ROSWELL'S ENTERPRISE.
M after OF Starting Canning Factory
Being Quietly and seriously Can
vassed--Advantages Thereof
stated.

The matter of starting acanning factory
at Roswell has been quietly talked of for
some time, with the view of discussing
the matter, and, if desirable, of giving
definite shape to the movement, a meeting
has been called by number of business
men and citizens for next Tuesday night,
says the Roswell Record. The meeting is
to be held at the court house, and we hope
that every ctizen of the town, with the
material interest Of the county at heart,
will attend. We are informed that can,
ming factory with capacity of 12000
cans per day will not cost to exceed $5,
900. This factory would give employ.
ment to 100 hands during season of five
months. The farmers who have had little
enough encouragement are more than
anxious to furnish the material for the
factory. There is no reason why the fac
tory could not be made to 7pay from the
time the first carload of produce is turned
out. We can raise as fine tomatoes, corn,
sweet potatoes and all Glasses of vege-
tables and fruit as can be grown anywhere
in the United States. With these pre-
served for winter use we can supply the
home market for the year around; besides
hundreds of carloads to other
places. Every dollars worth of home
grown canned goods used In the valley is
just that much saved and every dollars
worth sold outside the valley brings that
much in. The time has come when the
Pecos valley should be exporting all the
necessaries of life. The starting of a
canning factory would soon lead to other
needed here and it will mark a
new era in the county's development.

WALL STREET SWINDLE.
One of the Best Known New York
Spectators a Fugitive from
Justice.

New York, Dec. ga warrant is out
for the arrest of Henry Oliver Goldsmith
one of the best known men on Wall
street. The specific charge is grand lar
ceny in the first degree, for appropriating
check for $4,000, the property of Oscar
A. Wiessner, of Brooklyn. The officials
ia the district attorneys office say that
Goldsmith hes managed to get away with
something like half million dollars by
operations similar to those which brought
the company before the public. Gold
smith was indicted on Tuesday, but 80
far has eluded the detectives.
Goldsmith and man named Webster
operated under the firm name of Hoyt Il
Go. George Hazleweide and William A.
Mitchell, who were stock brokers, we're
arrested three weeks ago for their part in
the operations, but the charges against
them have not yet been tried. They
we're dropped from the membership of
the stock exchange, and it was upon
their evidence that the grand jury found
the Indictment against Goldsmith. The
latter is about 35 years old, and, in the
opinion of the district attorney, is one of
the shrewdest men that ever engaged in
Wall street speculation, after the manner
of Dean & Co. 1t is said his victims are
numbered by the thousands.

The Penasco association, formed for
the purpose of ridding that section of

The many advantages of farming under

not 80 we'll known that these are the con-
ditions offered to progressive farmers by
the Peoos valley. But it is, and will be

FIRES AT DAWSON.
Large Quantities of Provisions in
Mining Camp Destroyed by
Flames.

San Francisco, Dec. 29.-Acoording to
news just received here from Dawson
City, under date of November Is, the
Klondike mining camp has twice been
in danger of destruction by fire. On No
vember 20 two Front street log houses
were destroyed. The lodgings contained
the food outfit for ten men and nothing
WAS saved. The fire was caused by the
overturning of lighted candle, by a
drunken man. fire from a similar
cause broke out on November rs and the
opera house and two saloons we're burned.
Snow on roofs saved the rest Of Front
street from destruction.
Large quantities of provisions and
liquors, valued at $4,000, in Dawson,
we're destroyed. On November 10 the
Yukon froze over for the winter and
since then about 5000 persons have
started out over the ice between Dawson
and Fort Selkirk. Many are without
dogs and poorly supplied with provisions
and clothing and it is very doubtful if
they get through to the coast.

HILLSBORO GOLD MINES.

Spencer, Scanlon g. Co. have opened up
a fine body of ore on the Snake 2s0-foot
level.
The Opportunity leasers are still turn
ing out large quantities of that red oxide
copper ore which is also very rich in gold
and silver.
Steve Macy is at work on the Flora

veloping streak of quartz ore that runs
well in gold.
The Llewellyn Cyanide works are be-
ginning to loom up quite large in Dutch
gulch and will be in full operation very
early in the year.
The efficiency of the new Whitley table
at the Porter mill is evident in the
greatly increased copper saving, the con-
centrates giving nearly per cent more
than formerly.
The Snake mine is very largely increas-
ing it's output and the mill is kept quite
up to its capacity. Two carloads have
gone out this week to the Silver City Re-
duction works and another is billed for
tomorrow.
The New Mexico Dry Concentrating
company is pushing work and develop
ment rapidly at the Gold Star and Scan
dia claims in Ready Pay gulch. Three
new buildings appear now in the view
and work on the main mill structure is
well under way.
The Richmond 375 foot level now be-
ing worked under lease is opening up
into fine body of pay ore. Other por-
tions of the mine are showing up we'll
and several leases are likely to be taken
during the next week. One feature of the
Richmond mine makes it especially at
tractive to leasers and that is the ore is
always good and of paying grade, either
milling or smelling.
