INNOCENT GAME
HAS FATAL ENDING
Boy Sustains Con-
cussion of
Brain
WHILE PLAYING LEAP FROG
Suffered No Bad Effects at
First But Took Suddenly i'll
and Died Last Night.

That harmless games may some
times have fatal ending is demon.
strated in the case of Celestino Es-
cubero, a pupil in the first grade in
the High School building, who died at
the home Of his parents on Hillside
Avenue last night, from a concussion
of the brain received some three
weeks ago while playing a game of
leap frog" with number OF his
playmates near his home after school
hours.
The stories of how the accident oc-
Cured vary, but the one given the
most credence is told by several play
mates of the dead boy who were par.
ticipating IN the game when he was
injured. ....
According to them Celestno was
playing the part of frog" at the time
of the accident while the other boys
hoped over him. One of the boys
in jumping lost his balance and in roll
ing off the little fellows back he ac-
cidentally kicked Celestino in the side
of the head He was rendered sense
leA for the time being and was taken
home. The family called a physician
and after being treated, the boy seem
ed to be recovering nicely and was
able to be up and about as late as
yesterday.
Last night he was suddenly seized
with severe pain In his head and be-
fore doctor could reach his side, he
expired
While the unfortunate affair is
greatly regretted, no blame can be at
tached to his playmates, as the injury
which caused his death was received
in purely accidental manner.
The child was eight years old and
is survived by several brothers and
sisters. The funeral will probably
take place tomorrow,

ESTANCIA VALLEY
GETS BIG COLONY
Thirty Kentucky Families Settle
There-Result Of Good Work Of
Bureau of immigration.

1t is known to every citizen of New
Mexico who reads and keeps informed
on what Is going on that during the
last three years the Estancia Valley
has received many immigrants and
that especially during the year 1906
the movement Of homesteaders and
settlers to that section has been very
great and satisfactory In one colony
there are over thirty Kentucky fam
lilies settled in and about Estancia.
How this colony came here is well ex-
planned In a letter received few days
ago by the Bureau of immigration
from 3. l.. Garvin, settler himself in
that vicinity and who can be ad-
dressed by anybody who cares to at
Estancia. The letter is and ought to
be very interesting to all those who
have the good of the Territory at
heart and who desire its upbuilding
and advancement. 1t shows pretty
conclusively that the work of the Blu.
reau Of immigration counts and in the
right direction Mr.. Garvins letter
reads:

uneaslness which was prevalent yes

wild and feversh for time.
A buoyant rise in London was the
prime factor in lifting the prices here
and the orders issued by the secretary
Of the treasury after the close of the

considerable confusion was shown In
opinions as to how great this effect
would be.

CERRILLOS MINING
CAMP TO REOPEN
Denver Capitalists Secure Leases on
Valuable l-ead-zinc Properties In
the District.

w. G. Marshall. Denver mining
engineer has been engaged for the
past month in inspecting several min
ing properties In the Cerrillos mining
district and their titles for f. J. Wood
ward and 0. Fl. Kniffer, mining men
of Denver. 1t Is understood that the
results of his investigations have been
favorable and that he has secured
contracts and bonds for the purchase
of the following we'll known mining
properties in the district.
The Cash Entry Group, 80 acres;
the Grand Central, 230 acres; the
Nina del Trio, 800 acres, and other
mining claims amounting to 460 acres
more. The properties which have
been worked for many years by Thom-
as Whalen four mining claims, 40
acres in extent are said to be includ-
ed in the deal. If the project goes
through the purchasers will erect
combination mining and milling plant
on the properties similar to those in
use and in successful operation in the
Wisconsin zinc and lead sections and
large number of men will be en-
ployed
Mr.. Marshall has found a large dixie
of tungsten in one of the properties
which he says will furnish a large
supply of tungsten ore used In the
manufacture of tungsten steel and
which can be disposed of readily. 1t
is of the same character as tungsten
ores at Boulder and in very large
quantities. He also said that he found
dixie of sugar quartz which is very
extensive and which promises to pay
well if worked properly. The ore in
this dixie judging from reliable assays
runs from SIS to So per ton in gold and
as he thinks it is easily reduced 1t will
prove a good mining venture.
There are many workings on these
properties both shafts and tunnels and
much zinc and lead ore is exposed.
He believes that the zinc ore deposits
there are chemically pure and not In
connection with other ores and with
new processes recently adopted the
large bodies Of zinc ore can be worked
successfully. Some of the properties
named have been worked for many
years and are we'll known in mining
circles. Several Santa Fe men are
part owners at present and have
signed bonds and deeds which have
been put in escrow for the time be-
| ing.
If the project materializes it will be
a big thing for the Cerrillos mining
district in particular and this county
in general. At one time the Cerrillos
district was very lively and hundreds
OF men We're employed in its mines.

