to spend some of the 500, 600 re.

Mass. Regiment
Moved to New Camp
Boys Now Settle and Like Camp
Better Than the Old One. The
Ground Is High and Naturally
Drained.

The Second Massachusetts, Ins
fantry has moved to the new
camp site northwest OF town,
and are well pleased with their
new location The ground is
higher, and il is sandy and does
not get muddy. They are also
in a location that will be free
from the big dusts in the spring.
The water system at this camp
has been installed, so that it is
very convenient. Pipes have
been run all through the site and
plenty of bath-houses provided.
There is an ample supply Of
water for the regiment, and
another well is being sunk in
their camp, which will supply
more troops TO be camped there.
Large comfortable mess halls
have been erected, and every.
thing arranged to make the men
as comfortable as conditions in
the field will permit.
The camp is laid off in streets
snd alleys. Several houses for
officers have been erected, and
others are being built as fast as
the carpenters can do the work
1t is thought by the army men
that this is one of the best loca
tions for a camp on the border,
and that it will be the largest.
The Second Regiment Senti-
mel, the Massachusetts boys
publication, has the following TO
say in regard to the move:
When it was rumored that the
old Second Regiment was going
to break camp and move, most Of
us spoke our minds on the subject
in phrases and expressions not
found in the best efforts of famous
writer's. We were comfortable
and settled, and at home and
well what was the use of moving
any way and being all torn up for
a week, and then Friday morning
the order was given to pack and
the camp just folded it's tents
like the Arabs, and silently stole
away" " 1t just fell down about
our feet and faded out of sight in
a steady stream of trucks and
wagons. 1t was done so quickly
and easily that anyone who lost
his goat didn't have halter on il,
And then we got TO the new camp
and have been cOngratulating
ourselves ever since. The streets
) are laid out in fine shape and
everyone is once more settled
and at home. The dining kslls
made big hit and although some
of us were table shy, we are all
: broke in now and sit right at the
table as if we were used TO TO-
. One Of the most pleasing features
of the new camp is the fact that
{ we can look around and see some,
; thing besides sand. The brush
7 gives a general greeness that is
T most welcome. If we could only
5 import a tree-oh well, we will be

Lapis Lazuli Vein Found

covery has just been made OF a
tissure vein of lapis lazuli or
lazurite, about 100 miles west of
I'll Paso, over tine FL Paso and
Southwestern Railroad, in the
north. western part Of Tres Her
manas (Three Sisters)mountains,
II miles northwest of Columbus
in Southern New Mexico. This
is practically the first discovery
of this rare and precious stone
in quantity ever made in the
United States, as only small de.
posits have been found in one
other place, in the state of
California, In this newly dis
covered vein there is believed TO
be an ineXhausJib ole body of IL,
which can be mined from the
very service. Its use in the arts,
in the manufacture of imperish-
able dyes, in decorative architec-
tural and ornamental work, and
as a precious gem, renders it OF
great commercial value.
The discovery was made by
w. } Holmes, a mining man of
III Paso, who while operating a
zinc mine in these mountains,
chanced 70 notice some speci.
mems in the cabin of an old negro
prospector. Mr.. Holmes, who
had lived in San Francisco and
had seen the lazurite in the
famous lapidary of Kincaid that
came from Russia some 20 years
ago, instantly recognized it, and
began prospecting for the vein,
which he finally discov cred last
week.
The vein occurs as stated in a
tissure vein in granite, having a
northwest, southeast strike,
showing on the surface a width
Of one foot to five feet, and a
strong outcrop of oyer 1000 feet
in length. Along the surface of
the claim are large boulders of
the rock scattered around, some
of them weighing half ton each
all of which are colored and
banded or scanned with a beauti.
full blue color. Samples Of the
rock have been tested in the locaI
assay offices and laboratories,
and others have been polished
with the result that the rock is
pronounced to be lapis lazuli. A
claim has been located by Mr.
Holmes, Claude A. Brown and
Fred E. Cunningham of El PasC
on the vein, under the United
States Mining laws, which i:
named the LApis.Lazuli Ultra
marine mine. The owners arr
anxious to start development
work at once, and will put thu
product on the market as soon a!
possible. Some idea of its valu,
may be understood when it il
stated that the genuine ultra
marine pigment extracted iron
lapis iazuli and running only
per cent was worth, just prio
TO the war, 500 per ounce, an,
is now much higher. This pig
ment has an imperishable color
as is evidenced in paintings o
the ancients still in existence, a
well as In vases unearthed in ltal
and Greece, which were made G
this rare stone. AS a gem, it /
said 10 be worth per karat.
