Az important decision was recently
m ade in the e. S. District Court in Phila-
delphia, in regard to the use of decoy let
tiers sent through the mails A detective
operating for district attorney. had sent
certain letters intending to entrap certain
persons guilty Of illegal practices. The
letters were, on their face. in violation oi
the Law, and the detective was charged
with the offense and tried The
district attorney pleaded that while tech
nically guilty the intent " good and not
evil. The court decided that this plea
did not excuse the offense, and the detect
i've was convicted, though the punishment
was made light. The ruling Of the court
was as follows;
Il know that il is the practice of officers
TO obtain evidence by means of deception.
Whether il is lawful / am not called upon
10 decide, but / will say do not think IL
Is in accord with good morals That the
United States mail should be made the
vehicle for obtaining this money, property
or other evidence is, however, unlawful.
II Is as clearly fraud as if intended to
obtain anything for private gain and the
Act of Congress in question has been as
mn ch violated as it would have been in a
private case
This ruling will materially effect one oi
the methods used by the police-that OF
sending decoy lctters-for if they in any
manner trv by fraud TO obtain anything
which can be used against prisoner as
evidence they are responsible under the
oct of Congress making it crime to de-
fraud or attempt to defraud by means OF
the United States mail.

THE BEALES GRANT.

In his opinion on the so-called Beales
land grant, under which company of
Kansas City and Texas capitalists sought
to claim all the lands described in New
Mexico east of the Rio Grande, and part
of Texas and Colorado, Judge Brewe laid
down the law very positively that the per-
Torrance of conditions stipulated in tie
grant must be complied with before title
can pass. In his opinion in favor Of the
Maxwell land grant and against the
Beales grant. the Judge says:
'"The law makes plain the meaning OF
the contract and shows that it was not
conveyance passing title. In other words
the grant must be presumed to have
been made in pursuance of the law and
to be limited by the terms of the law,
Indeed, it is doubtful whether grant
made in excess of the authority given by
the law woud he valid. This grant in
terms refers to the law under which it
vas made and shows that it was made
IN pursuance of the authority conferred

ernment Will select tract of land upon
which the impresario may establish a

Concerning the much talked about
railroad to be constructed from Fort
Worth to Albuquerque, George Lail, Of
Albuquerque, tells the Las Vegas Optic:
"It's all bosh, the talk about building
that road. In the first place, it has never
ever been surveyed; in the second place,
they haven't got any money to bui.d it
with in the third place, there are no in
ducements whatever, to build such
road as there is no timber, no mineral,
no coal, no nothing except some sage
brush, cactus and horned frogs" George
spoke these words with the emphasis that
comes only ON deep convictions.

Messrs. Maurice Raunheim, Richard
Giblin and others, came in from San Pedro
this morning and bring gladstone Christ,
mas greeting concerning the material well
fare of south Santa Fe county. They
state that the improvements on the prop
erty OF the Santa Fe Copper company
have now been finished, and that within
the present week operations will be re-
sumed on largely improved scale
The great 1ngersol steam drills,
air compressors, cable tramway and new
LOO ton smelter have been put i'll place,
and all work'like perfection. The mines
never presented so large body of ores as
at this time, and the resumption OF bust
ness will open under the most favorable
auspices. By this day week the
company will have between 4JO
and 500 men on its pay roll
and San Pedro will have assumed that
lie which was prevalent there when the
shut down for the Improvements took
place. three months ago. Of course the
merchants and citizens of San Pedro are
de lighted over all this, and they look for
