tion of the presidents proclamation open.
ing the Kickapoo Indian country to settle
ment created great excitement in this
section. The coming race for farms
bids fair to equal the great rush to the

ment. Eighty-three thousand acres have
been reserved for school land purposes,

fact that New York opened 1fc lower also
assisted in making the weak opening, bat
the cables were strong and a. the session

COMPLICATED LITIGATION.
Mexican Railroad and Construction
Companies In the New York
Courts Colorado Capital
Involved.

Brooklyn, N. Y, May 21.--The case OF
Supt. Joseph A. Davidson, as assignee OF
the Mexican National Construction COM
pany, against the Mexican National rail
way for the recovery of $l97,271, with in
terest since 1886, is up for adjudication
in the supreme court at Brooklyn, before
Justice Cullen. The litigation dates back
twenty-five years, when the Mexican gov
ernment conceded certain grants for
building railways connecting the south
ern republic with the United States.
Gen. William j. Palmer organized the
Mexican National Construction company
under the laws of Colorado. This com
pany furnished a cash capital of $S,000,-
600, but this was not sufficient to carry
out the big project, and an auxiliary
company, the Mexican National railway,
was established under the laws of Colo.
RADIO.
This company, while in control of the
Construction company, had to furnish the
capital for building the main road and
several branches to San Luis Potosi and
the Pacific. For that purpose stocks and
bonds to the amount of $4,000 per mile
were issued and Hoated. The railway was
company had to make an assignment to
Mr.. Davidson, whose business was to
collect all outstanding accounts, and SO
he began suit against the railway COM
pany, which was indebted to the Con-
struction company outside of the stocks
and bonds held by the company.

STOCK NOTES.

Silver City Eagle: The cattle ship
ments from this county this year have
been larger than they have ever been be-
fore. The Santa Fe has never been so
busy hauling stock out of the territory
as it has been for the past two weeks.
Deming Headlight The Santa Fe has
received orders for 400 cars for cattle
shipments from Arizona between the 10th
and 18th Of the present month, the large
portion of which will be used here in
Deming receiving Southern Pacific ship
ments.
Lordsburg Liberal: Last Monday a
train of stock cattle, loaded at Benson
was travelling east. On top of the cars
was lot of alfalfa. Near Gage the hay
on a car near the middle of the train
caught fire, it is supposed from sparks
from the locomotive. Before the train
could be stopped the car was on fire. No
water was near and the fire could not be
put out. The burning car was pulled
away from the rear of the train and then
the front end of the train was pulled
away from the car and it burned to the
ground. The fire was so fierce the train
men could not open the doors and the
cattle all burned to death.
Clayton Enterprise: The Mexicans
have very simple sheep dip made large
ly from palma root and tar. They take
soap weed root, boil and bruise it until
it is thoroughly reduced to pulp. To
each pound of pulp they add two pounds
of tar and let it stand about week, un-
til the soap weed dissolves the tar, stir
ring it several times each day. The ad-
dition of little alcohol makes it
smoother using one half pint to the
prescribed proportion. When the tar is
thoroughly cut they add sufficient water to
reduce it to the strength required-about
five gallons which can be reduced to
twenty gallons on cleaner sheep. We
doubt the efficiency Of this dip as com
pared with lime and sulphur in curing
scab, but it is probably better prepa-
ration for the wool.

GAIL HAMILTON DYING.
CHrNA's COIN.

A careful computation of the figures
of the Chinese national debt shows that ct
the present moment it aggregates only
about el0,000,000, a sum insignificant in
view of the great resources of the nation.
Most of these loans we're paid to the
Chinese in silver, but in only two in
stances is it stipulated that they shall be
repaid in the same metal, and the balance
must be refunded in gold. In view of
this small floating debt it is believed here
the Chinese will have no difficulty in
raising the entire amount of the indem-
nifty to be paid to Japan, at low rate of
interest, the Chinese taking silver and
paying the loan in gold.

Information Wanted.

At the Mexican Veterans associa
ton at Salisbury on Wednesday
night OF last week, reference was
made by one of the speakers to a
declaration made by a prominent
politician who opposed the an.
nexation of Texas and the Mexican
war in vigorous terms, and who went
so far as TO express the hope that
"if American soldiers were sent to in
wade Mexico, they would be received
by the Mexicsns with welcome hands
to a hospitable grave"
This expression was by some at.
tributed to Tom Corwin, of Ohio,
and by others to Senstor Clay, oi
Kentucky.
Who can tell which is right?

purchases:
A set OF Kendall's mathematical
and geometrical blocks.
A 10-inch globe, with patent frame
and case.
A double-indexed International
webster's dictionary, 1895 edition.
A Rand and McNally's Gazetteer.
These articles are OF great utility
in the schools, and in the hands OF a
skillful operator will cause many an
otherwise dry lesson to be interest
ing and entertaining to the pupils.
Prof. Willis and bis excellent corps
of teachers are thoroughly awake to
the best interests OF our schools, and
should be given every encouragement
and all Of the assistance possible by
both patrons and pupils.
