.MONTEzUMA Mine.

Work is being diligently prosecute
ed in a number of properties in the
old camp of Montezuma, situated
some eleven miles west of town. Re-
cent arrivals say. that the showings
in a number of new places where the
work is being prosecuted the ore
runs high in silver and lead values.
The old Montezuma mine is about to
be taken over by French syndicate.
Forty years ago this mine was pro-
Queer of high grade that paid the ex-
pense of mining and other charges,
even when it had to be hauled by OK
team to Austin, $50 miles distant
Then the owners of the ground put
up small stamp mill and later on
smelter. Differences between Bos-
ton owners of the property closed
the plant, which has laid in the quiet
ness of the desert for over twenty
five years. The owners, however, Sc
cured patents on all their ground and
the claims have never gone to tax
sale. That is business, but not min
ing.
With the immense strides made il
all of the country adjacent to Gold
field in the past few years, attention
has been called to the Rip Van
Wrinkle, which is almost in sight o.
Goldfeld, and real live ones have
become interested in an effort t.

al BrilIiance.

Washington, d. c., Jan. The New
Years reception by the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House To-
day differed in no respect from its
many predecessors. The function was
surrounded with ali its traditional bril-
lance, while the number of persons of
all classes who filed past the chief exc
cutive and received his cordial greeting
was about the same as last year. The
vlce-president and members of the cab
met were the first to be received. and
with their wives took up their position
IN the receiving line to the right of the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt. Several
changes were to be noticed among the
members of the diplomatic corps. among
the newcomers being the first minister
from Greece. The section of naval Of
fcers was headed by Admiral Dewey.
but the trip of the big battleship feet to
the Pacific resulted in decrease in the
number of prominent officers usually
present at the reception. The diplo-
mants were followed by the members
of the United States supreme court and
the judiciary of the district. Next came
the officers of the army, navy and ma
rine corps, all in brilliant full dress mi
form. At 1 o'clock the reception of
citizens began.

DuN'S REVIEW.
Cause of Disturbance. General Lookout
for Year 1903.

New York, Dec. S1.-The withdraw
al of SIPS, 900. 900 from a few larc,
trust companies, precipitating a seasor
OF boarding and sending currency to 8
premium when it was most needed
throughout the country, is credited in
X. q. Dun & Company's annual review
OF trade, published tomorrow, with hav-
ing been one of the great factors in
turning the year 1907, from its promise
OF new records in prosperity to a clos
ing period of financial disturbance that
caused many plans for future exten-
slons of business to be either abandoned
or postponed. The restoration of nor
NAL conditions, the review declares de-
pends upon easier money, and a revival
or confidence, both of which seem near
er today than at any time since Octo-
Der, when the stringency began. While
failures were frequent during the last
quarter of the year, the review points
out that if the comparison is carried
to previous periods of distress, there is
much cause for congratulation in the in
solvency returns. The review saws in
part:
Although in many cases the size of
crops in 1907 fell below some in prices
the returns are far larger than ever be-
fore. To some extent short crops in
other countries accounted for high pri-
ces, notably in the case of wheat. for
which foreigners were willing to pay
more than dollar per bushel during
the closing months.
Adding the value of cotton, meats.
dairy products, poultry, eggs, and all
other items raised by the agriculturists
the years total attains the phenomenal
value of $7,400, 600, 900.
Cotton has ruled at high position
throughout the year, while the latest
statistics of the crop indicate yield of
l2,O00,O0O bales, or 10 per cent. less
than the high record established in the
previous year. The old crop year end
ed on August 81, with the largest total
ever harvested, and with exports ex-
ceeding all other years, except 1905 as
to quantity, while the high average ex-
port price of 1917 cents per pound this
year raised the total value $40, 900, 600
above the previous high water mark es-
tablished two years earlier, when the
average price was about two cents per
pound lower.
Conflicting influences united to pro-
duce year in the dry goods market
which has been without precedent for
the volume of business done, but which
has also been honeycombed with disap-
pointments that reduce the average of
what might otherwise be regarded as a
most successful year.
Changes in the iron ard steel indus
tries during 1907 were more striking

than elsewhere, particularly in respect
to the volume of production. During
the early part of the year there was a
gradual increase in output, the weekly
active capacity of blast furnaces con-
stantly establishing new records until
the high point was reached on July L,
with total of 5S2, 10 tons of pig iron
per week. From this point moderate
decrease occurred until toward the end
Of the year it was estimated that not
more than 33 per cent of the entire iron
and steel capacity was in operation. AS
to prices, moderate reductions occurred
during the closing months but no gener-
al change was made in list prices of
standard shapes of STEEL

