RATIFICATION BACKERS
OPTIMISTIC IN CAROLINA

RALETGHN. N. c.. Aug. 14.-Rati-
fication advocates held the advantage
last night of the norts Carolina fight
over ratification of the federal suf-
frage amendment as a result of devel-
opments These included a special
message by Governor Beckett, urging
ratification, and a favorable report
on a ratification resolution by SEN
ate committee. Although the victory
of the suffrage supporters in com
mittee appeared over-whelming--a
vote of seven to one for a favorable
report being recorded-the action
merely marks the beginning of an
expected bitter contest. The suffra ge
leaders were given new hope by the
governors plea, but his statement per
sonally he was against the amendment
served TO bolster up antagonists

fortune TO dishonest agent who left
the country and was nevsr heard OF
again. Paktie was a ruined man.
The next mention OF Santa Rita
COPPER was by wislixenus who In his
"Tour through Northern Mexico
states that in 1928 the mine was In pos
session Of Mr.. Coursier, u French resi-
dent OF Chihuahua who was reported
to have cleared about half a million
dollars In seven years. But the mine
finally had to BE- abandoned ON account
OF the Insians. Robert Mcknight then
took possession Of the property and
operated 1t until 1896. In 1910 Leon
ardo sesquieros took over the property
and operator 1t successfully until the
late fifties when the failure Of sup
plies from Mexico due to the depre-
dations Of the Apaches. compelled him
TO abandon the camp. Before 1850 two
men named Sweet and Lacorte took
possession of the property and worked
IL, assisted by two Others namei
Brand and Fresh. II Is doubtful
whether they obtained a. lease from the
original owners, 1t being more likely
that they filed United States mineral
locations on the ground.
In 1862 General sibley. commander
Of the Confederate Forces from Texas,
held this region for time and II Is
interesting to note that a mimic ball
mold was found In 1910 when part OF
the old fort was razed to make room
for the present machine shops. These
last holders Of the property were sue
cessful in the mining but were com
PEELED to abandon the work on account
Of the Pinos Altos gold strike drawing
away most OF their workers, and the
Apaches also were giving trouble. The
place was abandoned as military post
ut this time, and during the following
years the ground was located and re-
located by prospectors without any re-
gard to the original Spanish grant. In
1873 the place was again made a mil
ltary station. The Apaches were quiet
and Mr.. NJ. d. Hayes connected with
the first smelling works n Colorado,
bought the Santa Rita copper claims
on behalf of Denver people and at
tempted to perfect the title by obtain
ing patents under the mining laws Of
the United States But the application
OF Hayes was denied by the govern
ment, who upheld the title vested In
the Elguea heirs. The secretary Of the
interior confirmed this decision when
appeal was made to him. In the mean
time Mr.. Hayes and his associates
traced the surviving heirs OF the FL
guea estate who were scattered
through Mexico and Europe,-and in
October, 1879 he obtained the title
from these heirs. Finally Il United
States patent was obtained. All Of
these papers and records are in pos
session OF the present owners OF the
property.

before the white man came, and the
occurrence Of considerable exposure Of
free copper metal makes this quite
probable. 1t is said that in 1900 an
Apache Chief. grateful for some kind
ness done to him by Spanish Colonel
named Jose Manuel Carrasco, told him
OF the copper deposit. There is some
disagreement among historians as to
whether the Indians knew of the cop
per but there is good evidence that
copper hawk-bells were used by the
Indians In the time OF Alyar Numez de
vaca. Carracso evidently recognized
the value Of the copper mine and in
terested Don Francisco Elguea. a veal
thy merchant, banker and delegate TO
the Spanish Court In the property.
Elguea obtained a concession from the
Mexican government This concession
was known as the "Santa Rita del
Cobre Grant" and forms part Of the
present title to the property. The first
work was done by Spanish prisoners
and convicts. Carrasco sold his in
terest in Elguea In 1904 and the latter
contracted to supply the royal mint
with copper for coinage. This was the
second copper mining done I'm what Is
now the United States. the first being
in the Lake Superior district. In 1909
Elguea died and the property was
operated by Juan Onlz on behalf Of the
widow an heirs. The first American
TO visit the mines came about this
time. He was James Rattle, hunter
and explorer and he mentions the fact
in his Narrative" and states that
Oniz was experimenting the mines at
this time. Pattie and his associates
LEASED the mine for five years at
$1,000 a year. During that time the
Indians gave considerable trouble ow-
ing to their hostility TO the Spaniards
The Patties in 1925 made treaty OF
peace with the Apaches which was
