Rio Grande Dam aud Irrigation COM
pany held their annual meeting at Las
Cruces on Oct. IL. The old board of
termined to commence work as soon as
the government suit shall finally be
determined in favor of the company,
which ia believed will be soon after
the first of November.
Our friends E. @. Hubert and w. 81.
futile were up on the 11Jh from Ell
Paso on business and pleasure bent.
On the United States side of the
court there came up for trial the case
of United States VS.. Jesus Maria Gre
jida, charged with making and passing
counterfeit money and having same in
his possession, also having tools in his
possession for making of such. Defen-
dant was arrested at Lordsburg, and
when searched one dollar counterfeit
was found in his pocket and bright
new silver half dollar was wrapped up
in paper. A check was also found for
baggage. On going to the depot secur-
to contain moulds for the making of
counterfeit money, also about $25, 900
worth of counterfeit confederate
money. Defendant claimed that he did
not know where he got the counterfeit
silver dollar, but that he met q man
in Ell PasO who on a twenty minutes
acquaintance bought revolver of him,
loaned him 500 in money and engag-
ed him to carry q sack of tools for him
to Morenoi, Arizona, he to come along
on foot, as he did not have money to
pay his fare on the cars. The jury did
not seem to take very much stock in
that story, for they came back into
court cOnvicting him on all these
counts in the Indictment. The court
sentenced him to the penitentiary for
eight years and to pay fine of $1,000.
On Monday on the territorial side of
court JacobO Flores was being brought
into court for trial. he withdrew his
plea of not guilty and entered q plea of
guilty of murder in the second degree
This plea the district attorney accepted
and stated to the court that he had
agreed to recommend a sentence of
twenty-one years. The court accepted
the recommendation of the district
to the penitentiary for the term of
twenty-one years.
On the United States side of the
court Roman Balcorta was charged
with perjury in testifying at former
term of this court in an adultery case
that he did not know where Juau
the finding of an Indictment against
them for adultery. The jury was salts
fed he did know and SO convicted. A
motion is pending for a new trial.
The jury an out at this writing in

the case of Elario Garcia, charged
with having been one of q party OF
three that robbed q house at Colorado,
this county, one year ago last Decem-
Der. The territory had quite strong
case at the time it rested, but defen-
dant came upon the stand and testified
that he left Colorado about twenty
days before the robbery and went to
Ell Paso. remained there several days
and went from there to Stems
pass, where he remained some days
and then went to California. His
brother testified that at the time
defendant left home he was working at
Cooks Peak, but came home about ten
days before the robbery and found his
brother gone and that he did not come
back for a year and q half. This is a
straight out alibi if the jury believe it.
Later the jury brought in q verdict OF
not guilty.

COLONIA JUAREZ.
Considerable Building In Progress
Saw And Single Mill Busy.

o
CoLONIA JUAREz, Oct. 14.-After
some heavy rains about ten days ago,
which, however, came too late to be-
nefit our hay crop and dry farmed corn,
fine weather prevails, and farmers are
busy gathering their crops.
Considerable building is still going
on and mary residences have been com
pleted during the past season, some OF
which, notably that of A. w. WINS,
would be an ornament 10 Ell Paso.
The four steam saw mills and two
single mills in the mountains are run
ming constantly, and furnish employ
ment to men and many teams in haul
ing their product to the railroad
and to other places.
There has been considerable activity
in mining matters during the summer
and quite a'number of locations have
been prospected, surveyed and demo-
unced, of which the Tres Amigos, No
venta y Nueve, Siete Hermanos, Cinco
de Mayo, La Panchita, and San Agus-
tin are highly spoken of as showing a
high percentage in copper, silver and
gold. These mines were surveyed by
Theodore Martineau an official mine
surveyor residing in Chuichupa, the
nearest settlement to the mines. His
surveys were mapped by J. Fl. Marti-
neau of COlOnia Juarez, who has had
many years, in such work in
the surveyor generals offices of Utah
and Arizona and for several railway
companies in the United States. He
is also prepared to execute mining,
land or canal surveys in northern
Mexico.

CHIHUAHUA
Great ACtlYity.In Mining-A City
Water FIltering Plant Being Put

Special Correspondence OF the HERALD.
CHIHUAHUA, Dot. 17.-There are
many strangers il town, most of them
being in some way interested in mines,
and by the number of new denounce-
ments made at the mining Office the
interest in this line seems to be stead
lily on the increase in this district.
What other mining districts in the
state are doing it is impossible to say
witch any degree of accuracy. but from
reports outlying districts are equally
active,
Chas. Sewall has gone out Ell Socorro
way for some Pittsburg parties who
have large interests in that locality.
Ed. Dewitt returned from Denver q
few days ago and brings with him
strong evidences of the benefits of Col
OradO climate.
The interest in the attempted yacht
races has diminished with the re-
peated failures to pull off the race, and
the African war news has the first
call. 1t ia truly wonderful to see the
knowledge displayed by alleged wise
men relative Ito South African affairs,
some of them even going so far as to
assert that the 'causus-belli'' is the
Dreyfus case. This wisdom is simply
astounding, and exists principally
among the ''plazs miners.''
The city is busy putting in a new FL
tering plant at the west end of town,
and all the water will be filtered for
domestic use. The plant is modern
and up to date in every respect, and
will add to the sanitary condition of
the city by giving pure water.
The rigid quarantine regulations at
the border are counted as q nuisance
by people here who have to go to Ell
Paso for q day and must get numerous
certificates of healthfulness and good
behavior before they can cross the Rio

Hon. ]. w. Nichols, special council
for the United States government in
Indian depreciation matters, has been
here for the past several days taking
testimony in the matter of claims of
citizens of Parker county against the
government for depredations commit
ted by the Indians in times past, and
around him are gathered many of the
old pioneers of Parker county, gray
and grizzly, in animated conversation
recounting the exciting times of early
pioneer life.
Our city is somewhat concerned
about ruling of District Judge Scott,
of the Waco district, who recently
held that the law passed by the last
legislature creating courts was uncon-
stitutionsl. While of course Judge
Scott's ruling does not affect us here,
yet there ia fear that when the ques-
ton comes up, as it certainly will, be-
fore the criminal court of appeals, that
his decision might be sustained, and
the came chaos rei9 in judicial matters
in Texas cities as did before the pass
age of said act. The cities loose q re-
venue and city officers are careless
about making arrests for minor Of
ences. The weight of opinion of the
bar here is that Judge Scott's ruling
will be sustained.

