RED RIVER CITY.
This Camp is Attracting Much Atten.
tiOn and Has Become Rival Of the
World Famous Cripple Creek.

Special to the New Mexican.
Red River, N. M, April 25.-Red
River is attracting great deal of atten-
tion these days, and in the matter of in
vestment has become formidable rival
of the world famous Cripple Greek. An
other large party of capitalists arrived
here this morning, made up of wealthy
investors from Denver, Colorado Springs
and the big cities of the east. The camp
is at the present time in a peculiar state
of transition. It is condition that at
taches itself to every mining camp, at
least for time. For some time past the
prospectors have been devoting them
selves to the task of building town, and
the result has been that the mines to a
great extent have been overlooked, ex-
cept by few cool headed old prospec-
tors. New discoveries are being made
every day, new kinds of rock is being
brought in, and the rewards for climbing
hills and mountains, are being lavishly
bestowed by dame nature, who is not al
ways as prompt in payment as could be
wished. Perhaps the richest find in the
district Is that of Mr.. Augustine at
Pioneer Gulch. This strike bids fair to
surpass even the famous Black Copper
mine, which has ore value at 100000 to
the ton. The Augustine property shows
quartz filled with free gold and specimens
broken open cling together with the
yellow metal. Experts declare that this
ore can not possibly 60 short of 100000
per ton. The prospector is now getting
we'll to the front, and the camp will soon
be on a big boom,
Cripple Greek parties who have been
negotiating for some time for a bond and
lease of the Gold Belle mine, have re-
Gently closed the deal, The bond calls
for $4,000.
The snow is melting rapidly
here, and the creeks are running foil of
water, thus enabling the miners to do
considerable work in placer mining.
There is no snow on the route between
vasquez and Red River, and the stages
on the route are always on schedule
time.
Over at La Belle new company has
been organized to operate the Keystone
tunnel, and the papers have been for
warded to Santa Fe for record. The com-
pany is composed entirely of Trinidad
business men, and they have put crew
to work in the tunnel which is in 500 feet.

Captain G. c. Hewitt has been
temporarily relieved from duty as
Commandant of Cadets at the Uni
versity and his successor has been
appointed. Captain Hewitt has been
Ill for some time and he has been
granted sick leave for six months
Hon. Geo c. Sturgiss, President
of the board of regents went to
Washington to get another officer to
fill the detail. Secretary of War
Alger has detailed Captain G. G.
Ayres of the Tenth Cavalry. Capt.
Ayres was at Charleston last fall to
drill the national guard officers. He
is said to be first class man and
will report here for duty within
few days. He has been detailed for
six months. How much longer he
may remain is of course not known.
Captain Hewitt is at present in
Pittsburg undergoing treatment. He
is suffering from nervous prostra-
tion and an acute attack Of catarrh.
1t is his intention to go south to
spend the winter, probably going to
Florida. However he will be guided
in this by the advice of his physi-
clans. His friends here hope that
he may speedily recover from his
malady.
He has another year to serve here
after the expiration of his sick
leave. Whether or not he will serve
it depends entirely on the state of
his health after June. Should he be
permanently unable to assume his
duties it is altogether probably that
Captain Ayres will be given the de
tail.

MAKE OR BREAK 1T.
Praise or Blame helps or hurts your
town-No Reason for anything but
Wonderful Results will Fol-
low n Systematic Booming.

Among the many good things
which Mr.. Conwell said in the course
of his lecture was this: Don't run
down your town. Don't say it is
the worst place on earth. Stand up
for it, and herald its virtues to the
world. Why Morgantown would be
a city of 100000 inhabitants il it
had not been Tor the disparaging re-
marks her citizens have made about
her.
This may be extravaganza vet there
is a large amount of truth in lt. Any
town is retarded in its progress by
the disparaging belittling remarks
people oftimes unconsciously
make of it. This spirit helps in
dustrles, business and population
away from any town. 1t does no
good either to the town or to the per-
son having it.
On the other hand good word
spoken in time for your town can do
wonders. 1t impresses people. 1t
brings business population and
wealth. There are SO many good
things to say about Morgantown
that there is no excuse for saying
anything else. Think over the mat
ter. How many advantages we have.
How much we can offer to intending
residents. How few drawbacks there
are and how insignificant they are.
A few moments consideration will
make of any OF our readers an en-
thusiastic boomer. Try this remedy
and see how quickly the town feels
the impetus.

A MYSTERY.
That Would Furnish Plot for one of
Laura Lean Jiffey's" Thrilling Orig
inal Stories-Scenes i'm West Virgin

ia.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Dec. 2-The
authorities of Hinton have been re-
quested to investigate the mysterious
disappearance of "Arch" Watkins, a
young man from this place, who is
supposed to have met with foul play
near that city.
Watkins had been an attendant at
the state hospital for the insane at
Spencer, for over year. Some time
ago man from near Hinton was
brought to the hospital by relatives,
but was refused admittance as the
authorities were not satisfied Of his
insanity.
Watkins was employed there by
him to return home with him as his
protector, he, believing his relatives
were trying to get possession of his
property. Watkins wrote to his pa
rents here frequently and mentioned
several times that his life had been
threatened by relatives of his employ
er. About two months ago his let
tiers ceased to come, and as he had
always written home regularly, his
parents became alarmed, but received
no answers to their numerous letters;
and, when few days ago, they re-
ceived letter from young lady at
Spencer to whom Watkins is SAID to
be engaged, saying she had not heard
from him for about two months, they
became satisfied that he had been
foully dealt with, and every effort
will be made to bring the perpetra-
tors of what they believe to be cold
blooded murder to justice.
