GOLD IN THE RIO GRANDE
Boulders Are All That Prevent It's
Being Worked Profltably, Says
DIR. Jones.

DIR. f. A. Jones, the mining
engineer, returned to the city
this morning from a trip to Taos
county, where he examined some
gold placer prospects for Cali
fornia capitalists, says the AL
buquerdue Citizen.
DIR. Jones says that the Rio
Grande in the vicinity of Embu-
da has considerable gold in it.
The sand in the bottom of the
river is thick with gold, but
there are so many large boulders
IN the sand that working it at a
profit would be a very difficult
proposition.
Mr.. Jones says that the recent
slump in copper has hurt the
mining business throughout the
country. Producing mines have
been shut down and development
work has been called off in many
instances. However, the doctor
is of the opinion that copper
will go up again in the near
future and operations will be re-
Sumed.

GOVERNOR CURRY CONFIDENT.
That New Mexico Will be Made a
State by sixtieth Congress
at Short Session.

Governor Curry expected to
leave Santa Fee last night for

of prime importance to New Mex

dent that New Mexico will be
granted statehood bv the sixtieth

two ago, in which he said:

have her claims recognized by

dent that the territory will be

cessity at present is for all the
people of New Mexico to keep

A MILLION OF SHEEP
Are Now Waiting for Cars at Mag
dalena to Garry Them to
Northern Ranges,
SAYS ATTORNEY ELFEGO BACA
Mr.. Baca Also Gives n Glowing Ac-
count of improvements in
Progress in socorro.

Attorney Elfego Baca was in
Socorro the first of the week, and
on his return to Albuquerque had
an interview with a representa-
tive of the Morning Journal,
which resulted in the following:
According To Attorney Elfego
Baca, of this city, who returned
yesterday from trip to Socorro
and Magdalena, there are now
fully million sheep around Mag
dalena awaiting cars for ship
ment to the northern ranges.
There are corralS and corrals full
of the animals, and the country
is fairly white with herds for
miles around. On account of the
alleged scarcity of rolling stock
the Santa Fee is able to send only
very few cars daily to Magda-
lena, and the situation is Begin
ming to worry the sheep owners.
Mr.. Baca says that Socorro
now has over three miles of the
finest cement sidewalks in the
territory, and the improvement is
one of the greatest in the Gem
city for years. The walks are
now being laid clear to the SAN
ia Fee station. Still others are in
contemplation. While in Socor-
ro the Albuquerque attorney
made arrangements to open
branch law Office there in charge
of his new partner, Manuel Vigil.
Yesterday Mr.. Baca purchased
of Alexandra Sandoval and Ro-
maldo Montoya Y Montoya ten
acres of fine farming land at Ala
media, where he will make his
country home and raise corn,
wheat, alfalfa, fruit and vegeta-
bles on rather extensive scale.
The farm is considered one of
the choicest in that vicinity"

SHEEP SHIPPED IN BOX CARS
Other Expedients and Schemes Re.
sorted to to Relieve the Stress of
the condition

The scarcity of stock cars is
causing shippers no end of an
noYance and hardship up at
Magdalena and all sorts of expe-
dients and schemes are being re-
sorted to to relieve the stress of
the condition. 1t is reported,
Tor instance, that box cars are
being used for the shipment of
sheep. Such cars are converted
into passable stock cars by nail
ing Stats acoSs the side doors and
leaving the doors open for venti-
lation. Some sheep have been
shipped in these improviSed stock
cars to eastern points with very
good results.
An incident is related to show
the strategy sometimes employed
by one shipper to get the better
of another. The Santa Fe had
promised some stock cars to a GER
tain shipper and they had been
placed beside the pens for load
ing. Another shipper stole a
march on this one by filling the
pens with his own sheep and re-
fusing to bulge them through
any other exit then the chute in
to the waiting cars. If any
sheepman in New Mexico can
beat that for strategy he is yet
to be heard from.

