CHINESE NEVER SAVE LIFE.

Much has been written of the pc
culiarities and eccentricities of the
Chinese, but it is not generally
known that the people of the Cele-
tial empire will not rescue one an
other from accidental death.
At fire in San Francisco several
years ago six Cinnamon were impris-
oned in a room by three half-inch
iron bars which could have easily
been broken away. There were two
or three ladders in the neighborhood
which could have been placed at the
windows and the unfortunates easily
rescued from horrible death. There
were hundreds of their countrymen
looking on at their efforts 10 escape.
Yet they offered no assistance and
gave no evidence of sorrow, says
Fire and Water.
A man who has saved many lives,
in speaking to Chinese, once said
they were very heartless, and cited
this San Francisco fire as a sample,
whereupon the Celestial exclaimed
81 tell you. You sabee Joss, Col
Almighty, alice sameP Chinaman

Call him anything, alice samee. Now

TERRITORIAL.

Hon. r. b. Catron, who is about
as vitality interested as any citizen of
this county and territory in the mat
ter, will leave at an early day for the
city of Washington to work for the
passage of bill for the rebilding of
the capitol building in this city
New Mexican.
The Citizen was informed last
night by gentleman who has just
arrived from Mexico, and who went
north on a freight this afternoon,
that he saw Chas. Maston, the alb
sconding ex-city marshal, in Zacate-
cas- a few days ago, and that he was
living high.
1t is something of a reflection on
Albuquerque as a convention town to
state that the delegates from Grant
were compelled to hire the band or
do without music, and as they were
so accustomed to music they put up
willingly. Silver City is the only
town in the territory with style
enough to entertain strangers-Silver
City Enterprise.
J. M. Dean gave check on the
Silver City National bank, knowing
he had no funds on deposit. This
fact was proved and Dean was sen
fenced to two years in the penitenti
airy for so doing. If every man who
had issued a check in Grant court y
OH bank in which he had no funds
received this penalty, the penitenti
airy would be overhowing.-Lords
burg Liberal.
The investigation into the origin
of the fire that consumed the New
Mexico capitol is progressing; it il
being had by the capitol commission
and is being conducted by Solicitor
General Bartlett. When it is fin
ished the matter will receive the con
sideration and treatment it deserves
in the meantime it looks very mucl
as if the charges, that the fire was Of
a genuine incendiary origin, are alb
solutely true.ANew Mexican.

The message to pupils recently IS
sued by the executive committee of
the national Columbian public school
celebration speaks vigorous word
to every one of the several million
American boys and girls. How far
the word will have effect depends
upon each individual boy and girl.
Once enlisted in the movement they
will feel the stimulus that comes
from being in great movement, one
of a mighty mass, working for a
common end. When that end is the
glory of such a country as ours, is il
not worth little sacrifice?
We hope that the pupils in oui
public schools will be as enterprising
in moving in this matter as those in
any other place in the state.
Our schools should move with
equal step on that day with all Other
schools throughout tire republic.
Failure to participate in this ma
tional demonstration will doubtless
be cause for regret in later years t.
all pupils who permit themselves t.
be left out.

AN IMMENSE RESERVOIR.

A company has been organized at
Phoenix, Arizona. for the construc-
ton of one of the largest artificial
reservoirs in the world. The site is
Box canon, 400 yards below the juno
ton of Tonic and Salt rivers. The
height of the dam is to be 200 feet
and the back water will extend six
teen miles, to Sierra Anchmens, max
ing a capacity, according to the
report of the county surveyor, of
l0S, 05s, 040,s0O cubic feet of water.
Owing to the abundance of lime
rock, timber and other building ma
terials on the ground, the cost of the
building is not expected TO exceed
Sl,50O,OOO. The reservoir will have
a capacity to irrigate all lands of the
Gila, Verde and Salt valleys from
the point where the water is taken
out to the Colorado river at Yuma.
The enterprise is backed by New
York capital.

The Santa Fe New Mexican is
calling on every citizen of the ancient
city to pitch in and work for the
place at once and as hard as possible.
1t evidently realizes that it has a
hard fight on its hands to keep the
capital there under the present circum-
stances. In its Saturday edition it
says that Hon. T. Il. Catron will
take a trip to Washington in few
days to try and induce congress to
appropriate the money to rebuild the
capitol.

"Prof. G. S. Ramsey, of Las
Vegas, one of the leading educators
of the territory, was south bound
passenger this morning. The pro.
fessor is being urged for appoint
ment as president of the territorial
university. In the opinion of the
Reporter it would be an excellent
selection. San Marcial Reporter.
We should be glad to see the pro-
fessor at the head of the university,
as we know his well known push
and enterprise would make a success
of it from the start. Our only OBJ
lection is that we should hate to
lose him from Las Vegas.

We hope that Col. Ingersoll can

One of the heaviest laden trains

There seems to be no more news
about the Las Vegas grant. We hope
that the recent opinion of the secre'
tary can be depended on as final
as when the new railroad comes we
want to have all land titles settled
and out Of bsway. 1t would be a
very hard blow to our expected
'-Prosperity If, after tie road got here,
we should still have the grant fight
on our hands and no outside real es-
tate sales could be made. We un-
derstand that the secretary's final

not yet been received.

MONDAY, MAY 16, 1892.

Las Vegas has the location and
natural resources for big city, and
if she don't make one it will be the
fault of her business men. To
build a large city requires men of
energy and push, and lots of hard
work.

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building of dimensions 60xl40 feet
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook AMI cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

In few minutes talk with Gov.
Prince Saturday he stated that he
had great hopes that congress would
appropriate money and order the i'm
mediate rebuilding of the capitol.
1t would be unfortunate If it should
be taken up and fight be made on
moving it away from Santa Fe, as it
would be almost sure to result in the
election of a "boodle" Legislature,
with all the evils attendant on such
a body. The governor has great
faith that the people of New Mexico
will under all circumstances retain
the capital where it is now located.

The most encouraging news we
have seen lately is that we printed
Saturday, taken from the Denver
News, that the representative of
some English and Scotch capitalists
had been in Denver to see what
amount of bonds the Short Line
would float and what the resources
of the road would be. When capt.
talists begin TO make inquiries of
this kind we can depend upon it that
it will not be hard to ind men to
take hold and build it. There is not
a projected railroad in the country
that will begin to pay as well as the
Denver q El Paso Short Line.

So much has been written about

to contain properties esp ecially
