communication from Judge Sibly
on behalf of the L.. r Il NJ. Ry Co,
appears IN this issue. Replying thereto
We append a statement from Judge
Cowan. IRE TIMES comedies the
truth of the statement that the railroad
is willing to allow the road to cross
their right of way and track if the ap
proaches are bnilt without expense to
them, and if the county will agree to
maintain them, tins relieving the com
pany from all or any responsibility
which they would incur if maitained
10y them. But under the law AS we
understand it, this is an unreasonable
demand, and one which the county
judge very properly refuses to accept.
We contend that under the law, the
company required to both build and
maintain this crossing and the APP
proaches, and the fact that they refuse
To do 50, and have gone into the courts
To prevent the county from building it,
which they proposed to do without cost
to the company in older to expedite
matters, Is su tlicient ground for the ar
ticle To which Judge Sibly objects, and
which appeared in these columns "a
short white ago. We see no grounds
for changing the views therein express
ed. but on the contrary, are more than
ever convinced that the railroad will
n0struct this road on the ground of
technicalities rs long as allowed to do
So. The matter will be contested, and
we are led To believe the county Judge
will insist upon the rights of the coun-
Ito cross the road. and that the COM
pany shah maintain the crossing and
approaches, and assume the RESPONSE

querque Democrat that, perhaps owing tc
the fact that it was overlooked in the gen
eral excitement and not informed as to thu
particulars, 1t did not know the land or
which all the gold was found up there be.
longed to a private person, and that fol
this reason the people Ia the vicinity did
not wish to take out more gold than they
could conveniently take along, with
the consent of the owner, but that as soon
as deeds have been secured, they will send
to the minis in larger quantities. So far
as diamonds, rubies and sspphires are con
cerned, they are more abundant, and any
one that pleases picks them up; they are
as free as the air to anyone finding them,
the Democrat included.
1t seems tohurt their ambition up there
to have the Democrat speak SO positively
and discouragingly about such facts as have
already been SO well established, but the
public generally undoubtedly believe the
reports, Notwithstanding the Democrats
assertions, and that the Albuquerque pa

All Citizens Invited to Visit the City Of the
Dead, To-Morrow Afternoon.

AT a recent meeting OF Sherman post,
No. !, G. A. H., it was concluded unani-
mously by the members present that Mem
orial day ought to q observed in Las
Vegas, though IL would not be done in as
grand a manner as desired, and as been
the case in former years. Considering the
facts that the veterans are getting along in
years, that the weather is excessively
warm, and the cemetery some distance
from the city, it was deemed best, under
the circumstances, that each MEMBER of
the grand army post procure his own Goa.
veyance and 90 out to the city Of the dead
tomorrow afternoon, where the graves OF
the soldier dead to be decorated will be
marked with small flags.
A cordial invitation is extended to the
several civic societies, the bands, the fire
companies, children of the public schools,
all union aud confederate soldiers-in fact,
all classes OF citizens, to visit the cemetery
to- morrow afternoon for the purpose OF
gsrlanding the passionlsss mounds with
the choicest flowers Of spring time. While
we all accord honor and praise to the yet
living veterans, let US all revere tho mem
DRY of those who died in fighting our bat
ties, and testify our gratitude and love by
decking their graves with dowers and re-
counting their deeds of valor. The OBJ
Of Memorial day are indeed
beautiful, and it is the duty of every man
to give at least a passing thought to these
preparations, and lend what assistance he
can to make a fitting tribute.
