So far n Miown the only rallro.nl build
ing now under way In tliu Uocklos Is the
extension of the I'ccos Valley road from
IMdy to Hoswcll , a dUtanco of eighty miles.
This construction Is filvlnc employment to a
largo force of men ami teams , and adds life
nnd thrift to the business of Krtily. From
the end of the track to Uoswell grading
camps arc located , and the work of con
struction Is rapidly going forward. It Is
expected that the cars will lo running to
Iloswell by the middle of September or soon
after.
ItoDwoll la one of the oldest towns In the
I'ocos Valley , says an Uddy correspondent
to the Denver Times-Sun. It has a popula
tion of l.GOO , nnd farming has uuriecanfully
been carried on thereabouts longer than at
other fcrtllo points. IMdy Is located In the
center of the wide fertile area , a largo portion
tion of which has bent reclaimed In tha past
low yearn , that forms the southeastern cor
ner of New Mexico.
The building of n magnificent and com-
plcto system of Irrigating canals over 1,200
miles In length has diverted the waters from
the I'ccos no as to cover and make produc
tive more than 250,000 acres of land , of
which over 00,000 acres arc now under cul
tivation. Here crops of all kinds can bo
grown from alfalfa , corn and small grains
to the most liiFclous peaches , plums and
other fruits of all sorts and varieties. In
the heart of the southern portion of this
farming paradliio Is the town of Eddy , which
has a population of 2,800. For an agricul
tural business center It has few , If any ,
equals and no superiors. Its buildings com
pare favorably with similar structures of a
thriving city of tenfold lt population.
Tim COCHBTOI'A MINKS.
The prospectors In the country Just south
of this city held n meeting and organized
the Qreeii Mountain Mining district , and
adopted a set of local regulations that are
to govern , says a Gunnlson correspondent
to the Denver News. A petition for the es
tablishment of .1 postolllco was also circu
lated and rccMvcd over 100 signatures. The
olllco Is to bo known as Union Hill. D. J.
Losan was unanimously endorsed for post
master.
It Is surprising what magnificent ore Is
being brought In from some of the recent
discoveries. Gilbert Hros. of Bonanza un
covered a two-foot vein of white sugar ipiartz
which Is between schist and talc. They are
down only six feet , and have about two tons
of ere on the dump , not ono piece of which
can be found In which free gold Is not seen.
Fred Cuenln and Joseph Grant have the
same vein further up the hill , and the ore
there Is of the same character , being full
of shot gold. They are down eight feet
and the rock Is Improving on depth.
Eugene \Vllllams Is another who made a
good flnd , similar In character to the above.
Those flmlu are creating much excitement
and already a number of prospectors are
going Into the new field.
The gulches have for some years been
located nnd worked , and some are patented
as placer claims , nnd although diligent
search has been made for the sources of the
gold In thcso gulches , no success has been
attained until the past few weeks. Now It
Is almost certain the source has been dis
covered.
VERY RICH STRIKE.
Mr. M. S , Denton brought ore to this
city from the Now Deal mine on Silver
mountain which assayed over $700 to the ton
in gold , with good prospects for something
richer , says a La Vela special to the Denver
NoWs.
This strike was made In an old deserted
claim and Mr. II , Turner , nssayer of this
city , says It Is a wonderful strike for that
klqd of ore nnd wljl In tlmo develop Into
ono of the richest strikes In the state.
They have tunnelled over 130 foal through
solid rock nnd have the best walls of any
.mlno In the Silver Mountain district. This
cdrrtpany has staked twenty adjoining claims
and Is going to push It to a finish. There
arO.now fifty tons of ere In sight and ready
to bo brought to La Vota for shipment.
This claim Is adjacent to the Silver Moun
tain Mining and Milling company's property
on the same mountain . The owners of this
property are M. S. Dohton , president ; V. E.
Sampson , vloo president ; 0. W. Richards ,
treasurer ; B. E. Ulclmrds , secretary.
Silver mountain will bo allvo with people
this week , as the news has spread through
the adjoining country anil strangers are al
ready arriving In La Vota bound for Silver
mountain. Without a doubt It Is a second
Crlp lo Crook.
FOR WORKING DRY I'LACERS.
A party of prospectors from Chadron , Neb. ,
Irnvo gone vo the Black Hills to try their
llftk at ininmc. In the party Is Jim Doyd ,
Who formerly worked some dry diggings
In the gulches near Ouster City , but on nc-
cbunt of the lack of water It didn't pay.
Ever since , with that fascination that takes
Uqltl of u man who once shakes a gold pan ,
li'o has been figuring how ho could get that
cold without working quite so hard for It.
Attar careful experiments he has made an
air blast machine on the fanning mill order
which ho thinks ought to save most of the
gold , and the party went to the old placer
diggings to try It. The machine saved lead
and filings on a trial run of sand , and Jim
thinks It ought to save gold Just the samo.
The machine Is good for twenty yards of
dirt per day , and ho hopes to show with It
that dry placers can bo worked with profit ,
where lack of water has heretofore made
thorn practically of no account.
A LIQUID GOLD MINE.
