Kcarney's Gap.

From the Corsicana, Tex. Truth.
Las Vegas is in some respects a re-
matkable city. 1t has two separate
and distinct post offices located about
half a mile apart. One is Las Vegas
and the other is East Las Vegas. 1t
also h four telegraph offices, all rep
esenting different companies.
we went to look at the old DOLBY
house from the top Of which Gen,
Kearney made a speech to his troop;
in 1876. 1t was during the Mexican
war that he came through here with
his command, defeated the Mexicans
here and they retreated TO a gap in the
mountain, a few miles down the
valley. From this strtng position they
we're dislodged by Gsa. K%earney's
artillery, and that gap in the mount
ain has ever since that day been krown
as Kearney's gap.

5y raging forest. fl res:
RocIADA, N. NJ, May 2Oth.-A fierce fire
is raging about two miles west of this place
In the mountains, destroying completely
most valuable timber, part of which is OIL
government land. The guilty care.essness
of whoever started such a fire should be
looked into. The amount of timber de.
stroyed by fire in these mountains every
year exceeds the damage done by the max
ing of q few ties on the public domain by
many thousands of dollars.
Frank Blake may call Colonel Coleman's
attention to this, and get the guilty parties
punished. Ex.
1t IS claimed that these fires were
carelessly set by parties, with the In
tention Of destroying government
timber.
His excellency seems to take great
interest in laying before the public in
formation concerning the destruction
Of Uncle Sans property. We feel it
our duty to enllghten the public, and
especially your correspondent, as to
the origin of the fire. 1t originated
from truck set on fire by Messrs. Keen
and Flower, who were clearing some
land for cultivation, and spread by
catching to the piles of timber that had
been cut in former years by parties for
the purpose of speculation.
Had Colonel Coleman been then in.
formed of the timber depredations
which we're committed then, his noti-
flcation at the present time would be
unnecessary, and we would remark
that no n was better situated to
notify him than the writer Of the above
article. FRANCIS G. BLAKE.
