J. I. Newman has finished repainting
and papering the Southern Hotel. He
did a very neat job and now the interior
Of the Southern is neat as a new pin.
Mayor Fleming is commencing IN good
season to arrange for the silver conven-
ton and this city can be depended upon
to give the delegates who come here
next July a royal welcome.
This is a good time to commence work
on the proposed side walks. The prison
ers ought to get TO work before the
weather gets 30 warm hat it will be I'M
comfortable for them to labor.
Trees are being planted on the school
grounds in this city. This example is-
worthy of emulation by our citizens, for
nothing adds more to the appearance of
a town than shade trees.
Some inquiring fellow has discovered
that mesquite beans are an excellent
substitute for coffee and it is expected
that from this time on the beans will
be found in market in competition
with coffee. The mesquite grows in
abundance in southern New Mexico and
Texas.
The time which was fixed for COM
mencing work on the railroad south
from Deming is near at hand and the
people of that town are looking forward
with hope for better times. The road
will be Of great advantage to Deming.
Every man in Silver City who is inter
ested in silver, either directly or indi-
rectly, should attend the meeting tomor-
row night to make arrangements for the
Southwestern Silver Convention which
will be held here on the 4th Of July.
This will be the most important conven-
ton ever held in Silver City and'itting
preparations must be made for it.
-
Last Sunday was one Of the worst
days ever seen in this part of New Mex
leo. During the afternoon the air was
filed with dust and a number of Silver
City people who we're out driving had
disagreeable experiences getting back to
town. A light snow fell during the
night but nearly all of it disappeared
yesterday.
Senator Hall and Representative Lady
did good work in the late Legislature and
Grant County has nothing to complain
Of. They secured appropriations for
both hospitals here and did good work
in getting the normal school bill through.
This has been tried before but Silver
City never succeeded in getting a Terri
torial institution of any kind until this
session of the legislature.
Some extracts which purport to be
from a letter written by r. M. Nixon act
ing comptroller of the currency, to q. II.
Dane in 1890 show very conclusively that
the comptroller of the currency under
stood the condition Of affairs in the Dane
banks here and at Deming at that time.
The letter was written nearly ayear and
a half before the banks we're closed.
The new law creating normal schools
at this place and Las Vegas provides
that the regents Of these institutions
shall be owners Of real estate. An ex-
animation Of the tax roll of this county
fails to show that d. P. Carr, of this City,
pays taxes on real estate ia this county.
The board should see that none of its
members are ineligible as serious con-
sequences might result.
Silver City is pretty well represented
on the various boards which are appoint
cd by the Governor. Robert Black is a
member of the board Of regents Of the
agricultural college; H. H. Belts is a
member Of the penitentiary board;
Thomas Foster is a member of the board
Of immigration, and j.. w. Fleming, II.
l. Pickett and d. P. Carr are members
Of the board Of regents of the Silver
City normal school
The trial Of Charles II. Dane which
was set for this term of the United States
court at Las Cruces has been postponed
to the September term and his bond has
been reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.
Thomas B. Catron who was in the east,
was employed to defend Dane and the
case was postponed OF the himsy pretext
that Catron could not get to Las Cruces
to try the a 8 Catron returned TO Santa
Fe last week and it is believed by many
that It was an arranged plan to gain time
and lessen the chances Of conviction.
The Silver City Enterprise and the
county commissioners seem to be having
quite a row. The Enterprise presented
a bill for printing at the last meeting Of
the Commissioners and the bill was not
acted on. Other bills we're also presented
that we're acted on. To the Enterprise
this seems 10 have been acrime, anarchy
and high treason. In other words it has
often happened that bills have been pre-
sented that were not acted on but never
was auch "A row mazda n Looks az this
