Very respectfully yours,
3. s. BARTLETT,


Probably, however, Mr.. Thielmann
will still refuse 10 accept the -0pinion Of
the solicitor general and everybody else,
aud will, according to his own words,
construe the law "as 1 understand it"
There have been two terms Of court held
in Grant County since Mr.. Thielmann
came into Office, why did he not bring
the matter Of the name of the district up
before the court il he thought it was
wrong? Either because he knew The name
was not a wrong one lin which case the
malice andspite OF his conduct are very
plain); or else because he was 30 ignorant
Of the powers and duties Of his Office that
he thought be could usurp the powers
OF a court, and so foolish as to believe
that his unframed understanding" Of
the law was what should govern him in
stead Of the official opinion Of the solicitor
general In any case the matter on
this point nov stands thus:
Mr.. Thielmann SAID he received no
enumeration from this precinct, we have
proved that he did receive it. Mr.. Thiel-
mann has arrogated to himself the right
10 decide a matter which belongs exclu-
sively TO the district court and acting
on his wi illegal decision be is now
keeping this district out Of money which
belongs 10 It and which it badly needs.
Mr.. Thielmann may try to bluff of the
investigation INTO his wrongdoing by
s~hrieking "You're a lisrlD or he may
try to turn the tide Of public indigna-
tion by making a false appeal for
sympathy, but he can not hide
the fact that this aud other school dis
tricts in the County are In debt and sur
fering from want Of money belonging
10 them which be Is the cause OF their
not having. The SOUTHWEST SENTINEL
reiterates its urgent request 10 the Coun-
~ Commissioners TO investigate the
serious charges which we have made
against this man, and on their. being
proved demand that be be removed from
the Office which he has used, not for the
advancement Of the cause Of education,
but AZ a position from which he could
tyrannize owe the people and use as a
means for exhibiting his Ignorance, folly
and spite. We sincerely hope that school
districts, school teachers and parents all
through the County win aid on the good
work for bis removal, 30 that the former
good condition Of Grant County schools
may Be resained and the cause OF educa.
tion proceed instead Of going backwards

Mining and Milling.

silver, 691s
d. Q. Hobart, who returned from
Hillsborough last Wednesday, reports
that camp as being in n very healthy
condition. The three gold mills, in
Guiding the Standard with a 20 stamp
capacity, are running at high pressure.
The Mamie Richmond, Good Hope Bo-
nanza, Standard, Bob Tail and Opportu-
nifty mines, together with the mills and
smelter in operation treating their pro-
ducts, furnishes employment for about
300 men, and there are Mt least 100 men
engaged in placer mining at that place.
Bell & Stephens, of Pinos Altos, who
are always "in the harness." are as usual
pushing their gold properties vigorously.
Their mill is running night and day on
ores from their Ohio and Pacific mines.
The Manhattan company of Pipos AL
tos, are still driving their Aztec tunnel,
and they hope in a few days TO tap the
rich vein of orc which it has cost so
many thousands Of dollars to reach.
The Skillicorn mill at Pines Altos has
been temporarily closed down, pending
some repairs being made on the
property. The ore from the Skillicorn
mine, in the mean time, will be treated
at the Mammoth mill.
The smelter, which was recently burn
cd at IvaDhoe, is soon to be replaced by
two new stacks already ordered and
when operations are again commenced
the plant will be greatly enlarged with
facilities for handling the products Of
the company's mine on a larger scale
than formerly.

The fair given by the Young Ladies'
Guild Oh last Friday afternoon and even
ing proved a SPLENDID success. The ar
ticles offered for sale were elegant, use
ful and cheap. It IS to the credit Of the
young ladies' that they ignored all fakes
and snaps so commonly practiced at
church fairs and sold their articles upon
their merits. AS a result Of their bust
ness-like methods, nearly everything was
sold, and their friends who ~patronized
them felt that they had been nicely
treated and not robbed. The net pro.
ceeds amounted to 800.

The Deming Land and Water Com

no doubt advance rapidly, it is a good

healthy and delightful place can be
found in the southwest. Rapid railroad

Not All Smoke.

The SOUTHWEST SENTINEL has been
rather skeptical in regards to the report
ed revolution on the border between
Mexico and the United States, and while
the reports sent to the associated press
smack of sensationalism, yet there is no
doubt that they contain some fact. II
the real condition is one half as bad as
the following special to the El Paso
Times would indicate, it is certainly
very serious, and before an adjustment
of the difficulties between the opposing
factions is arrived at, tho loss of human
life will be great. 1t is quite evident
from the information at hand that Gov,
Ahmuada, of chihuahua, is very alert
and that cautious and forcible move
ments are making TO crush out the reb-
els. The rebels, in turn, are being rein
forced daily and their plan Of warfare is
such that it will be a difficult matter to
rout them from their strongholds:
DEMNo, N. NJ, Dec. 13-A courier
reached Las Palomas last night, bring
ing reports to General Hernandez, who
is in charge Of the government troops in
the state of chihuahua, and who has
been at Las Palomas investigating the
border troubles, of a battle between the
troops and revolutiOnists nea COlonia
Juarez, in the Sierra Madre, last Fri
day morning. General Hernandez at
once left for the south with a strong
body guard. While hunting for the
rebel camp the soldiers came across one
hundred rebels under command Of San
tana Perez. Fighting began at once and
continued for several hours, when the
troops we're compelled to retreat in dis
order. The rebels had the advantage Of
position, being in a mountainous region
and fought from ambush. The rebels
lost twenty five and the government over
one hundred-R conservative estimate.
Reports place the government loss at
three hundred. Both sides had many
wounded.
The government officials at Las Palo-
mas admit the reports Of a battle to be
correct, but are exerting every means
within their power TO suppress informa'
ton. ANY natives talking about the
battle are Immediately locked up and nc
one acquainted with the facts are allow
ed TO cross the line. Similar action has
been taken by the officials in all the
towns in the northern portion OF
the state, The details will prob.
ably never be known. The courier
who brought the information was imme.
diatoly sent south after delivering toe
dispatches. The rebel forces we're badly
depleted by the fight and we're unable
to follow up their advantage. Several
officers were killed.
