Rumors Run Riot
News Of the rebel advance toward
the border gave rise to conflicting re
ports. One was that the federals had
advanced to meet the rebels and had
been compelled to retreat. Another
was that the federals had left Ojinaga
to march on to Juarez. Another was
that some of the federals had run
across the United States borders. All
Of these stories were baseless
Carranzo Comes North.
Hermosillo, Mex, Dec. 29.-General
Venustiano Carranza, the constitution
midway between Hermosillo and
Nogales, on the Arizona border. The
reason for his unexpected departure
for the north was not made known
The insurgent campaign will be press
ed against Guaymas, the California
gulf port in southern Sonora which has
been held SO stubbornly by General
Pedro Ojeda's federals.. This was an
nounced from the military headquar.
tiers here today simultaneously with
the departure for the south of the en-
tire first regiment of cavalry. which
set out on the march instead Of en-
training.
Already there are in the vicinity of
Guaymas more than 1000 rebel in
fantry for the most part composed of
Yaqui and Mayo Indians, who have
excelled In the fighting in Sonora our
ing the present revolution. The
cavalry which left today will be used
for scouting.
The assertions from the federal gar
rison at Guaymas has encouraged
greatly the insurgent commanders,
Three federal artillerymen arrived
early today at the insurgent base at
Maytorena and reported that most OF
Ojeda's gun crews had deserted their
posts. This, it was believed would
render the federal artillery almost use
less. 1t was reported also that only
one of the two federal gunboats re-
manned in Guaymas bay.
Constitutionalists may use some
heavy artillery in an effort to eliminate
the danger of bombardment of the
town from the water. The location OF
Guaymas set deep on range Of hills,
always had rendered it difficult to ap-
proach, especially in face of fire from
the bay, but the Importance of pos
sessing the town in order to renew
railway communication between
Sonora and Sinoloa has led military
officials to determine to make an at
tempt at investment and possibly an
assault on the federal position.
Brjtons on Border
London, Dec. 29.--The governor Of
British Honduras has not yet advised
the government here that British
marines have been actually stationed
on the Mexican frontier. Such action,
however, has been anticipated. with
the view of stopping the supply of
arms and ammunition to the Mexican
rebels and guarding the British from
tier against violation by either the fed
erals or the rebels.

4'HE BRIDAL CHAMBER
Some Eearly History Of Lake Valley.

treasure. He agein climbed in amp
the vehicle resumed its journey The
following day the watcher of the night
before picked up on the spot where the
sack had dropped about forty pounds
of ore.
One man, having taken fancy TO
ladies' gold watch, worth $l00, in the
possession Of another miner, offered
the latter seventy-five pounds of ore
for it. The ore netted the receiver
about $4s5.
AT Mutt an employe Of the Lake Val
ley assay office was arrested as he was
about to leave on the train, and be-
tween the blankets in his trunk large
amount of amalgam was found. He
claimed to have found it on the hill
back of the smelter.
One miner loaned his wagon to an
other; when it was returned, bits of
ore were found in the cracks and con-
ers of the bed. Within the last two
years bar of bullion was found un-
der bush on the hillside behind the
smeter. The most of this stolen ore
was taken to smaller smeter near
Georgetown. There are many other
of these stories of stolen ore.
When, however, bars of bullion be-
gan to disappear the management cal

cordingly, Col. Fountain was sent with
some militia They arrested three
men, Johnny Watts, Butch" Zillard
and John Shannon. According to the
story Of Col. Fountain, the men at
tempted to escape and he was obliged
to shoot them. But it seemed to be
well known at the time that many
of the mine officers were in on the
bullion steal, and that they dared
not have these three brought to trial.
1t was even limited that Col. Fountain
was not a loser in executing the leg Dc
Jitga on his prisoners.
Finally the pocket was worked out.
and consequently the population of the
town rapidly diminished. Nearly all
the saloons and gambling houses disap-
peared, and the place bade fair to
again become as barren and desolate
as before the first rich discovery. The
present management keeps caretaker
on the ground and from time to time
makes moderate effort to find sec
ond Bridal Chamber" 1t is reason
able to suppose that the Bridal
Chamber" was not the only rich depos-
it of this section, but where to find
the others-there's the rub. The smelt-
er is gone; the mill is going to pieces;
on the old dumps are thousands Of dol
lars worth of machinery, weather
worn and corroded by rust; in some
sections of the mine are shovels and
wheelbarrows left where they were
last in use and all is silent and de-
serted. c. B.

In 1873 George Lufkin, a prospect
or, picked up heavy piece of ore on
the spot where was found, four years
later, the famous Bridal Chamber
of Lake Valley. When the ore was
assayedit was found to be nearly pure
horn silver.
A small town, later known as "O'd
Town." was built near the find. Luf-
kin and his partner sold their claim to
joan A. Miller of Silver City Miller
was then sutler at Fort Bayard and
| built what was then considered the
/ finest house in Silver City, about three
hundred yards from the depot of the
old narrow gauge railroad
From him the mine was passed into
the hands of what was known as the
Washington Company; and from this
company, to some Quakers in Phila-
delphia. These formed four mpanies,
TIE largest of which, the Sierra
Grande, owned the ground on which
the Bridal Chamber" was dscov-
cred by John Leavitt in August, 1882
He having no idea of the value Of this
Nowhere in the modern world has
there been found such rich ore in such
quantity. One lump was so large that
the engines were unable to hoist it;
and the shaft was too small to permit
of its passage. 1t was known as the
jackson Baby" getting its name
from the manager of the mine, d H
Jackson. A piece of the Baby" was
exhibited at the New Orleans Exposi-
ton in 1885.
The town called Lake Valley had
doomed after the Lufkin strike, but it
now experienced much greater boom.
Saloons, gambling houses, dance halls,
ard eating houses sprang ups over
night. The old town built during
the Lufkin strike was deserted, and
the people found new habitations near
er the great center of attraction, the
mine. Houses were moved from Mutt
thirteen miles away, and the Santa Fe
ran a branch line to the new Mecca.
The place, few months before in
habited by the wild cat and the Jack
rabbit, was now a scene of never end
ing action.
As might be expected there was
drunkenness and violence. Brawls,
murders, end suicides were of common
occurrence. 1t is said that of the first
thirty men buried in the Lake Val
icy cemetery, not one had died in his
bed,
Naturally where rich ore was found
in such compact form, there was much
theft. Pockets afforded means of
conveyance on small scale for pieces
of ore; and lunch pail would hold the
equivalent of several weeks pay.
Under bushes and in deep ravines,
rocks and crannies ore was hid away.
One afternoon after a hard rain a
man who was passing along the street
chanced to see, something shining in
the mud. Moved by his curiosity he
returned that night, but as he APP
preached he found this particular Sec
tion of the street being patrolled by a
man with a gun. Man number two
concluded that he had no
further business in that vicinity
Another time about midnight a COW
cred wagon, evidently heavily loaded,
was seen leaving the lower part of
town. A sack of ore fell from the
back Of the wagon which Immediately
stopped, and a person slipping from
beneath the canvans hastened to rescue