Charles Schneider , proprietor of the West
ern hotel at Twelfth and Larimer streets , his
employes and friends have been taking a
mild form of gold euro for n yoir past. The
fact was only discovered the other day , when
It was found that the yellow metal existed
to a paying extent In an artesian well which
huu been In operation for homo years and
link been the principal source of the water
supply of the liostelry for that period.
The well Is sunk to a depth of 700 feet , nnd
the water therefrom la said to ha the purest
and clearest In town , says the Denver Times-
Sun. There was considerable excitement
around the hotel when the Mini was made by
Henry Rigger , the head cook.
Ho quickly notified Mr. Schneider , who be-
eaiiio so overjoyed at the good fortune that
bad so suddenly befallen his place that It
was with dllllculty that ho could attend to
his business during the day. R'gger , when
ho made the discovery , was engaged In clean
ing out the water tank. The pump and
tank are both thoroughly renovated every
month. A largo amount cf snud llmls Its
way there , but this sediment Is always taken
out nnd thrown away. This month , how
ever , was an exception to the rule. Rigger
thought that ho saw name particles cf gold
In the sand , and accordingly panned It. The
work proved entirely worth his
while , for several gcod sized
pieces or the metal were se
cured. All the ccoks and several of the
other employes were put to work afterwards ,
and as a result , It Is claimed , that nearly
100 pieces on an averageas largo as a pin
head were obtained from the sand. Later
on some of the water from the well was
analyzed , and thU was also found to eon-
Uln specs of gold , A number of old min
ors , who were guests at the hotel , examined
the findings and pronounced them a good
thing for Mr , Bchnetdor. An assay will ba
made , and this Mr , Schneider expects will
how that his hotel la built over a gold
mlno. These who have seo'i same of the
metal ore of the opinion that a hidden
stream from I ho mountain has found Iti
way to tha bottom of the well and Is itead-
lly washing the particle * of gold Into It.
and think that still more will be pumped
up with the water.

NEW MEXICO GOLD.
"I had occasion to vMt the new gold
camp on Spring creek In THUS county , Now
Mexico , on the southern part of the Sangro
do Crlsto grant , some days ngo , says n con
tributor to the Denver Tlnrcs-Sun , and as
the future of the camp bids fair to be n
bright one , I take the liberty of conveying
the following Information : The camp Is
located nbout twenty miles from Costtlla ,
N. M. , about eighteen from Ellzabcthtown ,
N. M. , nnd thirty-live tnllefr from Catsklll.
N. M. , the latter being the nearest railroad
point. About 100 prospectors nro now In
the camp nnd vicinity , and a number of
claims arc being staked under the fnvorablo
terms offered by the United States Free
hold Land and Emigration company , the
owners of that portion of the grant. The
best claims , or better said the most de
veloped claims , arc the Wonder nnd Aztec ,
and from cither of thcso ono can take n 4
portion of the crevasse matter ( rock , both
In Its true form and decomposed and dis
integrated ) , and by pounding It up with n
common hammer and panning It obtain
from one to several hundred colors of a
very pure gold. . The bottom of Spring creek
to entirely taken up by placer locations
for Its entire length , some two nnd n quarter
miles , to Its confluence with Comanche creek.
From the reports of prospectors the dis
tribution of the gold extends over a surface
of from three to seven miles. Little de
velopment work has so far been done , ns
the camp Is barely two months old , but for
the amount done the showing Is very good.
A month or two more expended In develop
ment work will Indicate the true character
and permanency of the veins , which vary In
width from nbout two to thirty foot. The
ore so far found Is perfectly free milting.
The camp Is situated at an altitude of
about 10,000 feet and Is somewhat difficult
of access , but the roads are not extremely
bad , being somewhat steep In places , but
not very rough or rocky. "
RICHEST MINE IN MONTANA.
Reports from Lcwlston are to the effect
that one of thn richest strikes ever known
In the Judith mountains was made
a week ago In the old Spotted
Horse mine. A large pocket of
ere was found running from $10,000 to $13-
000 per ton. says the Helena Herald. So
far the extent of the ere body Is not known ,
but during the past week more than ? 150-
000 In cro has been removed. But two men
are at work taking out the ore , and the av
erage Is abnit : $15,000 per day to each man.
This ore la not worked at the mills , but
shipped to the Omaha smelter.
This flnd proves the Spotted Horse to bo
the richest gold mine ever discovered In
this state , leaving the celebrated Cable and
old Penobscott far In the background. While
a number cf rich pockets and "kidneys"
have been found In the Spotted Horse , this
discovery Is the most extensive yet made.
TELLURIDE'S BOAST.
Every gold property In the county that
Is being worked lg paying , and paying
handsomely , says the Tellurlde Republi
can. Their total Is not ono In fifty of
the known gold bearing deposit of the county.
When the other forty-nlno are brought , ns
they will be , to the point of productiveness ,
the gold output of San Miguel county will
equal that of all the rest of the state com
bined. Since the settlement of the dis
trict there has never been a tlmo when the
development of Its mines was receiving as
much attention as at present. This Is es
pecially true of the gold properties , and the
demand for such properties Is constantly
Increasing. A number of experts are now
In the county examining properties for out
side capitalists. New mills are of weekly
occurrence.

