Improbable report in Las Vegas Free

On Sunday morning DR.. Simpson
slapped j. s. Scott IN the face while he
had six-shooter in his hand. Scott, not
liking this kind of treatment, went to his
caboose and came back with Win

any damage. A warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of the doctor, but when the

Las Vegas Free Press: The Optic was
mistaken about S. Wettach taking first
honors in the West Point examination at
Albuquerque, and also that his parents
reside at Silver City. Bertram G. Gilbert,
of Silver City, stood highest, and while
S. Wettach came next, he is not resi-
dent Of the territory, as he is a minor, and
his parents reside in Carrollton, Stark
county, Ohio. Though giving his resi-
dence in the territory at eleven months,
he first entered it in November, worked
about three months at Coolidge, one
month at Iamy and came to Las Vegas
in March. He was not entitled to enter
the examination at all, as it was for the
boys of New Mexico, while he is nom
resident.
From the various sections of New Mex
leo reports come that rains have fallen in
the past two weeks. In the southwest
the range was very dry, and to date the
fall has only sufiiced to relieve the dis
tressiul condition, but the prospects are
good for abundant rains during the season.
In the central western portion OF the ter
ritory about the same conditions prevail.
In the southern and central portions of
the Pecos valley there has been an abund-
ant rainfall lately, and conditions are all
favorable; in the upper portion Of the
valley there has been some rain, but not
enough to be satisfactory to the rangemen.
In the northeastern portion of the terri
tory the range is good, and there has been
some rain lately, but much more is need
cd to make conditions favorable all
around. In the northwestern corner the
range is good and there is no complaint OF
scarcity OF water.
Cooks Peak notes. Messrs. Dickson
and Crook have struck fine body of ore
on the Crook Fraction, at Cooks Peak.
The boys struck fair body of ore close
to the surface on this property some time
ago, but lost it, the ore streak pinching
almost entirely out; but they stuck to a
narrow gauge or streak OF iron ore which
led them to the present body which
promises to be one Of the finest ore bodies
yet discovered in the camp, T..
James Martin has raised another excite
ment in the Cooks Peak district this
week, in uncovering one of the richest
and most extensive ore bodies yet un-
eighteen feet from the surface, on the
Inez mining location, formerly known as
the Montesuma, one OF the oldest loca-
tons in the camp. The Ines is owned
by Lindauer and Wormser, Of Deming,
and Mr.. Martin is working the property
on lease OF twelve months.
