Report comes from chihuahua that

Peacock & Mcconnell of TT. Worth
have had the mine bonded for some

and famous mine. 1t was worked with
great success by the Spaniards and
produced millions for an English COM

BIG FAIR LAUNCHED.
A movement to inaugurate big fair
at Chihuahua has been started in that

the spirit of anti-manana to great ex-
tent. Gov. Ahumada is one of the
heartleSt supporters of the movement
and probably he received MS inSpira-
from the Mormons while attending
their fair at Colonia Juarez in August.
While attending that fair he expressed
his intention of inaugurating a state
fair to be held at the state capital.
One of the main objects of the fair is
TO encourage the raising of fine stock
IN Mexico and premiums will be given
10 the Mexican ralsers of Herefords
and other fine breeds. Every effort
will be made to make it successful
that will Guido anything of
