dow Killed Him.
Trinidad, Colo.-About 4:30 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon several people pass
ing along Plum street found the body
Of man lying In an alley, and stand
ing near the body was another man
holding q large rock In his hand. OF.
ficers were notified and 4 physician
summoned, but the man lying on the
ground was dead.
His name is said to be Juan Cordova
The man standing over the body, who
gave his name as Frank Martinez
stated that while he and Cordova were
coming through the alley someone
threw a rock from window of the
brewery wash house which struck Cor
dova on the head. killing him. Marti-
nez exhibited the rock that he held in
his hand to substantiate his story.
Coroner Gu.ifoil thoroughly exam
inted the surroundings and found that
the lower sill of the brewery window
is eight feet from the floor. Several
men six feet tall and over stood on a
beer keg and were not able to see a
man passing through the alley. Mar
tinez was arrested.
An autopsy conducted by County
Physician Forhan revealed that Cor
dova's larynx was torn loose from the
ligaments and several small bones
were broken. although there was nc
outward mark of violence on his neck
The officers are unanimous In the
belief that the two men were quarrel
ing and that Martinez caught Cordova
by the throat, crushing the larynx
causing almost instant death. Marti
nez, however, tonight sticks to the
window story. No one witnessed the
affair.
Both Martinez and Cordova are Mex
leans and strangers here. They have
been working at an extra grading
camp for the Santa Fe at Morley. ten
miles west of here. They came to
Trinidad together and were drinking
a good deal during the day. An in
kuest will be held.

Why Farmers Grow Old Early.

why WV" WV
Anyone who has lived on farm
does not need to be told the reason,
for he knows Of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur.
ing the five months of spring and
summer, says Woody Hutchinson, M.
D., in Harper's Monthly. His work
day is from four or five In the morning
until eight or nine at night, including
chores-15 to II hours Of the hardest
kind of physical labor and every min
ute of 1t at high tension. especially
during harvest. Then comes q period
Of relaxation in the fall, the one time
dn the year when he has Just enough
muscular exercise to keep him In
health. Later, the winter season, up,
preaching stagnation, In which he
takes on flesh, gets 'logy," and then a
furious debauch of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by 45 he has had sun
stroke and cant stand the heat" or
has "a weak back or his heart gives
out" or chill makes him rheuma-
tic;" and when you add to this furious
muscular strain the fact that the far
mer sees his income put in peril every
season. and his very home every bad
year. so that each unfavorable change
in the weather sets his nerves on
edge, it can be readily imagined that
the real quiet, peaceful country life
is something sadly different from the
ideal.

ed to the new district. A new center
of supplies, new radiating district
was established, and energetic men
began the same old battle all over
again. The reformation at Tonopah
was not slate, it was not lime stone,
nor was it granite-it was porphyry
(andesite), but what matter so long
as it contained rich veins of gold and
silver.
Among those who left Tonopah
one went southwark. He found
prospect and another new district
was established. 1t came to be known
as Goldfield. Here again was diff
ferent kind of rock-rhyolite, And
again the miner was agreeable to the
new kind of rock for it was rich In
gold
AT the south end OF New York
Mountains is promising gold mine
in quartzite and In Utah several
years ago rich silver ores were dis
covered and worked in ordinary
white sandstone and in clay shale.
Gradually the miner is becoming
convinced that he cannot afford to
cherish his prejudice against any one
kind of rock while fayoring another.
He is learning to accept nature as he
finds it and not wholly as he thought
il should be. A magnificent outcrop
of quartz of dazzling wilderness, at
one time considered the one essen
tial for profitable gold mine In Call
fornia. now receives scant attention,
probably for the reason that few of
these quartz masses upon develop
ment have proved to be what had
been anticipated. 1t is true that In
few instances these great masses
of quartz have been found to occur
in the vicinity of large and profitable
ore bodies, but these have been the
exception rather than the rule. At
numerous gold mines in California
where gold mining has been in pro-
gress for half century or more there
may still be observed the great snow
white outcrops, intact, but destitute
of gold, which they never contained.
The sooner all prejudice Is laid aside
and prospectors seek for ores In the
rocks of all descriptions the more
rapidly will the resources of the en-
tire country be brought to light and
developed by the capital which is al
ways and ever alert for safe invest
ment.

RUTH TUNNEL COMPLETED.

The ends of the tunnel of the
Nevada Consolidated between the Star
Pointer and the Ruth mines was con-
nected yesterday.
This great piece of engineering
work Will always remain one Of the
wonders OF Ely district, and its COM
pletion is an important event.
The tunnel will be used as the
highway for the ore from the Ruth
workings to the Star Pointer, where
the ore will be dumped into the cars
for transmission to the smelter.
1t will be lighted by electricity and
will be an artery of industry, day and
night.
The value Of the copper ore which
will pass through this tunnel will be
greater than that of many world ia
nous id mines.

THE COUNTRY ROCK.

For some unexplained reason mi
ners have long had strong preju-
dice for or against some kind of rock,
but the experience of the past few
years has gone far toward removing
acll ideas. and any sort of rock is
now admitted TO possess possibilities
in the way of mineral deposits, says
the Mining Review. Still. in certain
districts. the old habit of discriminate
ing between rocks, some being admit
ted as favorable, others as offering
small chance for ore, is evident. j.
In Nevada district not long since
ore was discovered in porphyry dixie
that outcropped boldly over the hills.
II had been noticed by scores of old
prospectors for years, but seemed to
have been universally condemned
"porphyry" not being in fashion.
This discovery resulted in bapishing
from the minds of prospectors the
traditions regarding porphyry, and
hundreds of men eagerly ran over the
barren hillsides stalking porphyry
dikes An outcrop was good enough
so long as II was dixie. In this
rush other veins possessing higher
values and in some ways ordinarily
more attractive we're overlooked un-
til a tenderfoot found gold In schist
when the same crowd as eagerly as
before staked all the schist to be To-
Gated within an area of 10 square
miles.
The early history of Nevada saw
many unfortunate propositions In the
way of mines in limestone regions,
and ths time came when no self re-
spectin5 miner or prospector would
Willingly be seen working in lime
Stone. Again i fortuitcus circum-
stance resulted in the discovery of
rich silver ore at Hamilton In White
Pine county. Masses of solid chloride
OF silver were found in limestone on
Treasure Hill, which quickly brought
the much despised lime rock into
style
The strike at White Pine almost
doDopulated other districts at the
time, and camps which had been the
scene of a healthy industry quickly
sank in prominence and their output
became in consequence seriously re-

White Pine had one indispptable
effect. 1t attracted attention to "A

Bananas.

The highest known authority on
bananas, the golden treasure OF the
tropics. is Edward w. Perry Said
he: Bananas pay their producer
nearly three times as much money as
potatoes are worth an acre: bring the
grower profits which are three times
the farm value Of the chief food
crops of the United States, and have
paid gains equal TO five per cent. per
annum on $l,lSs an acre for the last
25 years. The crop is sold years ahead
OF production at prices insuring good
profits" Mr. Perry adds: Bananas
are by millions OF people eaten green
or ripe, raw or cooked; are served in
all ways in which apples, grains and
potatoes are used. and are palatable,
healthful and nutritious in every way
In which they are prepared. They
make excellent bread, cakes and pies,
buildings, confectionery and coffee
substitutes; yield brandy. beer, vine
gar, sugar, oil and fibers. They are
bought as luxury by millions who
may use them as staple food. Yet
they may be grown profitably in
small area only; therefore banana
culture affords a perfectly safe and
gainful use of time and money"
