SANTA FE , N. M. , April 10. ( Special. )
The celebration of the thrco hundredth an
niversary of the first Spanish settlement In
New Mexico (9 ( engaging the attention of the
people of the territory at the present time.
It will commemorate a historical event
hbout which not very much Is commonly
known. Thn 13th day of July , 1598 , saw the
beginning of the permanent occupation by
the early Spintah conqulstadorcs , when , un
der the noble and chivalrous Onate , the little -
tlo Spanish army of Invasion , together with
come number of colonist fumlllcs , reached
the point In New Mexico now designated
on the railroad maps as Chamlta. The weary
company hid marched from whcro Is newEl
El 1'aso , first to Las Cruces , thcnco north
to Socorro , suffering privations Innumera
ble , and hoping at each stopping place to
rcflll/u their droims of an Ideal place ut
which to establish a permanent colony. The
little army was not on a campaign of con
quest and was treated In a frlenly spirit by
the natives. Peed , of which they were In
continual meed , was nearly alwajo offered
when by chinco they came upon the Indian
pucbloi scattered through the region and
other proffers of succor were received , which
Bhowert the friendly and peaceable disposi
tion of the natives.
vVANucniNa COLONY.
Leaving Socorro , the band wondcied north
ward , hoping always to realize their dec-am
of a perfect slto In this land of sunshine for
their little colony. 1'lnally they came to the
conflumce of the noble HIo Grande art ! the
winding , silvery Rio Charna. Hero was the
Ideal place , the eljslutn of vvhlcd they had
dreamed. Taint heart/j grew otout again and
fiplrlts buoyant us they viewed the splendid
possibilities before them. It was an Inspir
ing sight , as , standing on the banks of the
broad HIo Gianulclth the waters which
were to render fertile the plains about thuiu
rushing and trembling In Its course , with
thei green fields belonging to the Indian vil
lage on the opposite bank , and wild cvcij
promise of future jicaco and abundance.
It was the 13th day of July , 1508 ,
which marked -the arrival of the ° e brave-
hearted pioneers at 'this ' beautiful spot , otid
it was this day that began the real settle
ment of Now Mexico by the descendants of
the chlvalrj of old Castllo and Aragon. No
time WMS lost by 'tho ' colonists in establish
ing themselves In this new and promising
land and on the day of their arrival ground
watt broken for homes and above all for the
little church In which to celebrate their
thaiiksglvlng. Freely did the gentle Pueblos
crohH the beautiful river give aid and food ,
the bonds of frle < nd lilp between Castlllan
and Indian being thus cemented strongly.
SKTTLCMCNT UEGUN.
In two weeks the church was completed
and , though not pretentious , It was the first
Christian bouse of worship dedicated in this
.wcstei n country.
The completion of the church proved the
strongest anchorage of the struggling colonv
to the spot , now denominated San Gabriel ,
( and a grand celebration was prepared , to
which { ho Indians from all the puobloj wore
Invited. The feature of the colouration wis
a mock battle between Christians and Moors ,
the former , of course , gaining n glorious vic
tory. Games were Indulged In for a week ,
every Incident of the festival being intended
to gnln the good will of thu natives. The
colonist ? so far succeeded tint the Francis
can fathers Induced numbers of the Indians
to abandon their religion for that of the
Christians and today the natives of the
pueblo of San Juan still preserve the recol
lections and teachings of the first padres at
San Gabriel.
Thus was the first Spanish colony in New
Mexico established and it is that incident
which the people of the territory arc en
deavoring to commemorate.
It Is tbo Intention to have a one-day fes
tival , or at most two days , crowded full of
Interesting cvd.us , the day , of course , to fallen
on July 1.1 , 1898.
The Historical society , of which ex-Gov
ernor Prlnco Is the head , and the Pioneer
society of New Mexico , have committees
who are working bard.
, The railroads have already signified their
intention of allowing an especially low rate
from points In Now Mexico and Colorado.
Ampin provision will bo made for the accom
modation of a largo number of visitors , both
At ChVimlta ( San Gabriel ) and at Szn Jn.ni ,
across the river , and there [ 3 no doubt that
the occasion will prove pleasant and profit
able.

