NEW .MEXICO IN A NUTSHELL.
James McCarthy , Denver's well known
"t'ltz Mac. " has returned from a live
weeks' sojourn in New Mexico , says the
Denver News. He brings back with him a
fund of chat which he delivers in his happy
style to the ever appreciative friends who
love to hear him talk. He is planning to
write a resume of New Mexico and its re
sources , which he wishes to miike mojt eon-
else and complete. Kor the purpose of gath
ering data he Qpcnt most of his time while
there in the saddle. Grant county was his
headquarters , and the climate of that portion
tion of tlio countr ) ho states Is the finest
ho ever saw. The. winter months arc all
much the same ns those of Colorado in the
fall. He was greatly Impressed with the
mineral resources , and says that the Mexi
can miner Is so inferior thnt ho Is not to be
compared on the same daj with the gold-dig
gera of Colorado. Bald he : "The Santa Hlta
mine is one of the greatest producers in the
southern part of the United States. The
copper which comes from this mine is so pure
that there Is scarcely any need of preparation
to coin It Into cents at the mint. At lllacl
Hawk there nro silver mints from whicl
silver Is readily taken out In Its nativi
state , and this is Immediately sent to tin
mint at Silver City , only sixteen miles away
Mr. Seldomrldge. who recently died at Cole
rado Springs , was ono of the owners of a
rich producer of Hlack Hawk district. " Fit ?
Mac .states that not a hole In this district Is
over twcnty-llvo feet deep , and that tlio on.
brings over $ JO,000 per ton. There Is tall
of a new railroad to connect these in Int.
with the St. Augustine coal fields , eight }
miles north. There Is a branch road of tlit
Santa Ke connecting Silver City with IllacK
Hawk. D. II , Molfat , Q. E. Itojs-Lewln um
J. T. Graham of Denver are operating 01
a large scale In the Mogollon mountains In
the northern part of Grant county. Their
main property is the Independence mine
and they have a line pan amalgamation
plant on the White river. Some of the fin
est milling plants In the world are In New
Mexico , and they are worked at a gooi
profit.
The I'lnon Altos gold mines north of Sll-
vor City arc well known. They were orig
inally worked by a placer , but they are now
operated In loJo claims and their depth
Is considerably greater than the rest of New
Mo-vlco's mines , but they are not as rich.
The cattle ranges at present are In u verj
line condition and the cattle are looking
more prosperous than ho has ovt-r seen them
during his fourteen years' familiarity with
Now Mexico.
WATER COMPANY FORFEITS TITLE- .
The case Involving the title to the Grasa
valley canal , which ease has been on trial
before a Jury In the district court of Gar-
flold county , says a Glenwood Springs dis
patch to the Denver Times , has been decided
and thn company must forfeit its title to
the canal and pass Into the possession of the
holders of the water rlshta.
The Grass Valley Land. Loan and Irriga
tion company owned the canal and reservoir
and claimed an appropriation of water thore-
for from East Hlflo creek. The company
sold to various persons , who owned land
under the canal , water rights to the amount
of about thirty-eight cubic fuel of water per
second of time , receiving upwards of $12,000
therefor. The company agreed thnt It would
furnish thu water and keep the canal In
repair , and that when It had sold water
rights oqu.il < o the estimated capacity of the
canal to furnish water and two-thirds of
thu contract prlco for the same had been
paid In full , the owners of said water rights
should have the tltlo to said canal. Tim

agreements and on the 8th day of Sfptem-
bor suit was commenced in the district court
to have the tltlu of the canal declared to

black sand Is secured from the placer
grounds In this section. The sand accumu

or wherever the ground Is handled by means
of water. U recently became known that
this sand held and contained a great deal
of gold and an assay was accordingly made
at the university by I'rof. Knight for gold.
Ills work showed that It contained $9.40 In
gold to the ton , very nearly the same as
thn New York assay , Mr. Knight did not
make a test for silver , which It will bo Been
adds considerably to Its value. The sand
which was sent to Now York wns from the
Albany placer company's ditches and was

