NOT A MODEL MONTH
November Behaved Itself Badly in a
Climatic Way-However it was
Worse Elsewhere.

1t isn't safe to speak about the
weather to healthseekers just now,
still the Weather Bureau of Uncle
Sam in this city, today gave out the
official summary of weather data for
the month just passed, which seemed
to have been the gloomiest and cold
est November old residents remem-
Der. Strange to say, the statistics do
not make such bad showing at all.
For instance. there were 63 per cent
of sunshine during the month, per-
centage which would make any east
ern city sit up with pride and adver-
tise itself as a veritable house of sun
shine, percentage seldom attained
even in years of the clearest weather
at Philadelphia, or Chicago, or in
Florida or on the Pacific coast north
of Los Angeles. The record also shows
that last month there We're only three
days without sunshine But so &C.
customed is Santa Fe to unbroken
sunshine, that on account of these
three days. the entire month appeared
gloomy. There were seven days with
100 per cent of sunshine but six of
these occurred before November 13.
Since then, the sunshine average has
been a little less than fifty per cent
The humidity was also unusually
high, 81 per cent, while there was
deficiency in temperature of one per
cent day. The maximum tempera-
ture was Ga degrees on November g.,
the lowest 4 degrees on November 20.
The greatest daily range was 20 de-
grees on November 8, and the least
range 10 degrees on November 3O
There has been deficiency in tenn
perature since New Year of 337 de-
gees. The precipitation during No
vember was only ,6S of an inch and
the snowfall 2.6 inches The great
est precipitation during any twenty
four consecutive hours was AS of an
inch on November rs. There has been
an excess in precipitation since New
Year of AZ of an inch. The prevail
ing direction of the wind was from
the northeast and the total move
ment was 5,SO7 miles; the average
hourly velocity 81 miles and the max
imum velocity 81 miles per hour from
the southeast on November 20. There
we're 13 clear days, 12 partly cloudy
days and cloudy days. There were
eight days on which more than O1 of
an inch of precipitation occurred.
Two fogs occurred during the month,
on the mornings of November Sd and
4th The strongest consolation to
Santa Fe is that November weather
was a good deal worse at Denver,
Colorado Springs, FL Paso, Texas, and
other points which are climatic rivals
OF Santa Fe, and that 1t was far su-
perior to the ordinary weather that
prevails in the humid regions.

ARIZONA ORPHAN CASE
Dismissed for Want of Juris-
diction...Miss ssippi Rail
road Suit.

Washington, Dec. 3.--The supreme
court of the United States dismissed
today for want of jurisdiction the
case of the New York founding hos
pital VS.. John G. Gattl, This decision
revived the story of about forty or
phan children sent from New York to
Arizona in 1904, which at the time re-
ceived much attention. The effect OF
the decision is to leave in effect the
decision of the Arizona supreme court,
which was favorable to Gatti.
Idaho Men Must Remain in Prison.
The supreme court of the United
States today decided the habeas cor
pus cases of Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone, representatives of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who are
now held prisoners in Idaho on a
charge of completely in the murder of
former Governor Steunenberg, adver-
sely to the men. The opinion was
by Justice Harlan. The effect of the
decision will be to continue to hold
the men in confinement for trial in
Idaho
Did Not Matter About Extradition.
Justice Harlan said that in the
habeas corpus in the United States
courts, the method of extradition of
the defendants was not material. The
merits of the case did not involve
such a point, as that phase was not
presented. The only question in
volved was the right of the state
courts to proceed with the cases, of
which there could be doubt. Justice
McKenna delivered a dissenting opin-
ion holding that they had right to
invoke the aid of federal courts to
correct any improper methods used in
securing extradition He said that
kidnapping under the law is no more
justified than when performed out
side of the law, where every effort
of the authorities is used to prevent 1t.

EXTENSION TELEPHONE SET
AIDS IN CROOKS CAPTURE

A full-fedged negro burglar was
captured at the home of Henry D.
Pierce, 1415 North Meridian street.
about 3 O'Clock this morning, says the
Indianapolis News of July "a. The
capture was due largely to the bravery
of Mary Harold, the housekeeper. who
heard the man prowling about the
house. The police surprised the bur-
glar and caught him hiding behind a
door There is conclusive evidence
that he is the burglar who visited a
number of North Side homes.
Mrs. Pierce had an extension tele-
phone in her room and when she was
awakened by Miss Harold she called
just loud enough for the desk SER
geant to hear through the phone, Mrs.
Pierce told him that burglars were in
her house, and to send the police.
Bicyclemen Hall and Mullen fairly
raced to the place, and they we're ad-
mitted by Miss Harold. With drawn
revolvers the police went from room
to room as fast as the lights were
switched on.
The house was pretty thoroughly
searched without the burglars being
found, and the bicyclemen supposed
that the affair was a burglar scare.
Miss Harold, however. was positive
in declaring that she heard man in
the house and she pointed to articles
of value that had been piled about on
the lower floor as evidence that there
had been an intruder. She finally
walked into Mr.. Pierce's den and turn
ed on the lights. She did not see any
thing in the room to excite her suspi-
cion that anyone was present. and she
walked out. A moment later one Of
the bicyclemen looked behind door
in the den and there stood burly me-
gro. The burglar surrendered and he
stepped out a prisoner.
We have low rates on these instru-
ments now. You may be sorry II you
do not have an extension telephone in
your house-The Colorado Telephone

