Chemical Analysis Tells Truth.
The tact remains that chemical

found to contain large quantities Of
potash and phOsphOric acid, while it also

CONTEST is MADE
ON PLACER CLAIM
Tract Near Brick Plant. Opposite the
Shelter, IN Controversy at Las
Cruces Land Office.

A contest is now on for the $50 acres
of land in New Mexico. Just up the
river from the present plant of the FL
Paso Brick company, across the river
from the smelter. A hearing was held
before the land office at Las Cruces
Thursday to hear the protest of the state
of New Mexico. which was formal. and
/ of j. H. Mcknight. of Los Angeles, who
claims that the land Is agricultural and
not mineral. and cannot be- patented IN
der the laws Of the United States for
taking up claims to mineral lands. The
claim Is known as the International
placer claim. and Is 40 acres in extent,
near where the brick company has its
shale and clay beds on the New Mexico
side of the river.
The 100. acres are a part of school
section 16. of New Mexico public lands.
Under act Of congress passed in 1898,
the school sections were given to the
state of New MeNicO-then a territory.
But it provided that no mineral land
should pass in this way and that min
eralized sections should remain TIE prop
erty of the United States and could be
patented under the mineral laws of the
United States Should any such school
sections in New Mexico be found to be
mineralizzed, the state had the privilege
of selecting the same acreage in other
parts of the state.
The Fl. Paso Brick company. previous
to the passage of this act in 1898. had
taken up the $50 acres of section Is and
had applied for a patent to the United
States. This was protested formally BY
New Mexico and by J. II. Mcknight
Proof was introduced in the form of
witnesses from FL PasO to show that the
land was unfit for agriculture. but was
mineralized with non-metallic minerals
in the form of fine brick CLAW and shale
Mcknight has filed a mining location
on land adjoining section Is. attorneys
for the brick company say. and this
is filed upon the same character of de-
Dosits as found on the claim which he
has contested as not being mineral land.

The French In Mexico
Fifty Years Ago This Month They
Marched Into That Country to
Establish a Monarchy
- BY Rev. ThOs- b. Gregory -

IT was just 50 years ago-June 10,
1S63-that the soldiers OF Napoleon
the Third, under the command Of
Gen FOrey, with drums beating and
bunting nuttering. marched into Mex
leo TO establish upon these western
shores a great Latin kingdom
Almost Immediately after the entry
OF the French, and doubtless by pre-
OF the Assembly Of NOtables," at which
IL was decided, with all due solemnity
that there should be established a mon
archy with the City of Mexico as its
capital and with Macmillan archduI-e-
Of Austria, as emperor.
On June u. 1854. Macmillan and his
wife entered the city Of the AEtecs as
later, June 19, 1867, the farce ended
with the crack Of the rifles which sent
Macmillan to his death and his con
sort broken hearted. back to Europe.
The assembly OF Notables" did not
amount to as much as its members
thought it did; and the old world was
given its first practical demonstration
q doctrine which, 1t would seem. NapO-
leon the Third had not looked upon
with becoming seriousness
To this day the Macmillan episode
remains puzzle TO the student OF his
tory.
Some say that the idea Of a great
imperial Latin state side by side with
ties furnished the fascination upon Ma
pOleon's mind which was responsible
Tor the business while others hold
that the pursuit Of the bubble was a
necessity imposed upon the emperor By
the exigencies OF his situation

ter, free from silt, the plat nearest the
source gave the best yield of crop. This
experiment bears out the conclusions
regarding silt. indicating that this plat
received more water than the others and
had no accumulation Of anything to clog
the soil.
A Factor IN Irrigation.
We thus conclude that the Rio Grande
silt Is certainly a factor IN agricultural
districts, and IN some cases Of careless
use, Is somewhat of a menace in time;
but where properly and intelligeutlv
used, Is Of immense value as a fertilizer
