Silver City Hotel Opening.

AS heretofore announced In the En-
terprise, the large Schultz Palace hotel,
Of this city, will be opened to the public
on March 1. The proprietor, Mr.. Max.
Schultz, has spared no pains or expense
to make the new hotel a N u%p-to-date
house in every respect. The location
and arrangement of the 40 rooms are all
that could be desired for convenience
and comfort. The hall is large and wide
and running the entire length of $50 feet
makes every room easy of access, and
the light the very best. Every modern
hotel convenience, such as closets, bath
rooms, large hotel Office and spacious
sample rooms for travelling men, has
been elegantly arranged in the Schultz
Palace. The entire hotel will be beauti-
fully lighted by electric lights and a sys-
tenn of electric bells throughout the
building renders the conveniences I'M
excelled by any hotel of this city. Here
tofore hotel accommodations have not
been sufficient for the large number of
people in the city during the term of the
district court, but the opening of the
Schultz Palace on the above date will
obviate this Inconvenience.
The travelling public will find the very
best accommodations at the large new
hotel, the ample and well lighted sample
room affording the very best display of
their samples. The hotel is neatly fur
nished throughout with new furniture
of the best grade. The patronage of the
visiting court people and the travelling
public is specially solicited.

Death of q Hard Character.

N. c. Fenton, one of the characters In
southern New Mexico, died last Satur-
day night at Ell Paso. He went to Ell
Paso from his mining claims. Dissipa-
ton brought on an attack of p%eritonitis
which caused death. Some years ago
Fenton was a highwayman. He was
captured and landed in the penitenti-
airy by Maj. W. H. H. Llewellyn, of Las
Cruces. For several years Fenton had
been interested in mining around Las
Cruces and in the Jarillas. He was with
the late A. ]. De Meules when an at
tempt was made to jump the famous
turquois mine in the Jarillas. Jacobo
Flores, now serving a term in the pen
%itentiary for the murder of De Meules,
was with them at that time, guarding
the mine. At the time of death Fenton
was m Of the parties to the suit in
volving the title to an interest In this
mine. Fenton made considerable money
in his day, but died homeless and pen
niless, having been ruined by strong
drink. So far as known he leaves no
relatives.

ANOTHER OVERFLOW FEARED.

Wellborn, Texas May 15.-At noon yes
terday 1t commenced raining and Que
thunder shower followed another from the
south during the entire evening. The
nearer night the harder the downpour be-
came until the whole face of the earth
was one solid sheet of water. The rain
continued throughout the entire night, and
all day today, and at this writing p. nj.
it looks little brighter for the first
time since it commenced. Lands aud
crops are washed to pieces and great fear
is apprehended of another overflow on
the Brazos.
Farmers got in two or three days at the
best last week, but report that II would
nave been better II the land had not been
stirred; as the land being loose caused
1t TO WASH the worse and destroy a great
deal of cotton that had Just began to come
up. Some of the cotton .sst has recently
been planted is up 10 very good stand
while great deal will have to be planted
over again.
I. The Brazos bottom planters were pre-
pairing TO commence work again yesterday
tMonedyj mor-s+lg, as the highest lands
dried out sufficiently for stock to stand,
but in all the low lands, or where the
sediment was deposited, II would have
been lune before any work could have
been done.
The Post correspondent was over a great
deal OF the bottom lands Sunday and never
can lie call to memory Just such sights
as there ese to be seen. The food of
last June is no comparison when the con-
dition of lands is considered. Last June's
flood did very little II any damage to the
land, All crops were destroyed, how
ever, but II the season was as far advanced
the destruction at present would be fully
as great. There are no crops In the bot
TOM Corn, cotton and alfalfa are all
destroyed, and the land washed into gull
lies and ponds The land on one sarm
that had been plowed is WASHED to
the hard ground, and another join
ing just below, that belongs to the
writer, is covered with 4 sediment from
one inch to five feet deep. The deposit
however, is pond of about five acre.
where the sediment is the deepest, Where
the sediment is very deep 1t Will take
another year before It will dry out sufr-
GENTLY 10 cultivate. Some planters are
offering any amount OF land free of rent
to have Il worked this year in order to
have II in til'2il, condition for another
year. One planter who works about 1000
acres now has seven farm hands With
crops all destroyed for the second time
this year aud corn and cotton seed scarce
and no labor to work the lands there cant
possibly be a half crop made this year
with favorable weather from now on.
Messrs. Coulter and johnson of Bryan
are just from their farms opposite here
in Burleson county and report things as
being very serious. They say that win
the rain that has Just fallen there Is will
be impossible To work for month.
