Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-07-14
ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

You bet, he can't keep his mouth shut
The city government is installed, and
now to business.
Clean streets, Messrs City Fathers are
absolutely necessary.
The aldermanic committee is at work to-
day drafting the new city ordinances.
Workmen began to-day to give the cap
itol fresh coating of paint.
To-day's refreshing rain shower is well
coined with hands up by the gardeners
and orchardists.
G. w. North has purchased the old
we'll boring machinery from Mr., Catron
and is to-day removing the same to Ger
rillos where artesian water and natural
gas will be bored for.
With the responsibilities of looking
after the water, police and street lighting
service on their hands, Santa Fe alder
men are now full-pledged officials OF no
small import.
Word comes up from south Santa Fe
county that the lessees OF the Lincoln
Lucky mine are so well pleased with their
discoveries thus far as to prompt them to
buy the mine outright for an even $780,
900. r. Y. Anderson, and Messrs. jacob
and Middleton, of Denver, are the pur-
Chasers.
Mr.. John H. Robertson on yesterday
received official communication OF his ap-
pointment as Pueblo Indian agent and
is now busy preparing his bond which is
for $40, 900 sureties to qualify in double
this amount.
There is still lack OF building material
in Santa Fe, but it isn't in the lumber
line. Charlie Dudrow got in five car loads
of lumber from Tres Piedras yesterday
and also two car loads of the celebrated
quarter-sawed flooring all the way from
Arkansas. The latter is flooring for the
Catron block.
OF the movements of Judge Sluss and
Clerk Reeder, of the private land claims
court, the Kansas City Star says A dstin-
guished fishing party consisting Of Senator
Plumb, Judge Sluss, George R. Peck, Judge
Jim Reeder and Marsh and Bent Muir
dock will 60 to Wagon Wheel Gap, Colo,
in August, to angle for trout. Bent Muir
dock, whose relations to the "old crowd"
are somewhat strained, was induced,
after much persuasion, to consent to join
the party, though it is not stated whether
he will fish or cut bait.
"Santa Fe, with proper effort on the
part Of the citizens, can be made one of
the most healthful and magnificent sum-
mer resorts IN the United States. The
climate and scenery are unsurpassed"
Thus speaks the Albuquerque Citizen.
Correct, and the Citizen would serve its
local readers and do Santa Fe no damage
by going further and advising residents
of the Duke city to send their wives and
little ones to enjoy life in this climate
during the heated term.
Messrs. j. d. and Alex. Allen re-
turned last night from trip to Santa
Cruz creek, twelve miles beyond Bald
mountain, where they caught about 100
splendid sized trout yesterday. The trip
is hard one, about thirty-fve miles, and
must be made on horseback. The fishing,
| hoWnyar ia fine and the cnuntrv haantifrl
there being miles OF grassy, well watered
glades, and stately pine forests. The fat
cattle and sheep in that region are suffic-
lent to supply agreat market and the val
ley farmers thereabouts seem to live Gin
clover"
The Santa Fe Southern railroad bridge
at White Rock canon was destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon, and the train
carrying the Denver and Pueblo mail,
due at 5 40 last evening, is still on the
other side of it. How it originated is a
mystery. 1t was stated last night that
teams would bring the mail and passen
gers through from Espanola last night,
but up to 8 o'clock this afternoon they
had failed to materialize. A force of men
was sent out to-day to repair the break,
but this can scarcely be done short of
three days. In the meantime, it seems
likely that the mail from Colorado points
will be tied up at Espanola.
