Hillsboro can show down with
any New Mexican town for the
greatest number of young men, but
where are all of our young ladies?
We learn that Hopper Bros,
have just arrived on their ranch,
two miles south nf town, with some
fine thoroughbred cattle.

We never mentioned the name of
the Black Range but once berore
and then only in a short compli
mentary notice on its general
"make up."
Mrs. Rhodes, of Lake Valley,
like every body else, has fallen so
deeply in love with Hillsboro that
she came over again Thursday and
will remain over several days.
Col. Woodall, proprietor of the
Sierra Grande Hotel No. 1 and J.
E. Curren, editor of the Sierra
Press, Lake Valley, were visitors
at our office Moudiiy evening.
The type manipulator of this lay
out is getting admirably over the
B:ckness mentioned last week
and the week previous. Nothinp
the matter now, ouly our big toe
has the headache.
The citizens of the placer mines
Ixilow Hillsboro should hold a
meeting and give that camp an ap
propriate name. It is an old camp
and will be a camp and a town for
ages to come, snd should have a
name and, a postofllce. We will
take pleasure in doing anything we j
can toward getting that place
weekly, semi-weekly or tri-weekly
mail. Give the town a name.
Judge W. H. Burke, of Albu
querque, was killed at the Union
depot in that city last Monday
evening, by a moving train. De-
t eased had been a resident of Al
buquerque alwut four years, and
was Irom Utumwa, Iowa, lie was
probate clerk at the time of his
death, and a roan that stood high
in the estimation of the people.
Tlie remains were shipped east for
interment.
We would like to know who
keeps the Albuquerque Journal so
w ell posted on our mining affairs.
In Thursday's Journal it stated
"the Kingston smelter will start up
to-day." This will be news foi the
people of Kingston, and in fact, for
the whole country hereabouts. The
Kingston smelter is making all
possible haste toward starting up,
which, from what we can learn,
w ill be in about three weeks from
this date. Various ores for smelt
ing purposes are being delivered on
the dump, 60 that when it does
etart, the fires will not go out for
mouths to come.
If a stranger had seen the long
rT nnd mnle teams pawing through
cur streets this week he might have
arrived at the conclusion that we
needed a railroad, but we don't
No, no railroad for us, thank yon;
not as long as we can raise an an
cient or modern mule, or a long
born, we will stick to home institu
tions; and 6hould these fail us, we
will fall back on the time enduring

been cursed with a railroad there

of stealing from Uncle Sam's mail
bags and will be sentenced to the
penitentiary; although a packed
grand jury failed to find a bill,
which showed the dirty finger
marks of Nicholas Galles and one

June L. Fuller, the mail robber
and natural thief was sentenced to
three years iu the penitentiary in
Pennsylvania. It will be remem
bered that this muchly petted son
took 8800,00 which belonged to the
Percha bank of Kingston, he was
postmaster at Hillsboro. We pre
sume he will lay aside hU style
and get down to work, something
which will be very hard for him.

I VM.iil.l itot aiiftwer or take any
notice of Alva C. Lowry's lies but
for the reasfln tbat because my
brother-in-law, Mr. W. E. Pratt,
loaned him (Alva) $20 when he,
( Al va ) was dead broke in this town,
anduowhe (Alva), seeing fit to
throw dirt on the "family circle" of
which Mr. Pratt is a member. I
feel it my duty as a man to brand
Alva C. Ijowry, the editor of the
Deming Headlight, as a liar, a
dirty cur, a dog aud a coward, for

Stepping into the saloon of John
Clary a Y ednesday morning we
had the pleasure of seeing one of
the costliest and prettiest cabinet
of ores we have ever seen In the
west. The specimens embrace a
large scope of our mineral produc
ing country, while our home pro
ducts form a very conspicuous part
of the collection. One nugget of
gold he has on exhibition is worth
about $15, but has others of less
value. Here can be seen some of
the largest pieces of mica found in
any country, which came from near
Santa Fe; also brimstone from Las
Vegas. It is a fine cabinet arid
well worth a visit
About the grandst event thatbas
taken plauein Hillsboro in months
and months, months was what we
said, was the opening of the Par
lor saloon last Saturday night by
Mr. McDonald, the proprietor. The
Pailor, as it is very aopropriately
named, had just received the finish
ing touches from the brush and ex
quisite taste of the artist, Mr.
Rhodes, of Lake Valley, and in the
reflection of the brilliant chande
liers a s'cene of dazzling beauty was
presented. As early as 7 p. m. the
crowd began to assemble and par
take of the sparkling wines and
liquors that were lavishly set forth
by Mr. McDonald. Besides the
magnificent supply of costly drinks,
Havana cigars and palatable lunch
es were spread in oriental profus
ion on the counter and partaken of
by the elated guests. It was after
midnight when the last visitor quit
the sceneB of festivity and Mr. Mc
Donald closed his doors and Bought
the quietude of rest. Everything
passed off in good cheer and the
best of feelings existed throughout
the entire affair. Mr. McDonald
has, indeed, oue of the prettiest
and pleasant public resorts in the
county and is himself a capital
good fellow who is p assessed with a
whole soul and evidently a gizzard
too, for he is dead certain to do you
good if you go to see him.
Mr. Webster, our gentlemanly
postmaster, has caught the fever
and is putting on metropolitan airs
and will soon be in a brand new
poet office, which he is having built
around on bydrageriasubmur street
or something of that kind. We
havn't got names down to a fine
point yet. Not much.

