Optic: A citizen Of San Miguel
county, returning from the great
American commercial metropolis,
New York, had many things to tell
The Optic. Among these were che
facts that the building for the New
York World has seven stories after
you reach the top; that one building
in that city contains 5,OOOinhabitants;
and that one saloon there, which
follows the habit Of presenting to its
employees all the receipts on the day
before Christmas, took in and dis
bursed in this way, on December oath,
1890, S13, 30l 90. But Notwithstanding
these things, the citizen of San Miguel
prefers to live in this portion Of New
Mexico. His reasons are too npmer-
GUS and peculiar to be published at
present.
Prospector: A small band OF Indi-
ans known as the Seris tribe have
been giving the military authorities
much trouble in the state of Sonora
for six months past. The government
wisely concluded to arm the civilians
who knew the haunts Of the renegades
and with the help of the troops under
Captain Mendez, General Henriquez
and General Carrillo the surrender of
the hostiles was accomplished after
Gov. Corral had promised them all in
his power if they would obey the laws.
A well informed writer in the Nogales
Record relates the balance ofthe story
as follows: "The Indians were then
established on the different haciendas
to which they belonged and instruc-
tions were given to the proprietors by
the government to give them every
protection and the best treatment
possible; endeavOT to induce them to
work, and to give them just remuner-
alton for their services; also to report
any further signs Of rebellion. Food
and clothing were also distributed
amongst them by the state govern
ment." The method adopted by the
government has thus ended the "Seris
war" of 1890 without violent measures,
or the splling Of blood having been
found necessary.

around Carthage last Saturday. Aru-
NOR had been circulated that the train

House bill No. 40, introduced by
. Mr.. Montoya, from San Miguel, for
:, bids the inclosing Of any lands on any
! grant, to which title in fee simple has
= not been established 1t also pre-
- vents the inclosing of unconfrmed
land grants; and the inclosing Of lands
= by any party possessing an undivided
interest in the same, until permission
therefor has been obtained in writing
: from all parties interested. The idea
seems to be that il fences are moi
made, of course, they cannot be cut
- But there is no doubt that all persons
:, should be prevented from inclosing
lands to which they have no shadow Of
- title, and which are not open to settle
? ment according to law.
