Of men who are familiar with this

The character of the formations

shown for what they are worth. As

ed. 1t is the experience of Oxendine,
who has one claim to the north of his
last strike, where he has sunk a $50
foot shaft, that the veins increase in
width and are richer IN pay ore the
deeper you go.
Discovery Attracts Prospectors.
A number of men went over to the
mountains this morning to locate new
claims in the vicinity of the Oxendine
diggings r. McElroy, the real estate

do some assessment work on a claim

strike. John May, a well known
prospector, has claims in this vicinity.
f. II. Kent, the Third street real
estate broker, expressed the opinion
that publicity should not be given
the matter just yet. He said facts
have not warranted the new field re-
ceiving any advertising and that 1t
would be unwise to create a mining
scare in Albuquerque.
In view of the varying opinions of
men who ought to know something
about the situation, II is impossible to
present the nublic at this time with
any positive statement in regard TO
the value of the new strike, but
enough has been gathered to predict
that the mining region in the neigh

of renewed activity. For many years
this district has been prospected: /:

THE JURY WILL LIVE
IN COMFORT

Boise, May ia cottage across
the street from the court house has
been fixed upon as the home for the
Haywood jury. In order to get it a
liberal bonus was paid the family liv
ing there to vacate for the period of
the trial. The house was selected
because it is close and convenient
and will enable the jury to live in
comfort.
Sheriff shad Hodgin has both a
personal and official interest in this
matter of the jury. He served,
awhile back, as member of the jury
in a criminal case, and he knows
what "roughing it. means. He in
tends that the men having to stand
the long 8rl a~dur"T siege in this
comfort. y cook will prepare their
meals at the cottage, and every Juror
will sleep in a bed. The great court
house lawn will afford them a place
for exercise.
The sheriff will adopt extraordi-
nary precautions to prevent a mis-
trial through even the appearance of
misconduct on the part of the jury.
To that end four special bailiffs will
guard them day and night.
A stairway has been constructed at
the rear Of the court house, so that
the jurors will not come in contact
with the crowd in the corridor of the
building. They will pass from the
court room through Judge Wood S
private office, down the special stair
way and across the lawn and the
street to the cottage.
AS an instance of the care which
must be exercised, the sheriff cites
case that recently figured in the
courts. A bailiff was conducting
jurors i'm a criminal case through
the streets to a restaurant, when
one of the good men and true
stepped around the corner to buy a
cigar. There was no evidence that
he had been approached" in fact
he had not been spoken to about the
case, but he had been out of the
bailiff's sight and the judge set aside
the verdict.
In the matter of Haywood the
sheriff will guard against the slight
est slip that might give ground for
criticism

.ESTANCIA HAS A
REAL SENSATION
WARD YOUNG MAN AND S16O
ARE THE FEATURES,

Special to The Citizen.
Estancia, N. NJ, May 16.-One Joe
Doe, rejecting dishonor upon the
worthy city of Kaufman, Texas, by
claiming it as his home, has been in
this place for some days endeavoring
to cast his base reflections upon us.
Al present Mr.. Doe Is putting up at
Calaboose hotel, and though he COM
plains that his quarters are small and

as a human being-he actually claims
kinship with the human race-he will
undoubtedly remain at the afore-
mentioned hostelry for an indefinite
period of time, God willing, and If
the walls and bars can hold him.
Joe came here without recOmmen-
dations or references of any kind,
and on the strength of his face-we
admit that he has a strong face
proceeded to execute his base designs
upon a fair and unoffending member
Of our community, to-wit: He OBJ
tanned $3.50 from a young lady en-
ployed in a local hotel. We won't
mention her name. He obtained this
money, which represented the saw
ings of a lifetime-as far as the life
has gone, and may the young lady
live to experience a more kindly fate
than sudden death at her present ac-
knOwledged age of sixteen summers
under false pretences. He told the
aforementioned young woman, who is
now in the flower of her credulity,
that he owned a bank in the prosper
Gus town of Kaufman and that he
had come away without his check
book He intimated that he needed
just $50 to buy a cigar and get his
laundry away from Charlie" and he
showed his laundry ticket to substan-
tate the story. The poor girl bit.
The young ladys father, who is a
handy man with the pen-and the
hotel stationery is free-wrote to
Kaufman, Texas, to learn a few facts
appertaining to the said Joe Doe
He didn't learn anything about the
person in question, for the good peo-
pie of Kaufman had never heard of
such an individual. From this Mr..
Father -of-the-Girl surmised that Joe
Doe was not a George Washington in
Yeracity and had him pinched by the
arm of the law or the fingers of au-
thority-I forget which. Anyway
Joe is safe, though in good spirits.
Joe's record here since he got the
$3.50 has been picturesque. The
man is said to drink to eXcess-at
least he was drunk every day up to
the time of his arrest.