Six of the injured were Americans

No official statement on the cause of
the explosion has been issued but old
converter mill men say the cause could
hardly be other than some of the molten
metal sifted through the soapstone lin
ing OF the converter and came in con-
tract with the steel sheathing which
perhaps was damp.
When the explosion occurred the bot
tom of the converter dropped out,
throwing fifteen tons of molten metal
into the pit where fifteen men were
working at the ladies'. When the hot
mass OF steel struck the bottom of the
pit flames of burning gas were sent up.
which burned the men in the pit. The
two men who were killed had been
working under the converter and their
bodies were terribly mangled.
The force of the explosion blew the
sheet iron roof off of the converting
mil and caused two Of the walls to col
lapse.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Several Hundred Miles Butt In the sOut

l
Chattanooga, Dec. 3O.-Several hun
dred miles of railroad have been con-
structed in the South during 1907, and
it is estimated that mora than SIS. 900, -
600 have been spent by the railroads of
the south in improving the systems dur
ing the past twelve months.
The largest contract given during the
year was in Southwestern Virginia.
where the South and Western railroad
is being constructed. This work has
been from different points in the iron
and coal section of Virginia and West
Virginia, via Bristol, to points in North
Carolina where the connections will be
made with the Seaboard and kindred
lines. 1t is said TO be part of the
great Tidewater system. When COM
pleted the line will be over $50 miles in
length and will cost nearly S1O0, 900, 900.
1t is through very rough section and
the 35 or 40 miles completed during 1907
aggregated total cost of nearly S15,-
100000. The cost of one tunnel was in
excess of 81, 900, 900.
The Queen & Crescent has done double
tracking to the extent of over SIS. OOO,-
900.
Work continues on the Southern's
Lookout mountain tunnel, but other i'm
provements are suspended.
Thirty miles Of the Savannah Au-
gusta G. Northern have been graded.
u. r
nah to Chattanooga is for S12, 900, 900.
The Tidewater developments in Vir-
ginia, the Flagler and other systems in
Florida and numerous enterprises in
Louisiana and Mississippi have beer
very active in the year just completed.
There are numerous coal lines and mi
nor branch systems of different rail-
roads which have been started and com
pleted during 1907.

MR.. CLEVELAND ON PENSIONS.
Thinks Government Should Take Care of
Its EX.Presldents.

New York, Dec 2S. -Ex-President
Grover Cleveland, under the title "OuI
People and Their Ex-Presidents, has
contributed an interesting article to the
Youths Companion for January. Re-
ferring to the poverty of Jefferson af-
ter he left the presidency as a blow to
national pride, Mr.. Cleveland declares
definite and generous provision should
be made for the maintenance of chief
magistrates at the expiration Of their
terms. He deals with the subject at
length and explains that he feels he can
do so without his sincerity being ques-
toned, since he is beyond the need of
of aid from the public treasury.
The condition is by no means met, 3"
Mr.. Cleveland writes, "by the meagre
and spasmodic relief occasionally fur
nished under the guise of a military
pension or some other pretext; nor
would it be best met by making compen-
sation dependent upon the discharge Of
senatorial or other duty. Our people
ought to make definite and generous
provision for all cases alike, based on
motives of justice and fairness, and
adequate to the situation"
Mr.. Cleveland describes the limita-
tions that his former high office place
on a retired president in his choice of
occupations and means of'livelihood and
how popular conception of him as a re-
pository of national dignity enforced
scale of living that may not be within
his privaJe means.
''There is sort of vague, but none
the less imperative feeling abroad in
in the land, says Mr.. Cleveland, "that
one who has occupied the great Office of
president holds in trust for his fellow
citizens certain dignity, which in his
conduct and manner he is bound to pro-
tect against loss or deterioration. Obe-
dience to this obligation prescribes for
him such work as in popular judgment
is not undignifed. This suggests with
out argument a reciprocal connection
the curtailment of opportuni-
ties and a reasonable obligation of
lndemnifaction ON the other.'

his plea of mistaken identity until
he was escorted into Captain Rink
er's Office at the city hall and con-
fronted with his picture on a cir
cular issued by Sheriff Hackley of
Adams county more than a year
ago. Then he wilted. Elan is
wanted at Brighton for the theft of
"A horse from pasture near Ben

to Fort Collins by him and sold.
ELAN was recognized while
walking on Seventeenth street by
the two detectives and placed under
arrest. He declared to the crowd
that congregated that his arrest

In the County Court.

A busy session of the county
court was held Monday at Conejos.
Two young and handsome women
neatly attired and scarcely out of
their teens, attracted considerable
attention by slowly entering the
court room to the beautiful strains
of BLESSED be the Tie That Binds" :"
and with trembling voice and tear
stained cheeks blushingly stated
that they had come for the sole pur-
pose of having dissolved the bonds
that had once united them in matri-
monial bliss and happiness. In
both instances extreme cruelty was
the charge brought against the two
unfaithful husbands who were not
present to defend themselves.
After relating several heart-render-
ing incidents of cruelty and neglect
that brought tears to the eyes of
every one in the court room, the
young women took their seats and
the jury touched by the pitifulness
of their story and the personal
charms of the two plaintiffs granted
their requests without hesitation,
and the two went on their way re-
joicing.
Mrs. Vera Landgratf VS.. Peter
Landgraff, divorce granted and
plaintiff given the right to use her
maiden name of Vera Connolly
