On September 20, q and %, the first
annual tournament Of the Albuquerque
Gun Club will be held, open to all, and
none barred. Over $500 in cash and
prizes to shoot for. Arrangements have
been made with the railroads to extend
the time of tickets for shooters until Sep

and promises to draw largely.
The Edward Bros thresher is at work
on the north side of the San Juan near
Largo, and has cleaned upward of 1000
bushels of grain, mainly wheat. The
thresher will 60 over to the south side
soon and thresh probably as much more
1t is worthy Of note that this is the first
thresher that was ever taken into the
Mexican settlements near Largo, the
fail and other primitive modes being
used heretofore. Nearly all of the Largo
wheat yield is coming to the Pierce
Touring mill near here.-San Juan Times.
Says the White Oaks Interpreters A
number of Apache Indians from the res
ervation, were in town last week with
their squaws and papoOses. They belonged
to hunting party which was out on a
permit from the agent. Considerable
indignation was felt by citizens of this
place that the Indians should be allowed
to shoot game out OF the season, and sew
eral arrests were made, but the Indians
were released upon promise to return to
the reservation. This promise they pro-
ceeded to keep by going in an opposite
direction and are now Camped north of
Lone mountain, shooting game to their
heart s content.
In speaking of the mining business in
New Mexico the New York sun says
Investors are beginning TO realize that a
nine manager ought to know enough
about mining to tell free gold from iron
pyrites, and bank cashiers, railway clerks,
and liverymen are not in such great de-
mand as mine managers as they were in
the earlier days Of mining in the Rocky
mountain region, when any man of good
business ability no matter what his OCCu-
patton had been, WAS considered good
enough to manage mine out west. This
lesson has cost millions of dollars, and
the information is still being bought, al
though on limited scale.
albuquerque HObS' Iue surveying
corps of the Rio Grande Irrigation &
Colonization company, who started out
from here few days ago, are supposed
to have completed their work and are ex-
pected in town in day or two. So is
Col. Smith. The surveying party started
out from here, beginning on the railroad
track and running east seven miles
thence they started north. In the vicini
ty Of BernaiIlo they were compelled to
drop down from fifty to 100 feet on ac-
count of the rough character Of the coun-
try. In proceeding northward toward
the proposed dam they have found that
higher line is possible.
"The growth OF Eddy and the country
surrounding it is simply unparalleled.
When | was here two and half years
ago there was only one house, and it
wasn't much of a house either, and now
YOU have the smartest little town know
of in the west or southwest. don't
know of town in the southwest, except
ing of course the large cities, that has
such fine hotel, two-story bank Luild-
ing of brick, large warehouses and stores,
and such large number of handsome
cottages. 1t looks like the foundation for
a large city, and this section certainly has
all the conditions that 60 to make one"
