The President has appointed
William M. Jenkins as Governor of

the indorsement of Senator Mark
Iluuna, but Delagate Flynu and

indorsed Jenkins and ho received

now secretary of Oklahoma and is
respected by all regardless of
politics.
The great question now among
the politicians of the territory is
who w iirucceed the late Hon. Geo.

President McKinlev, April 20th,
appoined James W. Kaynalds, of
Las Vegas, secretary of this ter
ritory to succeed the late lion. Geo.
H. 'Wallace. The appointment is
a good one and will be satisfactory
to the whole territory.

ed about six miles up the river from
the town of lied River:
"The Black Copper, owned by
the Taos Gold Mining & Mi'ling
company. Four years ago quite a
stir was created by finding nch
free jold ore in a well defined tia
sure vein at the depth of thirty-Sve
feet. At the point whore the gold
was opened the vein was throe and
one-half feet wide and the rich por
tion one and one-half inches wide.

I owners have continued to stir the

' little of this streak has materialized.
This vein is still there and shows
occasional rich npots aud altogether
averages two and ono half feet
worth' ?2o gold per ton. At this
time the company is building a
ten-stamp mill and have it about
ready to commence operating.

Uowover. there is a largo amount f
of broken up vein matter on the

should be taken into account as ovi

extent with wash or slide. In min

mountain is abrupt in the vicinity
of the vein exposure. The sxtf'ace

might be accomplished in a bison's
