Service is greater than sovereignty.

There has been much speculatious
as to the outcome of the controversy
between Col. Garcia, the owner of the
fabulously rich Pilares mines, aud A.
J. King, the lessee. 1t seems parties
operating an adjoining property OF
Col. Garcia's through jealosy of Mr.
King and desire to obtain an inter-

sedulously spreading reports derogato-
ry to Mr.. King and poisoning
Col. Garcia's mind, so the latter
determine ed TO Dust Mr.. King. During
the checking up, matters kept crop

of Mr.. King, the strict fidelity with
which he had guarded the interests

The decision OF Ell Paso's carni-

a little unity and hustling to-
gether, instead of leaving ali to a
very few public spirited men, the po-
pulation and business of their city
would increase wonderfully. The very
few public spirited men Ell Paso can
claim is a'disgrace. Perhaps this is the
cause of the dilapidsted streets and side
walks. Such an abominsble condition
of streets and sidewalks your CORES
pondent has never seen: even our little
town of CRsas Grandes would fell
ashamed of such things.
We have seen ladies fin elegant even
ing costumes compelled to walk in the
middle of the dusty street on no less
prominent "a residence street than
Myrtle, as fmportant8a one as there is
in the city,
With the exception of a very few
spots Ell Paso is absolutely without
sidewalks and has less mileage of
them than several small towns we
know of with less than one thousand
people.
Why is this so? Is it became your
old fossilized back numbered mayor
has other spots of a political nature to
"heal?"
A few evenings ago the the mayor of
Casas Grandes, Col. Bermudez, started
out for a call on some friends on Myrtle
street. He walked around nearly
three hours trying to find his friend g
house; then, because of the entire alb
sence of house numbers and signs Civ
ing names of streets, with the scarcity
of electric lights. he was compelled to
give up the hunt.
The only solution we can see why
some of the improvements usual with
cities are not made by Ell Paso Is be-
cause the mayoral relic is afraid the
pap it insufficient to supply his family
of political healers and they are Of
more Importance than the appearance
of your city or the comfort and con-
venience of the citizens.

GRAFTON, N. M, Oct. 3.-The Black
Range Railway company filed incor-
poration papers with the territorial Sec
Rotary, and the new railroad will be
built from Magdslena to the Black

range will be a great mining country.
There is plenty of law grade ore
which can be handled at a profit. In
the northern part of the CuchillOs are
mountains of iron ore, and large bodies
of copper ore in the southern portion
of the range. In the advent of a rail-
road through this district the Black
range would be given new life. Many
old min es which were abandoned could
be profitably worked and new ones
opened up.
Already new mining men have ap-
