BUT MEET DEATH
Men Nearly Asphy-
xiated While at
Work in Shaft.
ACCIDENT At HILL PROSPECT
Aperture Fills With Gas
and Emplc yes Barely
Escape.

Death from aspnyxiation at the bot
tom of Milo Hills prospect coal mine
about three and half miles north
east of Santa Fe, was the fate barely
escaped by Sixto Manzanares and
Jose Manzanares yesterday afternoon.
In trying to rescue one of his men,
Mr.. Hill was partially overcome by
he gas and the opportune arrival Of
assistance is perhaps all that sayei
him.
For several weeks Mr.. Hill has been
prospecting for coal on a tract OF
and which he owns in the foothills
just above the old Bishops Ranch
He has been doing considerable blast
ing and the shaft has been sunk forty
feet. With two employees he was a.
work on the shaft yesterday. Sixto
Manzanares went down the Shaft first
and sent up a large bucket of dirt
He had been down but short time
when the gas began to affect him
He at once knew what the difficulty
was and from the bottom of the mine
told Mr. Hill that he would have to
come up.
Brother Goes to Aid.
Mr.. Hill lowered the bucket to nim
but when he started to draw it up,
he felt that Manzanares was not com.
ing with 1t. as@
AS quickly as possible he sent the
unconscious mans brother into the
shaft with rope, instructing him to
place 1t around Sixto's shoulders. In
this manner Mr.. Hill succeeded in
bringing him to the surface. By this
time Jose Manzanares had also be-
come affected by the gas and In his
excitement neglected to come up him.
self.
Fortunately Mr.. Hill noticed two men
passing on the road and summoned
their assistance. He then went to the
bottom of the shaft to rescue his sec.
ond employe, leaving the two men who
had just come up to manipulate the
windlass which would bring them to
the top. After fastening the POPE
around the already unconscious MINIS
shoulders, Mr.. Hill grabbed hold of
rope and together they were taken
out.
Saved BY Mems Arrival.
Had it not been for the opportune
arrival of the two passersby It is GER
tain that the experience would have
resulted fatally.
Both Sixto and Jose Srari4anares.
were unconscious for several hours
and even after regaining conscious
ness were attacked by nauseous
sickness. They are recovering from
the effects, however, and no serious
results are expected.

MEET TO FIX
APPORTIONMENT
Governor, Territorial Secre-
tary and Chief Justice
in Session.

Governor Hagerman, Chief Justice
Mills and Secretary Reynolds met in
the executive Office at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to arrange for the appor.
tionment of delegates to the consti
tNtional convention, should one be
held.
1t will be several days before the
result Of the meeting will be made
known officially, but it is said that
the apportionment given in Thurs.
days New Mexican is almost correct.
There may be some minor changes
in the official apportionment.
During the past week there has
been some talk among politicians of
electing some of the delegates to the
constitutional convention from the
Territory at large instead of by dis.
tricts. This might be arranged by
creating Territorial district com.
posed of each county where the vote
is not sufficiently large to entitle it
to an additional delegate.
Governor Hagerman says the plan
Is impracticable and in his opinion
against the law, The other members
of the apportionment commission
agree with the governor.

TELLSOF GROWTH
OF OTERO COUNTY
H. H. Major, Says Proposed
Forest Reserve Will In
jure Settlement.

H. H. Major, probate clerk and re-
corder of Otero County, and the first
Republican ever elected to that Office
who yesterday took the examination
for admission to the New Mexico Bar
Association, Is very enthusiastic over
the future prospects for his countys
When seen by representative of the
New Mexican this morning he had
the following to say:
"Otero County is in better condi,
ton now than it has ever been be-.
fore. For the first time In it's his.
tory 1t Is out of debt as far as cur.
rent expenses are concerned. Of
course our county is new and at the
present time we have not great
deal to boast of as far as agriculture
is concerned, but the county Is de.
veloping in remarkable fashion.
During this year more than 100
settlers have come to Otero County
and taken up public lands. Most of
them we're Missouri people and have
returned home to make final prepar-
ations for establishing themselves in
their new homes. They comprise an
excellent class of people and when
they become permanent residents In
the county this fall will assist ma.
terially in its growth. Where possible
farm lands are irrigated, but those
who tried dry farming last year were
successful. '
Concerning the forest reserve,
which the goverFtnent has under con-
tgaplation, z ,.ipst say that l am
opposed f.. - IN the grounds that we
need tie lands which the reserve Will
include to assist us in developing the
rest. Much Of this land, which the
government proposes turning into a
reserve, is cut up by canons, but con.
tains tracts of five acres and larger
on VIII: ch a settler could establish
himself and thrive, considering that
the rest of his homestead tract would
consist of fine grazing lands.
"The growth of the mining town OF
Orogr rlnde is remarkable. It has a
population of about 1000 people, a
water works system consisting OF
twenty-five miles of pipe and large
smeltet is now under course of con
strucd1n. The growth of the town Is
due largely to the efforts of George
j. Greene, president, and R. G. Mul
len, secretary, Of the Southwestern
Mining and Smelling Company. Both
men are on the ground and doing all

ests OF the community"

Washington, D. c., June 29.-At 1
p. m. the Senate agreed to the con
,erence report on the railroad rate

the bill passed joint resolution
which makes the rate bill go into

md immigration was adopted by the
Iouse today. This passes the bill.
The House today adopted the con
ference report on the Lake Erie Canal
bill. This bill passed.
The public building appropriation
bill was sent to conference by the
House.
Barley and TilIman Clash.
In the course of the debate on the
conference report on the railroad ra {
bill, Bailey and Tillman engaged in
very sharp controversy over the lat
ter's denunciation Of lawyers.
The Texas Senator indicated that
in his opinion this was demagoguery
Tillman, while contending that he
respected all lawyers Of standing, said
he had utter contempt for shysters
and men who pack political conven-
tions. There was intense feeling for
a few moments, but it passed away.
Senator Tillman called up the con-
ference report on the railroad rate
bill today and renewed his attack up
on the pipe line amendment as being
in 1.-The interest of the Standard Oil
Company. He considered the Presi-
dent had been inconsistent In not
coming to the assistance of the SEN
ate conferees.
Aid for Isle OF Pines.
The joint resolution providing for a
temporary government for the Isle
of Pines was today introduced in
the Senate by Senator Dick At the
request of Senator Morgan 1t was
read and referred to the committee

Canal zone government to the islands.
/" Withdraws Objection.
Senator Beveridge, who introduced
the original meat inspection amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation
bill, has withdrawn mis- objections to
the House substitute and this is taken
as an indication that the Senate will
today instruct its conferees to accept
the House provision. The Indiana
Senator said he was in favor of COM
pelling the packers to pay the cost of
inspection and to place the date of in
spection of cans of meat, but in the
interest of practical legislation the
purify meat products, he would not
stand in the way. because the Govern
ment is required to pay the cost of in.
spection. The Senate leaders believe
the outcome must be concession to
the House.
House Stands Pat.
When the conferees on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill met today, the
House representatives announced that
under instructions voted by the House,
they would be compelled to insist
upon the House provision in regard to
meat inspection without a compromise
of any kind. The Senate conferees
stood out for the compromise PROPOSE
tion offered by Senator Proctor to di-
vide the expense Of inspection be-
tween the packers and the Govern
ment.
