Gent value to maintain prosperous com

ocations are being filed indicates that

Hawk and the adjoining claim, the Small

improving steadily.
The Lincoln, Lucky consolidated is get

neer is to have general supervision of the

Says an Albuquerque paper; O. w,
Strong has returned from San Pedro,
where he bought property and where he
will open q branch store. The first of
the coming week he will ship the stock
to be used in the store there. Mr.. Strong
made two trips to San Pedro inside of 4
week. He found in that time lots which
have been offered at $50 had advanced to
800, and lots held at 500 and $50
could be had at nothing less than
$500. He says that enough lots have
been sold to make a town nearly as large
as Albuquerque were they all built upon.
