Troublesome Metal Nodules.

If metallic iron is melted along with
copper or brass it is said that part
enters the alloy and becomes chem
ically combined and the remainder
separates in pellets or nodules of the
hardness of steel. These nodules are
the source OF much trouble in brass,
as they iniure tools to an alarming
sXtent.

ANOTHER BIG MINING DEAL
Rumored That Two-Thirds Interest
in Attorney Elfego Baca's Prop
erty Brings 100000.

1t was reported here Yesterday
that two-thirdS interest in the
San Antonio and Sonia Gold
Mining company of HillSboro, N.
M, which is owned by local
business man, Elfego Baca, is to
be purchased by the Golden Cou-
rier Mining company of the east,
says the Albuquerque Journal.
The San Antonio and Sonia
mine is being worked for gold
and copper, principally the for
mer, and il is considered one of
the most valuable properties in
New Mexico. The shaft is at
present 40 feet deep and going
deeper daily.
The seven-inch vein of gold
found recently, it is believed, will
run down about hundred feet,
from present indications.
Mr.. Baca refused to state yes
terday whether he would dispose
of his mine or not, but the fact
that Colonel Hunter, represent
ative of various eastern mining
concerns, has been investigating
the HillSboro mine lately,
strengthens the report.
The price the eastern company
is to paw for its two-thirds inter-
est in the Hillsboro property is
said to be over 100000.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
The Denver Post viii Publish a
Special Edition, illustrated
With Numerous Cuts.

Denver has long been known
as leading exponent of the best
brand of western enterprise and
vigor. Its business interests and

only of Denver, but of the whole
Southwest.
A good example of this is
shown by the determination of
the Denver Post to publish a spe-
cial edition for the New Mexico
Territorial Fair. The edition
will be a complete, regular size
paper, illustrated with numerous
cuts and containing full descrip-
tions of the big attractions offered
by the Twenty-Seventh Annual

EIGHT PEOPLE WERE DROWNED
In the Worst Flood Ever Known in
the Vicinity Of Monticello.

Monticello, a small town of
Sierra county near the Socorro
county line, suffered a great ca
taStrophe a week ago. The story
is told in a press dispatch from
that place as follows;
AS the result of the worst
flood ever known in this section,
striking Monticello about O'Clock
Friday night, eight people we're
drowned, including six small chill
dren. So lar only three bodies
have been recovered. The dead:
Mrs. Louisa Hill de Carabajal.
Maggie Carabajal, aged three
years.
Tomas Carajabal, aged seven
years.
Frank Carajabal, aged five
years.
Jose Caraiabal, aged two years.
Emma Bourguet, aged four
years.
Cecilia Bourguet, aged three
years.
Celina Bourguet, aged two
years.
All OF the victims ot the flood
lived about one mile north of
here, and were caught like rats
in trap. A most pathetic fea-
ture of the tragedy was that Mr..
Carabajal, who was working in a
sawmill in the mountains, knew
nothing of the fact that he had
lost his wife and four children
until this morning. The homes
of Carabajal and Bourguet were
between two gulcheS on the Ala
mos creek, down which a wall of
water many feet high came with
out a moments warning.
The bodies of Cecilia Bour-
guet, Jose Carabajal and Mrs.
Carabajal we're recovered, and
numbers of searching parties are
out along the stream looking for
the others. 1t is estimated that
the loss in property and crops
along the valley will amount to
$50, 900. Crops were in an un-
usually promising condition and
the flood is the greatest misfor-
tune sustained by this section in
many years. Many houses were
carried away and many had mar
row escapes from drowning.
Business has been suspended
and all who escaped damage are
busy taking care of the less for
tunate and aiding in the search
for the bodies of the babes.
The roads in this district are
all washed out. 1t has been rain
ing steadily for the past ten days
and all the canyons and gulches
are torrents.

BROWNS AT THE COUNTY FAIR
An Excursion Will Probably BE
Run Down From Albuquerque
on Sunday.

The Albuquerque Citizen is
strong booster for the Socorro
county fair. Hon. w. T.. Martin
was in Albuquerque Thursday on
his way home from an official
visit in Santa Fe, and the result
of his talk with the Citizens rep
resentative is seen in the follow
ing:
Nv. +. Martin, secretary OF the
Socorro county fair, which will
take place at the Gem City on the
2Sth, 10Th and 30th of Septem-
ber, is in the city making arrange
ments with Manager Matson of
the Albuquerque Browns for
game to be played at Socorro the
big day of the fair.
The Browns will go TO So
corro for a stipulated amount of
money and are to play a dark
horse so To- speak. This is a part
OF the agreement which Manager
Matson has entered into with the
Socorro county fair association.
1t was the intention of the fair
association at first to give purse
OF 5000 to baseball, $500 to be
divided between amateur teams
and $500 to be given for a game
between the Albuquerque Browns
and Ell PaSo or some other south
ern organization that would be
drawing card for the fair. No
other team could be found that
would go to Socorro and play the
Browns without a guarantee, so
this proposition had to be given
up. The associations managers
then hit upon the clever plan of
getting the Browns to play for a
stipulated amount against a team
to be furnished by the associ-
alton. The Browns management
is game and has accepted the
challenge, but what the associ-
alton has up its sleeve is a mys-
terry. 1t may be a lemon. So
cOrro has decided to send a base
ball team to the Albuquerque
tournament, so maybe the Gem
City sports are going to dig down
in their pockets and raise the
price of first class base ball ag-
gregation.
The games which the Browns
will play will be pulled off on
Sunday and an effort will be
made to run an excursion from
this city to the Socorro county
fair on that day. 1t is only 10
miles from Albuquerque to So
corro and an excursion there with
pleasant weather would make a
big hit with all Albuquerque.
The distance is so short that the
round trip could be made in a day
with comfort.
Regarding the tournament of
amateur teams, Secretary Martin
said that fully half dozen teams
would take part. The Barelas
and Geronimo teams of Albu-
querque were expected and teams
we're expected from Deming, San
Marcial, Carthage and Magda-
lena. Two prizes will be given
for this tournament. The first
money will be $500 and the sec
ond will be $500.
Other features of the fair will
be trap shooting, horse racing,
broncho busting, cock fighting,
jubilee singers. balloon ascension,
miners drilling contest, Indian
sports and exhibits and agricul-
tural and mining exhibits"

A. @. Abeytia Reappointed.

Governor George Curry has
Just reappointed Hon. Aniceto c.
Abeytia to the board of regents
of the School of Mines. Mr..
Abeytia was originally appointed
to the position by Governor Ha-
german to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Juan Jose Baca
and was at once elected president
of the board. The reappointment
is a fitting recognition of Mr..
Abeytia's excellent service all
ready rendered.
