The pipe line boys are having
their outing today, and a right mer.
ry time they will have. From all
corners of the oil field work will be
practically suspended, and the pro-
ducers of the great wealth of that
vast territory, together with their
sisters and cousins aud aunts, will
.-aeTote- themselves to day Of geu,
uine enjoyment. Everything that
will fill the day with innocent
amusement for both old and young
has been provided, and if any one
does not have a good time, it will
be some measly old bachelor or an
tiquated maiden whose livers have
become ossifed, and who live In
the past. From Sistersville, a spec.
ial train of seven coaches left at an
early hour literally crowded to the
roof with good humored humanity
and baskets filled with delicious
delicacies. They went to have a
good time, and there, as elsewhere,
the people will know that the Sis
tersville contingent Is right on
hand. The Thistle band, which,
by the way, IS rapidly becoming
one of the leading musical organ
izations of the state, accompanied
the party from this city, and with
their choice music will add con
siderably to the enjoyment of the
day. We trust the weather may be
all that could be desired, and that
nothing will happen to prevent this
from being day of unexampled
pleasure to all In attendance.

FIRST BALLOT.

Grouse Stricken Snodgras
West Virginia daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1894-1902, 1900-07-26

hve winters, when asked yesterday
If she were going to the picnic, re-
pied in the negative, but when In
formed that there would be a
merry so-round on the ground and
that she could ride all she wanted
to without charge, Immediately
changed her mind, and began prep
aratiops for the trip. Age had in
no way diminished her capacity for
enjoyment and when advised that
it could be secured without the
physical exertion too exhausting
for one OF her years, she became an
ardent picnicker. Happy are all
who, although prevented by the In
6rnities of age from indulging in
the rollicking pleasures which once
made life pleasant, yet still have a
young heart, and find pleasure in
all the innocent amusements in
which an aged body, wearied with
the burdens of many years, can
participate.

ANGORA GOAT REGISTRATION,
Animals of Good Pedigree Are Being
Bought Up,

e. Hale, deputy inspector and general
agent for the American Angora Goat
Association. with headquarters in Kan
sas city, is now making a tour of New
Mexico to secure Angora goats suitable
for registration. He has now gone to
the Pecos valley, after making a tour
Of the central part Of the territory, dur
ing which he found several hundred
animals of sufficiently fine breed to
be placed upon the books of the asso-
citation.
Interviewed recently in Ell Paso, Mr..
Hale said:
The association has just begun max
ing a record which will sooner or later
place the goat on the same footing with
the better breed of other animals. The
goat is much better than sheep, both in
quality of shearing and meat. The for
mer brings a better price than wool,
and is more sought for. This year the
hair in New Mexico sold from 29 cents
per pound up.
LAS to the meat, it is the main food in
many southwestern localities, but has
not yet found it's way east. People
often eat goat and think it is mutton.
The flavor and degree of tenderness is
higher than that Of any other young
meat, and the time will come when it
will supersede mutton almost entirely"
After this season no more of the old
goat stock will be received by the asso-
citation, but the buyers will search for
a younger generation, and, the mana
gers think. finer qualified animal will
be obtained.

selling mocking birds
A petition is being circulated among
the colored people of Albuquerque for
the establishment of Baptist church
in that city for colored people of that
faith.
Work was commenced last week on
grading for the new Santa Fe round
house at Gallup. Twenty men are at
work, and it is intended to push the
work to completion before cold weather
starts in.
The Oil fields near Gallup are attract
ing considerable attention at present,
and several miles of territory have been
located by three different parties. Sew
eral parties from Winslow are interest
ed, and samples of rock and ore have
been examined by California and Penn
sylvania experts, who have favorably
reported upon them. The Oil, however,
has not yet been found in paying guam
titles, but it is thought that if parties
with sufficient capital to carry on the
work Of prospecting take hold it can be
found in larger ulJantitieS

ON THE BYEOF ABOOM
Southern Santa Fe County Mines
Are Showing Up Well in
Good Ore.
The San PEDRO SHELTER
1t Will Make San Pedro the Second Largest
Town in the Oounty-Fine Specimens
of Ore from the Gold Standard
Mine.