MELLEN WAS PARDONED
BEFORE HE DIED

Unaware that his sins had been par
doned and that in the office of Cover
nor Mcdonald reposed full and COM
plete legal pardon for his offense
against his fellow citizens. Herbert
Mellen, whose death came in the Can
on City penitentiary hospital at 11;2o
o'clock Friday night. died with the CON
viction on his soul that stern law had
refused forgiveness even at the hour
of death.
Signed and sealed late Friday after
noon the precious pardon which might
have borne one moment of joy and re-
lief to the dying man. lay on the desk
of the governor, while in the saddened
hospital of the prison Bert Mellen. one
time society favorite of Denver, spent
the agony of his last hours.
1t was o'clock Saturday morning,
eight hours after the last spark of life
had gone from the man it concerned,
that the first news of the pardon was
telephoned to Canon City. Two hours
later an official copy of the document
was handed to Warden John Cleghorn
at the Brown Palace hotel in Denver,
but Bert Mellen had gone to his rest
a convict so far as the dying man him
self was aware.
For several days the friends of Bert
Mellen, including his brother. William
Mellen, and his staunch friend. Major
Zeph Hill, had been urging Governor
Mcdonald to issue a pardon to the dy-
ing man. On Thursday Major Hill tel
ephoned to the governor and entreated
him to act Friday the chief executive
saw Warden Cleghorn and the report
of Mellen's serious condition was con-
firmed At once the governor issued
orders for the drawing OF pardon,
and without being ofncially submitted
to the board OF pardons the document
was signed later in the day OF Friday.
Governor McDonald's pardon was is
sued on the basis of charity and JUS
tice. 1t reads:
Executive Chamber, Denver.
Whereas, 1t has been represented
to me that Bert Mellen is very low with
typhoid fever at the state penitentiary.
and that there is very little hope for
his recovery from the disease, and
Whereas. the warden of the peni-
tentiary and the members of the board

members of the penitentiary commits

]. A. Bellefuelle, an expert of known
reliability, who went into the district
to superintend the workings on the
Springfield mine, became SO positive
of its wealth that he has organized a
company of his own to take up the
exploitation of one of the mines.
B. F. Upton, manager of the Ancho-
ria-Leland mines at Cripple Creek,
camped in the gulch for five days. and
became so thoroughly convinced of
of its possibilities, that he too took
a bond and lease on a mine, and is
now engaged in developing the prop
erty.
Mr.. Upton has, in his professional
capacity, been very successful in vir-
gin territory. He says the Red Gulch
district, is in his opinion, very similar
to the Yavapai district of Arizona.
One mine, the Springfield, of the Red
Gulch Gold-Copper Mining and Milling
company he compares with the United
Verde of that famous country. Mr..
Bellefuelle and Mr.. Gldden, both of
whom have been employed in the
United Verde. corroborate the opinion
of Mr.. Upton. In fact every mining
man of experience, who has visited
the Red Gulch district has voiced the
opinion that the district will, in a very

e. G. Bettis, president of the Red
Gulch Gold-Copper Mining and Milling
company has the utmost faith in the
success of the Red gulch as a big
copper producer. Before he organized
the company he spent his own money
in developing and investigating the
mines. Mr.. Bettis was a pioneer in
the Cripple Creek district and develop
ed some of its best paying properties.
The Red Gulch Copper Mining and
Milling company is the most active in
its exploitation of the mines of the
gulch. This company has opened re-
Gently in the north drift at the 100
foot level of its Springfield shaft, a

The smelter returns on this e are on
basis of so to 65 per cent copper.
The company is now engaged in
building cabins and installing new and
more powerful machinery. In the
near future, as soon as cabins can be
built for the workmen. the Red Gulch
company will have 100 men at work.
This company too. intends to erect
mills as soon as the mine is suffl-
ciently developed to produce the guam
tity to justify the more extended oper-
alton.
geologist and student of mining
who recently visited the Red Gulch
camp says that the geological condi-
tions are right for an enormous supply
of the mineral. The ore appears in
true fssure veins and in deposits
strong and we'll defined. The ores
are glances, oxides, suiphides and car
Donates. The territory is extensive
and the mineral appears in veins and
deposits of sufficient magnitude to en-
courage capital In its exploitation.

BIG COPPER DEPOSIT is
UNCOVERED IN RED GULCH

The price of copper last Friday was
eighteen and five-sixteenth cents a
pound. In 1894 copper was seven cents
cial News gave a summary of a table
of the principal copper spplies of the
world for the preceding seventeen
years. The total supply for 1897
reached higher figure than had been
previously recorded: 396,728 tons.
The United States furnished 216,10S
tons of this amount. Last year the
state of Michigan alone produced
1,041 500 tons, Arizona nearly as much
with the other states to hear from. and
yet the price of copper is steadily ad-
yancing.
Colorado has not been generally
considered as copper producing state
its wealth in copper has been
overshadowed by it's gold and silver
and coal.
Last year the output of the bold
mines of the state was $24,463, 1922, oi
the silver mines, $7,9S5,O28, and OF
coal, $S,751 ,s21.
1t will, perhaps, be a matter oi
surprise to those accustomed to say
do h IN, 1oo rr
that there was mined in Colorado last
year 9,5O6,944 pounds of copper, which
at present prices is worth $1,816,32O.
This production, small though it is
in comparison, demonstrates thai
there is copper in Colorado. Ant
there is yet another fact: in the Rec

there has been opened recently what
promises to be as rich copper mines
