Because it's Lent.

Her vanities all laid aside.

COLONIA JUAREZ, MEX.
Conference of Mormon CoIonists-
praiseWorthy Work Of the
Ladies' Relief Society.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
CoLoNIA JUAREz. Oct. 3O.-A nota-
able gathering convened at this place
q few DAYS ago at the usual quarterly
conference of Mormon colonists In
Mexico. Representatives were pres
emit from Diaz, Dublan, Galeana, Pa
checo, Garcia, and Chuichupa in Chi
huahua, and from Oaxaca and other
places in Sonora, and matters affecting
the general and individual interests of
the various colonies were discussed.
All the colonies are prospering, good
health prevails, and it is being demon
strated that not only corn but wheat
can be grown without irrigation here.
A notable feature of the conference
was the Sunday school interest. do
not know the total number of Sunday
school attendants. but it must be fully
one thousand. as this place alone has
an average attendance OF over $50
teachers and pupils.
Messrs. A. Farr, Jr., Preston
Thatcher and Lucius Farr have ar
rived and will soon inaugurate Hon.
Moses Thatcher's big cattle enterprise,
which, it is believed, will much benefit
this section as ell as Ell Paso business
circles.

society held their quarterly meeting,

whose object is to see that no one in
their locality shall suffer for the want
of food, clothing, fuel or medical at
tendance for the sick, without regard
to color, race. nationality or religion.
Jew, GENTLE and heather are all sub
ject to their care aud help in time of
need. This is most worthy institu-
tiop, and could most profitably be
copied by other communities. A small
amount donated by each family once a
month, of -four, groceries, mooey.
etc., wisely distributed
the poor, may alleviate great
deal of want among the poor, and not
be felt as heavy tax by those more
fortunate.
A perusal of Ell Paso papers shows a
bloody record of murders, and much
crime OF other character, giving your
city an unenviable notoriety. 1t seems
to an outsider that the carrying of
deadly weapons should be prohibited
under heavy penalty, and that such a
law should be strictly enforced. II any
feel that it is necessary to their safety
to carry arms, let such procure q Ii
cense to do so in due form, such license
to be made a matter of record. At
present we outsiders would rather risk
our lives in the heart OF the Sierra
Madres with jaguars and panthers for
mighty mpanions than to walk alone
1t night in lonely parts of FL Psso, a
condition which should not and need
not exist.

HILLSBORO NEWS
Avery Rich Strike Notes of Inter-
est Rela tive to Mining.


Special correspondence of the HERALD.
HILLSBORO, N. M, Oct, 29.-Burke
and Welch, of the Snake mine, have
encountered three foot streak of very
rich ore.
The Porter mill, the only mill run
ming in this camp, has been kept very
busy the last month.
The COLLEEN Era property, since it
passed into the hands of Messrs.
Bickford and Bennett, is turning out q
veritable bonanza, it's dumps are worth
milling and it's pay streak in the tun-
mel worth shipping. Such is the case
with hundreds of this mines when in
telligently handled. The price of cop
per was the secret in this case.
At Andrews, nine miles from here,
extensive boring operations have been
commenced. Experienced men from
the oil regions OF Pennsylvania are in
charge, with instructions to find water
and ore regardless of depth. If Sena-
tor Andrews gets an idea into his head
he will work it out If 1t costs q million.
Eastern parties, desiring to cyanide
the new Porter mill, which has been in
operation under different mausgements
for twenty years or more, have given
up the project. for the reason that the
tailings were too low grade and prac-
tically valueless, which goes to show
that there has been exceptionally good
work done inside the mill as some very
rich ores have been treated. and an av-
erage of all ores, as estimated by con-
sentative and well-posted local mining
man, has been of twelve and fifteen
dollars value per ton.
