TURQUOISE
DIGGINGS:TO
Be WORKED

OLD CRESCENT CAMP, Oct. 20.
The famous turquoise diggings are
to be worked again by Tiffany and
of New York. who will take
out 500 pounds of the finest gems of
this kind in the world The last
time the claims were opened, three
months ago, 800 pounds were ship
ped east. The gems are found in the
lime seams of quartz and porphyry
and near the surface. Below fifteen
feet the stones are softer and unde-
sirablc.
The discoverer, miner named
Simmons, is said to have taken a
profit on 100000, but he did not
live to enjoy it. OAe day, some five
years ago, when he was driving out
of Barnwell with c. c. Smithsan, the
latter still resident of Old Crescent
he was waylaid by a miner who
claimed to have been promised 9
share of the Tiffany sale and killed
by a rifle shot. The gun mans claim
was considered just enough by sucf
law as the country then afforded t.
warrant his acquital.
AS tile price of turquoise now il
is about 81 carat of 4 grains, thu
| 500 pound shipment will approximat,
in value 100000.

PRESENT LAWS To
!. BLAME FOR GRADE
CROSSING EVIL
In Summer Avenue Decision,
Vice-ChancelIor Says Legis-
lati0n Ties His Hands.

Decision of the test case brought by
the city of Newark to abolish the grade
crossing of the Erie Railroad at Sum-
mer avenue and compel the railroad
company to elevate or depress it's grade
at that point, which decision was given
today by Vice Chancellor Stevens, re-
suited in only a partial victory for the
city. Some of the tracks will be re-
moved, but the grade will not be
changed.
Three of the six lines of tracks that
made Summer avenue a menace to the
lives of many school children, accord
ing to the bill of complaint, are ordered
removed as Illegal distractions to traf-
fic. The other three tracks will remain.
Two may be used for east and west
bound traffic and the third may be
used for passing trains, but it's use as
means for shifting cars is enjoined
by the court
The vice-chancelIOr declares that the
present Legislation does not warrant his
ordering that the grade be changed
This point is a big victory for the rail-
road.
The court points out that the three
tracks which it holds are an obstruc-
tion to traffic are used for the shifting
and storage of carr which uses, 1t
holds, are intended to come within the
terminal and yard rights and are not
conferred by the right of passage con-
ferred by the State in giving the road
its right of way
1t is pointed out that the argument
brought by the counsel for the railroad
that the proximity of the depot and
freight house to the tracks compelled
the usage. is fallacious one, as the
railroad company is held to be at fault
in constructing its buildings in the
wrong location-an error of judgment,
the court holds, which cannot be
charged to the municipality, nor for
which the city should suffer.

Smiling Crook Laughs as

EASIEST THING EVER

Ex-Convict, but Bride of Three
Months Knew Nothing

Harold n. Brewer, cIean-cut ap-
pearinG young man. held nm informal
reception ut police headquarters todny.

word ninny women of North Jersey
who Ind handed him various sums Of
money I'm the last few weeks for the
purpose Of obtaining for SONS md
ncphew~ n mythical position in the
First National. Bank of Neu York.
Brewer greeted all of his victims with
smile. and his good bunlor was So
contagious that most of them laughed
with him. The only anxiety in the
young mans manner was caused by
his apprehension over the arrival of
his bride of three weeks. who
was Miss May Boden, of Monroe,
N. Y She was expected at headquar-
ters, and was ignorant of the fact that
Brewer was released. less than a year
ago. from the Maryland penitentiary,
after serving three years Tor similar
swindles in Baltimore. She arrived
about noon with her father. and at
once met her husband. She was shocked
by his arrest. gfs'
Before noon twelve women had
identified Brewer as the plausible
young man who had called on them
saying there was an opening in the
First National Bank of New York for
clerk, that he had been instructed to
fill the vacancy, and that he had looked
up the application of the son or nephew
of the woman with whom he spoke and
found his references acceptable.

BURNED TO DEATH
WHILE MAILING A
LETTER TO SANTA
Four-year-old Paterson Child
Dies While Putting Letter
in Chimney-niCfle.
Especial to the Evening Star.I

PATTERSON, Dec 5.-An implicit be-
lief in Santa Claus lured the 4-year- old
son of Mrs. Frank Forbes to his death
He had scrawled several letters to
Santa Claus, knowing that from these
ST. Nicholas would discover that the
lad wanted a sled. a drum, a real en-
gine and cars that run on tracks, q
tool chest and pair of rubber boots
He had a childish idea that it re-
quired money to purchase nice things
and from his little bank he took his
savings of pennies and with his labored
letters he deposited them in niche In
the fireplace of the dining -room-right
where Santa Claus must see them when
he would come down on Christmas
Eve.
The letters, with the pennies to help
Santa Claus pay for the presents, re-
mained there several days, until the
little fellow became anxious as to their
safety, and he lighted match to see if
they were still there. The match set
his clothing af1re and before his mother
had been fatally burned.
Charred bits of the letters and the
smoked pennies were found in the hid
ing place of the mantel today -Four
playmates cf the child will be the pail
bearers at the funeral, which will be in
the home, instead of in st. Joseph's
Church, because of the prostration of
the mother.
