WHAT SANTA FE NEEDS,

TO the Editor of the New Mexican.

| 20 the Editor of the New Mexican.
Probably every intelligent citizen will
agree that on account of the climate, pic
turesque surroundings and historic in.
| terest OF Santa Fe, it ought to be the
favorite residence and tourist place of the
Rocky mountain region. Our advantages
in these respects greatly exceed those OF
any other town. 1t is only for us to use
them. Yet places like Colorado Springs,
inferior in every way, by making them
selves attractive, are reaping the harvest
that We should have
1t is not eXtravagant to say that by
makiny proper exertions We ought within
two years to secure an average boarding
population of $500, and at least 400 new
families, each living in house built with
in that time. And with that start the
future progress would be much more rapid.
But We are doing nothing to obtain all
this. We are losing all benefit Of the
wonderful advantages We possess by fail
ing 10 add what is necessary TO attract and
r. tain tourists and new residents.
What are the necessary things? | will
suggest few which are obvious:
l. Clean streets.
2. Improvements in plaza.
g.. Shade trees on streets.
4. Laying dust by sprinkling streets,
5. Lighting principal streets at night.
6. Marking historic objects and places
None of these things are very difficult
or expensive. Of course nothing can be
fully done without Incorporation, and that
is essential to much progress. But con
siderable can be done without it. The
penitentiarv board can do much to i'm
prove the streets and plaza. To keep
streets clean and to sprinkle them will re
Quire but two carts, and the latter is not
necessary all the time. Even if the
plaza and few leading streets were light
ed, it would give the town u different as
pect. small amount would mark his
t rio places, and neat card containing.a
list OF objects OF interest within walking
and driving distance dixie those common
at eastern resorts distributed at Las We
gas and Colorado Springs and on the
trains would bring hundreds of persons
here every month. If the county com.
missioners do not feel that they can I'M
dertake some OF these things, why does
not the Board Of Trade act, or commit
tee of citizens take hold OF the matter 1t
is easy to ascertain the expense and at
least try the experiment OF raising it. OF
course an equal tax through an incorpora
tioL is the best way but until that comes,
let US do what We can otherwise. Some
times all that is wanted is a start So
will make an offer for others to follow.
If the Board of Trade will act, or public
meeting will elect committee OF citizens
for the purpose, and any or all OF the i'm
provements enumerated above are under
taken, at an expense for the year of from
sl00 to 81 900, according to what is to be
done, will give one-twentleth of the
amount. | believe it is entirely pralti-
cable to raise all that is necessary for
this is for actual, substantial benefit, and
will bring immediate results. Letus stop
wasting money on chimerical projects,
and improve the advantages which We
have. ONE CITIZEN.

THIEVES AT WORK.
A Bold Assault on Geo. W. KnsebePs
safe-A Shot at the Crooks.

Crooks, who were evidently not ex-
perts, knocked the knob and all the pretty
silver mounted acorns OF Geo. W.
! Anaebel's Office safe last night. They
utilized the great seal of the adjutant
general of the territory for hammer,
and made so much noise that their plans
were frustrated.
About 80 this morning Mr.. B. Kahn
was awakened by sounds of hammering,
and upon investigation he found they
came from MIR. Knaebel's law office, adj
joining his residence. At this juncture
Jimmy Garland drove by OH his hack.
and he was called to. Capt. John Gray
was also awakened, and The three men
went to investigate. They found
the front office door locked.
MIR. Kahn and Mr.. Gray then
went around through the placta to a
rear window, leaving young Garland to
the front. The latter was the only one
in the party that had a revolver, and that
only contained single cartridge. When
the two men reached the rear window the
burglar cody opened the front office door
and stepped out on the side walk. He
saw Garland standing not far off and
sprang behind one of the portal posts.
Garland commanded the fellow to halt
He obeyed for second, but got another
post between him and the hackman when
the latter called again to him saying if he
didn't stop he would fire. At this the
burglar took to his heels and Garland
fired, but without effect. By this time
Capt. Gray was around in front
again aud he and Garland gave
the robber close chase up Palace avenue
as far as Col. Breeden's residence. There
the fellow spraDg over the fence and got
away across the cienega. Had either OF
them carried loaded weapon a dead rob-
Der would probably lie lying around this
morning.
In the meantime Mr.. Kahn was in
formed b. his servant girl that another
robber had escaped from the office
through the back window and an attempt
was made to call the police but none OF
this gentry were to be found.
The robbers evidently had keys that |
permitted them to enter the office. Their |
work, as far as it was prosecuted at the |
time they were disturbed, was very crudey
done. Their tools consisted OF two pieces |
Of wagon iron, and the adjutant generals |
seal. They demolished the safe door, but |
might have worked all night and failed to
get ut its contents, in such all unsystem-
attic manner had they gone about the job.

Metal Market Pointers.

Copper is the riddle among metal deal.
ers, for whatever is not expected to take
place occurs. A fortnight ago the bank
rrs dumped 5,0OO,O pounds on the mar
ket, at IA cents, and everyone expected
to see prices hang about that figure, but
demand proved too strong, and the price
jumped up again to l41a, under sales OF
over 100000 pounds.
The tate of Mexican lead ore seems to
be still trembling in the balance, but the
chances seem to be in favor OF the bill be-
ing reported with the tax on lead. A Bit
ter fight on the matter in congress, how
ever, seems almost certain; and where
there are so many individuals who can he
made subject to So many influences, the
hnal outcome is doubtful, especially as
the heaviest financial guns--viz., the rail-
ways and some OF the Mexican smelters
and. the cattle interests-are all ranged
on the other side.

1T WILL GO DOWN.
Citisens Decide to Keep the Drill Pound.
Ing Oh the Experimental Well.

Agreeable to call q number OF citizens
met with the artesian well directors at
the office of Gildersleeve & Preston at 10
O'Clock this morning, and the artesian
well experiment in all its phases was
thoroughly discussed. 1t was the unani-
nous sentiment of the meeting that the
work should not be allowed to halt at it's
present unsatisfactory juncture. Those
who had inspected the work explained
that apparently the 1000 feet already
drilled had but just gone through the val
ley wash" and entered now the lime
stone bed rock, in which it was confidently
expected to develop artesian water. This
limestone may be underlaid with sand or
may carry strata Of sandstone or crevices
which may yield an artesian flow at any
stroke of the drill.
A proposition Was submitted by Mr..
Lefever whereby he agrees to sink the
we'll at least 300 feet further at 81 per
foot, he to supply the necessary casing
and do the work In first class manner
This was deemed liberal offer and was
promptly accepted, and the sum OF 1907
was raised in about five minutes to carry
on the work. Other subscriptions will be
solicited, 10 the end that bed rock shall