Eighteen miles from Tombstone , Arizona ,
Is a mining camp unlquo In all the west ,
where whisky and tobacco never intrude ,
whcro oaths aio unknown and where the pop
ulation keeps the Sabbath with all the strict-
ness of a Scotch village. The miners hold
mornlns and evening prayer and the argu-
ment of spiritual points furnishes the only
recreation for sturdy men , such men as in
other camps find their pleasures ut the gam
bling table or in red liquor. Yet It Is their
choice , says the Cincinnati Inquirer , and
few have been the backsliders In the years
the community has known an organized ex
istence.
The camp Is , In every sense , a co-operative
one. It gains Its livelihood and takes Its
lumo from the Copper Qlanco mine , a gold
property of real value. All the men do their
share In the extraction or reduction of the
rich ere and all arc Increasing In the world's
goods at a rapid rate.
As Is usual In such communities , the camp
has a recognized loader. His name Is Samuel
Donnelly. Ho is stoutly built. In height
about five feet seven Inches , of what might
bo termed benevolent presence , a full beard
Irargely concealing a lather weak face. He
Is the camp's arbiter , Judge and ruler. His
Influence on his two score of followers Is re
markable and , though cur'ously criutlc , srenn
cnerally directed towaid absolute justice
n a code modeled on the teachings of the
pasties of old. His generosity is evident
rom the fact that he freely divides with the
ommunlty the wealth derived from work-
ng the mine , of which ho Is the principal
wner.
The first scandal attaching to Copper
Glance camp came from a man who had de-
ertcd the fold and had joined at Ulsbec the
; rcat majority of carnal minded. He told a
tory of Incidental Immorality on the part
f Donnelly. The deserter's wife. It appeared ,
ad refused to follow him , remaining , with

nelly's duties arc correctional as well as nd-

nUTTE , Mont. , April 10. ( Special. ) The
question as to what depth the copper mlncb
of Ilutto will hold out has long been dla-
cussed , but not until recently have efforts
been made to a-sccrtaln just how deep the
ore bodies go. Some time ago the AraccnOa
company began prospecting with a diamond
drill from the bottom of the Anaconda mine ,
which Is 1.C09 feet In depth. The drill Is
now down 600 feet , which Is 2,200 feet from
the surface. Tlio core brought * up from a
depth of 2,200 feet was ftao glance copper
and would run 80 per cent. The core Is
about two IneliM In diameter and U taken
out in sections about two'feet in length.
The Boston and Montana company has also
used diamond drills with n great deal of suc
cess , nnfl copper ere haa been brought up
from a depth or 2,000 feet. U Is the Inten
tion of the Boston and Montana company to
sink drills on Its properties to a depth of
3,000 feet.

BUTTD. Mont. , April 10. ( Special. ) A -
machine has just been complete 1 for testing
the sandbars of the Missouri river. The
contrivance la about eight feet long by three
feet In width and consists of a sloping screen
with holes a quarter of an Inch In diameter
upon which the gravel is shoveled. The
screen receives an end movement by means
a double throw crankshaft. At the Ramo
time an attachment at one end of the shaft
runs an ordinary wooden pump , which Al
throws the water upon the gravel. Under
the screen are the carpets for collecting the
gold and the black Band , HO arrange ! tlm
the waste product will bo conve > ed over as
great a surface as possible before being dis
charged at the- lower end. The machine Is
operated by one- man at the crank , while P.
another shovels gravel upon the screen. II.
For several seasons the bars along the J.
Missouri have been prospected , the results
being very promising. Gold In considerable
quantities was fouad In nearly every In
stance , men making from $2 to $4 per day
with the cruJest methods. It Is generally
conceded that some means of handling the
sand cheaply and extensively Is all that Is
required to tnako much money out of th Scl
sandbars of the Missouri.

It is proposed by the War department to
enlarge the duties of the Board of Ordnance
ami Fortification by a return to the original
scope of that body. The act of 1888 provided
that the board have charge of varied sub
Jecl ; , such as torpedoes , means of submarine
defense , purchase of steel for high power
gun , completion and test of guns , small
arm , projectiles and other war material. "
The work of this board wai changed in 1890
and many of the duties were transferred to
the corps ot engineer and cidnancc depart- .
mer . The present plan is to have the
board follow the program as originally laid
down. General Miles has recommended that
the board be leorganlzed by having ca Its
membership the chief of engineers and the
chief of ordnance and Ido detail ot an ar
tillery officer as recorder.

