Roswell and Eddy have had their base
ball contests and it is to be hoped that,
as it is direct violation Of the laws of
this territory, any games that are played
in the future will be played on a week
day and not on Sunday. Sunday ball
playing may be all right with some peo-
pie, but it is being abolished on all sides
and will be abolished in New Mexico

The output of the mines of this part of
the territory for the next few months will
be largely in excess of the output for the
two or three months past on account of
the fact that there will be plenty of water
with which to operate the mills. This
will insure the employment of large
number of additional miners and team
sters and will contribute very materially
to general revival in business in this
section.-Silver City Eagle.
