JOHN DERh ON
TINTIC MINES
After Inspection Tells of COndl-
tons at May Day, Uncle Sam
and Lower Mammoth.
UNCLE SAM OPENS UP WELL
AND MAY HAVE THE BECK TUN-
MEL FlSSURE.
UNCLE SAM OPENS UP WELL

John Dern, who is now president and
general manager of the Uncle Sam,
May Day and Lower Mammoth compa-
MES, returned from his trip of inspec-
ton to the properties of those corpora
tons yesterday morning highly pleased
with what he saw and the improvement
that has taken place in the Uncle Sam
and Lower Mammoth during the two
months that he was absent in Califor-
mia He went through the May Day,
which is now closed down pending the
shaping up of a new campaign, and ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
the looks of things there. He stated
that work would be shortly resumed,
but until il was. there was nothing
much to say about the proposition.
Uncle Sam Development.
Manager Dern stated that conditions
at the Uncle Sam were much better
than anything that he had anticipated.
During his absence development had
been pushed on the 500 level and here
he found an enormous body of ore ex-
posed. For 100 feet or more the ore has
been proven up and. while a large per-
centage of it is second-class, the grade
is improving as development pro-
crosses. Mr.. Dern explained that Oc
casiOnaI streaks of the ore would carry
values that are sensational, but he de-
clined to give any figures for publica-
tion, as he considered such material
merely incidental. \ well set theory
has developed at the property that the
Beck Tunnel vein or fissure has swung
with the contour of the hill and passed
into the Uncle sam; that it has been
opened on the 500 level. Ores from the
two mines have been piled up in sep
araIe heaps on the $40 level of the
Uncle Sam property and men from the
Beck Tunnel workings have been I'M
able TO distinguish which was which.
But whether the theory of those who
are and have been studying the pTopO-
sition materializes or not, the condi-
lions are such, Manager Dern says
that the future of the property pre-
sents a rosy hue. The drift from the
bottom of the shaft below the Humnug
tunnel level has thiTty-fiVe or forty feet
vet 10 90 to connect with the ore body
that runs into the property from the
Yankee Consolidated.
Lower Mammoth Is Looking Fine.
At the Lower Mammoth the new
electric hosting plants are now doing
splendid work and the mine is con-
stantly improving. Stopping in the ore
body on the 1,500-leVei is progressing
and a raise of six sets shows the extent
of the shoot on this level to be much
larger than at first anticipated. Work
is being retarded a little on account of
the difficulty in keeping a full crew Of
miners. though the force is being aug
Inented as opportunity offers
On the 1.700-fOOt level development is
progressing well and the driving in ore
already done makes it plain that the
big shoot is going TO prove both larger
and richer as depth is attained. on
this level the values are much better
than on the 1,500. and there is every
indication that deeper levels will dis
close a corresponding betterment of the
ore values.

LOST BULLION MINE
VERITABLE BONANZA
Leading Mining Expert Gives Valu-
able Testimony for Defense in
Case on Trial at Denver.

Denver, Aug. 16-The defense in
the Lost Bullion Spanish Mines Com
pany case now on trial in the federal
district court here placed Professor
Karl Linderman of Boulder on the
stand as the first witness and his tes-
timony, coming as it did from one OF
the foremost mining experts of the
country, will be very hard for the
United States attorneys to discredit
In brief Professor Lindermans testi.
mony was as follows:
"In my judgment, the value of the
property of the Lost Bullion Spanish
Mines Company is upwards of $40, 0,000,-
900. There is from 100000 to $780,
900 of ore in sight, and the ultimate
possibilities of the mine are immense 4"

Wanted at San

bezzlernent
DIAMOND RING HIS UNDO|NG
Borrowed Sparkler as "Mas-
cot" in Roller Skating

Requisltion papers were signed thls
afternoon by Governor Curry for the
extradition of Harry Curtis Archer,
otherwise known as Professor Archer,
who is wanted in San Francisco on a
charge of embeZzling a diamond ring
valued at $500. Archer was arrested
at Albuquerque week ago upon in
structions from the San Francisco
police and has since been confined
in the Bernalillo County jail.
Detective Sergeant E. ODea of San

the required executive permission OF
having Archer taken back to San

after the performance he returned to
San Francisco, where he Soaked" the

ELEVEN YEAR OLD
BOY A SUICIDE
Roswell Youth Arrested for Theft
Seeks Escape From Punishment
in Death.

