Right around their old workings,
which caved in years ago, are piles
of quartz carrying large amounts of
free gold. AS / stated before the gold
actually stand out on the quartz just
like 1t was dobbed on 1t. 1t is so rich.
when one comes to consider that the
Mexicans 40 years or more ago, with
the crude works made of rock and NOR
tar with the use of a wooden trowel.
extracted the gold from this old mine
In paying quantities. 1t Is easy to imag-
inc what can be accomplished with
modern mining machinery, mills, etc.
Samples covered with patches of gold
are being carried away by every visitor
to the place now AMI nucn wealth has
been taken in this manner"
The Ubehebe Mining ompan the
owners of the old mines. are having
a survey of the property made. AL
though the old tunnels, made by the
ancient workers are accessible and cut
through large bodies of ore, the will
start new tunnels and shafts and will
crosscut under the old tunnels and at
tack the main lodges through more mod
eril workings.
Just as soon as the surveyors COM
pletn their work whicn they are hurry
ing through on the round at present,
the company will put a large force of
men to work. 1t is claimed that the
ore is rich enough to ship with the
present facilities of transportation. and
with the increased richness of the stuff
at a greater depth and the better rail-
road facilities promised in the near
future. the company expects to be doing
a heavy shipping business before an
other year.-Bullfrog Miner.

SPANISH MINES
HAVE BONANZA SHOWING

"The gold looked like it was just
dobbed on the rocks. i never saw any
thing like it," said ID. H.. J. Mcdonald,
who has just returnIl from the Ube-
hebe district and visited the ubehcDe
Mining ~company's property, which cov
ers the old Lost Spanish or Rio Pinto
mines.
Mr.. McDonald's glowing description
of what he saw increased the nthusi-
asm of F. b. Anderson, one of the own
ers, and also caused A. D.. Whittier, the
discoverer or finder of the old mines,
to say II told you So"
The fact that Mr.. Mcdonald has no
interest in the mines gives weight to
his opinion. He was passing through
that portion. of the country and stopped
to see the famous old mines as a mat
ter of curiosity.
Il have been prospecting and have
visited all of the state" said Mr.. Me-
Donald, but I do not think l ever saw
a better showing than that made by the
Ubehebe or Lost Spanish property. Good
shipping ore lies on the dump where it
was left years ago by the Spaniards or
Mexicans, when for some reason they
were compelled to abandon their old
mines and their crude works.
Il do not believe they abandoned the
mines Intentionally. / believe that some
thing happened to hem-tha they went
away temporarily and some accident be-
fell them; that they were possibly vic
Tins of the Indians of probably persisted
while lost. l do not believe they would
have abandoned that property as rich
as it is. Some of them would have re-
turned. If they had lived, to such a good
proposition.

 Little Rock, Jan. 23.-In spite of efforts that were made yesterday to minimize the gravity of Gov ernor John s. Little's condition, it is practically admitted today that the first reports of his serious con- dition were not overdrawn and that it will probably be some time at least before he is able to resume his duties at the executive office. The announcement was made yes terday afternoon by Paul Little, the governors son and private sec retary, that his father would be at his office as usual today, but this morning it was admitted that this was impossible. Tn fact no one was permitted to even see the governor at his home today. It is said that the governors physicians have given him strict orders to give LID his active duties for sufficient l, length of time to enable him to re- cover from the nervous breakdown which he has sustained While the physicians have been reticent in discussing the case, they have ad- mitted that the governor may be kept from his office for several weeks.
 If Governor Little should accent the advise of his physicians and friends and leave the state sev- eral weeks, President John Ike Moore would occupy the governors office pro tenn, and it would be necessary to elect a new presiding officer for the senate. Some an- nouncement as to Governor Little's

 Bill to Present MObs. A bill intended to prevent mob violence, was presented in the ser- ate today by Senator Kie Oldham ot Pulaski county. The measure is Of such a drastic character that Sen ator Oldham himself declared he did not know whether or not it ought to be passed, but he asked that it be given consideration and that it be passed if the senate de- cided that it was not too drastic The bill provides that it shall be the duty of an officer to protect his and provides that any officer who shall permit a prisoner to be taken away from him shall upon convic- tion, be fined sum not less than $1,000 and sentenced to imprison- ment for not less than six months. The only manner in which an officer can escape such punishment is to show that he was wounded in the defense of the prisoner
 Arkansas Historical Commission.
 At the request of the Arkansas Historical Association, Senator Moore today introduced in the sen- ate bill creating the Arkansas his torical commission, to be composed of the governor, chief justice of the supreme court, the president of the University of Arkansas and the president of the Arkansas Historical Association. The bill carries ap- propriations for printing and other purposes. The principal item is one of S3,00O to pay the salary of the secretary of the commission for two years

 The ROOscvelt Matter.
 The house today turned down the concurrent resolution offered by Senator Legate, the sole Repub- lican III the senate, endorsing Presi- dent Roosevelt for his action in discharging the three companies of negro soldiers involved in the Brownsville riots. The resolution was adopted by the senate by a unanimous vote. When the resolu- tion was called up in the house Mr. McCollum made an extended speech in opposition to it. He declared that he did not believe in having anything to do with the man now occupying the presidential chair He reviewed the Booker T. Washington incident and the alleged attempts on the part of the president to force negro appointees on the South and declared that he thought the presi- dent responsible for many attacks upon the women of the South He declared that he did not think t',o discharge of the negro soldiers called for special commendation MT. Foster spoke in favor of the resolution, but Speaker Hamiter from the floor, expressed the opin- ion that the house should have nothing to do with the affair. Upon a vote, the resolution was defeated by a vote of 3S to AZ.
 To Investigate Further.
 The senate resolution providing for joint committee to confer with Governor Little ands Prosecut- ing Attorney Rhoton with reference to a fuller investigation of boodling in the last legislature, was adopted by the house after a rather spirited debate. Mr. Meade objected to the resolution on the ground that it reflected on the members of the last legislature. He declared that the branches of the state govern ment should be kept separate; that the legislature should attend to it's legislative duties, and that Prose- cutting Attorney Rhoton should at tend to the prosecution of the boodlers. Other members spoke strongly in favor of having a full and complete investigation of the boodling charges, and upon a vote

l lIuStVeS.
 The senate held an executive ses- 1 sion this afternoon to consider the appointment of three trustees of
 he State University made by Gov ernor Davis the day before he re- tired from office. The legality of these appointments was questioned as it was contended that the incom- ing governor should have been given the privilege of making the appointments inasmuch as he will be held responsible for the acts of the apDointeeS. The question was fought behind closed doors this aft ernoon and after an hours debate 1 the senate decided to defer action until January 31. It is regarded as practically certain that the senate will reject the appointments and it is said that the delay was agreed to by the anti-Davis men in the sen- ate in order to see what action Gov | ernor Little would take in regard i to the matter. Among the posci- bllit1es involved is that President Moore might himself may be called upon to make the appointments if Governor Little be compelled to leave the state because of his i'll health and Moore should become governor pro tenn.
 Another Rate Bill.
 Representative Poyner introduced an unusual railroad rate bill in the l house this afternoon. It required l that passengers must buy tickets. but provides that railroads more than 90 miles in length shall ] charge only cents a mile when tickets are purchased and 3 cents when they ale rot.
