THE LIBERAL received this week
the prospectus of the New Mexico oil
company, q company that has been
organized in Los Angeles for the pur-
pose of boring wells, which it hopes
will produce oil, which II Will be able
to sell at a large profit. 1t is probably
named the New Mexico Oil company
because so many OF its officers are
former New Mexicans, but 1t would
have been appropriate to call il
the Grant county oil company.
Among the officers are VIM. Brahm,
r. L. Powell, George d. Jones, all
formerly Of Silver City, and p. Ii. Nc
Dermott, formerly Of Steeplerock.
Like most oil companies it Is Offering
a small portion Of its stock to the pub
lie at greatly reduced figures, much
less than par, and confidently expects
that all purchasers az its stock will
reap rich returns on the investment,
which expectation the LIBERAL
hopes will be realized.

SATURDAY Secretary Of State Hay
received a CIPHER message from Min
lister Conger at Pekin, saying he was
alive, but that relief must come soon
or all would be killed, he was in the
British legation, which is the best
fortified place in Pekin. This message
came through the Chinese minister at
Washington. Secretary Hay had
given him a message TO Minister Con-
ger, and demanded an answer. II Is
thought by government officers that
the message is genuine and that Min.
lister Conger was alive on the 18th.
The European governments think the
message is a fake. They believe the
ministers are all killed, and that the
Chinese scored the American CIPHER
code, and by It's aid faxed the message.
One thing is certain, that is IL Minis
ties Conger sent the message he made
few particulars. The world is looking

wanted quickly. The various Europe

and rescue the foreigners there IL they

that some other government will get

chosen To have charge OF all the troops.
General ChaGee will be there in a day
or so, and will have sumo ten thousand
american troops back of him. II is
probable that he will cut loose from
Che base OF supplies and make 4 dash
for Pekin, trusting that the American
troops who will come later, as soon
as they a be got there, will open
the line Of communication from Pekin
TO the coast. II the Europeans a

have deal of difficulty deciding just wha,

wholly unintelligible-too unintelligible to
be entertaining. Even comic opera crea-

ough's fashion OF pranoing about the stage
was reminiscent of nothing so much as the

dams once were wont to cavort. The entire
effort was triumph Of the toughest and
least praiseworthy in fun making.
