School Prosperins.

That the patrons of the Estancia pre-
einet believe in education is proven by
the enrolment in the public schools, which
is now one hundred and twenty-five. 1t
has been necessary to reject all applicants
under seven years of age, in order to ac-
comodate the rest third room has been
added and Miss Pence employed as Prm.
ary teacher, the intermediate grades being
given to Miss Nisbett.
Under the principalship of Mr.. Brown
the school is doing nicely, and both par
ents and pupils are working in harmony
with the teachers. This is commendable
and speaks we'll for the patronage and

who did not call a meeting of the central

asking that they be chosen. To this Ii
brado Valencia objected and in a neat
speech, showed that the true American
spirit was to name the delegates by viye

of Mr.. Valencia, asking for fair play. A

The chairman showed his good "for.
gettery" by ignoring adelegate, who de-
sired to move that committee on resolu-
tons be named. He probably had reasons
of his own for not wanting anything on
record.
There is no doubt that the convention
would have endorsed W. H. Andrews for
delegate, as several of the speeches CON-
tanned references to his work in the House
last session. Also the same may be said
for Joint Statehood.
A number of the delegates and citizens
were diSguSted with the way in which
things were run, and the remark was
heard that the gang were driving away
more votes than they could hope to win
back in several years, This is especially
to be deplored as "race War" is not at all
desirable in the county, but if it should
come, the native people who stood by the
gang can thank themselves for it. And
again it was thought that a meeting at
Willard, at which Hon. Carl A. Dales
was hard worker, that the Independent
republicans and the old.timerS were re-.
conciled. This may and may not be the
case.

DISCOVERY or 1IOH ORE IN A
 NEW DISTRICT.
(From wednesday's Dsily.)

Yesterday \. D. Mace. one of the old time prospcctors of this county returned from prospecting trip through the district west of Granite mountain, bringing with him speci. mons of a rich mineral find discovered by him about one mile and half west of the mountain and about one mile east of Sheep Spring, one of the noted watering places of the vicinity.
 The samples taken from the crop. pings carry high grade values m cop. per and gold and the pay shoot where it appears on the surface Is four feet iu. width aud can be traced for a con. dasrabis distance along the surface before 1t i~ lost 10 the loose rock and wash of the mountain side.
 Very little prospecting has been done in this district of late years but this new discovery promises to revive in. terest in the section and Mir. Mace is making preparations to sink a shaft at the point of discovery and develop the ledge, which appears so promising on the surface.
 Traditions of the early Spanish ex. plorations of this part of the Territory tell of . fabulously rich mine located ut tho foot of Granite mountain, from which much valuable golden treasure was taken and carried away to the old CT settlements of Mexico after tho sub. jeetion of that country to Spanish rule, but every effort to locate the lost mine has always ended in failure until to. day the tradition in looked upon as purc hessss and given but little cred. ence.
 The district is easily accessible from this city by a good wagon road of easy grades and the sections is among the best watered In the country.

NEW DISCOVERY ON GRAPEVINE
 GREEK.
(Fson wsdosoday e Daily.)

Within the past week another min. eral strike of more than ordinary i'm. portance was made in the Black Hills mining district, according to the state. ment of Bert Thorne, who arrived here last evening from that section.
 Tho scene of the new discovery is located on Grapevine Creek, where Bert Thornc and IT. l.. Sweeney own a group of twelve claims, known os the Golden Gate group, situated about two and one.hslf miles northwest of the properties of the Yaegcr Canyon Cop. per company, and about one mile east of the holdings of the Money Metals Mining company.
 Traversing the locations of the Gold. cn Gate group Is a large iron and DOT. phyry dyke, which can be traced n great distance, and in which rich veinlets of ore carrying high grade values in copper. gold and silver, ap. pear on the surface, converging to. ward the center of the dyke, which is now being pierced by a tunnel. At n distance of about l30 feet from tho mouth of this tunnel six feet of sul. phide orc was uncovered during the week which shows high grade value tn copper, as well as good gold and silver returns.
 The tunnel has been continued for several feet through the new find. which shows every indication of be. ing a permanent deposit and which appears to widen out as far as the de. velopment work has progressed.
 The porphyry dyke which is strait. hed with iron and shalc, is about 500 feet in width, where the ore was found, and the owners arc confident that the tunnel is being pushed through one of the largest deposits of ore yet uncov. cred in the Black Hills. 20 long noted for large copper and gold orc deposits of proven value.
 X good wagon road was partially built about year ago by the owners of the claims, which connects the camp with the new railroad station at Tim fell's ranch, on the Bradshaw Noun. tain railroad. about six mics distant, and the locations sover water rights with awsscr supply sufficient for any reasonable demands that may be made on it for reduction and camp pur. poscs.
