NEW MEXICO CRATER SAID ID BE WONDER

 was out there not long since do- ing some surveying and visited the place, said MT. Ross. Tt is well worth a trip clear out there to see. In the midst of this salt lake. several square miles in extent. rises up an an cient crater. The interior of this crater contains the bottomless we'll that Is spoken of. The walls of the crater descend at an angle of about sforty-five degrees. the soft. sliding 'lava formation making it exceedingly dangerous to approach the edge ot the water. A single trail has been worn in the side of thet crater. how ever. so that person can get down lL within a few feet of the water. The well is probably 200 by 50 feet. the Surface of the pool being slightly elongated. Its depth Is an unknown quantity. Former President Herrick. of the University of New Mexico, told me that it had been sounded to a depth of $500 feet, with no sign of bottom. and there appears to be no doubt that il extends into the bowels of the earth. The cowboys and ranch men say that many of them have spliced many hundreds of feet of rope and lowered into the pit without find ing bottom. sssoa-

 Beside the crater another volcanic cone. coming to sharp apex juts up out of the salt lake. A curious feat ure IS that within six feet Of the edge of the lake there is a fresh water spring, which supplies the people of Salt Lake postoffice with their drink ing water.

.SUPT. OF SCHOOLS
 ROCKEFELLOW HERE
Head Of County'S Educational Institutions Says CocniSe
 Is. Prosperous.

County Superintendent of Schools John A. Rockfellow made the first of his official visits for this year to Bis. bees schools yesterday He declares ne found the local schools in excellent shape and educational work progress ing in manner entirely satisfactory to him.
 There is nothing in my visit aside. from the routine work of inspection and as nothing of especial moment has appeared to me. cannot say anything further than that all is going we'll" said Superintendent Rockfellow.
 Mir. Rockfellow has just returned from trip to the outlying school districts and reports that the county is in an exceedingly prosperous con- dftfon in the various channels Of pro duction. At Gleason and Pearce he found the mining situation frightened by the late discoveries of ore there and the development work being nut forward has stimplated trade in the commercial lines.
 The cattle. I must say. are look ing somewhat poorly. I attribute this to late storms which have so taxed the vitality of the herds as to keep them thin. This condition among the cattle does not alarm the cattlemel. for the ranges are in good shape and they are sure to pick up before market time" r=
 Mir. Rockfellow expects to see this season a profitable one for the cattle raisers in the northern part of Co- ehise county.
 The schools of the county, according to MT. Rockfellow, are well equipped with funds with which to carry them through the present school year. He did not care to talk on the educational bills proposed for legislation at the present legislative assembly.
 MT. Rockfellow returned last even- ing 10 his home in Tombstone.

FATALLY SHOWN IN DEATH OF THIS MAN Food for Uncanny in Death of Latest Owner ot
 Silver King,

Those who are inclined to be super stitious and who are familiar witf the affairs of the old Silver King mine may imagine that there was 8 pursuing fatality in the death of Dr Charles H. Jones, of Tempe, Sunday morning, says the Tucson Star
 sMention was made last summer ai the time of the death of J. P. Welles of Tucson, former chief clerk in the office Of the United States marshal, oi the i'll luck of those who had beer connected in any way with the old mine.
 A great many years ago the prop erty came into the hands of Dr.. W. w Jones and two other men by the pro cess of relocation. The ownership uI to a certain point had a promising outlook and then the apparent hand of fate was presented. One of the partners was killed; one of them be came insane, left. the. country and was never heard of again, and finally pr Jones died. .
 Some four or five years ago Dr Charles H. Jones, not related to Dr W W. Jones. formed an association with Mir. Welles and Captain George D. Christy, for another relocation oi the mine. Preparations were being made by them for the operation of the property which was believed to be still of great value. but before the preparations had been completed MT Welles suddenly sickened and died.
 About that time the friends of Cap tain Christy and Dr. Jones jocularly warned them of the fatality attending owners of the Silver King A few months later Captain Christy was seized with typhoid fever and for weeks his life was despaired of There was hardly hope for his re covery, which. however, took place and he is rapidly regaining his former strength. About week ago Dr Jones went to his bed with pneumonia
