Business Change.

John b. Abel has bought the inter-
est of Mr.. James Clark in .he Depot
Hotel, and Mr.. Clark that of Hender-
son Green in the Humboldt House.
The Depot Hotel, after the LIST Ct
February, will DO managed by Green
& Abel, and Mr.. CLARK will remove to
the Humboldt House and conduct
that business.
Mr.. Clark has been manager Of the
Depot Hotel for nearly nineteen
years and his genial face and pleasant
smile will be sadly missed by the
travelling public and the citizens of
Eiko. May prosperity so with him
and may he live many more years to
gladden. the hearts of those who stop
at the Eden of Nevada, the humboldt
House.
The INDEPENDENT wishes the new
firm Of Green G. Abel success in the

A VIIloInous Business.

One of the most prosperous industries
in Paris is the sale and disposal of horse
flesh for food. There are in the city of
Paris $50 shops for the sale Of horse
flesh, and in the course of this year
more than $1,000 horses, 81 mules and
275 donkcys have been killed and eaten
by the Pari1ians. The most singular
point about this traffic is that the price
of the flesh is equal to that of good beef,
90 cents pound. 1t is only fair, how
ever, to add that two-tllirds Of this
meat has been converted into sausagcs,
so that it is more than possible that tho
consumers are ignorant of the source Of
their toothsome dish. It is now easy TO
understand how it is that good horses
arc so scarce in tho Paris flacres; ut 20
cents a pound fat horse would be
worth more when he was dead than
alive.

EARLY CHRISTIAN RECORDS.
Interesting Documents Found In a Tomb
In Upper Egypt.

Interesting Documents Found In q Tomb
In Upper Egypt.
Great interest has been created in
literary and ecclesiastical circles in
Europe ~ the recovery from a tomb in
upper Egypt of some old codices which
Prof. Harnacl was the first to recognize
as fragments of some of the earliest
Christian records, supposed to have been
irretrievably lost. They arc three in
number. One OF them bears the title:
''Thc Revelation of Peter" 1t is a
prophetic book, resembling the Apoc-
alypse of st. John and was quoted Us a
sacred Scripture" by the great Chris
tan teacher, Clement, of Alexandria,
in the second century after Christ. 1t
is supposed to have been written by the
Apostle Peter. Another is: 1.-The Cos
pei of Peter" q narrative of the life of
Christ. similar to those of the four Cos
pcls, and containing some curious varia-
tions in the account of the cruciiiXion
and resurrection. 1t was in use in the
second century, especially in the Syrian
communities, and was at first admitted
by the ecclesiastical authorities, but
afterward stigmatized as agnostic. 1t,
too, is supposed to have been written
by st. Peter. The third codcx contains
considerable fragments of the book of
Enoch, n prophetic book which was of
high authority among the carly Chris
tians, but the origin of which is uncer-
tain. The ascription of it to the Old
Testament patriarch "who walked with
God" is, of course, a mere literary fic-
ton. A translation of the fragment of
the Gospel of st. Peter" has appeared
already at Cambridge university. Prof.
! Harnacl1's full report will be published
at the end of the year.

A MOUSE IN HER HAT.
But She Was Not Frightened So Much
ms tho Clerk.

ms tho Clerk.
A recent San Francisco dispatch
says: One day tins week n lady went to
n Fourth street store to make some
purchases. She engaged Il young clerk
in conversation concerning various
articles. While talking to her the
clerk CHANGED to look at her hat. 1t
moved slightly. Then he looked again,
and again the feminine headGear was
perceived to be in motion. The young
man turned pale and his tongue did
clcnve to the roof of his mouth. Like
one suffering with nightmare, he
wanted to scream, but could not. All
the time tho lady's hat kept moving in
n peculiar way. The young man kept
his gaze on the hat-for. some reason
unknown to himself he could not do
otherwise. Presently he saw ono side
of the hat raise up; then n pair of
sharp, bright eyes pccrcd out. The
next instant out FROM under the hat
jumped a mouse. 1t landed upon the
pale young clerks shoulder and he ran
into the street yelling like Comanche.
ugh! what was thatr; screamed the
lady.
"It was q mouse, and he jumped out
of your hat" answered the pale young
clerk between his chattcring teeth.
And SO it was. The lady mad taken
up her hat care lcssly, put it on and
worn it to tho store. On the way, she
said, she felt something moving in her
hat, but thought it was the breeze
moving in her hair. She was greatly
surprised at the Developments, but not
SO frightened as the pale young clerk.

