James enter a Icing The only Pure Cream of Tartar Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard Allfsr Tnmoa They Try Lai Cruces. an.t th Jail Kept Them From El Pmo. Something like two weeks ago the people of Tucson suddenly found themselves in possession of a cumber of oounterfoit dimes, quarters, halves and dollars. The Times promptly warned the people of El Paso to be on the lookout for a similar imposition, hupposiDg that the counterfeiters traveled by rail as usual, aud would be here as soon as they worked Tucson, but it seems that the counterfeiters three men and three women were traveling leisurely by team as unsophisticated emigrants.

They hd two wagons and five horses, and when arrested at Las Cruces last Saturday (as mentioned in yesterday's Times), claimed to be from Denver and on their way to El Paso. For several days prior to the arrest, as the Times learns from parties just down from Dona Ana county, New Mexico, counterfeit coin had made its appearanoe in Las Graces, and finally Sheriff Lohman got on the track of the parties and arrested the sit, three men and three women. He also captured with them and their effects a lot of bogus coins, various kinds of Congresiunn Cock re It to Pky El I'nuo Another ridt Neit Week. Immediately after the publication of the news of Congressman CockreiTs letter to Representative Turney saying that he would probably recommend Mr. J.

H. Harper for the appointment of postmaster, Mr. A. B. McKie, one of the applicants, and Mr.

M. Patterson made a pilgrimage to Mr. Cock-rell's home near Abilene These gentlemen saw Judge Cockrell, but they are reported as saying that he refused to declare whom he had determined to endorse for the coveted office. Mr. Patterson is quoted as saying that the congressman did promise, however, to pay a visit next week to El Paso and addresss tie "Democratic" club, and to endorse for the postoffloe whomsoever that club may select by ballot.

In pursuance of that plan the following call has been issued: El Paso, Texas, June 20, 1893, You are notified that a special meeting of the Jefferson Democracio Club will be held on Satuiday, June 21, 1893, at 8 o'clock p.m. Bharp, at the county court house, for the purpose of recommending to Congressman Cock-rell a candidate for postmaster at this place. Regular business will be transacted. By order of executive committee. II.

M. Patterson, Chairman. J. A. Est AJEDA, Secretary.

Before the call had been issued, however, there had been a great hnstllng around among certain of the members who are understood to be "our friends." this puts a nw phase on toe affair, and one that will prove of great interest to the people. In any case, if Judge Cookrell comes to this town to talk Democracy he will have an attentive hearing. It is reported that he will be here about Tuesday.

COPLON PROCESS. An Important Improvement in the Treatment of Rebellious Orel.

M. Calhoun, of Albuquerque, who is interested in the new Ooplon concentrating process, according to the Democrat, has received a letter from his brother, Hugh Calhoun, of Gainesville, Georgia, which describes in detail the first successful test of a new process for extracting the precious metal froja ore. It is known as the Electrochemical process, and the inventors have been experimenting a long time to bring it to do the work claimed for it. It is said to be a decided success, and the right of its use in the state of Georgia has been sold for $100,000. The expert who has just closed this deal, Mr.

N. P. Pratt, put the prooess to the severest testa, it is said, during last month. Refractory gold rock that would not pan a color and would not yield by the ordinary soorifloation prooess, was made to produce $10 per ton. If the rock contains copper and lead with gold and silver the copper and lead are turned into oxides, one at a time, by the use of chemicals and the gold and silver left free for atnalgama tion.

The various metals contained in the rocks are extracted separately. It is claimed the cost of treatment by this prooess will not exceed $2 per ton. ndthe highest possible results are obtained. The inventors think they have at last solved the vexed problem of extracting the precious metals from refractory ores, and it is claimed the severe test just made iu Georgia takes the process out of the category of experiments. Mr.

Calhouu, of Georgia, is interes ed in the patent. Operations by this process will be watched with interest, by the owners of rebellious ore mines everywhere.

Like that put in circulation in Tucson, the counterfeit coins put out in Las Cruces were mostly half dollars dated 1854, but some bogus Bilver dollars, quarters and dimes. A counterfeit $5 gold piece was also found on one of the women.

But perhaps the most important matter captured was a lot of oorre-spendenoe, showing these parties to be in with others in Denver and New York. The captured men and women were taken before the United States court on Monday and he fur the action of the grand jury The oapture is doubtless an important one, as these people, in the guise of poor and innocent emigrants, might have flooded the country with thousands of dollars of boguo money, and the people of El Paso iy thank Sheriff Lobman for saving them from their full share of the lubs that would have ensued. THE OTHER SIDE The Action ff the Manager of the San Anustin Kanch Sustained. Mr. Weber, manager for Ketelsen Degetau, haul to a Times reporter yesterday regarding the SanAguetin publication, that at the ranch of Messrs.

