Camp Fleming. Georgetown and chic
ride Fiat These camps are part or
the history of mining in the south
west. Enormous deposits Of almost
pure silver have been encountered in
these treasure vaults. and Tor many
years large part Of the governme emit S
supply Of silver came from them.
Mines OF Copper.
Long before this part Of New Mex
leo belonged to the United States,
copper was mined at Santa Rita. Great
deposits Of pure copper were worked
by the early Spauiards, who trans
ported the ore on pack mules to the
City Of Mexico, for coinage Before
the Spaniards came, the indians had
worked these deposits, and the brass
implements Of the Aztec period in
dictate that they were worked, even
before the PueblOs discovered them.
These mines have been operated for
three centuries, and, today, they are
worked by one Of the strongest com
panies in the copper mining business,
with $4,000. 600 tons of proved ore in
sight This company IS spending mill
lions In equipping the property with
reduction works, steam shOVelss pump
ing plants, and railway facilities, and
expect to mine these deposits at
rate OF 5000 tons per day.
Lead and Zinc.
Lead and zinc, usually are found IN
combination In the deposits Of the
Hanover district. however, there is a
notable exception, the zinc ores be-
ing free from lead Cooks Peak, per
haps, is the most noted lead district,
ton Of any lead camp in New Mexico.
Large deposits Of combined lead and
zinc ores are found on the west slope
Of the Pinos Altos mountains, and IN
the Carpenter district
Eierro iron Mines.
The iron deposits Of Fierro have been
producing trainloads Of iron ore daily
for many years and appear to be mex
haustible. Iron Hill, adjoining Silver
City. also has produced millions Of
tons Of iron ore.
1IeerBchaum.
One OF the products Of this locality IS
meerschaum, which occurs in paying
quantities only few miles from Silver
City. The quality is pronounced by ex-
perts to be equal to any.
Alum Here, Too.
Another rare mineral found here IS
alum on the upper ella river, where

the enormous and diversified riches

There are many opportunities here for
profitable Investment in the undevel-

large areas which have not been pros

Chicago, who is here to spend his va

with their destination as Hunter Lake,
which is about seven miles north of
Winter. They took the train to Win

a few miles out of Winter they found
some very rough corduroy road, how
ever they soon reached the river and
were then poled to the lake, where
the hunting and fishing began, also the
rain which is so plentiful of late
After making nice catch of fish and
bagging a number of ducks the broth

A COUNTY COLLECTION AGENCY
A. r. Martin Launches a Modern
Enterprise

City Assessor A. j Martin, having
completed the work of his office for
this year, has opened an office in the
Peterson building and will conduct the
''Rusk County Collection and Protection
Agency" Like agencies have been
in operation in other cities for few
years past, and have proven of great
benefit in the business world.
The purpose of this agency is to give
every individual rating" the same
as every merchant has with the whole
sale houses. If new man comes to
town, before his credit is good at any
store, his record at the place he came
from is looked up by the agency and
his rating" furnished to every mer-
chant doing business with the agency.
When this system gets into working
order, local merchants can figure a
much smaller per cent of profit neces-
sary to make up for bad accounts, and
Mr.. Martin has already made contracts
with most of the business men of
Lad dysmith and some in the surround
ing towns.

court cases recently, and the conduct
of it's inmates has been Objectionable to

A complaint was made and warrant

being an inmate of house of illfame
The warrant was served by Chief-of-
Police C. E. Culver, and the case came

Reeves this morning, Attorney l.. E..
McGill conducting the defense. A plea
of "nollo contendere" was entered and
the justice assessed a fine of $25 and
costs, amounting to $43. SO, with the
understanding that the parties were to
leave the city at once. Fifteen wit
nesses were summoned, most of them
to establish the reputation of the place.
The remarkable part about this case
is that the complaint was made by
District Attorney Chas. Kirwan. In
such actions brought under previous
administrations, it has been necessary
for some private citizen to make him.

VELVET SPECIAL WRECK
RUNS INTO OPEN AN SWITCH
NEAR FREMONT
NEW STEEL COACHES SAVE LIVES
j. o. Sinclair and Daughter, Mildred
P. Fl. Nelson and o. E. Anderson
Ladysmith Passengers

The northbound passenger train on
the Chicrgo Division of the 500 Line,
due to arrive in this city at 5:15, did
not arrive until afternoon Tuesday
Fremont. Engineer August Kuester
and two hoboes were the only ones
killed, the former being buried beneath
the locomotive. A large number of
passengers were injured, but none
seriously. The train was running down
long grade, at the bottom of which
was the switch. A l5-year-old boy
has confessed to opening the switch be-
cause he had a grievance at the sec
ton boss
The wreck occurred about l o'clock
at night, the train running nearly sixty
miles an hour. The engine buried it
self in the ground, and the cars follow
ing left their trucks and shot out in
different directions, but did not turn
over. Only two weeks previously new
steel coaches had been put on this
train, else the number of deaths would
undoubtedly have been greater.
J. o. Sinclair and daughter Mildred
were in one of the two rear sleepers,
which did not leave the track, return
ing from an over-Sunday visit at Dar-
len. P. H. Nelson and O.. E. Anderson
were in the smoker, the second car
from the engine, returning from Chi
cago, and both sustained bruises, the
former in the leg and the latter in one
arm. Mr.. Anderson, who weighs
about 250, was sitting in the third seat
from the front, and he said that he
struck the front end of the car
Owing to the crowded condition of
the telegraph lines following the
wreck, no word was received from the
Ladysmith passengers until shortly be-
fore the train arrived, and great anx-
iety was felt by relatives, although
the first report as to the injured given
out at the office here proved to be
correct.

HAWKINS FALL FESTIVAL
Large Display of Farm Products to
be Sent to State Fair

Notwithstanding inclement weather,
the Harvest Festival held at Hawkins
last Monday was a decided success.
Many who had planned on attending
and taking exhibits were prevented by
rain and by the fact that the eastbound
way freight was about four hours late.
Still, the number of exhibits was large,
and the quality such as would grace a
big county fair or even state fairs
Several specimens of corn exceeded II
feet in height, the~ largest pumpkin
weighed something like Is pounds, and
the other grains, grasses and vegetables
were in proportion. Rosy checked ap-
caulifower and onions big as saucers
We'd in attracting attention with man
high grasses and mammoth potatoes,
rutabagas and other vegetables. One
striking feature was the large number
of exhibits of corn When so many ex-
hibits of fully developed corn can be
made on the 4th of September, the old
idea that we are outside the corn belt
may be safely laid aside. The program
of sports and the speaking were badly
disorganized on account of rain and
poor railroad connections. Judge D.
w. Maloney spoke on the subject, cop
portunities of Eastern Rusk and West
ern Price Counties. - We might add
that the exhibits displayed also spoke
vividly and emphaticaly on the same
subject.
The premium winning exhibits will
be sent to the State Fair, and perhaps
to other fairs, as an advertisement of
Hawkins and vicinity.
