this why would he go to Ell Paso to In

whether 1 am off On the question, and
whether the mining trade is worthy of
place to work in an observation for the
benefit of the unthoughtful. One day
about month ago in Ell Paso 1 was
laying for victim to talk Jarillas to
when I saw an enterprising business
man in an excited condition, with both
hands in the air, approaching news
paper man. At first l thought it
meant killing but L was mistaken and
1 gathered food for thought from the
following remarks made by the bust
ness man: sSay Mr.. Editor, do you
see that man? Do you know who he
lie? We just sold him $500 worth OF
goods and got the cash, and we didn't
get q chance at him until he was about
through with his purchases. He came
in town yesterday, and has spent over
$4,000. He is mining man from Ariz-
ona. He told me this in his first trip
to Ell Paso, that he has heretofore
done his trading in Los An
geles, but that he was
pleased with his treatment here and
our prices, and he would hereafter
trade here. Say Mr.. Editor this min
ing trade is great. 1t is the business
we want. It is the stuff that will build
up FL Paso. It is cash up and no grunt
ing and good big orders in a lump.
Let's go and take something" Right
there 1 was tempted to suggest to that
business man the propriety OF putting |
q hundred or two into helping along |
the development of Jarills camp, but l
was afraid he would set his shoe afire
getting away from me and L would
have to whip the editor or take kick
ing myself, for having caused the loss
IF prospective drink.
Several prominent people have visit
ed our camp since my last letter and
heir sayings noted for some future let

F. A. BeideIman, superintendent for

week. to select and purchase Is to 20
OTIS on which to erect Immediately,
,wo to five room cottages for rent to
citizens of the camp.
Readers might wonder at the name
The Lillian Wild Cat" given to a min

bout the naming of mining claims and
n this case, Mr.. Church's party en-
ountered and killed wild cat while
