The Santa Fe railroad company seems
to be the greatest reformatory institu-
ton of the age. Having tried its hand
upon our frail and frisky neighbors of
Dodge City with marked effect it is now
turning its attention to the preservation
of public morals in New Mexico. The
company seems to have the dead wood
upon the people of Wallace who house
the festive bunco boys. The company
has declined to supply such citizens
with coal at any price, and threatens to
90 further and shut off their water sup
ply. The people have all along been
supplied with water from the company's
hydrant free of cost. It is brought
from the Santa Fe river in pipes, dis
lance of seven miles. Kinsley Mercu-

Mr.. Price was insured during the
year of 1883 in other cooperative insur-
ance associations. but as he paid assess
ments for part of the year only they
are not included in the foregoing list.
1t will be observed that for an insur-
ance of $20.440 Mr.. Price paid for the
year 1883 1921. 10, or only fraction
over $11 on each 81, 600 Of insurance,
which is certainly remarkable cheap for
one of Mr.. Prices age-54 years. For
q younger man it would have cost him
even less in some of these associations,
as the assessments are graded accord
ing to age. The same amount of insur-
ance in the old line or regular insur-
ance companies, on the life plan, would
have cost Mr.. Price, at his age, for one
year, about 81, 20O-or more than five
times as much as on the cooperative
plan.

Advertise by the year, said an old ex-

and yields better return in proportion
to the money invested. An advertise

is soon forgotten, those that remain
have the superiority and advantage Of
the competitor. There is only one ex-
cuse for the discrimination Of an ad-

There will be town meeting at Tay-

ing errors made III lot fling according
to the defective plats III use in Ketchum.
All citizens interested in property west
of Main street are requested to be pres
ent with the number of their lots and
block. The error in several plats of
ketchum, from which filings have been
made through Justice Hodson was dis
covered several weeks ago by eompari-
son with original copies in the land Of
fee, and it was found plats drawn up in
duplicate here three years ago by Judge
Miller were numbered wrong in all the
blocks west of Main street. The error
is simple one, being simply in case of
the fifth lot in each block, which was
numbered IS" and vice versa. Parties
having located upon these lots may have
this slight error in numbers rectifed by
giving the number of lots upon which
they filed and changing them to the
correct numbers existing upon the true
copies. This correction will go through
the HALEY land office and on to Wash

At o'clock last evening doctors Hill
and Estes were summoned to Murdoeks

der station, where Harry Murdoch, a
well known Wood Riverite, had met
with severe accident in the afternoon.
He had been prospecting and was about
to return home, when walking ON the
edge of q snow cliff he slipped and fell q
distance of fourteen feet, alighting on
his shoulder, and sustaining a severe
dislocation of the same. lie lay there
alone three or four hours, until found by
his comrades, when he was carried to
camp. The doctors relocated the in
iured part and returned to Ketchum at
8 o'clock this morning.

Thos. Tague & Co., who have en-
ployed three teams all winter between

further hauling there until the roads
dry up. This will require about ten
days. In the mean time the mill will
continue to run steadily on ore deliver

Columbia q Beaver.

Vice President Vernum OF the Column
bia & Beaver Mining and Milling Co., at
Sawtooth, returned from New York city
on Tuesday evening and went forward
to the Sawtooth yesterday.
The Columbia & Beaver Cos interests
in Beaver gulch will be opened as soon
as practicable and the 20-stamp mill,
Teaching process, already shown by Mr..
Vernum to be most successfully adapted
to the ores of that district will be put
in operation. TO this end Mr.. Vernum,
who acts as general manager of the c.
& b., will lose no time III opening up
the Sawtooth grade to heavy transpor-
tation, and to this purpose he will i'm
mediately employ force of teams and
laborers. 1t is gratifying to see SO inn
portant an enterprise, so long neglected
by the heavy operators of the upper
country, finally begun And it is very
evident, that such interest and activity
displayed by Mr.. Vernum Immediately
upon his return to the scene OF action is
amirable. 1t of course will be
said that the Sawtooth grade is the pro-
perty of the Columbia & Beaver Co., but
it may as easily be answered that here
tofore for month requiring only the
expenditure of 5000 or $500 to be cleared
it has been free from toll, but subjected

There is seldom anything overdone or

often very soon, disclose some sign Of

meets fate. Of the three newspapers

Nugget, and the Pioneer, the foremost
alone still lives. The short life of the
Pioneer terminated in migration to
Marysvillet and the Nugget consolidated

as soon as he got across the Rocky
Mountains he found very high waters all

in great danger in many places. The
Atlanta Mining Company are going to
build new dry crushing 15-stamp mill,
similar to the Vienna mill. with power
and room for an extra battery OF five
stamps. The old mill viii be torn down
and the new one built on the old mil
site. He will commence work as soon az
the roads will admit of transportation.
Development work on the Atlanta
mine has been going on all winter, and
will continue until the new mill is fin
