Big Strike.

The Gold Standard mine, near Col l.
en-, N. NJ, has attracted considera BILE
attention during the past week, says
the New Mexican, on account of the in
creased richness of the ore taken from
the main shaft, al depth of 80 feet.
Crystal quartz with nuggets of gold
sticking in it which will run thousands
of dollars to the ton compose the
greater part Of the pay streak. The
vein continues to widen with depth and
has the appearance of be ng perma-
nent. NothiIg to compare with the
ore now being taken from this mine
has ever been seen in this part of the
country, and seldom seen any where
else. A surprising discovery was
made last week within about ,, 500 feet
of the discovery shaft of this mine. A
great ledge of rock known as Castle
Rock, crops out for 100 feet, at least 80
feet wide, and fully 40 feet high, loom
ing up in the distance far above the
surrounding country. Very little at
tention has been paid to it until on
day last week miner working for Car
ley s. Amanda, broke piece from this
ledge. tested it by panning and found
| to his surprise that it was rich in gold
If this immense ledge should prove to
be the outcrop of the mother vein of
that part of the Golden and San Pedro
section, New Mexico will have sec

gated at once.

Real Pleasant Time.

The international Lumber company
is unloading machinery down near the
little emelter with which to manufact-
ure 10000 brick per day, and will do a
large business. Two Mexican kids got
TO fooling with the machinery, and
while one boy was pulling a pulley
around, the other boy stuck his hand
into the thing and lost finger.
The howl brought out his pa who
proceeded to wallOp the boy manipulat-
ing the pulley. Then the pa of the
boy being Ii :ked showed up, and
pitched onto the man who was palsy
ing his child. This brought out the
entire neighborhood, and presently
free fight. All had a delightful time.

How is it,

People down the valley would like to
know why it is that Juarez is contin-
ually making the claim to half OF the
flow of water in the river and then
backing up its claim by taking all.
Today the American canal is dry,
while at Juarez every ditch is full
of water to spare. 1t hardly looks
right, neither does it appear as just,
that one should take all, when the use
of the water has always been consider
ed as a joint right. Something should
be done to bring about an equitab BILE
division, to the end that ranches on
both sides of the river might receive a
benefit. No doubt all that is necessary
is to present the matter properly to the
Juarez authOrities.andt the desired di-
vision will be made.

BETTER TIMES.
Col. Mothersill on the Cattle Business
in New Mexico

Col. Phillip Mo hersill, of Engle, N.
| M, general manager of the Detroit &
| RIO Grapde L We Stock COMPANY, and
candidate for the Ell Paso collector
says in a Santa Fe interview anent the
prospects for the cattle business of the
| territory:
Range cattle have not been il as

market Tor young CATTLE is better than

and they brought ID ore than three year
old steers OF the same grade would
nave brought three years ago. This is
great increase in values
1T is well known to all stockmen
and everyone connected with the cattle
trade that there S and has been a great
scarcity of stock in all the range coun-
tries of the west Many ranges in Nv
Mexico In the past three years, have
been almost stripped bare of cattle,
and today there is no great mum Der of
tged steers in this territory, and the
Increase OF prices we are now getting
arises from this scarcity. We would
nave had 1t two years ago in the same
proportion had 1t not been for the large
mportatiOns from ola Mexico
The importations of cattle from
hat country under the Wilson bill
nave cost cattlemen in the territory
from one to two dollars on every steer
sold during the last two years. The
railroad companies and lmDorters have
'lalmed that the importatious ON old
Mexico did not amount TO anything,
for the reason that it has been to their
advantage to talk that way, but every
tockman in the country knows better.
The Wilson bill should have been
abeled "A bill for the benefit of the
stock ralsers in old Mexico for they,
with the railroads and i'm

REORGANIZATION.
The Southern building and Loan
Stockholders Decided What To Do.

| L
stockholders Decided What To Do.
The Knoxville, Tenn, Daily Journal
| of Saturday last, has the following in
formation which will be OF interest to
all the Ell Paso stockholders in the
well know Southern Building and
Loan association:
The Southern Building and Loan
association has at last decided upon a
plan by means OF which it hopes to con-
tinue business.
AS is stated below, the ways and
means committee yesterday recon-
mended plan. THIS plan was last
night adopted, after hours spent in
able argument both for and against
the report.
The counsel of the stockholders is
now authorized to deny the allegations
of insolvency against the association,
as set forth in the bill Of Mrs. LINDA
Johnson, the filing Of which bill pre-
cipitated the present trouble.
The attorneys will pray Judge Clark
to set aside the original order naming
temporary receiver aud will also
seek the abolition of any arguments
that may be presented by other coun-
sci. seeking the appointment OF re-
ceiver of the association.
1t is expressly understood that the
counsel is to present to the court a sat-
isfac'ory proof of the solvency of the
association, and thereby throw the bur-
en- of the proof on the plaintiff, beyond
any doubt.
The meeting of the stock holders of
the Southern Building and Loan asso-
citation, that has been in session in this
ity for two days past, was, without
question, the most important meeting of
stockholders of any enterprise ever held
here.
1t had been feared that no plan could
be agreed upon. Now that an agree
ment has been reached, the question is
to await the action of Judge Clark on
the motion to dismiss the receiver,
which motion will be presented next
Monday.
The general impression last night,
after the meeting had adjourned, was
that Judge Clark.would consider with
favor the application, aod the action of
the stockholders, and dismiss the re-
ceiver.
