There is No Time Like The Present.

Incre Is NO Tine Like Inc Efeoehbs
There are certain conditions which
make the saving Of time more difficult
and complex than the saving Of money.
The latter need not always be spent for
immediate results; it can be put away
for future use, or given away for the use
Of others, or left behind for the benefit
Of successors. Time has no such posi-
bilities. 1t cannot be held, OF hidden
for s%afekeeping, or put out at interest,
or bestowed upon friends OF posterity.
We can spend it, waste Il, use it as we
will, but never keep it for ourselves or
for Others. The moment slips away, the
hour has sped, the day Is over, the year
is closed, life itself is gone; and though
results are left for good or evil, the time
has passed away never to be recalled.
What, then, is meant by saving timer
Simply so to improve its opportunities
as to produce the best results. To sit
idly by and allow the golden moments to
chase each other into the irretrievable
past, waiting for something to material
ize, Is like watching phantom shadows
Of "what might have been," or waiting
for dead mems shoes. There is a time
to act, and that time is the presents not
tomorrow, next week, or next year, but
Eowl
The Dun and Bradstreet Commercial
Agencies Indicate that the money so
long horded by iimid capitalists is now
seeking investment; the great clearing
houses OF the trade oenters of the coun-
try show reports corresponding very ia
vorably with those Of one and two years
ago; factories arc r~eopening; investments
in every line Of business are beng madei
confidence is being restored; monied
men in the east are forming excursion
parties to the west; every mail brings
letters of inquiry about Silver City
Grant County and the surrounding
country, and it behooves us as citizens
alive to our own interests TO make one
concerted, united effort in advancing
the cause Of this community.
There is not a town In this Territory
that can boast Of greater natural adyant-
ages than can Silver City. We have
everything to recommend us favorably
to people IN search Of business invest
ment, school privileges and delightful
climate. True, We have, as all communi
ties have, a few old fossilized barnaclel

PLEASING FACTS REgARDiNG SILL
YER CRY AND GRANT co.
Comparative Statements Which Re.
feet Great Credit Upon This Com
munitY.

A. reporter for the SOUTHWEST SENrI-
NEL has compiled q few statistics which
indicate that Silver City and Grant Co.
are in better financial condition than
they have been for years. In addition
TO the increased volume Of business done
by our mining, cattle and commercial
enterprises, our people are cong%ratulating
themselves upon the return Of prosper
Gus times and the evident dawn Of a new
commercial era.
While the cattlemen Of this section
made greater sales OF stock during the
year just closed than they have for
several years past, their prospects for
1894 we're never go bright. The heavy
rains Of last season revived the grass on
the ranges and the rain and snow during
the last two weeks has assured a bounti-
ful grass crop for next sumnAer. The
calf crop is estimated at fifty per cent
greater than last year, the markets have
sa upward tendancy and the outlook Is
certainly very fattering.
AS an indication Of the condition Of
tho mining industry OF this section, we
give below a statement, az shown on the
Wells, Fargo & Cos. books Of this city,
Of the amount of bullion shipped from
this point during the months Of Janua.
ry 1893 and 1894 respectively

Jan. 81 Silver. .s25.219. 90
Cold. 4,4O5. 60 ~ 29,624 .9g
Increase over SO ............ .l2,414 90
In the face of the low price of silver
the above exhibit is simply amazing and
brings forward two very substantial facts
l. g., that our mines are rich and that
their owners are intelligent and energet-
ic mining men.
AS a further evidence that money is
becoming more plentiful we cite the fol
lowing as shown by Sheriff Laird's rec
ord Of tax collections for January 1S9;
and 1891;
Jan. 93....................S 4,O4l .W
Jan. Observation-Disclosures. l5,744.2
Increase over 93............sll,69I 2
The delinquent tax list Of this city al
published by Marshal Cantley is much
smaller than in former years, showing
that money is easier with our people.
The above statements are not over
drawn, with a view to misleading IN.
quiring minds, but are absolute facts, a
gathered from reliable sources.

A very peculiar case came up in the
United States court sitting at Las Cru
ces last week. The U. S. Marshal for
this Territory sent a registered summons
to John A. Raithel, at Deming, COM
handing him to appear and serve as a
grand juror at the present term Of court.
Raithel having moved from Deming some
months ago and located in Sheridan,
Wyoming, the postmaster at Demi0g
promptly forwarded the lettor to Mr.
Raithel at that place. Ralthel having
severed his residence connection with
this Territory was in a quandry as TO
his duty in the matter. he made dill
gent inquiry Of legal authorities in his
town, but they, not being familiar with
our law in regard to the question in
point, Raithel concluded that the only
thing to do was to comply with the de-
mands Of the summons. Accordingly
he presented himself and demanded bis
mileage which amounted to 500 Then
arose the question Of bis eligibility 70

been called. aud after affirming that he
was no longer a resident Of this Terri
tory he was excused, but not, however
until the mileage had been paid. The
