Cruces note: "There is everything to
be gained by incorporating Las Cruces
and nothing to lose. The benefits are
lnnumerable; pest house would be es-
tablshed out of town where the small
poX cases could be properly cared for, and
it would be prevented from spreading !;
the streets could be improved sidew alks
paved owners of filthy corraIs would be
made to clean them up, aud many other
things, too numerous to mention, would
be done. We hope that the prominent
men who have expressed themselves as
iavorng incorporation will push the mat
ter through"
By a careful observation of the number
of loaded cars leaving and arriving at the
Silver City depot, it is learned that the
number loaded with ore, marble and cat
lie leaving the city will double the num-
Der loaded with general merchandise,
machinery, etc, arriving here. There is
no such thing as an empty car leaving
this point, while the number of emptes
arriving daily are quite noticeable. When
it is considered that the freight receipts of
this city are as great rs those of any city
in the territory, a fair idea of the magni-
tude OF our exports can be secured. -sll

The finding OF the pot of gold recalls
the story of Capt. Davis buried treasure.
Capt. Davis washed out over 5000 worth
of gold from Rich Gulch and has 1t buried
some where around the camp. The gold
is in pickle jar and the jar is in tin
can. Pete Kness, comes nearer to know
ing where it is than any one else and he
thinks the gold is buried in the old stable |
next to Fishers blacksmith shop. Ar
raster johnson also buried some gold,
about 500 worth, hear Skillcorn's mill
and that has never been found, SO there
is still chance for some one to make a
rick strike.-Pinos Altos Miner.
