MISTAKES HUNTER FOR QUAIL
Nimrod Fires Into Moving Brush and
Pots a Big, Healthy
Man

While hunting quail in the San Fer
nando valley near Glendale yesterday
afternoon Joe Mason, 219 North Grand
avenue, was shot in the face with bird
shot by another hunter, who said he
took Mason for a quail. The shots
inflicted two wounds in Mason's neck,
in his right ear and through the lip.
None of the wounds were considered
dangerous, although they caused
Mason a great deal of pain, and he
was taken to the receiving hospital
early last night for surgical attend
ance.
The man who accidentally shot
Mason made his escape before his
name was obtained. He said, how
ever, that he saw a rustling Of the
brush ahead of him where Mason was
walking and thinking 1t flock of
quail fired in the direction OF the NOV
ing foliage. Mason's cry of agony ar
nounced his mistake, and he fastened
to the wounded mans assistance.

WEALTH OF NEW MEXICO

1t is estimated that the mineral pro-
duction of New Mexico during the pres
ent year exceeds $6,00O,00O. From actu-
al reports of last years production the
following estimates have been made;
Coal, 100000 tons valued at $4,000, 900;
$4,000 tons of iron ore valued at over
100000; 10000 fine ounces of gold valued
at $40O, 900; 100000 fine ounces of silver
valued at $25O,00O; 100000 pounds of
copper valued at $1,350,O00; 100000
pounds of lead valued at 100000; TO-
100000 pounds of zinc valued at $780,
900, The above figures do not include
production of stone for building and
ballasting purposes, of cement, of lime,
of turquoise. The cement industry es-
pecially, is gaining a strong foothold in
New Mexico and promises to rank soon
next to coal in value of it's production.
Nevertheless, New Mexico can hardly
be called a mining commonwealth for
the value of it's agricultural products is
four times that of the mines and even
its stock industry yields greater re-
turns than mining.

awakened and sent off the sleep shift

have been sitting up all night waiting
for a cot - y
Men sit around in the lodging houses
sleeping on chairs. Now and then they
are aroused on the suspicion that they
have no money, but they invariably
pull out a handful of gold and demand
a chance to spend it for a bed.
Mr.. Bell says he has never seen such
times for money making as there are at
Goldfeld. The stock exchange is every
day a scene of the widest excitement
The morning session closes at IL o'clock
and the afternoon session opens at l
o'clock. But the intervening two hours
are not lost, for the trading is continued
on the curb with the result that by 1
O'Clock everything has gone up several
points to a new level.
Mr.. Bell has made more money in
Goldfeld than he knows what to do
with. One little deal just before start
ing for Phoenix netted him $15,000.
Goldfield properties create the same
kind of excitement though in a lesser
degree throughout the east. S. J. Ed
wards, who lately returned from Chi
cago, said that any stock bearing the
name of Goldfield is salable without
further inquiry as to it's merit. One
day friend who was talking Of buying
@ large block Of stock in one of the
Goldfield companies asked him to go
with him to the broker who was selling
il. He wanted Mr.. Edwards opinion
OF the stock after hearing the broker
talk about it. On their arrival there
they were told that the stock had been
snapped up early in the morning.

The Richest Man in Mexico

The richest man in Mexico is Pedro
Alvarado of Parral. state of Chihuahua,
who six years ago was poor peon,
but whose fortune is now estimated at
$3.50, 900, 900. He is only 80 years old
Alvarado's great wealth has been ex-
tracted from wonderful silver mine
which he discovered and has been
working and which appears to be mex
haustible. He has been spending mon
ey most extravagantly. He has built
a costly palace, which is magnificently
furnished and which has a piano in
every room, while there are in it 10000
singing birds, Of whose music the pro-
prietor is very fond The Mexican
Croesuss has offered to pay the entire
national debt of his country. He is
liberal in his charitable gifts and is
greatly beloved by the poor. Lately
he decided TO make his first visit to
the outside world, and to travel in
state from his home TO the City Of
Mexico. Alvarado is described as hon
est and conscientious and also as de-
vout. having built cathedral at his

During the month Of November
the Mohawk mine produced, accord
ing to official figures, $1,O66,5OO in
gold.
This means the amount actually
received by the treasurer of the
company, and does not include ore
in transit or in the hands of the
smelters for which settlement has
not been effected.
The output of the Red Top was
100000, the Jumbo 100000, and Com
bination SS0,000.
Hayes & Monnette, according to
the statement of G.. II. Hayes, has
S1,0SO,000 stored in the vaults of the
John S, Cook bank. Fifty per cent
of this value, or q total of $540, 900,
was extracted in November AS
this product has not passed the
stage of final settlement it is not
included in the Mohawk return, but
is added separately to the table
presented herewith.
The same rule applies to the
Frances Mohawk Lease, which has
100000 worth of ore stacked up in
public view at the State Bank and
Trust Co. Manager Oliver esti-
mates that 30 per cent Of this ag-
gregate was mined in November but
for the same reason as the Hayes &s
Monnette output, does not appear
as part of the Mohawk production.
Other producers are the Belmont,
Sandstorm, Kendall, Florence, Black
Butte, Great Bend, Combination
Fraction, Daisy, Gold Bar and st.
Ives.