I'AIIADISE FOR WOLVES.
The National park l said to be Infested
with largo numbers of wolvea and coyotes ,
which prey unhindered upon the game ani
mals In the park , writes a Livingston ( Mont. )
correspondent of the Anaconda Standard. So
numerous have they become and o bold In
[ heir attacks that elk and deer In large
j.iiiila have sought refuge from them by
leaving the great game preserve and rcu-
U'zvous In thp vicinity of Clnnlbar , Gardiner
and llorr , their natural timidity toward man
bulng overcome by their abject fear of their
carnivorous enemies , wboao frightful howls
resound through tbo park lu 0110 continual
. horns from the settlnK In of curb night un
ill the breaking of thu dawn.
The country for twelve or fifteen mllr-
this gldo of thp park boundary Is lltrrallj
itoeked with elk and deer , and It Is no trlek
at all for the least experienced hunter to go
out and secure fresh venison at any hour of
the day.
Some means should be adopted to rid the
park of the-so wolves and coyotes. They nro
Increasing rapidly each year , and at this
time are even leaving the security afforded
them In the park and following ns closely
after their prey as their sneaking Instincts
ami fcnr of men will allow. The state pays
n bounty on them of $3 a head , and wolf
hunting IIPS become quite a prolltable biisl-
newj along the park border. Hut they are
so numerous that the destruction of n few
hundred does not materially reduce- their
number. The bounty fund disappears , that's
true enough , but the money Is paid out for
nothing ; for by another season the Increase
will bo much greater than the number killed
for the bounty.
Said a gentleman who came down from
the park the other day , discussing how bes4t
to get rid of them : "A systematic whole
sale hunt would seem to be the only way to
go about it. hut the park rulea appear to
stand In the way of this , wolves and coyotes
receiving the same protection as any other
animal. If the people of the Upper Yellow
stone were allowed the privilege they would

NOT YET GOOD INDIANS.
The band .of Ynklma Imllaiut who were re
ported starving and freezing to death In
the IJlg liottom Ulati-lct In the Cascade
mountains , according to a Tacoma dispatch
to the San Fraiiflsro Examiner , has bsen
rescued by Agent Irwln of Fort Slmco ? , who
orcfnizod n resent party under Ins'ructions
from the Indian department at Wc.hliiRton
city. Chief Charles Sklmmut of the Yakl-
mas was the means of saving the party.
After snow had fallen to n depth of ten feet
In the Big nottom country a month ago and
it had bee-jin ? Impossible for the band to
escape ho Improvised a pair of snowshocs
nr.d walked out , reaching Chcballs Ion elaya

s'.arvo or dlo from exposure if not rescued
at once. He left seventeen Indians snow
bound , among the number being several
women and children. When h ? and A.TCIU
Irwln returned with the rescue party they
found eighteen Indians , Mrs. Caroline Secw
having given birth to a boy In the snow
bans ! of Mount Tacoma. She and the b. r
are doing as well as If both had had nil th ;
attention of civilization. They , together with
ten of the moro helpless Indians , have been
sent to Fort Slmcoo , on the cast side of
the Cascade range , nil having been rescued
by Chief Sklmmut and Agent Irwln. Seven
bucks were left in the snow , after being
amply provided with Hour and bacon , to se
cure their property and bring It out In the
spring. Nineteen Indian poults were starved
to death during the storm. The Indians had
been out on nn annual hunting tour and
wore hemmed In by the snow falling a month
earlier than usual. Deer meat secured dur
ing the hunt saved many of them from starv
ation.
WATER FOR RANDSHURO.
The great drawback to the development
of the mines and consequent growth of the
town of Raiidsbnrg Is lack of water. Every
effort lias been made to IIml ajuipply in the
neighborhood , but so far In vain , says the
San Francisco Call ; every drop used has to
bo brought from the cow wells at Garlock ,
near the base of lllack mountain , some
twelve miles to the west on the road to
Mojave , and us may bo readily imagined ,
It Is both poor and dear , costing for drink
ing purposes some $2.60 per barrel , ami for
other purposes from $1.50 to $2. The per
manent character of the mines so far de
veloped and the absolute need of a snlHclcnt
supply of water and the certain return on
money Invested In an enterprise looking to
filling this need , has attracted the atten
tion of capitalists. Two San Francisco men
of abundant means and largo experience

where they will meet others from Los An
geles , and with expert engineers the parly
will go over the ground between that town
and Owens Lake , some sixty miles to the
northwest In Invo county , with a view of
laying n pipe line to supply Rundsbiirg with
water from the lake. The lower part of the
lake , as Is well known , Is rather too alkn-
llno for ordinary use , but at the upper and
near the mouth of Owens river the water

This Is the nearest point from which It la

district. The head waters of Kern river
are hut little moro than half the distance
to Owens lake , but the Intervening moun
tains present difficulties which arc Insur
mountable except nt enormous expense , for
relay pumping stations. The slzo of the
pipe line will bo the only limit to the sup
ply , and there are no great engineering
dlfllciiltics to bo overcome In securing It.
The nrcwinrv preliminary Inspection lias

of the parties Interested financially In the
promotion of the enterprise. Once a line
of the proper size is laid the question of Us

