THE following trenchant editorial In

Interest by everybody interested in Ell
Paeo's welfare. 1t is headed "El Paso
and The Southwest":
Those familiar with the location OF
Ell Paso, Tex, know it as the CONNER
eial center of large. rich and pro-
ductive section of the Southwest, in
cluding portions of New Mexico, Ariz-
ona, Texas and Old Mexico. 1t is also
the gateway to Mexico, and Is rxil-
road center, reached by the Santa Fe
tie Southern Pacific, the Texas Paci
fc and Mexican Central.
No c,sy is more admirably located
for all purposes of trade than Is El
Paso. The country naturally tribut-
ary to it is especially rich in minerals
and largo mining industry is growing
up in nearly every direction from ths
city. To center these mining interests

it en- hand for the es,s blishment OF q
mint, and Influences are at work seek
ing the necessary legislation from con-
gress. A mining exchange is also
desired, as well as permanent miner
al exhibit.
The idea of q mineral exhibit Is
very earnestly urged byMr. SIN. Davis
in IA excellent communication to the
El Psso herald of a recent date. Mr.
Davis points out the commanding posi-
tion of the city as regards the mining
districts and resources surrounding it
aud suggests that Ell Paso reproduce
ths palace of the Montezumas" a. il
was found by Corsez some 500 years
ago, and fill it with q mineral display
that shall represent the whole South
west, and particularly the rich districts
of the nor thern states Of Mexico.
Mr.. Davis is not mistaken in his
estimate Of the influence that such sn
exhibit would have not only in at
tracing capital and investments to
said districts, but in centering their
interests in FL Paso.
The suggestion is one that should
receive ,he prompt atte1tion and
cordial cooperation OF the citizens of
Ell Paso, not alone as q schena for
their own local benefit, but for the
impetus that it would give to the min
iug industry Of the whole South west.
with whose future the destiny OF that
city is so closely identified.

 ssI beg to suggest" remarked Dunlap, ''that the shots heard by the policeman and his prisoner were not fired from the inside of the bank"
 That appears quite likely admitted Aurdock; but they must at any rate have been fired in close proximity to the bank, since the. witnesses agree that they appeared to come from in- side. In that case, whence were they fired? By whom? And why? On the whole. my little puzzle does ret seem to -.e s:> #: chosen. What IS your own opinion, MT. Sturgis?''
 ''I quite agree with you that the problem is probably not so simple as it seemed at first blush to Sprague.
 ''Very we'll. Then doubtless you are willing to undertake the task of supply ing whatever data may be required to complete the chain of evidence against Quinlan?'
 By no means" replied Sturgis, de- cidedly.
 indeed? An! well, of course, if MT. Sturgis wishes to withdraw his bet" II do not wish to withdraw my bet, said Sturgis; Il will agree to solve your problem within 30 days or to forfeit my stakes; but I cannot undertake to prove the truth or falsity of any a priori theory. I have no personal knowledge of the matter as yet, and therefore no theory"
 Quite so,'' observed Murdock, iron ically. Il had forgotten your scientific methods. Of course, it may turn out that it was the policeman who stole the satchel from Shorty Dutf.''
 "Perhaps,'' answered Sturgis, imper- turbably.
 Murdocll smiled.
 "Wen, gentlemen" said he, q ac- cept Mr. Sturgis' conditions. If you are willing,' he continued, turning to the reporter, "our host will hold the stakes and decide the wager"
 '.I. for one, agree with Sprague,' said Dr. Thurston. T am disappointed in the problem. l have seen Sturgis un- ravel some extremely puzzling tangIes in my day; and each case would not be hard to find. Why, no longer ago than this evening, on our way here, we stumbled upon a most peculiar case -eh-oh!-er-please pass the cognac, Sprague. I wish I had some like it in my cellar; it is worth it's weight in gold"
 Dr. Thurst on had met Sturgis' steady gaze and had understood that, for some reason or other, the reporter did not wish him to relate their adventure of the afternoon.
 Only one person appeared to notice the abrupt termination of his story. This was Murdock, who had looked up at the speaker with mild curiosity and who had also intercepted the reporters warning glance at his friend. He ob- served Dr. Thurston narrowly for a full minute, appeared to enjoy his clumsy effort to cover his retreat, and then quietly slipped his coffee.
