DAILY GAZETTE Kill DAY, JULY 21, 1881. U.ETTt: I.EAMX;S. A purse of $."(j lias been raised in Santa Fe t( lie presented to Pat (larrett for Killing Billy "tlic Kid." , The train from the east was six hours late yesterday, having been detained by a wreck just east of Florence. The body of Charles Ellis, who was killed by Tuesday's wreck on the A. & 1'. H. U., (full particular of which will be found on the second page) passed through on yesterday's Atlantieexpress for burial at his old home in New Bed ford, Mass. The monument to Mr. Manvede's en terprise his new block between the post oilicc and the (Jazettk office has been unveiled, the staging being taken down and disclosing a line structure. .The broad side walk is being extended in front of the building. Affairs at the Navajo Agency are re ported to be of a critical nature. Rev. (J. Eastman, the objectionable Agent, not manifesting any disposition to re treat, the Indians are becoming more and more enraged. It is reported that all the employes at the Agency have left, fearful of trouble. ' It has been decided to commence work on the south wing of the new east front of the Jesuit College as soon as Architect. Wheelock has the plans fin ished and the contract is let. It is probable that both Avings and the cen tral building with the tower will be built at once. Mr. Moulton has just linishcd laying a splendid sidewalk in front of t he resi dence of V. A. (5'ivciis, the (Jazettk office and Mr. Marwede's new build ing. If is eight feet wide, made of 2x4 scantling. An extension of this good work to the plaza by property holders will be a benefit to the town. A report comes from Arizona of the appearance and spread of the disease commonly called "black vomit" that frequently rages in extremely hot cli mates. It is a species of yellow fever and almost always results fatally. The tongue swells to alarming proportions, and turns black, the victim usually choking bMleath. A number of people are reported to have been carried ofl'by it at Howie station on the Southern Pa cific Railroad, ninety-eight miles west of Doming. The East side is now without a police force, Officers Franklin and Jilson hav ing tendered their resignation yester day. The occasion of their withdrawal was the fact, that the citizens did not fulfill -the promise made them to raise 200 per month for preserving order. The amount raised has fallen consider ably below this, and the officers nat urally felt little like performing their part of the contract when it was contin ually broken by the citizens. We doubt if ever two more faithful men can be secured for the positions as they are each peculiarly qualified for the positions and have faithfully discharged their duties. Ntrevt Ituiluny. The cars for the street railway were unloaded yesterday forenoon, and a large crowd gathered in the railroad yard to see that Superintendent R. R. Thornton, of the Street Railway .Com pany, attended to the job correctly. A Mpiad of young boys attended the op eration, to theirown infinite amusement and the inconvenience of the workmen. The four cars are jaunty in appearance, the predominating colors being yellow ami white; the interior is of chestnut finish, fitted up with perforated seats. They are double platfnrmed, to be drawn by either one or two horses, and are light running. A fare box will be placed in each car, thus dispensing with a conductor. The cars are from the factory of the Rrownell tfc Wight Car Company, of St. Louis and cost !?T.wiO each. It is not, expected that the line will begin running regularly till Satur day, when cars will run at intervals of twelve or fifteen minutes, from (j A. jr., till 11 i'. m. Singh- fares will be ten cents each way, five tickets for a quar ter. The committee who have charge of the construction and equipment of the. line, Messrs. L. P. Browne, W. II. Shupp and J. Roscnwald. are tobe con gratulated for the attention they have given the enterprise, insuring our city an improvement that will be appreci ated by the public generally. It roe km mi's i:xprin-. Mr. John Broclviuan's lightning ex press and passenger line, from Dem ing Junction to Silver City, is one of the best yet started. The coaches arc well arranged for the comfort of pas sengers, and make the trip during day light, starting from Deming at 7 a. m. and arriving at Silver City at 4 p. m. The coaches stop one. hour at Hudson's Hot Springs,, which is one of the best watering places in the West. Connec tions with all passenger trains are made regularly. An entire new outfit of horses and coaches will be put on the line in n few' days. Passengers bound for Silver City will do well to enquire for Mr. B. Rosenfeld, who is the agent at Deming Junction, who will see that they are provided with all the comforts possible. A OOLDF..V NEIGHBOR. The KatabliHhment of m Mall Root Between La Vega and White Oaks. riiieueB of White OakM oíd. Mr. John T. Leer, the proprietor of the new stamp mill at While Oaks, left for Denver yesterday. Just before stepping on the train he was interview ed on the outlook of that rich camp. His opinion is that the fondest hopes of the friends of the great gold camp will be realized. His opinion is valuable because it is based on a practical exam ination of d i Torent claims in the dis trict. He demonstrated his faith in its future by interesting himself in quite a number of properties and putting up a mill to work custom ore. II! lias tested the ore from four mines that shows re markably well. The erection of ma chinery lias stimulated the work of act ive development and all claim owners are making preparations to work their properties. There is a great demand for experienced miners, and Mr. Leer says he will engage all of this class who present themselves. None others need apply! There are enough tenderfeet in the camp at present who are anxious to do miners' work, or rather to receive miners' pay. The time has come when experience is needed, arid all old min ers can receive " employment. The wages at present are from $3 to $1 per day, as all work now is surface work. But wages will increase in proportion as development becomes more difficult and trying. Mr. Leer states that lie has every thing ready to increase the number of stamps at short notice according to the demand. He has power and water for one hundred stamps, and it would not be a difficult matter to increase the stamps