A section 30xS2 of the second floor

Fifteenth street in Moline, fell with
a crash at 10 minutes before last

The upper floor was loaded with

and season Of permanent prosperity
will be opened up for our flock masters
Up to this time the present season has
been one of remarkable good luck for
New Mexico in this branch of industry.
1t is doubtful if there ever was in the
territory before 80 fortunate season
for Landing. The range grass has been
good, the spring weather perfect, follow
ing mild winter, and as result it is no
uncommon thing to hear sheep raisers
assert that the lamb crop will just about
double their focks.
The average increase all over New Mex
leo this year is not far from 80 per cent
which is record not to be equalled by
any other quarter of the United States
The wool clip also is turning out heavy
and if all signs do not fail, and the flock
masters are wise and struggl along to
hold their wool for yet time, they
will make good profits out of the 10
to II cent prices that bid fair to rule
before the 1st of September. This seems
to be the Judgment of students of the
present situation, and the NEW MExIoAN's
advice to sheep raisers is to keep their
eyes on the market and follow the above
hints as closely as possible.

What will attract attention in the tore

number of convictions. That thirty-two

should result in conviction, must be mat
ter of establishment to everyone who ex-

A REMARKABLY RECORD.

The April term of the district court was
the most important and profitable ever
held IN this county, and it is doubtful if
its equal in these particulars has ever
been known in this territory. This can
be readily seen by the following list of
thirty-fve cases, brought to trial, of which
thirty-two resulted in conviction. For
this unaccustomed activity in passing
cases through court, too much credit
can not be given to the presiding judge,
Hon. Thos. Smith, chief justice of the
territory. Judge Smith, both at Mora
and in the court here, showed himself to
be thoroughly fearless, edevoted to the
punishment of crime and the detection of
the criminal, faithful in attention to his
duties, quick and accurate in his deci-
sions, and while scrupulously courteous
in his demeanor, requiring visitors to re-
spect the dignity of the court and lawyers
to he prompt in attention to their cases.
To Judge Smith and the excellent jurors
whom the court secured, the people of
San Miguel county must ever be under
obligations for the results secured.

SILVER DICK BLAND.

There is nothing the matter with Mr..
BANDS silver policy in itself. The diff
ticulty exists in the fact that Wall street
influence has too close hold upon the
present congress for his work to become
effective, and hence our only hope of
relief within any sort of reasonable time
is in consenting to Mr.. Cleveland's view
of the situation and resting on our oars
so automatically az to force England,
Germany and other foreign powers to
some action toward rehabiitating silver
as money. The NEW MEXICAN has moth
ing but the highest admiration for Mr..
Bland and his earnest efforts in behalf of
silver, but it does think he lacks some
what in displaying good craftsmanship
when, in spite of the knowledge that
every element is against his success at
this time, he persists in pressing another
free coinage bill upon the present con-
gress. We are glad to see that he himself
has about reached the conclusion that it
is useless task, and will lay by fora while
and store up his splendid moral forces
for a more vigorous attack upon mono
metallism later on.

for its "Fast Mail" train between Denver
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and St. Louis; leaving Denver at soc
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. m.
and Pueblo at 700 p. M, and arriving al
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis al
6:55 a. M, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
a direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphi
and Washington, D. G., and all inter.
mediate points.
This will enabl passengers from Colo.
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific "Fast
Mail" at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. G..
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over

MINERAL ON GRANTS,

The U. s. supreme courts decision, an
nounced on Saturday afternoon in the
New MEx1oAN's Geographic report, that
the governments grant in the northwest
to the Northern Pacific railroad does not
carry title to the mineral lands situated
within the exterior boundaries OF the
grant, is a significant victory for the min.
ing fraternity. The NEW MEXICAN is
gratitied to take note Of this fact, as it
knows the miners of New Mexico will be-
By its charter this road was given
alternate sections of land forty miles each
side of its track, excepting the mineral
lands, but the question has arisen in nu-
merous lawsuits whether the title was for
those sections which were known to con-
tain mineral deposits when the grants
took effect or also for all lands in which
the mineral deposits have since been dis
covered.
Circuit court decisions have placed the
first construction upon the grants, and
this has been test case of Richard P.
Borden against the Northern Pacific be-
fore the supreme court for more than q
year. The supreme court holds in effect
that the mineral lands are reserved from
the grant, to be occupied by the discov-
erer under the government laws prescrib-
ing rules for acquiring mineral rights
Upon its decision depended the title to
all the recently discovered mineral wealth
along the Northern Pacific for an eighty
mile belt across the whole width of the
state of Montana and part of Idaho. 1t
is an encouraging straw tending to show
how the highest judicial authority in the
land stands on subject that is of more
or less Importance to most of the south
western states and territories.

Why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con.
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS,
Because its service is uniformly good
