Mr.. Beccher finds fine asic

Mr.. Beecher finds time aside
from politics to say : ''No advance
of scientific thought will ever set
aside reyiyals Of religion, which
are currents into which men can
go and be borne on TO something
noblcr and better. Anything is
better than apathelic unbelief. 1
believe from the bottom of my
soul in reyiyals Of religion. 1t is
said that we are coming into a
scientific period which will take the
place Of religion, but | think that
there never was a time when the
churches were IN a more hopeful
state than they are to-day, and |
don't think that true religion is in
any danger.

The Lone STIR very pertinontly
inquiries: "What has become OF
the Fl Paso and White Oaks rail
road enterprise Can this city If
ford to let that sleep or die out
There has not been a scheme start
cd that ifprosccutcd would SO much
advance the material interests of
this city as that one would; and
yet it is allowed to lie passive,
while the business and wealth that
would flow into Fl Paso from that
source are seeking other channels,
That the road will be ultimately
built there is no question, but the
sooner it is done the sooner our
city will reap the benefits"
We are glad to note the fact that
other companies are looking up
our immense mineral and coal de-
ports with a view Of extending
their lines, already headed this
way, and making White Oaks an
objective point. The road that
has the energy and vim to reach
here first will undoubtedly get the
cream of the business, for it will
strike at a time when our citizens
and mine owners will feel disposed
TO be extremely liberal, and if the

rRroRTANT TO LAND OWNERS.

Correspondence Leader:
The rapid development Of the
grazing interests in New Mexico
and particularly in Lincoln county,
makes it the duty Of our Lcgisla-
turc to give grave consideration to
the laws regulating the herding Of
stock and the fencing Of agricultur-
al lands. lis a safe assertion chat
in tni county not onc-nincioth ofthe
land is or can be made susceptible
Of agricultural uses. Our vast
prarics a be utilized for grazing
purposes only. The herd laws re-
quire thc cattle interests to employ
herdcrs from March till the last
day Of October, at a large expense.
Should any injury occur to grow
ing crops or orchards through acct
dent or otherwise, from trcsspass
by stock, the damages are either
assessed against the cattle owner,
arbitration ora vcXatious law suit
is the result frequently costing
both farmer and cattle owner more
in lawyers fees and court expenses
than the original damages amount
ed to. Again, through the absence
of fence laws to protect growing
crops, the farmer does not fence,
and if he keeps q few head Of stock
for his own use or for dairy pur-
poses, he is obliged to employ
some one to protect his own stock,
This Of itself is a heavy tax upon
the farmer. There is scarcely q
farmer in the country who, did he
fence his arabic land, but who
could have a herd Of from 80 TO
900 cattle grazing Immediately
around his ranch, and without the
constant care of a herdcr.
But it would impose a serious
burden upon the farmer to require
him to fence at once. Let the Leg
islature enact a suitable fence law,
giving the agriculturist three years
from the passage thereof to enclose
his areablc land BY a propcrfence-
and with tho requirement that all
parties taking up and settling
farming lands should put the same
under fence within three years
from the date Of such settlement.

The certificate of election will be
given to the Hon. Tranquilina
Luna, whose present term does not
expire until the 4th of March next.
If there is a contest made it cannot
come up before one year from
December next, and probably will
not be decided before the early
part Of 1854. Our friendly sugges-
tions to Mr.. Manzanares would be
that he compose his soul III pa

rations run away with his business.

made employ a mine examiner of

WHERE TO PUT YOUR MONEY.

To our eastern friends who have
money that they want to invest in
some profitable enterprise, we
would say in all candor, the mines
of Colorado, New Mexico or idaho
furnish rare opportunities for
money making investments. We
do not which to be understood as
advising a reckless expenditure of
money, or q careless investment in
the first mining scheme presented,
nor can we conscientiously advise
the purchase Of the average mining
stock. If you have a few thousand
dollars to spare and your neighbors
have some money laid aside, form
a company and write to some per-
% who is acquainted with mines
and mining to select a property
for Won. When the selection is

Editor Leader:
Prospects here are daily becom-
ing brighter, and the camp might
now be said to be on the track
which "leads on to fortune" The
boys arc busy with their assess
mcnts, and several important dis
coyerics have been made during
the last week. While no body of
ore equal to that of the Tendorfoot
lode has boon shown up, sufficient
evidence is abundant that at no dis
tant date, several claims will equal,
if not surpass, anything that has
yet been seen here.
Weunderstand that the Missouri
Company commence next week to
perform some work on several of
these claims. which have been rest
ing quietly these eighteen months,
with nine blazed trees and scarcely
sufficient done to show that they
are located according to law, with
mineral in place.
Operations on the Tendorfoot
are still suspended, but there is q
likelihood in the near future, Of
work being proceeded with, on this
rich claim, on a gigantic scale.
MI. j. w. Thomson, Red Cloud
p. o., made a happy strike in the
Legal Tender about ten days ago
uncoyering a fine body of ore ar
rying galena and copper, at the
depth Of Is feet, and receives the
congratulations of his numerous
friends, for this well deserved re-
ward.
Tho Brewster Bros, in company
with John McMurchio are most en-
ergetically pursuing their work Of
prospecting and are in possession
of some Of the best claims in the
mountains. The have sunk over
II feet on the Ben Harrison, May
Flower and Monarch lodes and 10
feet on the Anchor, on which they
intend sinking 100 feet.
j. B. Uolton owns several prom
Using prospects, his Southern Belle
only requiring muscle and energy
to showup a bonanza. Jesse is
quite an expert with the hlow-pipe
and obligingly assists the boys in
testing their ores.
Gorton and Kelsey recently
worked an assessment ON the St.
Clair, which shows up well in cop
per ore.
Day, Nourse and Niven have
been steadily at work for the last
three months besides discovering
two good springs, on which they
sank over 30 feet. Ihoy are in
possession Of some most excellent
claims and have 12-foot shafts on
the Black Hawk, Gallinas and
Phoenix lodes, this latter is an iron
, vein, running well in copper, sill
yer and gold, and is II feet in
width. They have been recently
engaged developing their Pocohon-
tas lode, in company with Gorton
2 and Kelsey, which shows an inn
mcnsc body Of quartz, showing
copper and carbonatcs Of silver.
Tho Vulcan is a good claim
owned by McGinnis and league,
the ore bearing a remarkable SINH
larity to the rich specimens we
have seen from Lake Valleyr
White and Bashaw have erected
a steam saw mill which is now in
successful operation. These gen.
tlcmen show their great faith in
the future of the camp by then
