A thief, or more, last night, got into
the Bazar, Geist & Prigmore, proprietors
broke open the safe, stole $25 in money
about $50 in perlumery, plated goods
and Other articles of value and took {
gold watch which Mr.. Prigmore valued
so highly because of associations, that ht
would have refused $500 for it. At wha
| time the theft was committed, by whom
or how many, and how they obtained en-
trance, are matters to which no clue hat
been obtained. Mr.. Prigmore sleeps
above the store.-Optic.
Maxwell grant matters: General Man
ager NJ. =. Pels made trip owe
the ditch systems Of the grant com
pany last week and found everything
in fine condition. The lakes are full tC
overhowing. = But little i!
known Of the magnitude or quantity o
water that can be stored in one lake. II
an interview with General Manager Pela
he made an estimate Of the amount 0
water in Laguna Madre lake, one G
twelve lakes on the Nermejo system, ant
it was astounding. There is now 2,09l,
000,00 gallons in that lake which /;
sufficient to irrgate 1, ,547 acres Of land

Albuquerque note: CAS- duty il owes
to the public, the Citizen desires to cal
the attention Of the mayor and city Coun'
Gil to the imperative necessity for a radi'
cal improvement in cur water supply.
This is an unpleasant subject, but it is
better for US to meet it now than TO put it
off until the filthy stuff that is being
served to the people becomes the source
Of an epidemic, costing many valuable
lives and running the good name of the
town. We presume the water company
can explain the present condition OF af-
fairs, by broken pump, an engine out
of order, or something Of the kind, but
such things are happening all the time,
and in the meanwhile the people are be.
ing poisoned by filthy water"
At a meeting of the stockholders Of the
Albuquerque Santarium company which
was held yesterday afternoon at the Office
Of Dr.. Winslow, the following gentlemen
were elected directors for the ensuing
year Messrs. Folsom, Reynolds, Sam.
mis-, Burgess and Rodey. The seCretary's .
report was read which showed the assets
to be 80, 355 80; expenses and liabilities,
$8,99420. A committee consisting Of
Messrs. Mcclellan, Briggs and Farr were
appointed to examine the secretary's and
treasurer's books and reports. At pres
ent the sanitarium is empty and it is
likely it will be so until the new directors
make change in the management OF the
afair.-Albuquerque Citizen.
The tramp nuisance has become almost
unbearable; not alone in the towns, but
on the trains as they pass through the
country. Last evening, as No. 2, the
train from the south, left Albuquerque,
Conductor Oder's crew drove thirty
tramps from their several hiding places
about the train. At Wallace seven more
were fred bodily. At Cerrillos another
gang attempted to board the cars, using
stones and foul language, and even firing
at the rear-cnd brakeman. One OF the
bTakemen was compelled to beat one OF
tie tramps severely over the head with a
pistol and even with the pistol cooked in
his face, the tramp continued his abuse
and persisted in his effort to get on the
train.-Las Vegas Optic.
In 1883 4, Messrs. Gould and Hunting
ton, acting through their joint agent,
Major Gordon, purchased and afterward
patented 1000 acres of coal lands in tho
White Oaks field including the great
Williams mine. The prospect OF South
ern Pacific extension which Huntington
then had in mind, was subsequently
abandoned, in favor of extension in
another direction. Some years ago the
title to this property was transferred into
the name Of j.. II. Pardee, of New York
who it was we'll understood at the time by
the few in position to know, represented
tllG lultItSl VI WI 'OuiNl, NIltll llul
absorbed that OF Mr.. Huntington. Mr..
Gould, therefore, has by far the largest
interest in the White Oaks coal field,
and is, of course, in position to com
mand the transfer to him Of the rest OF
the field at reasonable figure, competi-
ton with him being, OF course, out Of the
question. Lincoln Republican.
The prospects for the canalgre factory
are brighter than ever, The ground fixed
upon for the building, which will be of
brick, lies just south of the new sampler
in the NV ,se sec. 26, and COM
prises about fifteen acres. There is every
reason to believe the factory will be in
course OF construction within sixty days.
1t might bevwell to state right here that
Deming appears to be on the verge OF q
boom. Not spasmodic boom, but q
steady and substantial one. The Canal
gre Extract company has been organized
in Peoria, H., and the capital stock has
already been subscribed. The company
comprises some of the most substantial
business men Of Peoria and Chicago, with
G. B, Allairo as general manager and f..
G. Denig as secretary. With the advent
of this factory Deming will become the
first town in the United States from which
the extract of canaigro will be shipped