to that number. He showed a Gazette representative a certificate received only a few days ago from the U. S. mint at Denver where a quantity of White Oaks gold had been sent to be tested. It was brought to Messrs. Browne & Manza nares, of this city, and by them sent to the mint. The lot contained 20.87 ounces of quartz gold, and was taken from a number of mines in the Oaks with the intention of showing an aver age of the mineral product of the camp, The following are the figures taken from the certificate: Before melting 20.87 ozs After " 10.1)1 Fineness 902 Value $371.24. This test shows that White Oaks gold is extraordinarily fine in quality, as 902 out of a possible 1,000 has been excelled by that of but one other district in the United States, namely, that of 'Grass Valley, California. Mr. Leer expresses his belief that other tests will show up better, and he thinks that the gold of the "Vera Crtiz1' mine will excel in fine ness. This is something in which White Oaks people can take a just pride, and not only they but the people of the whole territory have reason to rejoice. The citizens of Las Vegas, however, although the fact is patent, and appre ciated, that they are deeply interested in the welfare and future prosperity of White Oaks people and their district, have a queer way of manifesting it. What is needed for them to do is to ESTABLISH A JIA1L ROUTE TO THE OAKS. The Gazette has frequently sought to impress upon our business men the importance of concerted action towards effecting this. Apathy, we are proud to say, has never been manifested, but, on lie other hand, all real work for the successful carrying out of the project has been confined to a few men. M. Whiteman of this city lias already done more than any other man, and he is still willing to work and materially as sist in securing the object sought for. It is reported on very good authority that Gen. R. A. Cameron. Postal In spector, lias already, or is about to re port adversely on the present mail route from Socorro to White Oaks. It is known that; the choice of routes nar rows down to the question whether that from Lamy or Las Vegas shall be ac cepted. Santa Fe merchants are work ing for the former route. What are the business men of Las Vegas doing? We believe that General Cameron would report favorably on a route from this city to the White Oaks, but he is not likely to do anything for us beyond endorsing whatever our citizens may do towards securing the route. We have the best natural route, and the matter should be laid before Postmaster Gen eral James and Congress as early as possible. A citizens meeting should be called and a committee appointed to take the matter under advisement. Or, if a self appointed committee composed of several of our most prominent busi ness men were to interest themselves in the matter, then we would be insured the success of our project. Everybody's business is no one's business and some one must take the initiatory step. No connection was made by A., T. & S. F. trains with the through train from San Francisco over the Southern Pacific R. R. at Deming, on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Atlantic express, however, made connection last night.

Thomas and son of the firm of Dean, Thomas & Co., cotton factors and general commission merchants of Rome, Georgia, are in the city. They are looking at the Territory with a view to investments. Trouble at MclMierMou. There appears to be several version! of the story of the killing of the two Mexicans at Pecos by Frank MePher son, tie inspector of Walsen & Levy, particulars of which were published in the Gazette yesterday. It is claimed by the friends of Antonio Romero and a man by the name of Borego, the mur dered men, that the killing was unjus tifiable. On the other hand, the friends of McPherson state positively that his life had been threatened by Romero. It is further stated that Romero had said of the man who afterwards killed him, "we'll kill you ty-night and burn your body." There are so many con flicting reports that it is difficult which to believe. . McPherson is said to be a peaceably inclined man who did his best to keep out of trouble. The whole difficulty is the result of a feud of long standing, that arose over a dispute about the right to cut timber. Mc Pherson first killed Romero in sejf de fense and then undertook to get out of the way. A friend of Romero's bragged that he would avenge his death, and he was killed. McPherson is reported to be in the vicinity of the place where the killing took place, guarded by four men from the tie camp, and five others armed to the teeth came up on the At lantic express yesterday who openly announced their intention of standing by McPherson and would not see him arrested. Others went down from here yesterday to reinforce them. There were rumors current last night that there was danger of trouble at Mc Pherson station, but as Sheriff Romero, of this city, and the sheriff of Santa Fe county went to the scene of trouble, it is supposed that a clash was averted. McPherson is a very gritty man, and was formerly an A. T. & S. F. guard at Trinidad. Woj-iIn nt Commendation and En yjr eoiii-iig-emcnt. Immediately on the receipt of the news of the killing of Billy "the Kid" by Sheriff Garrett, prominent citizens of Ro.swell and the lower Pecos wrote us giving particulars and expressing satisfaction at the brave deed. Capt. J. C. Lea, of Roswell, wrote asking that the Gazette should request the people of the Territory generally and of Las Vegas, Santa Fe and the Pecos river country, particularly, to get up a liberal contribution to Sheriff Garrett as part compensation for the dangers, hardships and risks he has taken in capturing and bringing to justico this noted desperado. Mr. A. H. .Whetstone also of Roswell, writes: "An almost universal shout of rejoicing will go up in this county at the death of this shrewd thief and desperate murderer. The words, 'God bless Pat Garrett for his good work' will escape from many a lip, and people will never cease to love him for his great achievements. He has already accomplished wonders during his short administration. Before its expiration Lincoln county will be one of the most law abiding in the Ter ritory." The Píenle. - The Baptist Sunday-school picnic came off yesterday at the hot springs. A large number were present and a very good time was had.