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine.
Heals the Sick and Makes the Weak Strong.
The trouble with many persons is not that
they do not know how to work , but that they
do not know how to rest. Overwork and over
strain of the nervous system , followed by insuf
ficient rest and neglect of health is what brings
most of the sickness into the world. Nature
must have a chance to replace the lost cells and
replace the worn out tissues , When this oppor
tunity is denied , nature rebels , and manifests her
displeasure by a functional disturbance in some
organ of the body. Headache , neuralgia , rheu
matism ; imperfect hcait action , indigestion and
nervous prostration all these arc "signs of too
much work and too little rest. Dr. Miles' Re
storative Nervine helps nature rest , and is a
speedy remedy for nervous troubles of every de
scription.
Mrs , Flora Middling ! ) , Rushvlllo , Ohio , says "I consider It n duty nsvvoll ns n bless

which lent their beauty to the spirit of the
lay. The opening chorus was "Ring , * e
Easter Bells" and was sung by the school
and congregation. After a prayer by Rev.
Mr. MacAyeal , "Jesus Shall Reign" was sung
and then followed a responsive reading and
recitations and songs by clasucs and Indi

Dr. David T. Day , the mining commis
sioner of the exposition , has started on a
tour of the western mining btates for the
purpose of seeing to It that the magnificent
mineral resources of the great west are
fittingly represented Ii the Transmlsslsslppl
Exposition. Dr. Day Is chief of the Mining
bureau of the United States Geological sur
vey and has direct charge of the compilation
of the mineral statistics which form such an
Important factor in the business of tlilst
who have mining Interests. Ills position In
the government service not only gives him a
knowledge of the resources of a given sec
tion and of whcro the bcbt varieties of each
mineral are to bo found , but It also gives
him an influence with the mine owners which
makes them very dcslrlous of complying with
any reasonable request ho nny make It Is ,
therefore , practically assured that his visit
among the mines of the mineral producing
west will result 1m a mining exhibit which
will surpass anything In that line ever at
tempted In any section of the country.
Dr. Day's Idea of a mining exhibit Is not
to have the huge .Mining building filled with
minerals of vailous kinds , dumped In heaps
with a view of realizing as much advertising
benefit to the ow-mer as possible , but ho pro
poses , and says ho will have , an exhibit In
which the classification will be such that
the exhibit will be an education In geology
and the applied sciences. The -various ex
hibits will be arranged In such a way that
the ra.v material and the location In which It
is found will be shown , followed by the
numerous processes , In order , through which
the raw material passes in order to produce
the fl-ilshcd product.
With this idea In view the commissioner
will visit the several mining districts to In
spect the material that Is being collected for
shipment to Omaha. This inspection will
probably result , In many cases. In a request
for the oliminaton of some material deemed
undesirable anJ the substitution of other
material to make -the exhibit more com
plete.
One governing desire 01 the part of Dr.
Day Is to inako the exhibit of gems a promi
nent feature of the mineral exhibit. For this
purpose he will endeavor to have displayed
a iflne collection ot the beautiful turquoise
ound In New Me\lco. A section will bo de
voted to the Idaho opals , which equal In
leauty and value those of iHungary and
Queensland. The beautiful blue sapphires
which have lately been found ! n Montana
will bo adJcd to the fine collection of lighter
shades which is available- for exhibition.
Diamonds found In Wisconsin and the
ebautlful topaz found In Utah and Colorado ,
some of it of a beautiful pink shade , will
add variety to the beautiful tints of the gem
section. A number of the magnificent quartz
crystals recently found In 'California will
probably appear In the collection nnd there
will bo garnets from New Mexico and Alaska
and a new semi-precious stone from Utah
varlsclto.
In the gold section there will bo nuggets
n profusion. Alaska will bo represented In a
collection of huge lumps of the yellow metal
and California and Colorado will bo strongly
n evidence In this section. Sliver will be
, hcro , also , and Dr. Day has a pet project
which ho hopes to realize before his return
'rom this trip , that of having a tall shaft
In the form of a Corlnthlin column In the
center of the building made of pure silver.