Shortage of Horses.

Captain Crouch, the we'll known i'm porter of German coach horses and ex- porter of coach and draft horses, re- gently said to The National Stockman: "The country has suddenly come to a realization of the fact that there Is a great scarcity of horses of all kinds
 but more particularly of good coach animals. draft horses and also fine driving stock. This demand has been brought about by the extensive de mand for the foreign market, which has absorbed all the available surplus in this country. For several years back the agencies of foreign governments have been In this country making ex- tensive purchases for the equipping of the cavalry and artillery branches of the armies of Europe. Mexico has also been an extensive purchaser for this purpose, and during the recent war be- tween Cuba and Spain large numbers of horses were shipped from the south to supply the armies of both combat ants. The result is there has been an advance of 90 to 60 per cent in the value of good coach horses and draft horses, and at present 1t is impossible to supply the demand in this country for that class of animals. Stockmen who aim to engage in this business should study the needs of the market and endeavor to raise an animal that will come the nearest to supplying the greatest demand. I believe that the conditions are such as to insure for number of years to come a safe market at remunerative prices to all who en.
 gage in raising good class of horses"

It has appeared in our Providence newspapers since, and now in the month of May, 1899, I cm- phatically state there Is not one word I wish to retract.

souls mo the kingdom. In that world We have just visited the deserts are sll abloom and the wil,lcrncsscs arc bright with fountains. Sin Is extirpated. Crime Is reformed. Disease is cured. The race Is emancipated. The earth Is full of the knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea- The redeemed of the Lord have come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads The Lord God Omnipotent relgneth, and the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ Let the harp CTS of heaven strike the glad tidings from the strings of their harps, and the trumpeters put them in the mouth of their trumpets, and the orchestras roll them into the grand march of the eter- mites, and all the cathedral towers of the great capital of the universe chime them all over heaven"
 And now I look up and see the east ing down of the bejeweled and radiant crowns at the sacred feet of the en- throned Jesus. Missionary Carey Is casting down before those feet the crown of India saved. Missionary Jud- son is casting down the crown of Bur ma saved. Missionary Abeel casting down the crown of China saved, Da- vid Livingstone casting down at those feet the crown of Africa saved, Mis- sionary Brainerd casting down the crown of this country's aborigines say ed. Souls that went up from all the denominations in America in holy ri. valry, seeking which could soonest cast down the crown of this continent at the Saviour's feet, and America saved.
 But often you and l who were com panions iu that expedition from heaven to earth, seated on the green bank of the river that rolls through the para disc of God, will talk over the scenes we witnessed in that vacation from the skies in our terrestrial visitation, we who were early residents in the nineteenth century, escorted by the spirit of the twenty-first century, when we saw what my text describes as "a new earth. wherein dwelleth righteous ness." "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as 1t was in the beginning, Is now and ever shall be. world without end. Amen"

 qualities that are necessary for good coyote hunter. Guess, the smaller one, is a French hound. These dogs are very valuable in this country.
 I will give you short account of how these dogs killed two coyotes re- gently. went to my feed yard, which Is some distance from the house. when the first thing that met my gaze was three of these ''peSky" animals turk ing around at distance of n quarter of a mile in neighbours field. AS quick as my dogs came in sight of them they gave chase. and before the coyotes had gone one mile they over hauled and killed one of them. Then put the dogs on trail of the other one. We followed him about three miles. when he ran into a neighbours wood shed and took refuge on a high pile of wood. It Is perhaps needless to say that he was soon brought down from his exalted position by gunshot.
 It Is not an uncommon sight to see from three to ten of them in a band late in the fall of the year. We some times have what we call round ups" From three to dozen men on horse back with their dogs will scatter out with the understanding to meet at some certain place. We are sure in this way to rout a band. This country Is so much fenced up, mostly with three wire fences. that 1t Is very diffi- cult getting about. l use claw ham mer on a chase with which to draw staple and lower the top wire. My horse can then leap over and we soon resume the chase. Coyote hunting Is very exciting and persons will often get so enthused and yenturesome as to endanger their lives for the sake of capturing their game.

Training shepherd Dogs.

The natives of New Mexico seem te
 have an original way of training shep- herd dogs. X pup Is taken from its mother as soon after birth as possible. The breed of dog is immaterial. The young of a sheep or goat Is taken away, and the pup is substituted. Aft CT the first few days the pup Is never
 fed except just before the flock goes to pasture in the morning and just aft er the sheep are brought In at night. As soon as he can walk he goes out with the flock and stays with 1t all day. Whenever he begins to antici- pate supper by trying to drive the flock In before sundown he gets punished. After he is about n year old he takes n fiock out. guards it from other dogs and coyotes during the day and brings 1t in at the proper time at night with out supervision. I have tried all kinds of temptation on dog that was en- countered m the hills with his flock. but in spite of all he would remain faithful to his duty, driving his flock to safe distance before venturing to make the acquaintance of my own dog,
