Imagine, if you can, a frozen fog
driven with the velocity of hurrl
cane. The air so full of minute frozen
particles which strike your face like
pin heads fired from musket that You
cannot see twenty feet ahead, and all
this in an atmosphere from 20 to 81
deps. below zero, and you can then
form as clear an idea of a biiZZarI IA
You'll ever care to get. It's hlinding,
bewildering effect is first felt. The III,
tense cold brings at first the pain o'
freezing, then numbness, then sstupor,
then sense Of blissful sleep and close
upon its heels-death.

Too LATE.-Yet what was the COM
plant against the man with one tai
eut? Slothfulness, Why were the
foolish virgins shut out? For want of
taking trouble. What was wrong
with Dives? Simply neglect OF the
beggar at his gate. What was the
fault of those who were inyited to
the marriage supper? "They all with
one accord began to make excuses"
What is one of the most glaring faults
of a young man entering upon career
in tile world? Slothfulness, unwill-
ingness to take trouble. A man with
such fault loses place after place.
He does not get on, and everybody
says it served him right. Truly 1.-The
children of this world are wiser in
their generation than the children OF
light.5 The moral is obvious. 1t is
summed up in the inevitable, relent-
less "too late. Church RECORD.

SEVEN WAYS OF GIvING.-1. The
careless way: TO give something TO
every cause that is presented, without
Iinquirng into its merits.
.. The impulsive way: To give
from impulse-as much and as often as
love ami pity and sensiollity prompt.
3. The lazy way: TO make spec
ial offer to earn money for benevolent
objects by fairs, festivals, etc.
i. The self-denying way: TO save
the cost of luXuries and apply them to
purposes of religion and charity.
This may lead to asceticism and self
complacence.
5. The systematic way: TO lay
aside as an offering to God definite
portion of our gains-one-tenth, one
fifth, one-third or one-half. This is
adapted to all, whether rich or poor
and gifts would be largely increased if
it were generally practiced. ,
6. The equal way: TO give to God
and the needy just as much as we
spend on ourselves, balancing our per-
sonal expenditures by our gifts.
I. The heroic way: TO limit our
own expenditures to certain sum and
give away the rest of our income.
This was John Wesley's way.

A REMEDY THAT DOES NOT CURE.
of late years Jonathan has been ex-
ercised in building school-houses and
giving education to his children at 9th.
er peoples expense. Of all the bless
ings, SAYS Jonathan, nothing like free
education. The statistics of crime in
New York City were made public the
other day; 5000 arrests during the
past year, and only 4,337 set down as
''without education" New York
criminals are educated fellows. There
is an education that may improve NOR
als, and that is moral education; but
even this is not certain cure. Moth
ing can improve morals but the gospel
of Christ, and that not as law, but as
grace, because it gives men pardon for
the past and help to do better in the
future. The cultured ladies and gen.
tlemen are those seeking divorces and
getting mixed up in Grim. con. suits.
Jonathan needs the gospel as well as
schOol-houscs.

OUR BUSINESS MEN.

w. ii. Weed, known all over
Lincoln County as one of our most
successful merchants, during the
past year largely increased his bus
mess, and now has, in addition to
his house here, Il branch store in
San Pedro, as also one at Cerrillos,
Santa Fe County. MIR. Weed is
an energetic man and as full OF
confidence in the future OF White
Oaks and Lincoln County as he
was the first daY he started into
business at this point. We took
the liberty of asking him how the
business of ..last year compared
with his previous experience in

JicariIIa Mining District.

During the past year extensive
work WAS done towards developing
the many rich prospects owned by
our townsmen and the Jicarilla
Nj. M. & w. Co., controlled by a
wealthy syndicate composed of
New Mexico and Chicago capital
lists. This Company is under the
able and energetic management of
Geo. II. Miles, Esq, formerly of
Las Vegas.
Nearly all the work so far out
side of the regular mining devel-
opment, has been expended IN ef-
forts to secure water, the only
drawback to this wonderfully rich
mineral adjunct to the town Of
White Oaks, but for want of pro-
per machinery, which, however,
was finally purchased at heavy ex-
pcnse and put into operation in the
early part Of December, no wa
ter in sufficient quantity for min
ing purposes was secured. The
machinery, consisting Of heavy
engine and 8 inch drill, is now do
ing good work under the manage
mcnt of experienced mechanics,
and there is no doubt but what
water will soon be reached. In
addition to boring for water, Mr..
Miles has erected on another por-
ton of their grounds heavy
whim, and is drilling through an
iron Gaping, which undoubtedly,
as experience has proven IN every
other mining camp, overlays de-
posts of carbonate ores. Other
miners have long desired to do this
very thing in the Jicarillas, but
for want of capital have been una
bic to do so. All are deeply in
tcrestcd in Mr.. Miles experiment
and none will congratulate him
more sincerely than the LEADER
should his theory Of underlying
carbonates prove correct, and we
believe it will.
In addition to the work above
mentioned, N1cssers Geo. b. Bar
Der and q. Moulton's mine, The
Phantom, continues to reveal, as
work progresses, one of the rich
est deposirs of gold ore ever dis
covered in New Mexico.