Pablo Amanda and Frank White, OF
Golden, in the southern part of the
county, are in the city on court busi-
ness. They brought with them a num-
Der of fine specimens of ore from the
Gold Standard mine, which is being
worked by Mr.. Amanda and R. M. Car
ley. They donated several of the speci-
mems to the bureau of immigration.
The specimens were taken from a rich
streak of ore and show the free gold
plainly. The Gold Standard owners
made a mill run of ten tons recently
which netted them $780, The mine is
one OF the richest in the county and has
large body of ore. The shaft is down
1870 feet and considerable stopping has
been done.
Mr.. White says that San Pedro will
be the second largest town in the county
after the new smelter of the Santa Fe
Gold & Copper company is completed.
Over 500 men will be given employment
and the town will have a population Of
1 500 people. This is a reminder of the
boom days when 500 men were employed
at San Pedro. The smelter is nearing
completion and plenty of water has been
developed.
The Baird Mining company, two miles
below Golden, is putting up a 30-stamp
mill and is working rs to 80 men. There
is good body of ore in the Baird. The
company is also working the cement
beds in that section which carry q con-
siderable quantity of gold.
The Old Reliable company, j. B.
Mayo, manager, will start sinking u
we'll in few days. If sufficient water
is developed $25O,OOO plant will be put
up, which will give employment to many
men. There Is an immense body of ore
in the Old Reliable mine.
At Dolores the Edison experimental
mill of the Galisteo Mining company, S.
&. Burn, manager, is working right
along, but the greatest secrecy is main
tanned as to the operation of the plant
and the results that are attained.
The Cerrilos smelter will resume soon,
having been increased in capacity.
The coal veins at Madrid are being
worked steadily with the promise of
great improvements to be put in next
year.
Much prospecting is being done in the
southern part OF the county and many
claim owners are doing their assessment
work. 1t looks now as il southern San
ia Fe county is on the eve of solid and
rapid growth in population and In
wealth.

The SANTA RE SCHOOLS
They Opened This and Last Week with a
Considerable Increase in the Number
Of Pupils in Attendance.
ALMOST 1000 PUPILS ARE ENROLLED

The various institutions of learning
around Santa Fe have started on a most
successful year from the indications so
far. The public schools are crowded as
never before and there is strong de.
mand for more room. In the third ward
no more pupils can be received above
the second grade ON account of lack of
seats TO accommodate them. Over 100
pupils have entered the schools since
the opening, the heaviest increase being
in the third ward above the second
grade. More room will also be needed
for pupils below the fifth grade in the
other wards. The two Spanish classes
are now full and no more pupils can be
taken for the present. The attendance
in the high school has also increased
ard six graduates are now in sight for
the year. The enrolment at the open
ing of school was 3O7 against 2lO for the
same time last year.
LORETTO ACADEMY.
The academy of the Sisters of Lo-
retto, on College street, opened its session
with 4S pupils which is about the same
as were in attendance at the same time
last year. More pupils are expected for
many of them have been delayed in
arrival. OF the 4s pupils now in atten-
dance 30 are from outside of Santa Fe.
Six teachers are employed.
ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE.
St. Michaels college opened with an
attendance of IS, 40 of whom are from
outside of Santa Fe. This is about the
same as last year. Nine teachers are
employed. Last year the total enroll
ment was 1873. They come from all over
the territory and some from Arizona.
PREBYTERIAN MISSION SCHOOL.
The Presbyterian mission school will
open today and the pupils are just
beginning to arrive. The attendance
promised is &C. Seven teachers are en-
ploved. This attendance is larger than
was desired by those in charge who were
anxious to keep it down to so but so
many applied for admission that this
proved to be impossible.
INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The government Indian school opens
for the term with very heavy in
crease of attendance. At the present
time there are $50 pupils and there will
be 800 by the end of this month. Last
year there were only ITO pupils at the
opening of school and only 300 as the
total enrolment for the entire year.
Thus it will be seen that the increase
SO far is 80.
The attendance at St. GATHERINGS In
lian School is about 200 pupils.

THIRTEEN HOUSES SWEPT AWAY.
The Flood Created Some Havoc at Pena
Blanca.

Miss Allison, principal of the Presby-
terian mission school, has received let
ter from Felipe Sandoval Of Pena Blanca,
in which he states that the recent floods
in that vicinity destroyed thirteen houses
in the town and wrought great devasta-
tion. His own house was among those
destroyed and he lost nearly everything.
His daughter was to have attended the
school, and he writes that on account of
the disaster she will be unable to attend
for awhile.