SURPRISE FOR JEROME
Who is Making Effort to Sc
cure Conviction For First
Degree Murder.

New York, March 15.--Consul Del
mas sprang decided surprise upon
District Attorney Jerome today by an
nouncing that he would not cross ex-
anime any of the insanity experts for
the state in the Thaw trial. He Is
confident of securing verdict Of ac-
quittal.
Sane at Time of Killing.
Jerome thereupon during the morn
ing session put five experts on the
stand, one after another and claim
ing their familiarity with the hypothe-
tical question put to the experts for
the defense and also Jerome's 10000
word exposition of the evidence,
they declared it as their opinion that
at the time Thaw shot and killed
White he knew the nature of his act
and knew that the act was wrong.
DR.. Alan McLane Hamilton, who
had been summoned as witness in
the case had long conference with
Delmas and others Of the Thaw coun-
sci before the morning session When
Jerome proposed calling DR.. Hamll-
/, ton 1t seemed to be his intention to
prove that Thaw suffered from an in.
durable form of insanity. Then came
the discovery of James Clinch Smiths
testimony as to Thaw's rational con-
versations upon Madison Square Roof
Garden and his roaming about the
place as ii looking for the man who
became his victim.
Hope for First Degree Murder.
Jerome thereupon switched his poll
cy to pressing the trial to conclu-
sion upon the indictment for murder
in the first degree.
DR.. Hamilton expressed the opin
ion that Thaw was insane when ne
saw him in the Tombs and still re-
mains so.

balanced organization and every MEM
Der of the company scored a hit. Miss
Grace Aylesworth, as Tisbe is beauti-
full young woman and acted her part
to perfection. She was deservedly given
warm reception. Ed. NJ. Kimball as
Marcus Brutus Snap, the transformer
tragedian, was a show in himself and
would make a hit in a more pretentious
production Pauline Maddern, as Mrs
Zantippe Babbit, head of the house of
Babbit gave truly artistic presenta-
ton of the strong minded housewife
and brought down the house. Esmile
Lewsing, as the eldest daughter of the
house of Babbit portrayed the part to
perfection and Clara Kimball, as Marie
showed that she is a clever little artist.
Albert Welch, as the professors son-in-
law was very good as was Ted Brackett
as the itenerant actor, in love with
Tisbe.
Last but not least, Clyde Hess. as
Professor Babbit, was exceptionally

KEELYN UNDERTAKES BIG
WORK IN VARIOUS CAMPS

velop the claims which he believer viii
produce good ore.
While here Mr.. Keelyn purchased
claims near Aikali Springs known a.
the Lost Jacks. Horse. Mule and RAM
bier. These claims were negotiated for
a year ago and a shaft was sunk 100
feet. At that time the ownership OF the
property was divided among a number
of people Hr. Keelyn has now acquired
all the interests in the property and has
arranged with Major stanton to prompt
ly and fairly develop the claims. There
is copper vein extending through the
property for a distance or 5000 feet and
over 20 feet in width. in a granite foot
wall and n lime hanging wall contact.
Very high values in copper and good
values in gold have been taken from the
property in the past. and Mr.. Keeiyn,
who takes personal pride In 1t as one
of his own selection. believes that II will
develop into big and valuable prop
erty. 1t is not his intention to incor-
porate but to cxpend about $4,000 on IL
during the present year with the hope OF
better determining the character and
extent of the ore bodies.
Mr.. Keelyn and his party of eastern
capitalists left Friday morning for the
Fitting district, whore they are inter-
terested in 90 claims. located before
the public was aware of the big finds in
that section. Major Stanton reports
the property as being extraordinarily
good as far as explored. From Fitting
the party will go to Walker Lake and
Yerington. At the latter place they will
take automobiles and visit some prop
critics In that district in which they are
interested. From Yerington they hope
to visit Wonder. Mr.. Keelyn has
owned for about year the o. X. group
and several other fine copper properties
at Yeringtcn. He has interests also In
Wonder, Seven Troughs. Gold Mountain
and other districts.
