Some cattle were driven up from

upon them for damaging crops. Judge

the injured parties admonishing them

Contrary TO expectation this season
is proving TO be dryer than its twoIm-
mediate predecessors which were by
no means wet. When any water does
reach the earth it appears to strike in
spots. For instance, last week a food
came down South Fork which came
out of the hills several feet deep and
run the whole length of the gulch a
good strong stream, and in Poverty
creek the water is now running down
to Robinson. In me places the grass
is growing nicely and in others 1t shows
no signs of starting.
WI. Worden reports that the late
high water of the Rio Grande cut a
new channel at hls place fifteen miles
below Las Palomas and cut his mead
ow land off from his residence leaving
him on the east side of the river along
with the rugged hills aud with no high.
way for communication with the out
side world. BY he unforeseen circum-
stance he will be compelled to put up
new buildings on the opposite side of
the stream or be subject always to
great inconvenience.
The hOlsting machinery for the Silver
Monument mine has been lying at
Eugle for some little time. but ow-
ing to the hight of the river food no
attempt has been made to get it out
here. In a day, or two however, John
Mcbride goes to the railroad to super
intend loading the machinery IN the
wagons and getting the wagons across
the river. The machinery has strength
and power sufficient to do the work re-

will when in place greatly facilitate the
working of the mine.