White Oaks in the future of our
town was never more forcibly il
lustratedr since it's settlement in
the fall of 1879, than it has been
during the past year. Steady I'M
provcment has been the order of
the day despite hard times and the
disappointment incidental to the
failure of Locke & Co., in build
ing the White Oaks & El Paso Il.
II. Many more brick and stone
buildings, for business and resi-
dence purposes, would have been
erected, but on the whole our
growth has been more Of steady
and permanent character, indica-
tive, on the part of the builders,
the 81 mean to stay" idea that so
forcibly impresses itself on the
mind of the stranger who visits
our town. For intelligence, and
as a moral and law abiding people
we challenge comparison with any
of the older communities of the
Eastern States.
During the past year the M. E.
Church. South, built handsome
cdobe church on Jicarilla ST., and
the Congregational Society have a
beautiful stone building on Liv-
ingstone Street nearly completed.
This chulc ch, when completed, will
be a credit to the Society, SO we'll
as an ornament to White Oaks. -
No town, of the same population,
offers better facilities for the edu-
cation of our children. We have
large public school, with ample
funds to successfully carryl it
on; also, an Academy, established
under the auspices Of the New
West Educational Association.
Miss Abby +. Hull, an accom-
plished gentlcwoman from Massa-
chusetts, has charge Of the Aca-
DENY, and during her short So
iourn with us has won golden O.
pinions from both parents I'd pu-
pills for her efficiency as a high
grade teacher.

During the past year our mines,
especially the North and South
Homestakcs. have continued to
Weld steady output of rich ores.
The mill Of the North Homestake
has been in constant opuration un-
der the able management OF >. X.
Blonger, and has not stopped a day
during the twelve months except
for the usual "clean ups and re-
pairs. Mr.. +. w Parker has
cbarne of the South Homestake,
and is sanguine that the coming
wear. from developments made dul-
ring the past, will bring the mine
M into the front rank as II gold
nroducer. The Little Mac, Old
Abe, Henry Clay, and many 9th
ers that we might mention, give
large promise Of yielding rich re-
turns to their fortunate owners. -
The San Pedro boom last summer,
carried off a number OF our miners
and floating population, but lately
many have returned to their old
true love.
Our coal mines continue to fur

AMI a gentleman, anything from Il
pair of ovcralls to full dress suit
Starting fo,r years ago in a modest
way, in an old log store house,
they have steadily increased their
trade and popularity as business
men. To-day they occupy very
handsome two story brick build
ing and are full of vim and conf
dence in the future of White Oaks
We asked Albert Zicglcr, the man
aging and handsomcst member of
the firm here, to give us his views
of White Oaks and 1890. He re-
piled" You can say for our firm
we are here to stay. White Oaks
and Lincoln County arc good 'nuff
for us. All we need is railroad
to give our people fair show. -
We have an indu slrious, intelligent
community, and we know of no
place more desirable as q home
than right here. We have done II
good business, expect to do much
more in 80, and If not asking too
much, just say to our host OF Gus
toners and friends that we thank
them for their kind appreciation of
our efforts IN their behalf"
1t is impossible, from want of
space, to mention all of our busi-
ness men, but we can safely say
that we know of none who does
not express the utmost confidence
as to the successful business out
look. In this connection, howcv-
or, we cannot omit mentioning the
Southwestern as we'll as the Carizo
Hotels. John A. Brothers, known
all over Lincoln County as 'jol-
ly good fellow" runs the South
western, and always has his house
full of guests. Vim. GALLAGHER,
of the Carlzo, is in equal luck. -
Both are gentlemen and they re-
port business flattering
AS for the LEADER it is healthy,
always merry" and like unto
Dickens character, forever think
ing itself wisc", still it Is never
conceited. 1t will continue as ev-
er, the champion of Lincoln Co.,
and believe that ere the year closes
other and more sonorous whistles
than those of mouth or mill will
break upon the atmosphere which
hedges in White Oaks and break
the stiffness of the whole county.
We did not intend in the outset
to present our readers with any
thing more than a sober sermon on
the subject of our text, :" BE Mer-
ry and WISE" but as it's impor
tance grew upon us and our busl-
ness men and ellow-townsmen, on
being questioned, gave us such
cheering reports as to what they
had done last year, and what they
expected to do this, we became on
