The Silver City New Mexico) Herald
OF June 18th says: chihuahua is at
present in a state OF revolution. On the
nights OF the 1st and I'd OF June the Pro-
nunciados captured the city of Chihua-
bus, arrested the Governor, Oohoa, and
other high officials, and took possession
of the Government, which they still
keep. They got about 800 900 from the
Mint, and about a. much more from the
State Treasury. How affairs will turn
out nobody knows; business in conse-
auence is very dull. All communication
with the interior is cut of. only the
stage to Ell Paso is still running.
In relation to the recent escape OF the
prisoners. the Salt Lake Tribune rises to
explain, and says the place called peni-
Tertiary, was stolen by Mormon elder
named lockwood, the same who fed bis
prisoners on Strawberries and cream.
This pious elder of thieving procivities,
left O hole in the ground, which he has
ever since been trying to steal. and the
other dav no told the boys there were
lots of straw berries rotting on the ground
outside, and if they would only step out
they could just gorge themselves. They
did 80, and are still looking for the ber-
ries.

dreary landscape. truthful to the sage
brush region, is subordinated to the fig
ure composition. which is skillfully ar
ranged. and conveys all the spirit of the
event with. charming force. The Motif

by thousands who have participated in 1
ledge discovery and are eager to MAKE
valid their claim.
Major Ford, Secretary of the Ophil
Mining Company, who has just returned
from the East, is good deal disgustei
with Nevada's part in the great Exhibi
ton. He says it took him one whole day
to tind the Nevada quartz mill, and b,
would not then have found it had he no
encountered Nevada man who ha,
spent two days in looking for the mil
and who by some chance had at las
found it. The mill is little shanty out
side the Machinery Building. and is 10
Gated just where no one would think o
looking for it. When the mill was finall,
discovered it was not running. Two mel
were lying off there who said they woul
start up ct O'Clock in the afternoon
This is after most OF the visitors hav
left the grounds. At the time OF MI
Ford's visit there was some water in tn
pane and little amalgam was seen in
pot. He says they have crushed about
dozen sacks OF ore and the rest is stacke
up in the mill. There was no one abou
the place to explain anything. He ais
found the building that is being erecte
for California and Nevada. The interio
was wholly unfinished and was file
with scaffolds and trestles. A man /
attendance told him that he might reRi.
ter his name, in order that it might b
seen by persons from Nevada and Cal
fornia. Mr.. Ford asked where he shoul
register. and was facetiously told that b
might write his name on the side OF Ii
building Nevada's collection of mil
erals is poorly displayed in Cover
ment building. where no one would thin
of looking for it. The Major was di
J gusted with the whole business, so far
, Nevada and California are concerned.
