$4,000 FOR A NINE
The Mine Was Sold by GeOrgs
Oristelow, an Operator in the
Magdalena District.
THE PURCHASERS FROM ST. LOUIS
Work Being Done Shows That There
Is Wealth Untold in the Magda-
lena District.

Thursday mornings Albuquer-
que Journal tells of recent sale
in the Magdalena mining district
and sums up the situation in that
flourishing district as follows:
The Kelly mining camp. To-
Gated in the Magdalena noun
tains near Socorro, is attracting
the attention of the mining world
to New Mexico, and is just now
the scene of the greatest activity.
George Cristelow of Kelly has
just sold to party of st. Louis
capitalists three of his claims in
that district for $4,000 and the
new company will at once start
developing its purchases. The
sale was made only after the
property had been examined by
number of able mining experts
and the price at which the prop
erty went is considered to be very
reasonable.
THE Kelly mine, which is
owned by the Tri-Bulliou COM
pany, is producing seventy-five
tons of ore daily and this pro-
duction will be increased in are
short time. The company is
working every miner to be had
and a great number of the men
employed there are from the
camps of Colorado.
The Graphic company is driV-
ing new tunnel into the ore
body from lower level and are
taking out enough ore to pay for
the development and the dead
work, hut will start operations in
earnest as soon as the tunnel is
in 800 feet further, which will
bring them into the big ore
bodies. The tunnel. which will
be 1000 feet in length, is now in
about 1000 feet, and work is be-
ing pushed at the rate OF eight
to ten feet day.
At a distance in of three hun
dred feet the Graphic company
opened sixty feet of a coutract
vein which was not knows 10
exist. This vein will also be de-
veloped after the tunnel is COM
pleted. The Graphic is owned
by the Sherwin- Williams Paint
company of Cleveland and Phila-
delphia, and is one of the biggest
mining propositions ever opened
in New Mexico. The formation
is of lime rock and the ore bodies
are twenty-five feet on an average
in thickness. Below the carbon
ate ores lie sulphides, and still
below this vein is from five to
eight feet of copper which runs
into the pictures, some of il be-
ing in native state.
The mines on which develop
ment has been done to any extent
show copper, silver, gold, lead and
zinc and the exact richness of the
great ore bodies will not be
known until they are thoroughly
developed. Enough ore has been
found to prove that the camp is
one of the best in the southwest
and a great future is prophesisd
for Kelly"

South of Magdalena about
thirty miles is the gold camp of
Rosedale. The prevailing type
of rock here is rhyolite and forms
the casing of the veins, which
are nearly all true assures. A
number of the properties here
show fair values in gold, yet no
production has ever been noted,
excepting that from the Rose
dale mine, from which the dis
trict and camp took their name.
The Rosedale mine is among
the best gold producers in the
Territory. 1t began operations
in 1893 and has kept the mill
running constantly ever since,
excepting for an interval of about
twenty months, when extending
development for the purpose of
increasing the ore reserve. The
main shaft is 1872 feet deep and
the mine is dry at the 700-foot
level. Amalgamation and cyan
iding are the methods employed
i'm the gold extraction.

FIRE IN MAGDALENA.
Residence of Tomas Luna near Allen
Hotel Burned Thursday.

Word came down from Magda-
lena Thursday by telephone that
the residence of Tomas Luna
just west of the Allen hotel was
on fire and that great excitement
prevailed for fear that the whole
business part of the town would
be consumed. Later advices,
however. said that owing to the
strenuous efforts of the fire brig
ade and the favorable direction
of the wind only the residence
was destroyed.

County. Except for Il fow rust pits The

Than $40. II is Il pipe tomahawk-
that Is, it combines the two. A neat
steel bowl, and the bundle was the

1t was never ground to keen edge
Indians preferred tomahawks rather
blunt when the weapon was meant
Ter war purposes. because a sharp thin
edge would be more likely to stick
fast If it struck bone.
1t did not belong to an Indian ma

state ceased to he the home of Indians
about 1850 to 1870. They were cxtcr-
minated or driven out about that time
by Mohawk invasion from New
York. The Indians who had their
homes along the Monongahcla, Kama

That time. and whose flint arrows we
still find in abundance, had only stone

Il different story. They are the handl-
work of white men. The Indians
bought them and carried them OH war
expeditions. The fine specimen found
near Mas0ntown was. IN all probability
lost by Some warrior OH II raid among
the settlements further east. The
warrior probably came from Ohio. and
the date may be fixed approximately
between l755 and 1890. During that
period of thirty-five years lndians
were accustomed to mako war raids
across Preston County. From 1855
the year OF Bradduck's defeat, until
about 1865. the close Of Pontiac's war
parties Of Indians occasionally used
the trail which crossed Cheat River nj
DunKard bottom In their excursions
against the settlers of Hampshire
County. The old trail PASSED near
the place where the tomahuwk wax
found, though perhaps not over the
| exact spot.
During the Revolutionary War Indi
ans made several raids into Preston
County. We can. If We choose, sup
pose that some member Of II raidinr
party lost the tomahawk during one
of these excursions
J We may also risk tho guess that
tic weapon was made In England, al.
though there is nearly as much
ground for surprising that It war
made In France. Both countries made
tomalawks and sold them To Indians

SOME APPOINTMENTS.

The legislature made several po-
sitions to be filed by the governor
The board Of pardons, a bank examln-
er, fish commission, a commission
to have charge of the state exhibit at
Jamestown.
The governor has already appoint
ed the board Of pardons, and IN the
matter Of the bank examiner will be
governed largely by the recommended
ton Of the executive committee Of the
bankers association.
The fish commission is very i'm
portant matter. The people who live
in the Piedmont section have very lit
tie idea Of what the fish industry
could mean for this state and hereto
fore almost every fish bill that has
been presented in the legislature has
been laughed "out Of court" as it
were and now that the state is going
to look into this matter as it should
we expect to see some results.
Then there are seven commission
ers to be appointed to look after the
state IS exhibit at Jamestown.
The governor will make good ap-
pointments and FIJI the positions with
men who have the ability and fitness
for the positions.
