New Mexico.

Ex-Governor Otero of New Mexico
is said to be one of the promoters in
the new oil field near Denver.
1t is reported that Grover Latham
and d. S. Miller, Jr, have succeeded
in finding a long lost Spanish mine
in the Cooks peak range.
G. R. Brown, who has the Manhat-
tan mine at Pinos Altos under lease,
is making regular shipments to the Ell
Paso smelter He shipped two cars
last week, but owing to the strike in
the smelter, he was requested not to
ship any more ore until further or
ders.
Chino copper OF New Mexico re-
ceives a glowing notice in Boston
paper 1t is claimed to be the most
remarkable property ever known in
that it is able to produce $4,000, 900
pounds of copper annually. During the
first three months of the year it pro
duced approx m at ly l2,O00,O00
pounds. Its output for March was es-
timated at the end of the month at
45,S70 900 pounds. 1t is believed the
total for 1913 will be 55,0oo,0o0 pounds
of copper costing not far from IN
cents.
That the oil fields of the Pecos
valley of New Mexico will prove
among the greatest producers of any
in the country with proper develop
ment, is the unqualified declaration
made By Prof. Fayette A. Jones of AL
huquerque. a mining geologist Of
prominence.

Arizona.

The Hayden smelter is now being
operated at full capacity, with a daily
output of 100000 pounds of blister
copper.
James A. Fleming of Globe is re-
ported to have encountered some high
grade silver ore in the old Champion
mine, which he recently took over.
The diamond drill is still in opera
t1on at the property near Cochrane.
Four holes have been bored. and it Is
said the ores are very satisfactory In
copper values.
The Storm Cloud group at the head

Science Has Rudeiy Shattered Poetic
idea That Has Been Held
For Centuries.

For many centuries, even until COM
paratively recent times. 1t was the
common belief that pearls were drops
of dew that gained entrance into the
shell Of an oyster, and were there
transpired into lustrous gems. Arab
and Indian divers still believe that at
certain seasons oysters come to the
surface and suck In the rain-drops
that later become pearls. Science,
however, has rudely shattered this
poetic fancy. and discovered the real
origin to be a worm. DR.. Hugh NJ.
Smith gives some interesting infor-
nation on this subject in the National
Geographic Magazine.
We now know that almost any for
eign body-a grain of sand, bit of
mud or shell. piece of seaweed or
a small animal-may by its irritation
cause the mollusk to cover 1t with
nacre and make it the nucleus OF a
pearl; but the largest part OF the an
nual pearl-crop of the world is due to
parasites that normally pass a part
OF their life-cycle within the shell of
the pearloyster.

group in the La Plata mountains near
Durango. The ore is filled with free

Mining in Colorado, especially In
the Cripple Creek district, received a
big impetus through the announce

of officers and the perfecting of the
organization OF the Colorado Mines.
Railways and Utilities Corporation, a
$25,000,000 concern formed recently to
effect the merger of the Ell Paso Con-
solidated Gold Mining Company and
the Golden Cycle mining properties.
The strike made at the Donaldson
mine on Donaldson mountain, near
Idaho Springs, is one of the best ever
made in that part of the state. The
ore runs $4,000 to the ton. An
assayer. in test just com
pleted found 1870 ounces of gold
and 699 ounces of silver to the ton.
The streak is five inches wide and
solid. 1t is covered with coarse gold
and much silver. John Larsen. tho
lessee. is having the ore carefully
sacked.
Since the big gold strike at Jasper
thirty-two miles from Monte Vista,
was made a few days ago. there has
been a great influx of miners and
prospectors into the section. Two

CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable to eat even a light
breakfast, for years, without severe
distress, he has trouble enough.
1t is small wonder he likes to tell of
food which cleared away the troubles.

WHERE HER THOUGHTS WERE
Most Married Men Have Had Sim
liar Experience, n They viii
Admit tho Truth.

The husband was reading a news
paper account to his wife. Now and
then he paused and asked a question.
The nature OF her replies made him
doubt that she was listening closely.
He accused her OF having thoughts
elsewhere. and she Indignantly retort-
ed that she had heard every word.
He continued reading for few
minutes and then glanced at her.
From the far-away look in her eyes
he knew her thoughts were not upon
the item he was reading So, turn
ing the sheet as an excuse for
pause, he continued as follows: ap-
parently reading:
Last night, about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. just a few minutes before
breakfast, a hungry boy about sixty
years old bought an orange for nine
pins and threw 1t through a concrete
wall twenty feet thick. With a cry
of despair he jumped into dry mill
pond, broke his arm at the knee
Joint, and was drowned. 1t was only
ten years later, on the same day and
at the same hour, that goat gave
birth to six elephants. A high wind
then came up and killed three dead
horses and a wooden cigar Indian

questioned, suddenly.

his writing, sparkled with true Irish

When he learned that every stoker

ner which I was never quite able to
comprehend or explain.
The true Interpretation was re-
served for the night preceding my
marriage with Evelyn, which. by the
way. had. at her guardians wish, been
delayed for nearly q year because OF
what he chose to regard as her un-
seemly youth. The celebration was to
take place at Cragholt and the house
was already filed with kinsfolk and
intimate friends. including most OF the
wedding party.
1t was after midnight. and Cameron
and l were alone together In his ma
hogany and green study; he at his
writing table and in the same ada
cent leather chair In which l had sat
q twelvemonth ago while listening to
the story Of the incised portrait.
AS was not unusual we had reverted
to that time and to certain Of the In
cidents Herewith connected; and l
had been trying to make clear to Cam
eron. as l had already frequently tried
to do. the peculiar difference between
McNish's expression and his.

ing to my subject. there never was
in all the world before. I believe. such
similarity. And IN repose. the en-
semble. should say, was equally iden-

I've wanted to tell you for . long
while, but whenever I've got to the
verge Of 1t. l have baked"
He paused here to shake the ash
from his cigar reaching across his
desk for a receptacle, and somehow
the gesture reminded me Of that OF
McNish as he had thrown out his arm
which held the letter. and so exposed
the telltale tattooing.

fair that you should know; for though
Evelyn's mother was but my half-sis
ter, still the girl gets the same blood

Yes" l said. II know that. Evelyn
told me that much. / know. too, that
you were born in Scotland; and the
very name Of Cameron is pretty good

branch" he confessed. "and like many
poor men he had a large number of
children. There were ten, all told
and when my poor mother died, 1t be
came a serious problem how to take
care Of US little ones. I was among
the youngest, not over seven, and
had twin brother"
As he said this Cameron, who had
been desultorily drawing figures on his
writing pad with the end of a pen
holder, abruptly shot his gaze to mine
and caught the quick question of my
eyes.

tone, yes, you see. now. don't you?"