ID.UIO'S NEW RAILROAD.
Colonel John E. Stearns of Nampa , Idaho ,
vice president and general manager of the
Rolse , Nampa & Owylieo railroad , now In
course of construction , is spending a few
days in the city with Ills family , says the
Salt Lake Tribune. "The railroad , when
completed , will handle all the mining and
stock business of Owyheo county , " said
Colonel Stearns. "Although millions have
been taken from the veins of Do La Mar ,
Silver City and Dcwcy during the past thirty
years , only a beginning has been made to
ward the development of the richly miner
alized belt in which the thre-o camps are lo
cated. There are vast deposits of low-grade
ores which no attempt has ever been made
to market , simply because of the lack of
transportation facilities. All of theSb ore
bodies will bo developed and a number of
new producers and dividend-payers will be
added to Idaho's long list. At present It Is
only with dllllculty that one can get into
the country , forty-eight hours of rough stagIng -
Ing being required for the round trip to
Dcv.ey In the best weather. Nothing but a
hlt-'h-grade proposition can be made to pay ,
and Investors In consequence are wary of
property In that section. From Rabbit Creek
to Dtnvey will be the most dilllcult part of
the road. Much rock and trestle work will
be necessary , and for the twenty mile. ? the
grade will average 3 per cent. Though the
stage distance from Nampa to Dowcy U only
forty-five miles , necessary detours will make
our road sixty-one miles In length. From
Dewcy to .Do La Mar Is five miles distant
and Sliver City three miles , both accessible
by need stage road. Flint Is distant twelve
miles and South Mountain twenty-three
miles. Neither of the latter two camps
hc.1 bean developed to any extent , although
prospecting has Indicated the existence of
immense bodies of low-grade * silver-lead
ores. With cheap transportation for timber ,
lumber , fuel and supplies , there ought
quickly to be a big boom In mining In the en
tire country tributary to the new road. "
Colonel Dewey of Dewey , which Is known
to old-timers as Uoonovlllo , Is president of
the llolse , Nampa & Owyheo company. Ho
la well known to u large crclo ( of Salt Lak
ers , having been connected with various big
mining enterprises of the west for ycaro
past.
TRY CO-OPERATIVE CANNING.
A prominent representative of tbo Colum
bia River Fishermen's union was In the
city , says the Tacoma Ledger , and sayc that
: ho union Is preparing to next season enter
ute direct competition with other cannery-
lien on the river. He aaya that $11,000
IBS already been subscribed toward the now
iroject. and that actual work on construc-
.loiuof the plant , which Is to bo located at
Astoria , will ho begun In tlmo to enter busi
ness with the commencement of the season
icxt year. With thla end In view a com-
iaiiiy of union men has been formed , known
is the Union Co-operative Fishermen's I'ucU-
ng company , with a capital stock of $20,000.
The cannery la to have a twenty-four-hour
capacity of " ,000 cases , of forty-eight pounds
each , and will run night and day through
ho entire Hi-ason , giving employment to

OPENING THE MOTHER I.ODE.
In connection with the Sierra Pacific rail
road , which Is to run out of Stockton Into
the mining section about forty-five miles
eastward , another great enterprise- pro
jected , says the San Francisco Chronicle ,
and one that will greatly tend to revolu
tionize the present situation nloii'g the
mother lode of California , extending through
tbo counties of Amador , Calavoraa and Tuo-
Inmno. The gn-nt factor will be the Im

"Water power , " salcV Mr. Hart well , "hi now
mostly used by the mines , ami the great
trouble Is that this power lias always been
controlled by the larger mines , and the
nmaller mines and those In which prc3pect-
Ing was to bo done have not been able to
get rmfllclcnt power to properly operate them.
This electric plant of the English syndicate
will furnish all the power required. Among
the towns that will bo Greatly ben.'fltert
by thu now order of things are Jackson ,
San Andreas , Aimjdor City , Sutler Creek
and , In fact , all the towns In that section.
The building of tbe electric road will be
very expensive , owing to the uneven charac
ter of the country It will pass through. It
will probably coat $10.000 a mile , but It will
undoubtedly prove a paying Investment as
It will glvo that section of country nn al
most direct outlet to tidewater ami to San
Francisco and make It possible to handle
all the products of that region to much
better advantage. It will also , of courae ,
greatly stlii't'lato development of all kinds In
the counties through which the mother lode

rejected the application of citizens of Greg
ory county to make entry of the towrslto of
Fairfax. The town was located several yearn
ago , and aspires to be the county scat of
Gregory county as soon ns the county Is or
ganized. The townslte application was filed
by the county Judge of Charles Mix county ,
to which Gregory Is attached for Judicial pur
poses , through his attorney , John I ) . Rivers ,
and was rejected for two reasons. Ono rea
son Is that the townsltors apply to make
proof at once on ICO acres , and claim a pop
ulation of only 50. Thla Is premature' , as
final proof upon a tovvnslte cannot be made
until after the expiration of three months.
The other-reason is that 50 people cannot
make proof on so large a tract as 100 acres.
The case will be appealed to the commis
sioner of the general land office.
