DRYING OUT TIE BOOMERS.

The boomers in the Oklahoma region got a
set back last week. when orders to drive them
all out Of the Cherokee strip arrived from
Washington. and cavalry force was sent
there to enforce these orders and to keep the
strip clear during the whole OF the winter sea-
son. The white settlers had supposed that they
could retain their holdings. and that the negoti-
atoms OF the Government Commissioners with
tho Cherokees for tho cession Of the strip
would be successful early in October. The
Government had offered the Cherokeos the
liberal allowance Of sl.25 per acre. or $780,
900 for their 6.000.O0O acres and there seemed
to be no doubt OF the acceptance Of this offer.

The directors Of the San Pedro Town

the Office of Governor Prince. Because
of continued i'll health, Richard Gblin
presented his resignation as president,
acting treasurer and director of the com
pany. To fill the vacancies S. f. Raum-
helm was elected president of the direc-
tory, Governor Prince treasurer, and Geo.
H. Cross director. A telegram was
read from F. A. Blake, secretary, saving
he was snow bound at Rociada and could
not be present. A resolution was adopted
giving all those who are indebted to the
company, for balances due on the pur.
chase OF lots, until April to settle up in
full without interest. The company's
prospects for the coming year and the
certainty that San Pedro would ere many
months have railroad communication
were discussed with no small degree of
enthusiasm. The U. S. patent for the
company's lands were reported secured
and paid for, and the business of the cor
poration generally in good shape. A
resolution was adopted calling a special
stockholders meeting April Is, and the
president and secretary were directed to
give legal notice thereof for two weeks in
advance.

A Smelter Pointer

OF course Santa Fe wants a smelter /;
needs it In her business, and with the
unexcelled resources here for fuel, huxing,
etc., there is reason to believe that it is
not great way off. Take Creede camp,
in the San Juan country, for instance.
1t is less than 200 miles from Santa Fe-
much nearer than Denver or Pueblo
with down hill pull all the way. Here
is what the San Juan ProspeCtor at Del
Norte says of this new camp.
off Creede does not send out from forty
to sixty cars OF ore per day before May
the Prospector will be greatly mistaken.
The camp has not fairly commenced
shipping ore yet, though it has sent out
the greater part of 300 cars since the LIST
of July. Actual shipments tell the story
there is no unwarranted boom about
a camp that has actual daily shipments
for foundation, and Creede is one of
them. The tramways and new steam
holsters will necessarily increase ship
ments heavily. Building is going on as
rapidly as men can get material to build
with, and all who are acquainted with the
camp speak well Of it. Creede is indeed
the mining wonder Of the year. People
who have doubts about it should see the
camp themselves and be convinced.
Creede's tonnage record for 1892 will aston
ish the mining world"

Real live, crisp, readable news continues
to be very scarce over at Las Vegas,
hence the Optic fills space with this an
cient and rusty gag which originated
about the time that Diego de Vargas built
the unsightly portals in Santa Fe that
modern enterprise now demands re-
moved;
"a man went running up San Francis
co street, in Santa Fe, the other evening,
trying to attract the attention Of an ac-
quaintance, few yards ahead of him,
whose name he could not remember,
evidently, but by turns he called, "Say .
Judge! Major! Colonel! Captain" and
before he had caught the man he wanted
nearly all the men on the street stopped
and looked around, thinking that the
hurrying individual WAS calling them in
detail"

In ordering his advertisement out of
the New MEXICAN to-day local business
man said: "If people couldn't patron
ice him without seeing his name in the

is that for public spiritedness?
There has been an extraordinary snow
fall south Of Santa Fe county OF late and the
Rio Grande may be expected to go on the
rampage early next spring, especially if
what the prophets predict holds good /;
they look for an early, warm spring.
The New MEXICAN is the largest manu-
featuring establishment in this city and
employs more people than any other con-
Germ in the city hence the paper should
receive the most liberal advertising and
printing patronage. 1t is in the fullest
sense of the word home institution and
ought to be patronized accordingly.
Prof. A. E. Blunt returned last night

William M. Ireland, cousin of A. G.
Ireland, died at Washington, D. c., on
Christmas eve, of cancer. Mr.. Ireland
visited Santa Fe in 1882, accompanying
General Albert Pike as his private secre-
tary. His remains were taken to Phila-
delphia for interment. While here by his
genial ways he made many friends espe'
cially among the Masonic fraternity, as
he was one OF the most prominent
Masons in the country. In early days he
and the late William II. Manderfeld were
school mates in Philadelphia.
Arson H. Kreider, middle aged man
from Parsons, Kas., who came here six
weeks ago, practically dead with con-
sumption, died yesterday morning at the

Mayor Knaebel and other members of the
Masonic fraternity yesterday rendered
Mrs. Kreider every service in having the
remains cared for and made ready fol
shipment. The remains were taken east
last night accompanied by the Borrowing
vile and her mother.