Tribune than ho was Interrupted by the In
telligence that ono of the two porkers had
escaped and was roaming at largo over the
country. The pig was eventually recaptured
nt an expense of n quarter for boy hire and
some valuable editorial tlmo.
In the David City Banner is explained a
novel way Mr. E. S. Runyon lies found of
hatching eggs. It Is another evidence of
the old saw that a hot Kansas wind never
falls to blow some cne good. Mr. Runyon
had a hen setting on the hay In hla barn
loft near the roof and about ten days ego
she came off with a nice brood of chicks.
During the tlmo she was setting the other
lions continued to lay In the same nest , so
that when she came off there were still
some ten or twelve eggs left In the nest.
These Mr. Runyon neglected to throw nway.
On Tuesday while feeding his horse he heard
a chicken peeping and on leaking around
EOUU found that one of the eggs loft In the
nest had hatched out , and on Wednesday
he looked again and found that three more
had hatched out , anl the chickens were
allvo and spry as could bo. Mr. Runyon
Is positive ( hit there had been no hen en
the nest for at least ten days , but that the
eggs hatched from the heat of the root.
ThU hot , dry weather may bo death on crops ,
but It Is Just the thing to raise chickens
with.

The province of Quebec seeina to be hav
ing extraordinary success with Its law of
some years ago offering bounties In land to
fathers of large families , This law , the
creation of cx-Premler Mercler , started off
with the assertion that It was "advisable ,
following the example of past centuries ,
to give marks of consideration for fruitful-
nesa In the sacred and civil bonds of mat
rimony , " and then provided that 100 acres
of public lands should bo given to "every
father of a family , whether he be born or
j naturalized In this province , who has twelve
i children living , issue of a lawful marriage. "
That was four years ago , and since then no
less than 1,742 fathers of twelve or moro
children have compiled with the conditions
of the act nnd received the slate bounty of
100 acres. Nor Is It at all certain that this
number embraces anything like the whole
number of such families now existing In
the province.
THBEE HUNDBED FEET HIGH.
The niugnlllcont Waterfall In Labrador Fully
DoftcrlJioft.
For many years vague reports of a great
waterfall In Labrador near tno headwaters
of the Grand river has led men to explore
the Interior plateau of that region , but no
satisfactory account had been given of the
appearance of the falls until the recent pub
lication of the results of an exploration
undertaken by Henry G. Bryant of Philadel
phia. Tha object of this expedition , says
the New York Evening Sun , was expressly
to verify the reports as to the height and
location of this natural wonder. On Septem
ber 2 , last year , Mr. Bryant's party reached
the cataract. "Standing at the rocky
brink of the chasm , " be lias
written , "a wild and tumultuous
scene lay before us , a scene pos
sessing elements of sublimity and with do-
tolls not to bo apprehended in the first mo
ments of wondering contemplation. Far up
stream one beheld the surging , llcecy waters
and tempestuous , billows dashing high their
crests of foam , forced onward toward the
steep rock whence they took their leap Into
the pool below. " Conversation amid the
roar and reverberations was impossible. It
seems that a mile above the falls the river
Is a noble stream , 400 yards wide , already
sweeping along with accelerated velocity.
The walls draw nearer to one another ns
three successive rapids are passed , down
which the volume of water rushes , now gath
ering In great billows , till , with an arrowy
flight , the whole vast volume shoots out into
the air.
The sheer fall Is 31G feet , at the head of
which Inclines a chute with a further verti
cal height of thirty-two fest , making the total
descent from the head of the chute to the
surface of the water In the chasm 348 feet.
The Grand Falls are thus nearly twice as
high as Niagara and are Inferior to that
cataract only In volume of water. In respect
of Its power to awaken human emotion ,
however , It may well bo questioned whether
the Grand Falls Is not the greater of the two.
At least there can bo little doubt that such
I'D the case where the Grand Falls are seen
amid the wild nakedness of nature , as Ni
agara Itself was seen by Its earlier whlto
visitors. In approaching the scene Mr. Bry
ant's party were nblo to hear the roar at a
distance of twenty miles.
The1 Bryant party sot out for nlgolet , In
Hamilton Inlet , July 23 , and , us wo have seen ,
arrived at the falls after an arduous journey ,
not wholly free from perils , on September 2.
A scientific question of some Interest pre
sents Itself In connection with Urn present
aspect of the cataract. The appearance of
the sides of the gorge below the falls and the
zigzag line of the river suggest that the falls
have receded from the edge of the plateau to
their present position , a dlstanco of twenty-
five miles. What length of time has been re
quired for the procees of cutting out this
gorge ? A similar question for N'lagara has
engaged the serious attention of competent
observers , For the greater part of the dls
tanco channeled by Niagara the material 1ms
been a comparatively soft shale rock , sup
porting a stratum of limestone. The escarp
ment of the Grand Iltver Falls Is of gncUslo
rock. If Its canon also has been cut out ,
conjecture Is lost In the Immensity of tlmo
that should have been required.