Rev. J. R, Smith, at Marietta,

Fpom the Placers.
Rising almost in the center of
the placer gold district, id Animas
Peak, through which appears '. to
run almost all the gold-bearing
quartz leads of the district. The
mountain is isolated from any oth
er prominent peaks or mountains,
and from it are connected with it
by small gulches, run oil the prin
cipal streams that have produced
the placer gold, which have evi
dently been fed from tha numer
ous quartz ledges in the vicinity.
Mr. R. Woolsey ie nt present at
work upon a group of gold veins
on the southern slope of the peak,
several of which are proving veiy
rich iu the precious mineral.
In this connection I must sp ak
of the numerous c np?r veins in
this district Notably the Copper
King, owned by Mr. Jcnnison, and
situated near the ' head of Gray
back gulch. This mine has now on
the dumps probably 500 tons of
first class ore that will average
from 35 to 50 pei cent copper. The
Copper King is one of tlie largest
deposits of copper ore 1 have ever
seen, and, owing to the ease with
which the ore can be extracted, and
the immense quantity near tha sur
face, is destined to be a valuable
piece of property.
Mr. Jenmson is at present en
gaged iu boring an artesian well
near his residence on Gray back
gulch in older to got a supply of
water for running machinery. The
well is already some fifty or sixty
feet deep.
A prominent, and at the same
time peculiat formation of this
camp is that known Slapjack hill,
composed of a lime cement and
gold-bearing gravel, in several of
which latter heavy, course gold has
been found. The hill is worked
principally by tuuuels and shafts,
a number of which inclose it on all
sides. These tunnels are all run m
on a slight incline, thus giving am
ple evidence that what is now a
round topped mound, was at one
time a basiu, filled iu by the wash
from the higher mountains sur
rounding it. All the little gullies
and depressions running from and
down the sides of Slap Jack hill
havo been worked, aud iu some in
stances have proved very rich.
All over placers can be found a
substance having the appearance
of slacked lime, yet nowhere can bo
found pure limestone. The querry
is, where did this lime tern en t
come from, or did it once compose
the summits of the mountains in
the vicinity and has been decom
posed by the elements and gradu
ally filled up the basis?
Placers, March 24, 1885,
One or two of our high strung
citizens have ornamented their
homes with shade trees and poster
ity with glory by so doing. This
was all done one day the past
week. Hillsboro is quite ahead of
most towns aire a iy in this highly
commendable enterprise, but this
is a work yet that could be very
advantageously done for the town.
We notice those trees transplanted
the past week by Mr. Bui dick aud
Mr. Pratt, at each of their residen
ces, are pine, juniper and cedar.
This is all well enough in its place,
but we think the most thrifty and
attractive shade tree is the cotton
wood. This is mora easily nutured
and matured, gives a larger shade
and leaves out quickly. But this
to every man's own liking, only let
as see the avenues and streets of
the coming city a labyrinth' of
majestic trees of some kind.
Sierra Grande Hotel No. 1, Lake
Valley, has just received a thoro'
renovation and many noticeable at
tractions for the comfort of guests
have been added. Col. Woodall
has went to the expense of putting j
in new furniture for the roms, of
fice and dinning hall, besides furn
ishing the ladies' parlor with new
aud superbly rich carpets, chairs,
tables, etc. The Sieira Grande is
the only two story building m the
town by the lake, and ample room
is afforded the public with downy
heda and sheets of whiteness. The
edibles furnished the tables are not
behind any in the west, and for
convincing proof of this you havo