Ketelsen Degetau the laborers are paid as good as on any other ranch Mexico, the best proof of this assertion being that the men are well satisfied, and many of them have lived on the plaoe from ten to fifteen years. Of course, if a fellow expects to get a sinecure at the ranch, he is mistaken. Mr. Schugt, the man ager of the property, has the confidence of the house and has full power to act in all matters. His clootr is the sun, sunrise weaning commencement of the work and sunset the end, aud if a laborer doesn't submit to the rules be has the privilege of leaving the ranch It is only in cases of obstinate persons opposing these rules that th9 ranch regulations in Mexico are applied.

Concerning the statement of the driver who took to the ranch the gentlemen representing the Banco Hipo-tecario of Mexico, being Mess 's. tSerna and Eliae, Mr. Weber says it is pronounced absolutely false by these gentlemen, who expressed themselves highly pleased with Mr. Sohugt's action, as it was only by his interference and exercise of his authority thac prevented the driver from leaving at the ranch (be gentlemen named, notwithstanding that hd had been hired to take them San Agustin and back to El Paso. Hull.

The El Paso Browns will have their hands full next Saturday, Sunday and Monday, as the Corsioana team will be here with a strong battery and will tackle them at 1 o'clock in the afternoon of each of the aays named. The Oorsicanas have with them Emmet Rodgere, who was the catcher engaged by the Browns in 1337 to assist in downing the Chioagos; Gus Shearer, who was first base with the Browns in 1891; Miokey Doo Fiynn, the champion short stop of the Texas league in 1388, and Weichart, the famous pitcher Rodgers nd Flynn. were sold to the Toledo (Ohio) team for the season of 1889 for and tave a national reputation. The Browns are now in daily practice, as they realize, sinoe hearing that the above named players were with the Corsicana team, that they will have to "play ball" in real earueot and with all their skill in order to avoid defeat tn their first contest. Hatupnoii'n According to City of Mex co Two Republics of Isst Saturday, construe t.ion of the Mexico, Cuernavaea and Paoillo railway is proceeding rapidly, and Cuernavaea will be reached by January next The length of the road from Mexico to Cuarnavac City will be from 110 to 120 kilometers, acooid lng to location; kilometers will take the road to the highest point it will reach-: T.014 feet above the City of Mexico.

Then the deso-nt to Cuerna-vaoa, the altitude of which i much lower than that of the City of Mexico, will begin. The instructions to the locating engineers are to the effect that in no case must the grade exceed 2' per cent. Attention Urcineii. There will be a meeting of the entire Sawing Infinitesimal Corpuscles Into Cart Wheels. Dr.

Walter N. Vilas of this oity, who is an experienced and accomplished miorosc pist, and supports a instrument with which to experiment, was one of the experts called in at the trial of young McGinnis for the murder of the old Chinaman at Ysleta. He said that a corpuscle of human blood could readily be distinguished by opti oal measurement from that of other mammalian blood, even though the difference in diameter be but two thirty- econd one-hundredths ot an inch, and explained the exact dimensions of a corpuscle of human blood by stating that it could be duplicated in size by taking one inch in length of the finest fiber imaginable, cutting this inoh into 100 pieces, and then cutting one of these 1 ICOths of an inch into 32 that one of these smaller pieces would be the same size as a corpuscle of human blood. But under the magnifying consciences of some of the jurors who sat on the McGinnis case, the finest fibres conceived by Dr. Vilas were pyramids, and a single corpuscle sawed into slabs would make block wheels for a whole tram of old fashioned Mexican carts.

Thty split hairs over whether the Chinaman was chocked to death where he was met and downed in the road, or was taken alive to where his body was concealed and then had his brain chopped into with the hatchet. To relieve trial jurors of such delicate work, the grand jury at its session yesterday again indicted MoGinnis for murder this time taking the ground taat the Chinaman, who was old and feeble, was choked to death on the road, paoktd to the verge of the deep wash where the body was to be concealed, and was then brained with the hatchet through fear that he might revive. Why it I so Frail. It is currently reported and generally believed that the owner of the oity hall building, after the plans and specifications were made out by a competent architect for a safe ud substantial structure at a cost of $15,000, insisted on cutting the cost down to In order to do this the cut had to be made chiefly in the matter of labor and material in the walls, and henoe their frailty. It is also said that the cut was made against the protest of both the architect and contractors or builders, and the contractor for -the wood work, roof, is credited with 6aying he feared the walls would tumble down while he was putting on the heavy trusses.

Excursion to Silver City, All who wish to avail themselves of the one fare for the round trip to Silver City on the Fourth of July either as delegates or with the view of enjoying a pleasant visit, are requested to leave th ir names with Kohlberg Bros upon El Paso street, with J. li.
