Colorado Mining Man Predict* That
New Mexico Camp Will Become Big-
gest Mining Settlement in America
—Sale* at Top Figures Continue to
Be Made—Important Deals Pending.
Special to THE TIMES.
Lordsburg, N. M., Dec. 19.—John
I.andon. an experienced mining man
of Colorado, baa Just returned here
from Sylvanlte and speaks moat high-
ly of (he camp. He Is on a business
trip, but will return to the camp. He
says tellurium ore has now been
opened In seventeen different places
In the district and that the camp Is
sure to be the biggest mining camp
In America.
Only the other day Colorado par-1
ties, represented by M. Carrolton of.
Cripple Creek, took over the Gold
Hill and other properties. Mr. Car-
rolton is sole owner of the great Fin-
ley mine In the Cripple Creek district,
and one of the largest individual oper-
ators in (he world. It Is reported that
be has really made the purchase for
himself.
Thursday John Slaughter and the
Holcomb brothers sold the Holcomb
properties to Colorado parties for $05,-
ODD, receiving $ 17,00b In cash and the
rornutndcr to come lri payments.
"A total of five big companies have
now secured holdings in the camp,”
Bald Mr. Landon, “and you will soon
see something doing.”
Other reports from the camp are
equally encouraging, indicating an
early activity in the entire district.
Several important mining deals are
now pending, with several sales prac-
tically ansured. Owners are now
stronger in their demands for cash
payments on all options and this Is
bringing in men with money to oper-
ate with.
The severe weather will retard
things, as now owners are slow about
starting work during a cold snap,
.when a few days' watt will bring pleas-
ant weather.

Ecstatic little murmurs of curiosity

' I have decided to give you pearls,”
said the great kln«.
A tumultuous -hand-clapping came
from the delighted assemblage; and
then the eunuchs passed through the

GILA AND SULPHUR SPRINGS
VALLEYS FILLING UP.
Nineteen Settler* Went Out From
Bowie In One Night—Three Hun-
dred and Thirty Claims Filed In the
Land Office From Sulphur Spring*
Valley.
Special to THE TIMES.
Bowie, Ariz., Dec. 19.—The Gila val-
ley, the Sulphur Springs valley, and
other parts of southern Arizona, are
being rapidly settled by seekers after
homes on government lands. Every
train passing here carries men going
to the Sulphur Spring valley. Nine-
teen went over last night, all of one
party, and the dally avfvrage for the
past week has been better than five.
It Is signified that 99 per cent of those
going In file on claims. Three hun-
dred and thirty claims have been filed
In the land office from*that valley.
The Glia valley Is not being over-
looked. This week a large party of
homoseekers went Into Duncan and
Died on land In tracls from ICO to 320
acres. These men were all of the
best type of American citizenship,
and all have money. Fifteen of the
party attended weekly services at the
Presbyterian church in Duncan.
These men will Incorporate under
the laws of Arizona and take out a
canal for the Irrigation of their land.
They are amply able, financially, to
carry out their plans.
II, is estimated that nearly one thou-
sand settlers' houses and farm homes
must, be built in the two valleys be-
fore next summer, which will cause a
heavy demand upon the supply house*
for building materials, wire fencing,
farming Implements, seeds, clothing
and provisions.
The town of Duncan will greatly
profit by the settlements in the Gila
valley, while Wilcox and other towns
will feel the Impetus of the volume of
new business being directed that way.

Good Talk.
Senator Beveridge, during a recent
visit to Portland, talked about oratory.
"The campaign," he said, "has given
us oratory more remarkable for quan-
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience of enemies to
an audience of supporters. Such ora-
tory is rare.
"1 have a friend whose wife, a "suf-
fragoUe,' ts a great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are won-
derful. and her husband the other day
gave me an illustration of the efficacy
of hor private speeches.
“ An agent called on my wife this
afternoon.' he sRld, 'and tried to sell
her a new wrinkle eradlcntor.
"'And how did the man make out?’
said I.
" 'He left In half an hour,' was the
answer, 'with a gross of bottles of
wrinkle eradlcator of my wife's own
manufacture that he purchased from
her.’"
Thoroughly Subdued.
“Your town hall," said the traveling
entertainer, "is an excellent one to
speak in. There Isn't the slightest
eoho, and my voice could be heard
distinctly In the remotest corner of
It."
"Yes. sir." said the landlord of the
village hotel; “there hasn’t been a
blamed thing the matter with acous-
tics of that hall alnce Champ Clark
made a speech there one day last
summer.”—Chicago Tribune,
"Thai fellow has lots of wit. His
conversation Is full of bright speeches
and fuuny sayings. Don’t you find him
very original?" “Not at all." "That’s
strange. Why so?” “Probably be-
cause { take ike same funny paper
that he does."

How She Did It.
“There are ways of making a blind
mule see,” remarked Rose Stahl in
"The Chorus Lady,” "which reminds
me of a girl I used to know who was
being courted by a timid young
banker.
“One afternoon In the garden the
banker scraped up courage enough to
ask In a tremulous whisper for a kiss.
"The pretty girl looked at him
gravely. ‘A kiss,' she said, 'you ask
me for a kiss. Now, applied to the
hand, a kiss signifies respect. On the
forehead, It denotes friendship. Upon
the lips, it Indicates all things—or
nothing.’
"She paused pensively, then she
went on:
“ ‘Yes, Herbert, you may, since you
wish it, kiss me. Ybu may express
yourself In one kiss. Proceed.’
“The timid Herbert, red and con-
fused. pondered.
“ ‘I mustn't lose her.’ he muttered to
himself. 'Where, then, shall I kiss
her? The forehead, the hand? Through
respect and friendship love may even-
tually be gained; but If I am at the
start too bold—’
"Suddenly his meditations were in-
terrupted by a trill of divlnest melody.
U was as if a nightingale were sing-
ing. The young man looked up.
"The girl was whistling, her red
mouth puckered Into the shape of a
rosebud. Her hat was pulled down
over her eyes, hiding her forehead
completely, and her hands were thrust
up to the wrists in the pockets of her
Jacket.”—Young's Magazine. ,
Mine Disasters.
The establishment of a geological
survey station in the coal region adja-
cent to Pittsburg for the express pur-
pose of studying mining situations
with a view to devising plans whereby
the frequency of explosions and other
mine disasters may be averted is be-
ing commended. The experiments
conducted last Thursday in combating
noxious gases and conducting "rescue"
work will. If continued, undoubtedly
develop problems which, when solved
by the government experts, will be
valued and substantial contributions
to the knowledge of mining engineer-
ing, not only in this country hot
abroad. East Tennessee Is especially
Interested in the outcome of these ex-
periments. on account of the exten-
sive mining Interests In this section.
Government statistics show that the
death rate among American miners is
4.86 per 1,000, and that the proportion
in other countries has been from one
to two per 1,000. The enormity of the
increase In this country Is attributed
to the fact that mine explosions have
been more numerous and more disas-
trous in the United States than in
Europe and other lands, particularly
In late years. The Fratervllle disaster
at Coal Creek is such a one as the
government desires to guard against
In the experiments just instituted.—
