ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

j. X. Livingston, OF the Rio Grande
Land Co., is here from Las Cruces to-
day. He has nine acres OF alfalfa in the
Meslla valley from which he Is now cut
ting his fourth crop, and it yields him two
tons per acre for each cutting, or eight
! tons per acre for the season. He sells
this for $40. Lands that yield 10 per cent
on q valuation OF $500 per acre are not
found, as a rule, in many parts OF the
west outside of New Mexico. Alfalfa in
this country pays almost as much profit
as fruit trees.
MIR. Richard Mansfield White, of So =
zorro county, was ia the city this morn
ing and left Mt 80 for Chicago to attend
the meeting of the Worlds fair commits
sioners OF which he is one. Mr.. White
says New Mexico will miss the oppor-
tunity OF her existence if her legislature
fails to do the right thing toward an ap.
preparation for grand exhibit at the
Worlds fair. His idea is that at least
$4,000 should I've expended in showing
up this territory's resources at Chicago in
1898.
A row occurred at pixon's last night
between two hack drivers, when the bar
tender, Billy Reed, ordered the pugiists
to leave the establishment. Gus Hunter,
one of the hack drivers, assaulted the bar
tender with the butt-end of his whip and
also hurled a large svne at him, where
upon Reed grabbed up six-shooter and
fired one shot at Hunter. The bullet sped
wide OF its mark, however. and friends
soon separated the combattants. No
arrests.
Fred. Simon, OF st. Joe, who claims to
represent Westheimer & Co., liquor deal
ers, was arrested last night on the charge
of obtaining note for $3.50 from Andrew
Cencil, OF San Pedro, under false pre-
lenses in that he Is not authorized to act
for Westheimer & Co. Henry Essinger,
a liquor dealer from Las Vegas, had
some words with Simon last evening and
row ensued when Essinser knocked
Simon down. Squire Martinez is hear
ing the case this afternoon.
The Oliver Comedy Co. played to a
small but very appreciative audience at
the court house last night. Miss Cricket
Oliver has fine voice and elegant stage
presence and the little folks are simply
immense, while Courtney in his role of
comedian kept the house in roars Of laugh
tor. They play again tonight with an
entire change of program, and the citi-
zsns OF Santa Fe will miss a rare treat if
they do not attend.
A sample of the Arizona red sand stone
OF which the Webber block is to be built,
is on exhibition at Creamers store. 1t is
believed that the red sand stone found in
the canon just northeast of Donovant's
mill, is quite as valuable rs this for build
ing purposes if any one will take the pains
to open it up.
Charlie Dudrow bought eight car loads
Of coal at Cerrllos yesterday. He says
the miners there are much behind with
their orders, and for thirty days past were
short on coal cars, but yesterday morning
fifteen cars were side tracked for them,
and in ten minutes there were thirty
teams unloading.
A boy from Is to Is years OF age wanted
at the New MEXICAN book bindery to
learn the trade.
Another section OF the Delgado wall
tumbled into the Weber excavation this
forenoon.
The weather is fine for ducks and rab-
bits and the foothills are full OF sports
mon.
Water street has been much improved
OF late.
An elegant snow storm is on this after
noon.