DYNAMITE CAPS BLEW
OFF FINGERS
OF BOY
Bryan Wilson Touched Match
to Dangerous Explosive
and is Now In Bed.

As the result of playing with dyna-
mite caps yesterday, Byran Wilson,
the eight-year-old son OF II. N. Will
son, who has offices at the Occident-
al building on East Railroad avenue.
lost a thumb and two fingers OF his
left hand.
The boy, while rumaging through
a house which his father owns on
Broadway, found a box of caps. Dr..
Wilson, though he was not aware that
the caps were dangerous, cautioned
his son TO leave them alone. DIR. VIII
son put a few of the caps in his
pocket intending to find out what they
were when he went to his office. At
4:30 in the afternoon, the doctor re-
celved a telephone message from his
home at III South Arno street, urg-
ing him to come at once to attend
his son, who had blown off three fin
gers with dynamite. The Doctors
carriage was at the door Of the Oc-
cidental building and he drove in
haste to his son. The boy had been
rendered unconscious, but had re-
covered somewhat by the time the
father arrived.
He held up his bleeding fingers, the
aesh from which was partly blown
away. He was put under chloroform
and the doctor performed an op-
Grafton, amputaung the thumb and
first and second fingers to the first
joints. Pieces OF the brass cap struck
below the boys knee, but left no
more than a brulse there.
Contrary to his fathers advice.
Bryan Wilson had taken a few OF
the brass caps and tried to set them
off by pounding them with rocks. For
some reason the caps, which were
the dangerous dynamite caps used in
blasting, did not go off; then the boy
and a playmate tried matches to sci
them off. This method succeeded with
the above mentioned result
Said DR.. Wilson: "The boy Is now
I'm bed, but doing well. He will not
be able TO be out for a week"

BACA BEGS MURDER
ESSES TO TELL
THE TRUTH
Victim Was Asked to Select
His GrdVe...Hdd Pounds
of Glass Ready

L. w. Gales, representing the
Occidental Life Insurance company,
returned to the city yesterday morn
ing from Hillsboro n. M. where he
spent a week selling insurance Mr..
Gales says that the murder trial,
which took place at HillsbOrO last
week, and at which two women were
convicted and sentenced to be hang
ed, is the most important murder
trial in the annals of the Sierra coun-
ty district court.
'It was one of the strangest trials
l ever witnessed, too" said the in
surance man.
Il don't believe that Baca, who the
girls say put them up to the murder,
had anything to do with it. The day
that he left Hillsboro for Santa Fe,
afer having been ordered to the peni-
tentiary, he went to the Jail, where
the murderesses were confined, and
asked them If they wouldn't tell the
truth.
81 may never see you again girls
he said Come, tell the truth. You
know. that I didn't tell you to kill
Madrid"
with this, he was led away" con-
tinued Mr.. Gales. And l don't
think that he even knew that the
murder was to be committed. The
Madrid woman was in love with him
and that was the motive for the
crime.
at developed at the trial that on
the evening that the women gave
Madrid the poison they took him for
a walk and took him to the grave
yard and asked him to pick out his
grave. When Judge Parker asked
them why they took him for a walk,
they said that they thought that the
Rough-on-Rats would oct better II
the man was given a little exercise.
at also developed that the woman
had pounded up some glass to give TO
Madrid In case that the poison did
not do the work.
"The negro woman has the reputa-
ton of having taken an active part
in a similar poisoning at Silver city
when a man died thee from rat pois-
