~gold-copper rock that has caught the
eye Of several mining men, and pleases
them greatly. Duran claims that he
has assays from this ore running $18 in
gold to the ton. not to mention the
copper, which seems very rich. He says
also the vein has been exposed in a 25-
foot tunnel. and is about 4 feet wide.
The Mosca region has yet to receive
any sort Of extended attention from
prospectors. 1t seems likely that ONE
thing attractive may. be found there.

CROP REPORTS.
Drouth Is Doing Much Damage in Rio
Arriba County.


Hon. F. p. Chavez returned on sun
day from a trip to TERRA Amarillo. He
reports that crops in the eastern part
Of Rio Arriba county look we'll, but that
in the west and around TERRA Anna
rilla, and even at Abiquiu, the drouth
is doing much damage. For the first
time in the remembrance Of the oldest
inhabitant the river at Abiquiu is COM
pletely dry. The Chama has not a drop
Of water in it for a long distance. The
farmers are reaping wheat al present,
of which they have a good crop, despite
the drouth, which came too late to af-
feet that crop very much.
Hon. E. F. Hobart, receiver of the
land office. returned last night from a
visit to his ranch at Hobart's. He re-
ports that blackberries, raspberries and
peaches are plenty. The wheat crop Is
fine, and is ready to cut, as is also the
second crop of alfalfa.
The most disastrous drouth In history
now prevails in some sections of Rio
Arriba county. according to the state
ments of several citizens who are In the
capital attending to land grant matters.
The precincts most seriously affected
are FL Rito, Canjilon, Cebolla, Nutrias,
Nutritas (Tierra Amarillo proper),
Coyote, Rito Faustin and Gallina. In
these precincts the stream are entirely
dry, have been so for weeks, and all
crops are a total loss. Most of the peo-
pie, however, own sheep, goats and cat
tie grazing in the mountains, where the
grass is a fair crop, and depend on this
industry to pull them through during
the next year.

expense and pains to carry out a stroke
of enterprise that fruit growers will
appreciate. He has had printed in

The SCHOOL CENSUS.
There Are 1861 Children of School Age in
the Citv.


Under instructions from h city
completed the taking of the school CEN
sus, listing persons of school age: that
is, between the ages of 5 and 20 years
residing within the city limits. Follow
ing is the result:
Ward No. MALES, 22S; females. 200;
total, 42S.
Ward No. 2-Males. 24O; females, 1854;
total, 5O4.
Ward No. 3-Males, It's; females, 1856;
total, All.
Ward No. 4-Males, 146; females, 1862;
total. 30S.
Total males, 7ss; total females, 1862;
grand total, 1851.
The work of taking this census was
done with special care under instruc-
tions from the school board, as that
body has long been convinced that for
mer enumerators had relied largely up
on the old census list from year to year,
and had not enumerated anything ike
the actual number of persons of school
G dwelling within the city wards. But
this census is the result of q careful
house to house canvass. and the result
is all the more gratifying because OF
that fact. The census of last year
showed 1,131 school children in h city
while this year the total is 1851, an in
crease of $40.

most truly from individual aspiration
and resolution. There Is no training
possible to military schools or camps
which can 50 fit men for stubborn and
effective hghtingas they are made fit
by the knowledge that they are fighting
for holy cause, for their native coun-
try their homes, their wives and chill
dren.
This Is a lesson which has been I'M
failingly taught by the volunteer ar
mics of the United States. In the Rev
olutionary war, in that Of 1872, in the
war with Mexico In the bloody conflict
between the States, and In the war with
Spain for the liberating of Cuba, the
American volunteer proved that for a
man to be a supremely good soldier 1t
is not necessary that he shall spend his
life soldering. Indeed, there is reason
to believe exactly the contrary, that
the worlds finest soldiers are produced
In just this manner-by the sudden
springlng to arms of men who fight for
principle, and who, when principle has
been manfully commended for are will
ing to go back into the ranks of produc-
Ing workers instead of burdening the
people with a cost for maintenance and
training which Is not justified by re-
sults.--St. Louis Republic (Dem)

THE WORLDS BEST ARMIES.

One Of the most powerful lessons
taught by the events of the British
Boer war In South Africa is that the
efficiency and formidableness of an
army-a gathering under central con-
troll of thousands Of fighting men-de-
ponds not so much upon the pipe-clay
details OF professional soldering as
upon the spirit with which the fighting
men are animated
It may not fairly be denied that the
patriot army Of Boer recruits, farmers
and herdsmen, taken from their fields
and focks, was superior in fighting
ability, numbers being equal, to that Of
the British. That 1t was also better
generated, being finally defeated only
by overwhelming numbers, must be ac-
knowledged on the facts in the case.
And yet 1t was purely a volunteer army
and was opposed to what the world be-
lieves to be the finest of all standing
armies-profession soldiers command
ed by leaders who had all their lives
been studying and practising the art of
war.
The meaning OF this Is that the best
fighting. now, as in the days of Their
mopylae, is done by men whose cause
them to supreme effort An
army of patriots arrayed In defence of
their native land can In a marvelously
short time be transformed into soldiers
capable of successfully resisting any
thing like an equal number of men
fighting merely as mechanical soldiers
for certain wage per day. The best
fighting is that which possesses individ-
ual initiative. This initiative comes

HENRY s, JOHNSON,

The announcement of the death of
Henry S. Johnson, though not wholly
unexpected, will come as a shock to
many who have known and respected
him during all or a part of his long
and successful business career In this
city. Mr.. Johnson was man
who was well entitled to the
prominent and stable place he occupied
in the business life of New Haven. He
was man Of large ability, and he did
business with diligence, skill and thor
ough integrity. There was nothing
flashy about his work He built well
on strong foundations, and he merited
and enjoyed the confidence of all with
whom he came in contact. He was a
good citizen, devoted to his family, and
firm and loyal friend. He will be
much missed by all who knew and APP
preciated his solid character and his
upright life.

HE SAW n AND STOPPED 1T

| HE saw II AND STOPPED 1T.
Often when gambling game that Is
prohibited by law is going on there Is
great difficulty In seeing it. Those
whose duty it Is to stop 1t can't see 1t
unless their attention is called to it, and
when their attention has been called to
| 1t they find insuperable difficulty in the
way of getting evidence enough on
which to act against 1t. But OCCASION
ally there is man of authority in the
law department who can see gambling
game when it Is right before his eyes,
and can act against it without too much
delay. Such a man Is Judge Miller, Of
Mercer county, Pennsylvania. The
judge visited the Mercer county fair one
day last week and there saw big
go back to his office and issue state
ment to the effect that he would inves-
tigate; neither did he order any of his
subordinates to look into the case and
report--when there might be nothing
more pleasant to do. No, Judge Miller
picked up an axe, walked over to where
the wheel was running and with a few
well-directed blows put 1t out of bust
ness. 1t is said that the largest piece
the Judge left of that wheel of fortune
would have covered a two-pound
crock of butter.
OF course this wouldn't do as a gen.
eral thing, but 1t will do very we'll Just
to show what can be done.
