No Pardon for Peters.

Denver-At n special meeting Fri
day the Board of Pardons refused to
pardon Charles o. Peters, murderer Of
Mrs. Amanda Youngblood, now under
sentence to die the week beginning
May Goth. The action of the board was
unanimous and no hope of commuta-
ton even was given. However, Peters
will not hang as long as there is any
question of his sanity.
Various petitions for Communication
having failed before, friends of Peters
in Ohio sent Mr.. Moulton here last
week to ask for n release OF Peters on
the ground that he was insane. H. A..
Lindsey, district attorney who prose.
cuted the trial. was in favor of com
mutation and Judge Palmer. who pre-.
sided at the trial, signed the petition
for n pardon. Mr.. Moulton said after
the pardon was refused that he felt
all possible had been done.

REPRIEvE FOR coNLEY.
Carried by Night Ride From Embudo
to Taos.

Albuquerque, n. M.-John Conley,
the double murderer, was saved from
the gallows Friday after almost an all
nights ride over mountains, through
canons and over sandy valleys.
Governor Hagerman, who was still
in the city, at the last moment granted
reprieve for one week in order to in
vestigate Conley's alleged insanity.
How to get the reprieve to Sheriff Lu-
cero of Taos was a puzzle to the gov
ernor, as Taos is forty miles from the
closest telegraphic connections, and
the small stations in that section of
New Mexico close at p. m.
The governor wired to Tres-Piedras
and then Espanola, but at one place
no operator could be reached and at
the other no courier could be obtained
to venture with the reprieve to Taos
for fear that friends of the dead men
would interrupt and cause trouble.
Embudo was next tapped, and after
a delay an operator received the mes
sage. A trusted messenger, with in
structions to spare no expense in new
mounts on the road, was secured and
sent from Embudo toward Taos with
the important reprieve telegram.
He reached Taos just before day
break, after hard. forced ride, and de.
livered the telegram to Sheriff Lucero,
who told the gathering crowd that the
hanging had been declared off.

New Plant for Empire.

Vast quantities OF low-grade ore are
being held in reserve by the owners
of the Gold Dirt, Gold Bug. Conqueror
and other principal mines of the camp.
says an Empire correspondent, TO
await the introduction OF treatment
methods that will insure them at least
fair percentage of the values con-
tanned in their product.
Empire has been selected as the site
for the erection of IA plant. Employ
ing the Mcdonald furnace as the re-
duction medium for class and charac-
ter of ores that have been found TO fur
nish the constituents best adapted for
successful treatment by the MacDon-
aid method. Comparison with the ma
terial handled at Durango. Mexico, by
the Lustre Mining Company. where the
furnace alluded to has been in opera
ton for the past six years, indicates
such similarity in composition as to
practically reduce experiment to IA GER
tainty at Empire.

ings and install machinery as early as
the weather will permit.

Strike in the FL Paso.

Extraordinary values are being
mined at the 300-foot level of the El
Paso, in the Cripple Creek dis
trict. Within the last eight or ten
days. from a small area, there has been
taken probably $4,000 of the richest
class of ore that the mine has ever
produced, and perhaps 1t Is as rich as
any that has ever been broken at any
mine in the Cripple Creek district for
many years, says the Denver News
correspondent. The mineral Is worth
about $500 sack. each sack weigh
ing nearly eighty pounds. an average
of about 800 per pound. Two sacks
of the bonanza are gotten out by one
shift and three by another shift OF
miners each day. About n year ago
the El Paso company took from
pocket of moderate dimensions $50,
900. The latest discovery appears to
be equal In value per ton.

Increased Gold Production.

Figures gathered by the Financial
Chronicle of this city. show that the
worlds production of gold is still
steadily mounting, says the New York
Tribune. Each of the last three calen-
dar years has seen new record made.
Up to 1903 the biggest annual output
had been 15,22O263 ounces-valued at
1914 ,630,233. That amount had been
mined in 1899, the year before the
Boer war suspended operations in the
Transvaal. In 1903, with the Johannes
burg region again tranquilized, the
1899 record was broken: production
reached 15.77S,016 valued at
1926, 159,9 ,991. In 1904 it rose to 1879
44S ounces-valued at $346.034,52 In
1905 still greater advance has been
registered, the output reaching 1921
419 ounces-valued at S376,462,S11.
Since 1896 the worlds annual gold pro-
duction has virtually doubled. Since
1856 1t has nearly quadrupled. Our age
is pre-eminently a golden age. for gold
has at last become so plentiful as to
force recognition everywhere as the
worlds single primary money metal.
The United States in 1905 passed
Australia as gold producer. and stood
second in rank to Africa. Our output
was 4,219,2S0 ounces. against $685., ,4SO
ounces in 1904. Africa produced s.
494,473 ounces, against 4,163,541 in
1904. In the United States Colorado
led in gold production with 1,225,500
ounces. and California came second
with about two-thirds as much. Alas
ka's output is growing rapidly. having
nearly doubled since 1908, but on the
British side of the Alaskan line pro-
duction is decreasing. so that the cen
ter of mining operations in the sub
Arctic region will soon shift to Amer
lean territory. The search for gold
continues unabated the world over
and never before have the results of
that search contributed more power
fully to general progress and prosper
