Chief Engineer Rorcs, of the Denver and FL

The survey has been completed from Trinidad

the Santa Fe. The grades and curves are easy

said Mr.. Ropes, "is similar to Colorado, and m
be developed as Colorado has been. Railroads
are nee He'd to put the Territory in condition.
New Mexico has one mile of railway TO ninety

The traffic in sight is sufficient to pay the
expenses of the road the first or second year."
Mr. Ropes explained to tie directors that the
Mexican trade would he a great item ia the

Mr. Raynolds thinks that the company should

DENVER--2EL PASO r. r.

The position of White Oaks with ref
erence to this railroad, 80 far as what
ever influence the action of her citizens
may have had or will have upon it's sue
cess, has been stated lately in press
reports in such manner as to be mislead-
ing. While it is true that no official
tender has been made to the Denver Ell
Paso Independent Company OF the
amount subscribed at White Oaks in aid
OF the road, neither have the company
asked for it. The facts, however, should
give White Oaks, pro rata, first place in
regard to amount already paid and
amount subscribed with guarantee Of
right Of way. White Oaks has a popu-
lation Of ten to twelve hundred the first
number, perhaps, most nearly correct.
The people of White Oaks, through
their representative, Jno. Y. Hewitt,
paid into the survey fund $1,000; being
the first amount paid in. All of this
sum was paid by individuals, none of it
from any city or county appropriation,
as was tue case in at least one instance
elsewhere.
About the same time, White Oaks
subscribed some twelve or thirteen
thousand dollars, which subscription
holds good upon condition that the road
comes. White Oaks also guaranteed Z
right of way through the town, with de
pot and essential side-track grounds
free OF cost to the railway, which woulG
amount to considerable additional sun
from the pockets of our citizens. All o.
this and probably mere can be secured
from White Oaks upon proper bushes,
basis when called upon.
In addition to this, there arc possibl,
other property ty-holders in Lincoln coun
ty, outside of White Oaks, who are anx
ious for railroad, with it's concomltan
benefits, who would willingly subscrib
to any legitimate railroad enterprise
: such as the Denver El Peso appears t.
be. Come on, gentlemen, with your rail
road proposition, and as cited above
you can depend on White Oaks, but il
your interviews gi7e the outside worl,
an opportunity to know that we hav
done at least as well as any other CON
munity- even beyond what has bee
formally asked.

The Old Abe, North Homestake and
Lady Go1iva are all running steadily.
The total output of the Old Abe for
about eighteen months has been
S334,307 81.
The North with about ten men take
out and mill about3 35 tons per day run
ming day time only. The total annual
output amounts to about $1,000 at a
total cost of less than $4,000 annual ex-
pense. This mine should be worked day
and night the same as the Old Abe, but
some disaffection toward White Oaks
and Indifference on the part of the own
ers prevents this, although instead of
100000 and upwards total output, this
mine could have been made to produce
a cool million from ore in sight.
The fact which makes these two great
min es probably the richest in New Mex
leo is, that thus far a comparatively
small portion of the property nas been
worked and every evidence exists that
the whole claims are full of ore. TLey
will produce millions more.
The Lady Godiva at 60U feet is drifting
at right angles from the main shaft, both
north and south to cut two bodies of ore
about eqili-distant from the shaft on

weeks or less 10 announce strikes in bo h
drifts.

THE WHEELWOMAN.
She Should Be a Thing OF Beauty, but
Not n Record Breaker.

She Should Be a Thing OF Beauty, but
Not n Record-Erealecr.
This is go-ahead age; an age when
woman is as characteristically go-ahead
as man, when she is prepared to uphold
her rights against all comers, and
when she even wants a voice in the gov
ernment of her country. In such an
age, says Cycling, we venture, daringly
perhaps, to raise our voice in protest
against female record-brca!sers. We
have nothing but admiration for the
lady cycler; nothing but an earnest
hopefulness that the sport of cycling
may long remain open to her without
the cramred and prejudiced and Argus
eyed public to warp her energy in the
participation of the pastime. Time
was when public opinion was dead set
against the girl cycler, but it is not so
now, and the frequently seen graceful
female figure, erect and steady on her
gliding wheel, is responsible for the
elimination of public prejudice and the
consequent popularization of the pas
time amongst women.
We want to see this happy condition
of affairs continue; nor is this all. We
want to see progress made and the num-
Der of lady devotees increased. 1t has
been stated that notwithstanding feats
by lady riders win bring about the con-
summation of this wish, bit we feel
confident that exactly the reverse will
be the case, and when 4 arecord-breaking
craze takes hold of wheelwomen we fear
the end of the tether is within reach
and female cycling is doomed! 1t mat
ters not in what walk of life, or in
what pastime she may take part, a
woman may always reap the greatest
benefits and the fullest enjoyment
within the limits of rational indul-
gene. She is born to be graceful, and
whether she rows a boat, manipulates
a punt, rides II horse, plays golf or
| tennis, or progresses on wheels, there
is prescribed limit beyond which her
| modesty and department should abso-
lutely forbid her to step; and moreover,
beyond which she becomes an exhibi-
tion that excites neither envy in her
comperes or admiration in the opposite
sex.
The record-breaking woman-espe-
cially she who essays long distance per-
! formances-cannot be graceful; the
peculiar action of cycle propulsion at
high speed will not permit it in her
case, and as she poses in scorching atti-
tude, twists her pedals as rapidly as
she is able, and in fact centers all her
attention and energy towards the at
tainment of speed, she cannot fail to be
other than an object of ridiculc, au OBJ
ject to which the finger of scorn is just
ly pointed. and a spectacle which is
neither edifying, or in the least likely
to lead others to take up the pastime OF
cycling. We hope, therefore, the record
breaking lady cycler has not come ta
stay.

HARD HIT.

BY n Decision of the United States SUI
prcme Court, the Southern Pacific Rail-
way Loses Its Title to Millions of Dol
lars Worth of California Lands.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-The supreme
court of the United States in an opinion
delivered by Associate Justice Brewer,
decided the long pending controversy
between the United States and the
Southern Pacific railroad over certain
valuable lands situated between the
Colorado river and Pacific ocenn
within the limits of the grant
to the Atlantic & Pacific Rail-
road Company, and which tho
Southern Pacific claimed as successor
to the Atlantic s. Pacific. The court
below decided for the Southern Pacific
Company in all the cases. Justice
Brewer held that the title of the lands
in question vested in the Atlantic &
Pacific were forfeited by the act
of congress in 1886 and did
not pass to the Southern Pacific rail-
road, but was thereby restored to the
public domain; and therefore the title
rests in the United States. The de-
c:sion of the lower court is reversed
