New Mexico the Place.

Hardly a day passes now without
mining men, prospectors and investors
passing through this city from Colorado
en- route either to the southern part of
this territory or to Arizona to look out
for investments along their line of bust
ness. Colorado is getting to be a bleak
and snow bound country in the winter
time so that not only is prospecting diff
fcult, and in many places impossible,
but the roads from most Of the mines to
the nearest railroad are impossible, and
in many parts of the state nc one can
get in or out except on snowshoes. So
the hardy miner comes down into a Sec
ton of the country with a more favored
climate, and where mining operations
al be conducted during the winter
time. They all seem to have a good
opinion of New Mexico, and think the
local prospects are very promising.

is Denounced.

OFF SANTIAGO DE- CUBA. June Adm.
Sampson is determined not to allow
the Spanish to remove the Mcrrimac
from the spot where She lies. On Sat
urday it was reported that they were
working at the hull, and the American
fleet formed in line of battle. with or
dcrs TO lombard 1t turned out that
the Spanish were not so engaged and
the fleet Withdrew. Adm Sampson
had given special orders that FL Moro,
where the heroes of the Merrimac are
imprisoned, should be spared in the
firing.
Adm. Cervcra's petite assurances
were accompanied by the statement
that Lieut.. Hobson and his men were
confined there. This placing Of pris-
oncrs in the direct line of fire is de-
nounced by American officers as
century defense, an act of
incarnatc cruelty.

forces in the west and north of the
province Of Santiago, has been conccn-
rating 1000 Cubans in the vicinity of