Roswell, N. NJ, Aug. 16.-One of the
youngest cases of premeditated self
destruction on record is that of Low.
ell Cooley, the eleven-year-old son OF
e. P. Cooley, an engineer on the Pecos
Valley Railroad, who shot and killed
himself at the family home here yes
terday.
The boy had been called before Pc.
lice Judge Metmer about a month ago
for disorderly conduct, and Wednes'
day had been arrested again for steal
ing $40 from a bicycle shop. He had
been released to appear the following
morning before the judge with his
father.
The boy went home and began
brooding over the affair. He did not
expect his father and stepmother
would help him out Of his trouble, as
he complained to the Judge that his
home was not happy, and it is believed
that his boyish mind could see no way
out of the affair but by death.
The police Judge had been exceed
ingly lenient and kind with the boy,
but he feared the worst when the case
came to trial.
The boy took a revolver from
drawer in the home and went out to
the COW lot. His father called to him
to bring the COW home The lad sat
down by tree, and again the father
called to him to bring the COW. The
little fellow answered that. he would

STRIKE RETARDS
FEDERAL BUSINESS
Government at Washington Seriously
Handicapped and May Be Forced
to Interfere.

Washington, Aug. 1G.--The govern
ment is beginning to feel in tender
spots the effect of the general strike
Of the telegraphers. Government Of
ficals are not yet making any for
nal complaint to the companies, but
they are anxious to know what be-
comes Of the matter that Is sent to
them from the departments here for
transmission.
The Navy Department and the State
Department get numerous cablegrams
and kilograms every day, but today
the number received could be reck-
oned on one hand. The Navy Depart
ment does not know whether its or
ders to ships have been sent. and 1t
knows very little as to the movement
Of the ships at any point of the globe
Every one Of the departments has out
side connections that very often re-
quire daily handling. This seems
now to be impossible
1t Is thought here that the chances
of arbitration are growing less every
minute, and that the striking opera
tors have gone out to stay out TIL their
grievances, as they have declared
them specifically, are removed. This
fact causes the belief that the govern
ment must soon be appealed to by
the general public, or that the govern
ment must take the initiative. How 1t
will be done or can be done Is up to-
the President and his cabinet, and es-
pecially to Secretary Root and Sec.
rotary Taft, the big lawyers of the
cabinet. Something is expected to
drop today when Secretary Taft gets
here, as the government has lines of
its own which will be blocked by the
paralysis of the commercial lines.
That condition gives the Secretary OF
War an opening on which to make
some inquiries as to the ability or dis
ability of the Western Union and the
Postal to do the business of the gov
ernment
Secretary Taft's department 1t Is
said, was able to get only one mes
sage today, and that was from Cuba
relating to the death of Wesley E.
Metcalf, yellow fever patient at
Cienfuegos.
1t is reported today that steps are
being taken by the telegraph COM
panies to secure the services of for
mer telegraphers who are now In gov
| ernment and private employ, to work
, on the night forces at the several Of
fees. The officers of the executive
strike committee say they will request
!, an order against the so-called "sun
downers.
The effect Of the strike was brought
home hard to Washington when the
local Postal and Western Union men
left their keys. Ninety per cent OF
the former and seventy per cent OF
the latter are out.
! The fifty messenger boys OF the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies tore the badges from their
caps this morning and refused to de-
liver another message.

PAYS COMPLIMENT
TO NEW SECRETARY
Denver Republican Comments on Ap-
pointment Of Nathan Jaffa-A
Former CoIoradoan.

The Denver Republican in comment
ing on the appointment of Nathan
Jaffa, of Roswell, to be secretary OF
the Territory, pays the new official
the following compliment:
with the appointment of Nathan
Jaffa, of Roswell, New Mexico, to the
secretaryship of the Territory, friends
Of the man in his home Territory and
in Denver as we'll, were quick to say
that they congratulate New Mexico,
but that they had no congratulations
for Mr.. Jaffa.
'As soon as the announcement was
wired to Mr.. Jaffa he decided to ac-
cept the place, even though 1t will in
all probability mean financial loss to
him, for he is now so actively and so
successfully engaged In business Of q
private nature that the loss of time
means the loss of money.
"Mr. Jaffa has been known in New
Mexico for more than twenty.three
years and has been favorite charac.
ter in politics during that time. He is
said to be one of the most public.
spirited men in the Territory, and the
appointment, while a surprise to him.
was by no means surprise to his
friends, who knew his fitness.
"Mr Jaffa is we'll known in Den
yer, and was visiting here a few weeks
ago at the home Of B. Flesher, at 1865
Downing avenue. His wife and chill.
dren have been spending the summer
here, and it is said that he will be
here again in about a week to spend
few days. Years ago he lived at
Trinidad. He is brother Of Attorney
Joseph S. Jaffa, of Denver
"Mr. Flesher knows the man we'll
and has for years. He says Mr.. Jaffa
was entirely surprised by the appoint
ment, which was made after some
communication between President
Roosevelt and Governor Curry Of New
Mexico. Governor Curry, it Is said,
told the President that Mr.. Jaffa was
the man for the job If he could be pre-
vailed upon to accept it. The appoint
ment was then made, subject to the
action Of Mr.. Jaffa.
"Mr. Jaffa is prominently connected
with the Citizens National Bank of
Roswell and with the Jaffa-Prager
Mercantile Company. These interests
he cannot look after as well now that
he will have to give a major portion
Of his time to the new duties.
"He has daughter, Julia, who Is a
student at Wolfe Hall, Denver"
