t1nse -.z- n.>1s@4A Int LID in a very short time. Mir. Faux in-ss Storms your correspondent that they hope. ] to have 1t running in three or four weeks, stime: the stock company that owns thei 4smelter have invited Col. Pickett Ot; sWater Canon, New Mexico, to takef arharge of it when completed; if he de-i 1clines they expect to get gentlemanl ;ffro.n Saa Francisco to run 1t for them. | INIT. Williams, formerly of Tucson, lst 3superintending its erection. If thifI issmelter proves a success, as 1t undouOt-t Hedly will as there is a great deal of Orel Ehere that has already been taken out oft -ithe mines and has been waiting some stiIne for a smelter to be put up, secOndl 3furnace will be added to the one theyA salready have. T At present every house in Shakespeare fis occupied and if several more wereF sbuilt they could be let out to good ad-E tyautage. Realizing this fact, Messrs Z sR. P. and W. T. Hart are putting mp twOk scood adobe houses for renting, on thei anortheastern end of Boyle avenue Ons 5Main street. Nearly opposite the Harts 2 .snew houses W. J. Crosby, the pOpulark Superintendent of the Good Hope Com-s
 spany, and who is by the way cleyers Enewspaper correspondent, intends toputs ssup a dwelling house for himself.
 si Smythe S Carroll, the well-knOwnS 5merchants of this place, have bullt ans seleCant new store room into winch they5 Bare moving their goods at present. It lss @much larger than their old store and lss s3probably the finest building m Shake-s
 speare. It is very handsomely tinlshedS ssinside, the floor being made of CdllfOr-s Snia redwood and the walls and celilngt Fare white pine and red wood m alternates Sipieces, about two or three inches wlde,a -rthe whole producing very good eifect;5 "a very pleasant office has been p2rti-i
 ltioned off in the end of the store and wllll ssbe also used as a pOstOffce. larges scelldr has been made under the store fort
 }the purpose of storing the goods and ist
 salready filed with goods of every de
 ,scription needed in mining town. Dl-i slrectly opposite the new store Mr. ROcksy. .is building saloon which he intends tOs
 make the largest and most popular Ones sin town. Everything Is to toe fitted up,
 in the most approved style inside ands
 sonly the best of liquors and wines are to' lbe kept.
 T The popular Stratford hotel, kept byl 5sMr Woods. has just had an addltlOni 5sbuilt in the rear as their business IS get-i stting to be 80 large that 1t can hardly ac-
 'commodate all the guests who would, } .like to stop there. g MT. Thomas l.. Smith, of the firm ois
 Ross x Smith. says that he Is doing more;
 business at present than ever before and.
 that the only trouble Is that he cannot, keep sufficient supply of goods on hand' and as soon as he gets in a stock Tn any
 article he can sell it all out before an--
 other shipment has time to come ln.
 . A surveyor has just located in town,
 NIT. C. E. Field, of Bound Rock, Nevl 5Jersey, a graduate of the Columbia. < School of Mines. 7 For a mining town, Shakespeare has.
 iprobably one of the most peaceable and. . best behaved communities to be fOundi
 lin the United States, but like all other. border towns it Is occasionally vlslte q. Sby rustlers and other desperadOes who
 disturb the peace and endanger the lives. ; of it's inhabitants. As they have hither-' .to had no way of punishing such offend. !. .ers and preserving the peace, the peoples
 Shave decided to get a constable and build jail. The necessary amount Ot5 2 money has already been raised and al i 5rOod substantial building wlll be put up < as soon as men can be found to do it.
 1.-The jail will cost S375 1t Is estimated. It.
 will be built of stone, joined by mortar,
 'and not with mud as is usually doue eihere. and inside it will be lined.
 ,by strong three-inch timber, SD that es-
 cape from 1t will be almost an impOsi-. .ibility. n For constable we are trying to gets .sTucker, an experienced man and one: siwho has often proved his bravery, who.
 would probably be as good a man as wei
 could find in the country for that posi- .ttion. < Mir. John Price, who is well knowns .tthroughout this Territory, as pleasant. 2 5,and honorable man, has been m Shake s-speare during the past few weeks look: ssing after the interests of his mines. His. s5mOst valuable property IS the Little:
 sNlaud, situated about five miles from, shere at LeitendOrfs; it Is an extension of. ; 1.-the Viola mine. Fl The many friends of MT. R. C. Brown, .sOf the CITIZEN, were delighted to see. .ahim in Shakespeare last Wednesday and. 35were heartily sorry to have him leave us. tias soon as be did. l am glad to note. s.that the enterprise and splcyness of the. ECITIzEN are fully appreciated in Shakes
 ipeare, and that your valuable paper ls'
 .probably more read here than any other' f western paper.
 3 NIT. J. F. Long is building a store ati
 rLordsburg NIT. Long Is very energetic: land is q good business man, and we wlshI
 ihim every. success. \ few years ago he'
 sstarted a store in Shakespeare tOgetherl
 zwith MT. O. R. Smyth, but afterwards.
 fsold out his share to Mr. Carroll. Hel
 made a success here, and has every rea- 5sson to expect to do the same in Lords-i
 sburg. s} Before I close this letter I will say a:
 .fcw words about the future of Shakes-i
 apeare Situated as 1t is in a delightfuli -Elocation. only one mile and hah from.
 ithe station of LordsbuTg, on the SOuth-
 sern Pacific Railroad, in the center of one,
 iof the richest mining regions m the.
 United States, with as fine climate as' 3could be found in any place in the wdrld,l swith energetic business men to push its.
 Interests, there Is every reason to sup; Expose that 1t will ultimately become onel ifO the largest mining towns m America. lSTO show its richness in ore l will menJ s,tiOn the fact, that the foreman of the' sSLast Chance mine, who has over twenty svedrs' experience in mining matters, S!savs that the ore on his dump, which. ieamOunts to about 2BO tons, will average. fSl25 a ton, and the first quality will sSprobably run between SlOO and Sj0O toi hthe ton. The ore from the Atwood mine twill average S75 to SlOO per ton. The
 F Superior mine, which IS prohaly the best known in this district, and IS the onlyi
 5patented mine near Shakespeare, does
 snot contain quite such rich ore as thei ! iAtwood or Last Chance, but seems toi 7 7contain an almost unlimited amount of sSgood smelting ore.
