The Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.--The inves-
tigation into the cause of the accident
on the North Dakota, 1t is believed
here today, will go behind the re-
turns" and strenuous effort will be
made to discover the elementary
trouble whicr has caused three naval
disasters this year The fact that the
North Dakota was the latest product
of the highest skill available in this
country with no question of money
considered in its construction makes
the situation disheartening to naval
officers.

The speech was the sequel to the

The former presidents broadside

applause and at times with a sort of
frightened silence. The Hamiltonians
cheered the generalities, but when the
colonel got to talking man to man and
driving what he had to say close
home to them they sat quiet, as

Following Is an article which ap1

Spell, a Nevada miner, lost his
nerve Saturday morning when he|
faced the trip from the Adams hotel
in Oakland to the mint in SAM
Francisco, and sought the protection
of Dick Adams, the hotel proprietor,
and policeman, who accompanied
him y the mint and helped him to|
cash his treasure.
Spell, who is a typical desert min
er, explained to Adams that he had
spent the past eighteen months on|
his claim, hidden away in the hills
north of Winnemucca, Nevada, aud
in that time had extracted the gold
he brought down with him. The
mine has been kept secret, he
said, and no one in the Nevada
country knows that he has taken
out any gold at all.

eled from Winnemucca to Oakland,
where he put up at the Adams
hotel. The next morning he in
quired about making the journey to
San Francisco. He began to have

secret to Adams asked the latter to
get policeman and go with him to

EARLY DAY MINING
IN NEW MEXICO

Mining in New Mexico was prob
ably begun in a small way centuries
ago by the Indians, for the early
Spanish explorers found a few trim
kets of gold, silver and turquoise
in the possession of the natives.
No true mining in the modern sense
was found, except, possibly, the
mining of turquoise was done in
this region until the nineteenth
century. The copper mines at Santa
Rita have been worked almost con-
tinuously for more than a hundred
years, but systematic placer gold
mining was begun as late as 1928,
at the old placers in the Ortiz
mountains south of Santa Fe.
The CONSTRUCTION and operation of
railroads through New Mexico in the
late seventies and early eighties In
augnrated an era of mining activity
in the territory, in which the chief
metal sought and produced was sill
yer. During this era one group of
mines at Silver City produced over
100000, and the mines at Lake
Valley then and later yielded 81
100000 ounces of silver. The sill
yer output of the territory from
1882 to 1908 was about $4,000, 900
fine ounces; the recorded production
of gold from 1880 to 1908 was
$14,S0O, 900.
AT the beginning of the twentieth
century the demand for copper, lead
and zinc stimulated the mining of
these so-called baser metals, whose
annual production in New Mexico
now far exceeds in value the terri
tory's output of gold and silver.
New Mexico doubtless still con-
tains large undiscovered or unde-
veloped stores of mineral wealth
and presents an inviting field to the
prospector. The latest report on
the ore deposits of the territory
soon to be a state--is. the United
States geological surveys Profess
sional Paper IS, entitled, "The Ore
Deposits of New Mexico" by Waldo
mar Lindgren, L. c. Grafton and G.
H. Gordon. geologist The report
sketches the geology of the area and
describes the known mineral dis
tricts. 1t covers 361 pages and
contains So illustrations, including
maps and geologic sections and sew
eral half-tone views.
This report Is the first publication
of the survey that deals comprehen-
sively with the geology and ore de-
posits of single state or territory.
The accounts of the various mining
districts are necessarily brief but
contain much detailed information.
and the report not only provides a
summary OF the important facts
concerning the ore deposits but In
cludes discussions OF the broad rela-
tlons OF the ore and of their origin.
The work is likely to remain for
many years valuable reference
