+, time will not afford much opportunity
to clear the already large docket.
h The statement of the receiver of the es-
tate ct Meridith & Altman, recently fled in
the district court, is not only a very COM
plete and satisfactory account of W. A..
Leonard's stewardship, but as well a
document which demonstrates upon its
face the now unq fashionable fact that
there was never the slightest necessity for
the Meridith & Altman assignment.
The miners Of Grant county responded
heartily to the call of Mayor John W.
Fleming, of Silver City, who is also the
president of the executive committee of
the Southwest Silver convention. Morrill,
hall was we'll filed with representative
types of the silver industry and ample
arrangements were were made for receiv-
ing and entertaining the silver delegates
July 4, next.
Interested parties are urging the con-
! struction of railroad from Silver City
to Pinos Altos. It is said that if such a
road would be built the. cost of hauling
ore from the camp to the county capital
would be reduced more than one-half and
many mines which are now idle could be
operated with profit. 1t now seems ex-
tremely probable that there is some
thing in the proposed construction
of the Silver City and Northern
railroad from Hanover to the coal fields
at Gallup and the new coal discoveries at
Gan Augustine plains by way of the alum
beds of the Gila river.
