Work on the road from the Atlanta, st.
Cloud and Mayhower mines to Chloride
is progressing rapidly. A number of
Mexicans from Canada de Alamosa in
charge of M. R. Lundy will work on
the end nearest the mines, and what
ever volunteer labor may be donated
can be used on the Chloride end. The to-
tai expense of the road will be some
where between one thousand and fif-
teen hundred dollars.
The BLACK RANGE gives the in
formation gratis that when title is OBJ
tanned to the town site of Chloride all
lots upon which there exists no sub
stantial improvements will be apprais-
ed and sold without regard to previous
purchase or supposed ownership. The
man who buys piece of property here
with no improvements upon it throws
away the money paid as he will have
to establish his right to 1T anyhow and
he will lose it if he fails in this. Ac-
cording to competent opinion a stone
foundation a tent or rickety fence
cannot be considered as being perma-
nent improvements although good
substantial fence or Outbulldings may
he so designated.
This country has proven itself in in
Vulnerable cases TO be especially ada
pied to curing consumption. Its alti-
tude(8,OOO feet is perfect,the air is pure
and sweet and the climate is peculiarly
mild and saubrious. But people must
not wait until their lungs are totally
gone ere they come hither. If they
would be cured they must emigrate
while there is yet something to build
upon and to make sure of being in time
The mountains should be sought just so
soon as an indication of lung troubles
become apparent If this is done the
Black range can be trusted as an un-
failing panacea for this dreaded dis
ease.
A few enterprising Americans hav-
ing exploded the established falacy
that potatoes cannot be grown on New
Mexican soil the natives are intending
to embark in this business next year
1t is altogether probable that they will
fail as usual, however, because the
raising of good crop of potatoes here
as elsewhere requires that they be cul'
tivated and this is something that the
native is constitutionally opposed to. A
Mexican seldom surprises corn field
with the use of hoe or cultivator and
the only wonder to foreigner is thai
he ever raises anything. If the land
was not exceedingly fertile he would
not.
Jack Wilson came back from SocorrC
this week. He says that Fowler still
occupies the Jail under strict guard ,ant
nobody appears to know whether hi
will be Kept there the allotted year o
be held elsewhere. 1t is the genera
+ supposition, however, that as long a
his money lasts he will remain in So
zorro. His having to be kept a yea
( at the expense of the county, is non
l. sensical, and warrants indignant pre-
test, and contempt for legal forms.
: Fowler had twenty lives to give the
4 could not do justice to bis case. and a
+ insignificant quibble in the law shoul
not be permitted to lengthen his exist
= ence day. Fowler ought to be hun
at once and thus his case would be fol
d ever settled.
During the past few months M. T
Chamberlin has had nineteen assay
Z made upon the second and third elias
. ore and the waste dump of the Mi(
night mine. The highest ran 1913 oul

l. ed the avarage value of the ninetee

Castle on twenty sacks of this san

It much of a variance. Mr.. Chamberli
Q in common with most of the best pos

If average ores of the mines sample
ID but he is now convinced that thel
If was no deception in regard to the Mi

Engle, lately, runs about 440 OF ounc
