lines are for through business ex-

Among the big mines there is
noticeable some increase in the
production of the Bonanza, as the
third level progresses, and in the
Snake where the number of leas-
ers is gradually increasing. The
Opportunity Is piling up ore ready
for the new furnace and will keep
all the company's teams busy for
the next two or three weeks. OF
the smaller enterprises of the camp
there is not much to report, but
that they are taking out some ore.
-Hillsboro Advocate.
We regret that it is ever neces-
sary to say anything in regard to
our town that is not to its credit;
but desire to be truthful, coupled
with the hope that a little agitation
may correct this evil, prompts us
to say that the streets in the town
generally, and Main street partlc-
ularly is a disgrace to any town
that makes any pretension Of be-
ing progressive. The sidewalks
are in a deplorable condition, and
Main street Is. a duck-pond every
time it rains. The sidewalk ordi-
nance should be enforced strictly,
and streets should be graded so
that we can dispense with stills
when it rains. The surveying for
the grade on Main street has been
done, and if thero is no other way
to secure the grading of this street,
we suggest an ordinance establish
ing frontage tax on the property.
There are not three property own
ers on the street from Alameda
Ave. to Spring River who would
object to this way of grading the
street. Roswell Record.
For the''past..week great cruelty
has been practiced on the dogs
taken up under the dog tax ordi-
nance. The poor dumb animals
have been dragged through the
streets 10y wires and kicked and
pounded in an unmerciful manner
One day last week dog was hang
ed with a wire and then beaten
with stones until almost dead. Such
cruelty is inexcusable in any COM
munity claiming to be civilized,
and if there is no other way of
stopping it, the citizens should
take a hand. The dogs impound-
ed are neither fed nor watere,l, but
when almost exhausted are put to
death by stoning The city mar
shall states that he is not a dog
catcher and does not intend to do
it, and that the city does not pro-
vide for the proper catching, keep
ing and killing Of the CANNES. He
also disclaims any responsibility
for the inhuman acts of those who
have been engaged in the dogcatch.
ing business. The city has impos-
ed tax upon dogs, and in many
cases it has been paid, and the Off.
cials must see that the ordinance
is enforced against all alike, also
; that a humane method Of eaptur-
, ing and killing the dogs is put in
use. The hundreds of useless ours
infesting this city should be dis
posed of but not in such a manner
as to cause hourly exhibitions Of
: brutality to occur on our streets
