country and reducing the distance be-
tween Ell Paso and Kansas City by $50
miles. About the whole of the line will
penetrate a country which has hereto

a country rich in undeveloped resources.
CLOUDCROFT.
One of the most striking evidences of
the progress of the Ell Paso & North
eastern road was the establishment this
season Of a summer resort at Cloudcroft
and the embodiment of a summer school
Of methods and ~Chautauqua at that
place. Cloudcroft occupies an elevation
of over 5000 feet above sea level, and
it is n of the most delightfully."- cool
and shady places in the west. The rug
ged mountains, sylvan glades, impene-
trable forests and sweeping view of the
plains gives it the distinction of being
mountains. The Ch%autauqua feature
draws it's supply of teacher tourists
from New Mexico and Texas, and 1t is
made possible to reach the ideal sum-
mer resort without necessitating a long
and tedious trip through Texas, New
Mexico and Colorado. 1t Is not the in
tention Of the road to make a financial
feature of Cloudcroft at present. A rate
of IS for the round trip is made from
Ell Paso, and the cost of living at Cloud
croft is as cheap as can be found In any
restaurant in the cities.
When 1t was decided to create Cloud
croft as a resort for people from the
semi-tropical country, the Sacramento
mountain country was carefully ex-
plored, and a choice selection Of 1900
acres of ground made, to be used for the
pleasure and comfort Of those wishing
to spend their summers in the noun
tains. Nature has done her part with
a lavish hand, and the management has
laid the foundation plans, that the fu-
ture can build on the broadcast scale
and in the most complete detail. Large
and commodious hotels and public
places Of entertainment, groups Of de-
lightful summer cottages, beautifully
prepared drives, and a thousand things
to afford pleasure and recreation, COM
pose the tout ensemble Of Cloudcroft.
AT JARILLAS.
The placer finds at his place are
turning out all right, and such as are
being worked are yielding about IS per
man. Miners there are working a few
discoveries are being made daily of
paying ore all through this district.
The other day a prospector came in with
samples, which yielded 176 ounce in
silver, from a hitherto untried portion
Of the camp.
Gold hill, on which the Mamie Baird
is located, is under development, and
shows large and rich ore bodies. Ex-
tensive development is being done, and
when the working shafts, which are
being sunk to undermine the ore chutes,
reach that point, there will be heavy
shipments from that location-at least
three or four cars per day.
The Lucky, which is both gold and
copper, is showing up splendidly. Ev-
cry foot Of work demonstrates the great
extent and richness of the ore deposits.
1t is now shipping from one to two cars
per day, and as working room is made
the output will be increased.
The st. Louis Copper Company, a
wealthy concern, is opening up some
claims, and has made shipment Of sew
eral cars of very rich copper ore to St..
Louis; and this company will do a
great deal Of developing, and have very
valuable properties.
All through the hills are promising
prospects, some of them almost in shape
