EDISON Is COMING.

II ls more than probable that
New Mexico will soon become the
center of attraction for gold min.
ers. A Santa Fe special to the
Denver Republican says:
At Dolores Thomas A. Edison,
the inventive genius, proposee to
erect plant that will revolution
ize the milling of low grade gold
ores in New Mexico, if not through
out the whole country. He hopes
to accomplish for the gold indus.

has so far succeeded ms 10 Justify
him in building n mill of 200 tons
daily capacity, which is to be
planted at Dolores, near the center
OF the Ortiz mine grant.
In doing this Edison has not ov-
erlooked his personal business in
terests, for he has wisely got in on
the ground floor of big mining
deal which promises to add large
ly to his zeal in constructing the
most complete gold mill of the
times. 1t is said that Edison, in
company with S. G. Burns, an En-
glish mining engineer, James w.
Perry, of New York City, and 9TH
ers have organized syndicate and
taken two years lease aud bond
on the Ortez mine grant. There
are $4,000 ncres IN this tract, and
the price is 81 ,250,0O0. The lease,
which is made TO Perry by L. NJ.
Lawson of New York and the New
Mexico Mining Company, was re-

practically to sale of the grant
property, though the bulk of the
money involved will not be paid
until few squatters who now hold
clnims on the grant are ousted or
settled with, and this may require
two years time. Under the lease
Perry binds himself to diligently
explore and develop the property,
and one of his first enterprises will
be the erection of Edison's mill.
The A. L. l. s. +. railroad is ais,
to be extended through the grant
from Madrid to Dolores, a distance
of six miles.
There is scarcely an acre of the
entire 81, ,0O0-acre tract that does
not carry gold. The gulches are

The Boyicss Town.

cross old woman Of long ago
Declared that she hated noise:
"rhe town would be so pleasant you
know,
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about II till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead
And then, of sudden, the town grew
still,
For All the boys had fled
And all through the long and dusty
street
There wasn't q boy in view:
The baseball lot where they used to
meet
Was u sight to make one blue.
The grass Was growing ON every base"
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the lveIong day
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't Il whistle or can to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longcd for saddle and rein:
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only a dun refrain.
The cherries all rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had Il single taste
Save only the birds and bees
There wasn't a messenger boy-not one
TO speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their erraud done
They sent for a messenger man
There was little, | ween. of frolic and
noise;
There was less OF cheer ana mirth:
The sad old town, since it lacked its
boys,
Was the drcariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep.
Then woke with Il sudden scream:
Dear me" she cried: II have been
asleep.
And oh what a horrid dream"