THE PER CAPITA OF MONEY
Mr.. Dougherty Thinks It Is Not
Large Enough for the Coun-
try's Needs.

Attorney II. M. Dougherty of
Socorro, who was in the city ves-
terday, said that lie could ac-
count for the recent furry in the
couiitry's finances in only one
way and that was that the coun-
try did not have enough money
to transact its business with,
says the Albuquerque Citizen.
There is not enough money
per capita in circulation" said
Mr.. Dougherty. That is the
only way | can account for the
apparent scarcity of money,
There certainly is no other
cause. For years the country
has enjoyed the greatest kind of
prosperity. The farmers have
raised abundant crops and have
gotten good prices for their pro-
ducts. a few years ago many
of the farmers had mortgages on
their farms. These mortgages
have been paid within the past
few years and the majority of
the farmers now have a bank ac-
count. The factories of the
country are running at their
fullest capacity and cannot fill
their orders and every other line
of business is prosperous.

GEO. P. MONEY IS ACQUITTED.
Jury Promptly Disposes of Charge
Of Murder Against Former
New Mexico Lawyer.

George =. Money, formerly a
prominent and popular citizen of
New Mexico, has just been ac-
quilted on a charge of murder in
Mississippi court. The charge
grew out of the result of a quar-
rel into which Mr.. Money was
forced by a man who had gross
ly inSulted his father, then the
venerable Senator Money, Mr..
Money was forced to kill his OPP
ponent in self-defense, as the
verdict of the jury shows. The
trouble occurred fifteen years
ago, and no attention was paid
to it until few days ago, when
il was brought into court as a bit
of spite work. The jury acquit-
ted Mr.. Money on the very first
ballot.
A special dispatch from Car
rollton, Mississippi, under date
of November 4. to the Las Vegas
Optic, tells the story as follows;
One of the most popular ver-
diets ever rendered in this county
was the one which on Saturday
night acquitted George =. Money
of murder alleged to have been
committed fifteen years ago on
an indictment that was returned
in May, 1907, after twenty-six
grand juries had investigated the
case and passed the charge, and
every ybody believed the matter
was closed.
George p. Money married and
went to New Mexico in 1894, re-
turning here two years ago and
settling in Gulfport, where he
now practices law. Hearing of
the indictment bv the last grand
jury he Immediately and volun-
tarily returned to CarrOllton and
gave his bond for appearance at
the trial. The state subpoenaed
a large number of witnesses and
prosecuted the case vigorously,
but the attorneys for Money con-
curing with the public opinion
that the case had not been proven,
refused to introduce any of de-
fendaut's witnesses. They did
however put large number of
volunteers on the stand from
Gulfport. Greenwood, Washing
ton, Carroll and Winona counties,
who proved the defendants eX-
cellent character from his early
childhood. The case was sub
mitted on the states evidence,
and within thirty minutes Money
was free and receiving the con-
gratulations and applause of the
people present.
The verdict merely reiterated
the opinion OF the people who
heard the evidence of the state.
Mr.. Money is much loved and
very popular, and his friends
everywhere rejoice with him and
his family over his vindication." "

CANNOT BUDGE Mr.. RURSUM
His socorro County Enemies Have
Tried It Very Hard and
Have Failed.

An Albuquerque correspondent
of the Silver City Independent,
one Of the foremost democratic
weeklies of the territory, in writ
ing of political conditions in the
various counties OF New Mexico,
has this to say concerning Socor-
70 county:
In SOcorro county Chairman
Bursum is the strongest political
factor and will be for years to
come and until the county settles
up with democratic immigrants,
as the best lands there are owned
by Mexicans and old-time Amer
leans. He cannot be budged by
his enemies, although they have
tried it very hard. Bursum is a
born leader, and 1t will take
many straight democratic votes
from Texas, from Oklahoma,
from Missouri, and from the In
dian Territory, to dislodge him.
They are not as yet in Socorro
county"
