tine west and south by wash outs
below Albuquerque.
The weather duriug the past
week has been little too cool for
comfort, considering the advanced
season. Fires have been kept up
In many OF the heating stoves much
OF the time.
The editor hopes By next week
to be be able to publish his paper
with tho old-time vigor. lie Is
out again and able TO thank the
many kind friends for profIered
assistance aud hearty, cheerful
greetings.
The many friends OF Captain s.
Davis, OF Galisteo, will sympathise
Ia his loss sustained In the death OF
his bright little fve year old
daughter, which occurred at the
Galisteo home the first Of this
week.
Constable z. NJ. Crutchneld de-
sires that men and boys hunting
will not shoot near houses IN and
around town as has been the Gus
tom, and no has been instructed on
complaint TO make arrests for future
violations OF this character.
The amount of spring rains for
the past ten days has been some
thing unusual for this section. 1t
has managed to rain on three or
four days Of the week, and in conse-
quence, everything begins TO look
green. There should be no trouble
in raising fair crops Of oats, rye,
ETC., around Cerrillos this year.
Yesterday evening we glanced at
an exchange and read the item,
"but little coal is now being shipped
from Corrillos." Our eyes wan
dered from the paper to the side
track In front Of the office and
counted ID cars, loading and loa ded
ready for the days shipment. The
coal trade at Cerrillos is good the
year around.
The extreme high water point on
the Rio Grande is thought to have
been reached and the water Is re.
ceding. The steady cool weather
has no doubt served 10 prevent q
more disasterous overflow, prevent
Ing the snow In the mountains
from melting as fast as 10 would
with warmer weather. As it was
much OF the valley was under
water, some buildings and bridges
washed away aud considerable
damage done in general way.
E. NJ. Wilson, lessee of the old
Montezuma mine and store keeper
at Las Piacitas, In the Sandals,
seven miles east Uf Bernalillo, was
shot three times and killed, last
Saturday night. His store was also
broken into and robbed. The fact
that Dare, the Golden Nine man
had had trouble with him the day
before and had left, going to Berna.
lilo and procuring cartridges and
returning that night, has thrown
him under suspicion OF being the
guilty party. He was arrested but
subsequently, turned loose for want
OF evidence. The murder Is as yet
shrouded In mystery.
Ii is probable that. within anoth-
or year, Cerrillos will have an OUT
let for her superior Goals through
the southeastern portion of the ter
ritory and Texas, to tho gulf. 1t is
also probable that che will be con-
nected with north New Mexico and
Colorado by the narrow gauge, and
with the camps south by one or
more lines of road. Putting the
limit OF time when this shall bs at
two years, or even three, and 1t por-
tends for southern Santa Fe county
all that progress can imply. Gen.
Cral activity, the opening up of
great mining industries In such
numbers and to such an extent as
will make of the section q veritable
bee. hive Of industry which shall
build and sustain cities, support
thousands Of laborers and add to
the worlds treasures, millions up
on millions.
