COCHITI GOLD MINES.

Those seeking gold dollars to cure
hard times are invited to investigate the
new gold mining camp (placer and
quartz), near Cochiti, New Mexico. As.
says show valuable pay dirt. When
Spring opens up the rush will be heavy.
Many are going in now, to be on the
ground floor.
You can reach there quickly and at
reasonable rates via Santa Fe route.
Buy tickets to Cerrillos, Santa Fe or
Wallace. Present stsgs fare to Cochiti
from Cerrillos is $3.50; from Santa Fe,
$500 and from Wallace, 800, with re.
ductIon for large parties. The mines lie
about % miles from Cerrillos, 80 miles
from Santa Fe and 20 miles from Wal
lace, and are comfortably reached from
either point over good roads by fast
stage lines.

Prominent cattle men say that the out
look for the cattle business is only fair.
Cattle are selling all over the west at
about dollar head less than last year,
owing to the lack of money. There will
very few calves dropped in the Territory
this spring because of the exceedingly
heavy shipments OF cows last year. The
spring is very favorable to success with
calves, but no cows no calves. The gov
ernment reports put the shortage Of cat
tie in the whole country at two millions,
but it is thought these figures are con-
sIderably below the actual shortage.
Cattle are in excellent condition this
spring. The ranges are IN good condi.
tion so far as the scribe could learn ex.
cept in the Penasco country and ada
cent ranges, where neither snow nor
rain has fallen aud the ground is very
dry. new organization OF the cattle
men was formed last week which in
cludes the principal ranchmen of central
New Mexico. and expects largely to in
crease it's numbers aud extend its terri
tory at its next regular quarterly meet
ing in July. The officers of the associa
ton are: President, W. {. Mcdonald OF
the Carrizozo ranch, White Oaks; Secre
tary and Treasurer, James Cree OF the
V V ranch, Fort Stanton. The minutes
OF their March meeting will be found IN

While at Lincoln last week the scribe
had friendly conversation with lead
ing attorney of Roswell regarding the
prospects for extension OF the Pecos Val
ley railroad to that place.
The gentleman said that President
Hagerman had accepted the proposition
of the city to raise bonus of S50000 as
an inducement to the company to make
the extension. The terms Of tho propo-
sition are that the extension shall be
made to Roswell or South Roswell within
eight months from the first day OF March,
current; that the deeds t. property do
mated under this proposition shall be
held i1 escrow until the extension shall
have been made as stipulated, depot
permanently located and established and
the road operated for thirty days.
The deeds have all b"en made out and
placed in escrow with the Bank Of Ros
well.
Mr. Hagerman has large interests OF
his own in the town and vicinity whose
value would be greatly enhanced by the
advent OF the road, which would natur.
ally be an incentive to him to favor the
extension on Ills own account. gem
tleman largely interested with him in
the development OF the Valley has, since
this proposition was accepted, bought
some Of the best property in Roswell,
including two lots in the business por-
tioD Of the town, on which he intends to
erect a building Of brick and stone with
n front of 100 feet. Mr.. Hagerman is in
New York ut present.
These facts give the people Of Roswell
much confidence that the whistle OF the
steed OF steel will be heard in their town
before the end OF the year-that the
building 0f the road is practically ns.
sured. II is believed that Mr.. Hagerman
can obtain the necessary capital readily
for tlIe prosecution Of the enterprise. the
estimated cost OF which is put at $3.50,
600.

One thing is painfully evident
from an examination of the dispo-
sition of criminal cases in the Dis
trict court now in session, and
that is that the taxpayers of this
county are paying entirely too
much for the amount of protection
they are getting. During last week
there were more than twenty cases
before the court, and the net re-
suit to the county was one plea of
guilty to a misdemeanor with a
five dollar fine, and the conviction
of Il hungry Mexican who had shot
n COW, with sentence of three
years in the penitentiary. For
all this the court is kept running
at an expense of 1925 a day, in
cluding the grand jury. The EA-
GLE has no fault to find with any
particular part of the machinery
of justice simply for the sake of
carping; but something is wrong.
Either the grand jury finds indict-
ments on very flimsy evidence, or
the petit jury looks on offenses
against the laws with too much le-
niency, or witnesses for the Terri
tory do not testify to the whole
truth. From n limited observa-
tion of the workings of the court
there seems to be a mixture of the
three causes mentioned. 1t is also
plain that valuable time is wasted
on trivial causes in which the peo-
pie of the county have no interest.
For example, a case involving an
original claim of 81 and $l30 costs
was carried up from n Justices
court with the single object of re-
versing the judgment to avoid the
costs. This case occupied the
court the greater part of n day, de-
laying business in which the peo-
pie at large are interested. Mean.
while the accumulation Of expcns-
es is not delayed. In such cases
judgment in the lower court ought
to be final. An examination Of
the record of the work of the court
30 FAR will show that this is no idle
criticism.

DO WE WANT IT?

The NeW Merican, commenting
on Colorado's recent troubles and
disgrace, brought on by the pug
nacious rooster who aspires to rule
the roost in that state, says:
"The short life of the Populist
party has been a stormy one. 1t
was waited into power by a breeze
created by political blatherskites
who by theirincendiary utterances
deluded the common people into
the the belief that the country was
on the verge of ruin and that if
the reins of government were once
given into their hands the evils
would all be eradicated.
"How have they fulfilled their
promises? By creating discord
wherever they could. Colorado,
Kansas and Oregon have all suff-
cred at the hands of Populists, and
yet there are those in this Terri
tory who have the assurance to
state that the Populist party will
gain a foothold in New Mexico.
They take no cognizance of the
intelligent spirit which stalks
abroad in this Territory. While
every loyal citizen must entertain
feeling of pity for the states SO
badly misruled by the Populist
party, it may nevertheless, prove a
blessing in disguise; for by their
actions they have given conclusive
evidence of their inability to rule
intelligently and thus have dug a
grave for their own party"

a GEORGIA banker writes to the
Atlanta Constitution outlining a
new plan for the security of Ma
tional bank currency, to take the
place of government bonds. His
idea is to base the circulation on
gold and silver coin held by the
Government, the latter paying the
banks two per cent on their circu-
lation and exempting it from taxa
ton. Under the present system
the Government pays from 3 to 5
per cent interest on the bonds held
for the banks and taxes them one
per cent on their circulation. The
banker argues that Government
bonds are becoming constantly
scarcer on account of their redemp-
tion and consequently command
such a premium that bankers can
not afford to buy them as basis
for their paper. Gold and silver
are not wanted for active circula-
tion, and while heaped in the
treasury vaults would sustain cir
culation good the world over and
would enable banks to furnish
money where it is needed at easy
rates to the user.
