the rags, and then leave them to be

cutting rags even, they make very
handsome mats, especially il there were

lengths six and one-hslR feet long (or

use them to cover the 6ed-springs under

wear Of the mattress cover, besides pre-
venting much dust arising from sweep

Csrpeting is heavy enough to stay in
place, and answers the purpose better
than anything else we ever tried. Of
course, there are always short pieces Of
old carpet that can be used in front OF
doors or stoves, ETC., but if the room was

pieces to come out Of the old carpet, and
one wishes for some way to put them to

Washington aO an Educational Center.

Washington as an Educational Center.
The indication is at present that Wash.
ington, the National capital, will In due
time become q great educational center.
It will soon have three universities-tbe
Catholi9, the Columbian and the Metho-
dist-snd these, in connection with the
Smithsonian Institution and one or two
other National institutions, give the
city prestige in point Of education that
no other city has. Agrest many educs-
tionsl experts are in Washington, and it
is the place whore the opportunities Of q
special education are great. Perhaps no
other city in America offers the same
facilities which are presented by the
capital Of the nation for special study
and direction, and the fact that three Of
the largest bodies OF Christians in this
country have located their leading In
stitutions at Washington shows what the
tendency OF the future 10 to be. It is
possible to see more to the square inch
In Washington than anywhere else, and
the city has steadily grown iE the last
half century in Importance, in renOwn
and influence and in prestige. 1t is not
unlikely that more universities will be
speedily erected within its borders, and
that they will acquire great influence
from their location.-Bo Herald.

wanted.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden. March s.--F. p. White, z. Ger
ard ana S. G.. White have undoubtedly
struck big thing in claim they have
been developing near Golden. They have
been sinking shaft to depth of some
thing over 100 feet aeep and cross cut
ting from the bottom of same. They
have in sight body of mineral bearing
rock, or it may now be called ore, on
which no assays have been made until
day before yesterday, when an averaged
test assay was made giving return OF
$26 per ton in gold
II this whole body will run the same it
certainly is big thing to the owners.
The gold bearing mineral is in snlphuret
shape and Of course ia refractory, but
these days such ores can be easily treated
at good large profit.
Here is another example of the benefit
derived from development. II these
parties had been contented to let this
shaft "rest" at fifty feet they would have
had nothing, while now three times fifty
feet of work gives them mine, which
can, with little moro expense, be put in
good producing shape.
We nave hundreds more of prospects
here which only need depth to make them
equally as valuable. We are becoming
more strongly convinced with every new
discovery that this section has mineral
resources the extent ana value OF which
will be astonishing when they are ex-
plored and developed in practical and
judicious manner.
We think it would be well for the d. l.
r. e.. officials to look carefully into the
immense possibilities of this section as a
future field of traffic before deciding upon
any permanent route south to Albuquer.
que. We are surprised that the Albu-
oueroue Citizen should not see that a
route from Santa Fe south through Ger.
rilos and this section would be of greater
benefit to that city than the river canon
route.
There is no comparison, looking at il
in a general business light, between the
two proposed routes and the amount OF
traffic that each would yield.
The route through here and by way oil
Tiieras canon would pass through pro-
| uuCtlVe country dlHlosI tie euttio oiS'
lance from Espanola to Albuquerque.
The d. & r. G. has a good line to Santa
Fe, needing the third rail to make it com.
plete, and from Santa Fe south to Ger.
rillos is a direct and easy route, and con
timing on south through this mining
section will be cheaper in the end than
building line on tho treachsrous Rio
Grande bottoms.
Taking everything into consideration
we can not see why this should not be the
most feasible and by far the most prefer
able route. 1t certainly would be the
most profitable one for the railroad com
pany and would bring more business to
Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Denver char
the river route. We have faith to believe
} that, after fully considering the matter
and exploring the country tributary tt
the two proposed routes, the preference
will be given the one via Cerrilos, Colder
and Tijeras.
