andrews

Delegate Andrews is still busy,
according to press dispatch of

Delegate Andrews today intro

the federal statutes respecting
officeholding in territories. The
text of this measure follows:
That no member of the legis-
lative assembly of any territory
now or hereafter organized shall
hold or be appointed to any Office
whatever by the governor of such
territory or the legislature there
of during the term for which he

bers of the first legislative assem-
bly, in any territory hereafter
organized" The bill further
provides: That no person hold
ing commission or appointment
under the United States, except

of the legislative assembly or hold
any Office under the government
of any territory" The bill was

ritories.

NEW MEXICO'S MINE YIELD
Makes an Exceedingly Fine Show
ing for the Year 1905

1t is estimated that the mineral
production of New Mexico during
the present year exceeds So, ,000,-
900. From actual reports of last
years production the following
estimates have been made: Coal,
2,000,0 900 tons, valued at SO, 3,000,-
900; 135, 900 tons of iron ore, val
ued at over $500,0 10000 fine
ounces of gold, valued at S400, 900;
400, 600 fine ounces of silver, val
ued at $250.000; 1000, 900 pounds
of copper, valued at S1.350, 900;
100000 pounds of lead, valued
at $500. 900; 100000 pound of
zinc, valued at 100000. The
above figures do not include the
production of stone for building
and ballasting purposes, of lime,
of cement, of turquoise. The
cement industry, especially, is
gaining a strong foothold in New
Mexico, and promises to rank
soon next to coal in the value of
its production. Nevertheless, New
Mexico can hardly be called a
mining commonwealth, for the
value of its agricultural products
is four times that of the mines.
and even its stock industry yields
greater returns than mining. -

"A DESERTED BRIDE.

"A Deserted Bride, which will
be the attraction at Socorro opera
house Thursday, December "a, is
said to be the most magnitcently
presented comedy-drama ever Of
fered to the theater-going public.
while in incident and theme it is
one of the most powerful, every
climax breaking with almost vol
canic intensity. So much by way
of introduction. To go into the
play itself, nothing can be said
to detract from its worth. In the
entire company, from the actor
who interprets the leading part
down to the mere stage loitererS.
there is not one single person who
has been negligently selected or
unintelligently cast. This COM
edy-drama, which lacks all the
melodramatic thunder of bygone
days, is new and unknown, but
cannot remain so, for it's magnifi-
cent staging at once becomes its
herald and sounds its own alarm.
Nothing has been sacrificed to
appearances, for there is brought
together a series of Incidents that
hold the interest as has nothing
that has come before it. The
situations, the motives, the char
acters commingle without the
least jarring or tugging or strain
ing, giving a pleasing finesse to
a story that is said to be taken
from life. The climaxes develop
quickly and break magnilicently,
while the lighter moments are as
rolling as Sousa march, the SEN
timental fragments being truly
natural and the comedy bits as
sparkling as the lights which
adorn the stage. Tickets on sale

For the Murder of John BHlings1ea and William

One more advance has been

Eliseo Wales, accomplices in the

pronounce upon them the sen

expiate the terrible crimeof which

zona court granted a rehearing Of
the Dent case aud held that the
Dastervignes decision was binding
on all courts in the niuth circuit
In criminal as well as civil cases.
and that Dent was therefore
guilty of a crime.
So far, therefore, the court de-
cisions as to the criminalitv of
trespaSs contrary 10 the forest
reserve regulationsare conflicting.
Final adjudication of the point
cannot be had until the ruling of
a higher court has been secured;
but no court has questioned the
right of the secretary of agricul-
ture tc make reRulstions and to
recover damages for trespass
through civil action.
Grazing trespassers will be re-
strained from violation of the
regulations By injunction pro-
ceedings and sued for civil dam
ages until the higher courts shall
have reached a decision as to the
criminal character of such tres
passes. The forest service will
contipue to exclude unpermitted
stock from all forest reserves and
to collect grazing fees for all stock
under permit.

There was pretty bad wreck
on the Magdalena branch Tues

the hill was crossing California
street at the Crown mill Il wheel
on a freight car broke in two in
the middle, and three cars loaded
with ore from the Kelly mine
were derailed and turned partly
over. The passenger coach re-
manned on the track. No incon-

gers, unless, possibly, some Of
them objected TO short walk to
their hotels.

by the neck until dead, and Jam
uary IL, 1907, was fixed as the
day of his execution. Valles was
sentenced to serve a term of
ninety-nine years in the terrific
rial penitentiary and to pay the
cost of his prosecution. Thus, if
the remaining scene connected
with the bringing of the perpe-
traitors of this terrible crime to
justice is enacted with the same
promptness and dispatch that has
characterized the enactment of
the preceding scenes, it will not
be long until all visible evidences
OF the deed have passed away.

A SHELTER FOR MAGDALENA
And 1t Will Be No Small Affair
Either, Say the Authorities

w. S. Traylor, head of the
Traylor Engineering company of
New York, owning and operating
the largest mining machinery
factory in America, is registered
at the Alvarado. Mr.. Traylor
arrived from the south this morn
ing and expects to leave for the
east tonight, says the Albuquer-
que Citizen.
As chief engineer of the Tri-
Bullion Mining company, owning
large mining property in the Mag
dalena district, Mr.. Traylor has
been investigating conditions in
the southwest with a view of
establishing a smelter. AS the
-eompany's largest producing pro-
pertv is at Magdalena, it is more
than likely that Magdalena will
get the smelter. -"
The plant we anticipate build
ing will be no small affair."" said
Mr.. Traylor at the Alvarado this
morning. 1T will be large enough
to reduce to the real stuff all the
ore that our mines in the district
will produce, and all the rest of
the mines in the district, too. We
are now installing at Kelly, in
our mine there, the largest ore
hosting plant to be found any
where in the west. The Magda-
lena district is one of the most
wide-awake camps in the country,
and all it needs to make it boom
is a smelter.'
