believed to be one of the best yields
that has ever been realized anywhere.

NEW MEXICO COAL MINES.

From tho New Mexican.
Hon. J. G. Spears, United States
mine Inspector, is in the city en- route
to Amargo and Monero. He has just
inspected the coal mines at Blossburg
and finds everything in very 1ne shape
there. There are over 800 men en-
pleyed there, and the daily shipments
amount to about 400 tons. In about
four months encouragement will in
crease the output to over 1900 tons
daily. The new tail rope system
which is to bring about this increase,
will be completed about the middle Of
August. The United States statutes
governing the operations of coal mines
are being complied with under Supt
Mathew Wilson.
At Gallup three out of seven coal
mines are at work; during the last two
weeks the mines under operations
have been running two days out Of
seven, and the prospect is not very en-
couraging for a greater amount Of
work for the next six weeks.
The Santa Fe Railroads coal mines
at Carthage will in all probability, be
closed down for good. The force
there is being reduced steadily, and
as soon as houses are vacated or mach
inery becomes idle, such are taken up
and shipped to the Cerrillos coal
fields.
Mr., Spears is now preparing his an
nual report to date, June 30, 1893.
He has done mighty good work in his
office, and this is being appreciated by
the coal miners'and operators in New
Mexico.

papers OF great Importance came to
her, and thinking that his essay was
the one thing in the world worth

seemed bit of lesson to me.
Do we handle with care the disa-
greeable opinions we have of other
people2 If we did. they would not
find out how much we dislike them.
Do we handle with care the wo-
man whose mind is tainted with
envy, and whose speech is full of

lend the listening ear to her.
Do we handle with care the little
people who come to use If we did
we would have honorable sons and

Do we handle with care our four

get a harvest of affectionate barks,
