A lNG TOWN.
Alamogordo, in Dona Ana County, Promises
to Become One Of the Most Thriving
Oenters in New Mexico.

Alamogordo Is receiving many a
write-up these days. especially from the
west Texas and southern New Mexico
papers. All seem to recognize that 1t
Is destined to become a commercial GEN.
ter of some Importance, and the rapid
ity with which the town Is growing JUS
titles the common appreciation Of it.
Alamogordo is Sc miles north of Ell
Paso, in Dona Ana county, N. NJ, and
located on the base Of the Sacramento
mountains at an elevation of 1890 feet
above the level of the sea. 1t is less
than three months old. and yet has a
population Of owe 500 people. The &C.
casion of it's organization and develop
ment was the advent of the Ell Paso &
Northeastern road, and is the terminus
of the road until the next so miles of
line is built. 1t is also the junction Of
the main line with the mountain branch
which is being constructed rs miles up
into the Sacramentos, where there is
timber enough to tie all the rail. Dads
likely to be built in the southwest coun-
try for many decades to come. Until
this timber section was reached, all of
the northern Mexico, Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona roads have had to pat-
ronize the famous Beaumont country
in eastern Texas and western LOUISE
tracts. But 1t has long been recognized
that the day was coming when the Sac
ramento timber tracts in southern New
Mexico would be opened up, and then
the long distance freights paid the
Southern Pacific for Beaumont timber
would cease to be paid out, and railroad
building given an impetus In the far
west because Of the greatly Increased
cheapness Of railroad timber. This
long anticipated hope is now about to
be realized. And not only is railroad
timber to be cut here, but a lumber
company has erected a saw mill and
box factory at Alamogordo, with a ca
Of 100, 900 feet Of lumber per day,
and this mill, 1t is said, will give en-
ployment to $50 men at the mills and in
the mountains. Then the general offices
Of the New Mexican Railway and Coal
Company are to be located here, and it
Is claimed that at this point will be
the principal machine, car and
repair shops of the railway company.
The Alamogordo Improvement Com ,
pany has been organized, and plans
are completing for many buildings Of a
private and public character. The new
city has an abundant supply Of water
neighboring mountain springs,
and, owing to the large section of coun-
try tributary to Alamogordo, 1t is des-
to be a commercial as well as
railroad center. The surrounding our
try Is suitable for grazing, agricultural
and horticultural purposes. 1t is even
said that figs will grow there in album
lance, while grapes are a never fail
ng crop. Strangers with an eye to in
vestment are coming into Alamogordo
every week, and while the town Is hav-
ng q rapid growth, there is no "west-
town BOOM IN, but the develops
nent Is gradual and healthful.

Anxiety Relieved.

Washington, June i6.-Like the re-
lief of the beleaguered Mt Lucknow
came the welcome news to the navy de-
partment Wednesday afternoon that
the little band of American marines
who had planted the flag on Crest hill
and were defending II night and day
against heavy odds were not only safe
but were strongly reinforced by 1900
Cubans from the commands Of Garcia
and Rabbi and were now strong enough
10 more than hold their own. 1t was
disclosed In a dispatch from Admiral
Sampson and brought much relief 10
naval officials. The early reports had
indicated that the marines were sur
rounded. and IL was feared that they
might be compelled TO return 10 the
ships before Gen. Skaters invading
army reached there on Friday. The
coming OF the Cuban forces seems TO
have been in the nick of time. and naval
officials give the fullest credit TO the
timeliness OF this Cuban cooperation.
The admiral's dispatch stated that the
condition OF the marines was entirely
satisfactory" which assurance, al
though brief. was enough to relieve Of
ficials here of the fears they had en-
tertained.
But probably The most significant fea-
ture of the admiral's dispatch was the
statement that the Cuban general, Rab-
bi, had occupied Acerraderos, only eight
miles from Santiago, and practically a
suburb of that Spanish stronghold. 1t
