Mrs. A. A. Collins left Sunday for
Mckinney, Texas, TO visit her daugh-
ter.
The seml-annual statement OF the
condition OF the Silver CITY savings
bank appears 10 our advertising col
ums this week.
The reason that "Seuator" White
did not not make his promised visit { o
Lordsbbrg last week was that be was
busily engaged in attending 70 the
wants OF a newly arrived daughter ut
the tune he expected 10 be In this
portion u the county.
Monday a Mexican woman named
Libradu Salcido, the wife Of Nicholas
Ruellas was cleaning a lamp. In
some way, just how canGot be ascer
Gained, she spilled oil on her clothes,
and the clothes caught dre. She was
terribly burned from the effect Of
which she died the next day. She
leaves ive children.
The remains Of @. P. Huntington
were buried from his NV York resi-
dence last Friday morning. Fol- half
a day Friday all business was STOPPED
on the entire Southern Pacific system,
except the actual running Of trains
that were on the road, aud 10 spirit,
II not in body, the thousands Of en-
ployees OF the road attended the
funeral.
III. F. Terry, who has charge OF the
Gold Coin company, which has been
working a Malone, left Wednesday
for Wilcox, to look at some properties
that have been presented to him. MI.
Terry has been disappointed In the re-
suits at Malone. 1t is easy to get rich
assays from Malone ore, but he has
been unable to lind any amount of ore.
Unless something is found there in
the next few days the company will
abandon the camp, and IL this com
pany cannot tlnd anything 10 a camp
IL is quite safe TO say there is nothing
in It..
Judge Egan, A. T. Thompson and
ii. G. Day came down on the Arizona
& New Mexico road Sunday, en- route
for Solomonville, to attend a meeting
of the board OF supervisors. While
here they learned that the road be.
tween Bowie aud Solomonvile was
washed out aud that IL would he im-
possible to get to Solomonville 10 that
way. They took the afternoon train
back to Coronado, and there took the
stage for Solomonville. In the days
of washouts stages have great advan-
tages owe railroad trains. They can
60 around the washes without wait
Ing TO have the track built.
In the past residents OF the charm
ing village of Silver City have acquired
many and various regulations. Last
week a mar In that town made a new
record for He broke into
the Ladies' hospital and stole a suit Of
clothes belonging to a man who was a
patient, and also thirteen bottles of
beer. kept for the nourisnment Of the
patients. He was ARRESTED and
held. A man who will steal from the
sick is about a. mean as they are
made. Thirteen is an unlucky num-
Der, and the tIatron Of the hospital
thinks 1t is much more unlucky to lose
thirteen bottles OF beer than it would
be to lose a straight dozen.
A new time table went into effect
on the Arizona & New Mexico road
yesterday. All trains except No. 2,
the train which leaves here for Clifton
at $3.50 p. M, are a little faster under
this time table than under the old one.
After the possibilities Of the road
which the recent extensive repairs
have produced, are revealed, 1t is
probable the fast time the trains now
make will be made even faster. Ac-
cordinR to the new table the trains
leave here at 100 a. m. aud 800 p. m,
reaching Clifton at 1880 a. m. and 7:05
D. m. The trains leave Clifton at 500
a. m. and 200 p. M, reaching here at
1905 and 6:15 p. m.
