An early 1900s Hillsborough weekly item discusses mining veins in the Hillsborough district, plans for Chloride road and Kingston Shaft, copper and lead market notes, railroad projections to Pinos Altos, and political jostling over national finances. It salutes local press exchanges and predicts population growth and local prosperity. It also notes Queen Victoria's new title and local ore descriptions.
The Mickado drift reaches 360 feet while ore runs strong in the Dell mine and Jaun Rochon develops ore on his claim next to Aroya Rice in Grayback Gulch. In the Apex suit, counsel Calamity Illinois uses a lithographed Kingston district map, boosting the plaintiffs. A Mexican prospector reports a nugget near Calamity Bar, and many old workings along Snake Gulch hint at historic riches. The Socorro Tunnel Co plans a stamp mill near Socorro, with 2,500 feet of tunnels and potential output of 100 tons per day, promising dividends as J B Mills leads operations.
Neighborhood News from the Advertiser reports the Smelter likely to emit another stack Monday. Local figures include Gon of Washington fame, Miss Lala Leeson visiting Texas and planned travels, Mrs. Mary Kirk facing an indictment, water piping progress to improve domestic supply, and school of mining governance issues. Observations on Chloride road efforts, Cantwell trail defense, and entertainments at Ambler's opera house add to a busy regional ledger.
Louis Marshal, an employee at Separ, boarded a passenger train to buy fruit. He alighted as it started and fell, his foot caught under a wheel, crushing his leg to the knee. The train halted, he was taken to Lordsburg, Dr Sinpyon gave opiates to ease shock, and Marshall refused amputation the next morning, then was sent by train to the county hospital.
The article rejects any claim that polites were involved in the removal of Nebraska Governor Boyd. It asserts no connection and emphasizes that the blame lies elsewhere or remains unproven, clarifying the political narrative surrounding the event.
