Col. Max Frost, of the New Mexican,
says that the newspaper business in San
Miguel county, according to all reports
is fat picking. 1t is said the Voz del
Pueblo, the official printer, manages to
scrape up thousands of dollars per year
from the official printing. How that is
done, is a mystery TO all except those on
the inside"
Col. Frost is one of those characters
who imagine all unknown things to be
mysterious, and who people the I'M

brain. Come over Colonel, examine the
public records of San Miguel county,
and find that your basis state
ment being without foundation, your
conclusion is vastly wide of the mark.

A gentleman who arrived from Las

esting news that The Optic and Elk.
aminer Of that city had been consoli-
dated. He stated that DR.. Geo. L.
Gould was the new editor, and that the
policy Of the new OPTIC was to be free
silver and independent politics.
According to rumor the Hon. Felix
Martinez was TO bo the power behind
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Democrat.
The Los Vegas Examiner announces
that the publication of that paper VIII
at once be suspended, the plant having
been merged with the OPTIC plant.
This. bears out the report published IN
Yesterdays issue of this journal tnaC
a consolidation of the OPTIC and Ex-
aminer newspapers had taken pace.
Mr.. j. "A. Carruth wilfnow attend TO
the duties of a nice and fat little office
he has been appointed TO and the
Republicans will have no paper in Las

to the New Mexican tonight from Las

the DAILY Optic, Daily Examiner and
the weekly Spanish paper, La Voz del

| Senator Felix Martinez. This move
makes an epoch in New Mexico jour
nalism that will be felt in the campaign
next fall. MI. Martinez is a staunch

LAS VEGAS, N. M, Feb. 9.-The
DAILY OPTIC of this place yesterday
| changed hands, being purchased by a
stock company of home people. The
paper was founded in 1879, and has
never missed an issue, thus making II
the oldest daily In New Mexico. The
| Examiner, also published here, has
been absorbed by tho new company and
disappears from the field of journalism
Trinidad Sentinel.
THE OPTIC will have something to say
| tomorrow, which will be OF interest to al
in New Mexico, and deeply SO to all In
Las Vegas.
Las Vegas and THE OPrrC have always
gone together. Eaca have had its ups
| aud downs; but one paper and one town
| the tow for the paper and the paper TO,
the %town-that is the program now and
hereafter.
The above paragraphs are taken from
| THE OPTIC Of the 9Th, and if rumorf
are true, they mean the consolidation
the Examiner and The Optic, the
retirement of r. A. Kistler as editor OF
| THE Optic and the substitution of the
name of DIR. Geo. L. Gould with Felix

OFFICIAL PAPER OF TIE CITY.
FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. Il, 1895
THE LAS VEGAS GRANT.

From all appearances the long vexed
question Of the Las Vegas grant will
soon be decided by the highest legal
tribunal of the land. If ownership, as
seems probable, shall be vested in Las
Vegas, THE OPTIC would urge before
hand the avoidance of all divisions,
contentious and strife.
Let us say candidly that the bane OF
this city has been local divisions from
early days. The most promising pros
poets have been blighted by internal
discussions and %strifes. Every man
wants every thing at his own door; and
if it cannot come there, he would pre-
fer that it should not come at all. OF
course, this is not true of every citizen.
There have been and there are notable
exceptions. Unfortunately the rule
lies the other way.
In the grant case, every conceivable
consideration urges to harmony and
unity of action. With such action. the
grant will be an inestimable blessing;
with our usual contentious and strife
u chickering's and %plottings, u fierce
controversies among ourselves, it had
been better to postpone the settlement
of the grant indefinitely.
But little money is needed to push
tho question through the courts to a
final settlement; and with the we'll
known liberallity of Las Vegas, no one
can doubt for a moment that the funds
will be forthcoming. 1t is the aftel
settlement of the question, the condi-
tion Of contention and neighborhoo(
strife, which THE OPTIC would es
pecially deprecate.
