the decision OF two Of the best Indianolo-
gsts We have.
From climatic and neurological point
of view this is one of the best mining
countries in the world. But in order to
make signal success of our valuable
mines, there must be better judgment
and better management employed and
more solid capital interested. Good
mines and bad management will not pay.

Trading in sheep to date has been very
light in New Mexico, buyers refusing to
pay the prices asked. Feeders who ham
died some of the scrubby sheep from New
Mexico lost money heavily on account of
the price of feed, and will insist on re-
duction in prices if they make any pur-
chases in the territory this year, so says
the Stock Grower.
A party of investors from Pueblo, Colo,
has taken bond on Heatley's mines in
the Tres Hermanas. The purchase price
is said to be $4,000, says the Deming
Headlight. B. Y. McKeyes, of Demlng,
told President HARRISON that "yonder
Tres Hermanas district should be of
peculiar interest" to him as the Baby
Mckee mine was located there. "Well,"
responded Mr.. Harrison, eff the mine is
as great treasure as Baby Mckee, it is a
good one."
Says the Las Vegas Optic: Night be-
fore last, thirteen armed and masked
men entered the home Of the Widow Ra-
mon Sanchez, near Sapello. After bind
ing her securely, they proceeded to rob
the house, while four Of them raped her
l5-year-old adopted daughter. After &C.
complaining their hellish purpose, they
all left. Mrs. Sanchez, who is a sister
of Jesus Maria Martinez, and has been
widow for about year, thinks she recog-
nized one of the four men.
From all accounts the recent strike in
the lower tunnel on the Bennett is the
most valuable that has ever been made in
this noted mine. The ore vein when cut
through was found to be nine feet wide
ana all OF 1t goes to the smelter, no sorting
belng necessary. The grade is much bet
ter than what has been found in the C i've,
