A Marvellous Yarn.

Phoenix, A. t., Oct. 21.-B. Elliott is
in Phoenix. He is the Kansas man
whose fame arose with dream. He
dreamed that his brother, lost to his
knowledge for thirty years, had located
in Prescott, A. T., and then he dreamed
the pleasing sequel that he and his
brother Travelled to a nearby point,
where they found mine of surprising
richness. Elliott had faith in his dream.
He went to Prescott and found his
brother, strange to say. Then they
travelled to the mountains Of the dream
and found the mine. The mine has not
been developed and may not be the Col
conda of dream books and of fairy tales,
vet it is said to show remarkable rich
croppings.

Denver, Oct. 21.-A special to the

Teller arrived here last night to attend a
meeting of the supreme council of 33d
degree Masons, and will remain here un-
til Wednesday. He tells the newspaper
men that Colorado is on the eve of new
era of prosperity, caused By the increased
production of her gold output, and pre-
diets that Cripple Greek will be the
greatest mining camp in the world. He
says, however, notwithstanding the states
gold production, the people there are as
staunchly for silver as ever. While he is
not hopeful of accomplishing much in
the next session of congress, he says the
silver agitation will be continued. He
thinks the president will make an open
ing for this by recommendation for the
retirement of greenbacks.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
DAN YOUNG'S DEATH.
Colfax County's Latest Mystery Turns
Out to Be a COld-BloOded
Assassination.

Brief announcement of the death of
Dan J. Young, for years leading stock
man of Collar county, was made in these
columns on Friday last. First reports
had it that he had suffered fatal fall
from his horse while riding over the
range at his rauch near Folsom. But
such seems not to have been the case.
The Ration Reporter at hand this morn
ing says:
"wednesday about noon two children
discovered his team standing in the road
about five miles northeast of Folsom.
Not seeing any driver they looked in the
bed of the wagon where they discovered
Mr.. Young lying still as if dead. They
unhitched the horses and rode to the ranch
of Mrs. Barto Martin, Mr.. Young's sister,
about seven miles distant, who brought
him to her house. 1t was discovered that
he had been shot with large calibered
gun in the right side, the ball ranging up
ward, coming out at the breast little to
the left. The left side of his face, his left
side and arm were badly bruised.
"Mrs. Martin sent for assistance and
made every effort to revive him and
although he lived until $3.50 p. m. he never
spoke word.
"There are several theories as to the
probable cause of his murder, but there is,
as far as we have been able to ascertain,
absolutely no clue to the party or parties
who did the deed or the reason for it.
One theory advanced is that he probably
discovered some one stealing cattle or
horses and that he was put out of the way
for that reason, as it is asserted that east
ern Collar and western Union counties
are infested with a large organized band
of cattle and horse thieves"
The body was brought to Ration on
Saturday and the funeral took. place that
afternoon. The business houses, as a
mark of respect, we're closed from 2 to 4
p. m. County Superintendent of Schools
John Morrow and the members of the
city school board, of which he was one,
acted as pail bearers.
An executive proclamation was issued
to-day offering reward of 5000 for each
one implicated in this crime. Ration has
held mass meeting and Cofax county
residents will Join in offering large re-

MULLANE'S COMMENT.
The Pecos Valley Quill Driver Talks
of His TOwns-A Thrifty Re-
gi0n-ThOse P. I.&I.
designations.

Mr.. Wm. H. Mullane, editor of the
Current at Eddy and the Irrigator at
Roswell, in the famous Pecos valley, has
been in the city for several dayeattending
the church festivities. He declares the
city of Eddy to be the most beautiful
and attractive of any of its size In New
Mexico. 1t has more than thirty-two
miles of shaded streets with scarcely
tree missing. Its drainage is perfect;
clear sparkling water flowing on both
sides of all its wide streets and a COM
plete system of water works bringing
pure water from the foothills of the
Gaadalupes, three miles from town, for
culinary and fire protection purposes. A
we'll equipped fire department., electric
light, ice factory and amply capitalized
mercantile establishments make Eddy
place that any man might be proud to
call his home and more especially
when its almost perfect climate is
considered. "The amount of land
under a perfect system of irrigation"
said Mr.. Mullane, SIS 10000 acres
in the Pecos valley. Here the largest
storage reservoir on the American cont.
nent is located. Near Roswell are grown
the finest apples on earth, a reward hav-
ing been offered for the finding of a
single wormy apple. The town of Ros-
we'll which controls tract extending for
hundred miles in every direction is
peopled with the most energetic and pub
lie spirited set of business men in the
territory, and is now grading it's streets
and building more than any other town.
GAIL that the lower Pecos valley con-
tnin hoc in Ia
great farms, the Tansill farm, the Bolles
place, the Greene farms and hundreds of
smaller irrigated homes are very produc-
tive. Thousands of tons of alfalfa were
harvested this season. 1t sells at 81
ton baled and stock feeding is new in
dustry thpt will place much ready money
in the hands of the farmers.
"The designations of the T. l. & l. COM
pany officials last week, which incident
has created considerable talk over the
territory, is only what might be expected
on the completion of the building of the
great irrigation works, there being no
further necessity of the employment of
men of such callbre as w. A. Hawkins and
G. G. Blodgett, attorney and general man
ager. 1t is the general opinion that a
conservative and economical policy will
be pursued In the future and that genial
and well.respected gentlemen, Mr.. G. A.
Richardson, who has SO faithfully repre-
sented the company as assistant attorney,
will represent the company's interest in
the future in a legal way. While it is
rumored that A. s. Goetz, the present
assistant secretary and treasurer, may
occupy the position of general manager,
it is also hinted that Mr.. Goetz does not
care TO leave his present position at
Colorado Springs, otherwise the mantle
of general manager could fall on no more
worthy man than A. G. Draper, who, as
assistant auditor, has been with the COM
pany from the start and is really the best
qualified as well as the most popular man
in the Pecos valley, at Roswell and Eddy
and all intermediate points"