The subject OF this sketch was born
in the State Of Pennsylvania in July,
1889, and was ia his fifty-fourth year.
In 1862, he went to the State of
Oregon and in 1859 came to Elko
county, settling at Mountain City,
where he resided up to the time OF
his death.
Mr.. Ross was an energetic business
man and, seeing the capabilities Of
Elko county, engaged in the sheep
and cattle business, In which he
amassed handsome fortune various.

He was taken i'll on the 5tb of last
December and though he had the
best medical attendance procurable,

and baffled the skill Of the attending
physicians.
The deceased left q will giving

and bequeathing the remainder to his
heirs in the East. This generous gift
will enable the trustees to complete
the new church according to the plans
and leave it free Of debt. The INDIE
PENDENT suggests that the trustees,
in honor OF the donor, name the
church the Ross Presbyterian church
Of Elko. This would b. a fitting
testimonial to the generosity of the
deceased aud might be an induce

His remains, accompanied by his
brother and Mr.. Prudential, of
Mountain City, arrived from Tusca-
rora Saturday afternoon and were
placed on No. 3 and shipped to Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, for interment.
In his death Eko county has lost
one OF its most substantial citizens,
universally esteemed for his unpre-
tentious worth. His untmely taking

hearts of his friends.
May the clods of tho prairie rest
lightly on his grave.

are there now and they continue to come
daily. I can say that, as regards min

thereabouts than have ever seen in any

New Mexico.
"Were that new TOWNSHIP and the Taos

except in general way to express regret
that Fred Gayle had been let out of the
Roswell receivership, after having been
appointed by the president and confirmed
by congress.

TIJERAS UNDERTOOK.
Arrangements About Completed for
Development of Great Water
Project at. Albuquerque.

Col. J. Frank Chaves returned last
night from Denver. He is feeling rather
cheerful over the result Of his trip, for
while there he, in company with John D.
Torlina, president of the Tijeras Water
company at Albuquerque, and Judge
Warren, practically completed arrange
ments for securing all the capital neces-
sary to perfect the Tijeras water enter
prise, Denver men agreeing to put up the
capital if after examination the project
proves equal to the representations of its
promoters. There Is no difficulty about
this, as experts of high repute have sew
eral different times examined the water
flow and the company's plans for utilizing
it and in every case have the reports been
most favorable.
1t will require about $250,000 to COM
plete the enterprise and as matters now
| look active construction work will be
commenced inside of sixty days..
Not only for Albuquerque, but for the
whole territory, the success of this under
taking means great deal. lijeras canon
is seventy-fve feet in width and on its
bed rock, some thirty feet below the sur
face, is an underAow Of water that seems
we'll nigh inexhaustible. Experts reckon
this flow at 25,0O0,OO0 gallons for every
twenty-four hours. Immense pumps
operated through cuts in the earth at
various points and depths have been
used to reach this estimate, and
it is calculated that the ordi-
nary flow of water from the
canon is sufficient to irrigate 1000 acres
of land situated on the mesa east of Al
buquerque. By the construction of stor-
age reservoirs much larger area can be
covered. The land is SO located that
these canon waters can be brought out
aud down upon it at small cost when
com parison is had with the value of the
land when given permanent supply
for irrigation and domestic purposes.
The success of the undertaking will be
watched with great interest, for there are
innumerable points in New Mexico where
just such a system of water development
will certainly follow.
