The rock drilling contest was

However, the Judges. determined
that the opening contest would DO
down holes and "uppers," with all
their artistic strokes reserved for
to-day and tomorrow. The judges,
J. L. Mclaughlin of San Pedro, r.
A. Nickle OF Hillsboro and J. Frank
Wilson of Albuquerque, have en-
tered heartily into the contest, and
have everything arranged for the
convenience OF the combatants.

used no 'spoon" and the hole was

small tube attached to two gallon
can of water. As time was called
at the end of every minute, the
men still holding their positions on

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

From the Commercial Advertiser, N. Y.
Near the town OF White Oaks,
N. NJ, lives one OF the most re-
markable women even OF this most
remarkable age. The house in
which she lives, low, white walled
adoba building, covered with green
vines and fitted out with rich
carpets, artistic hanginga, books
and pictures, exquisite china aud
silver, and all the dainty belong
ings with which refined woman
loves to surround herself, was
built with her own hands. The
huge ranch upon which it is locat-
cd, with its 5000 cattle, is man
aged entirely by her. 1t is she
who buys or takes up the land,
selects and controls the men, buys,
sells and transfers the cattle. She
is also a skillful and intelligent
prospector, and found the valuable
silver mine on her territory in
which she now owns a half interest.
She sings charmingly, accomany--
ing herself on the piano or guitar,
anil ha1dles cambria needle or a
water color brush as dexterously
as she uses an adze or a jack plane. :;
She entertains delightfully."- at her
home, whist parties, little dances,
and even an occasional german.
Her name is Mrs. Barber, and she
has been twice a widow. A wo-
man who can run a ranch, build
a house, manage niue and engi7
neer a successful german, deserves
a prominent place in the ranks
Of women Of genius.

The Washing ton Encampment.

There is reason to believe that the Ma
tional encampment at Washington will be
one of the greatest in the history of the
Grand Army. The most active preparations
are in progress at the capital. Dozens of
committees are at work, posts are being
ouartered every day and money is being
raised. President Harrison has requested
Congress to appropriate 500 600 to aid in the
entertainment of the old soldiers.
A regular military camp will be laid out
in the large space back of the capitol. This
will be covered with tents, and any comrade
who desires to may camp there free OF
charge. All he needs to bring is a blanket.
Truly this will seem like old times and the
veterans will enjoy it hugely.
