General Bloomfield returned
home Friday morning from "A two
weeks visit to Pagosa. He says
he is feeling good and will take
hold of the business that has been
accumulating in his office tor sew
eral weeks in good earnest.
While in Pagosn the General
imbibed some of the OIL excitement
which pcrvades the whole town
and allowed his friends to issue
him some oil stock. Experts
from Pennsy ylvania, Texas and
California have pronounced the
indications good and claim the oil
is phosphate, excellent for illum-
mating purposes hut not good rs
lnbricaiing oil.
Test wells are now being sunk
and all the land for miles has been
staked and Iensed. The question
of what to do with the oil If they
get any has not been considered.
Pagosa looks to the San Luis
Valley for hay. potatoes and grain.
Last year 300 cars of hay were
shipped from her" TO Archule,ta

 The townsite company, of which Harry White is the managing owner, seems. to have been overlooked by many of the citizens, who refuse to acknowledge .he claims of the com- pany and sell their lots as though the townsite company had never exdsted. The company claims 80 acres under the name of the Nook Townsite Company.

BAD MEN
 .DEPORTED Twelve Prisoners Sent Out on
 the Warren.
TO. .M'NE!LL'S ISLAND
The Destination of the Convicted Hen Among Them Were George Alle4, Tommy DOIan and Geo. Hawkins, All Under Fifteen Years Sentence.

On board the Warren, which sailed from Nome yesterday for Seattle, were twelve prisoners, who had been con- fined in the federal jail since last winter. All are under sentences vary ling from eighteen months to fifteen years
 The prisoners were marched from the jail about 9 o'clock to.a barge near the mouth of Snake river, from whence they were lowed by tug to the War ren. They were handcutfed in pairs. A few seemed in good spirits, and were not, apparently, averse to the prospect of the change of scene and climate, which McNeill's island penitentiary. the place where they will be confined, promises to afford them for some time to come.
 The three men who attracted the att tention of a large crowd of curious peo- pie, which followed the prisoners to their place of embarkation, were Geo. Allen, Tommy Dc Ian and Gear Haw- kins, the three m.n who are under sentence of l5 years each.
 The prisoners were in charge of Dep uty Marshal Adam Johnston, who will see them to their destination. Accom- panying him as guards were Frank Welsh, l.. C. Wynegar and F. P. Rees. United States Marshal Richards and Deputy Marshal Leekley also accom- panied the barge to the transport.
 Of course, the greater amount of in- terest centered in the long-term pris- oners, Allen, Dolan and Hawkins. These men, as will be remembered, were convicted of assaulting and rob bing K. J. Embleton on the night of Dec. 2 last. Allen is the son of John B. Allen,. a former United States sen- ator from Washington state. Since his incarceration in the jail his conduct has been fairly exemplary, and he has ever expressed his confidence in the ability of his father to obtain pardon for his erring son.
 Following ane be names of the pris- oners and the ms for which they have been ~senteNced: Tom Carlton, three years;% R. Simms, eighteen months; J. Higgins, eighteen months; T. Ainswor:h, two years; M. Cohen, one year; J. Kelly, two years; J. Smith, five years: Harry Davis, five years, all on convictions of larceny; and George Allen, Thomas Dolan and George Haw- kins.

MAN DROWNED
 NEAR FORT DAVIS
Soldiers of Companies A and K BraveIy Oo to the Rescue and
 Save Two Others.

Fort Davis, July l5.-A boat from the Warren, while coming ashore, was struck by a heavy wave and nearly stood it on its end. There were four persons in the boat. Two of them were thrown overheard. One of them se- cured an oar as it fell overheard, and managed to keep, ahoat until he was saved by three soldiers who weut to his rescue. The other, not knowing how to twin, soon sank, and was washed ashore about ten minutes after ward. All attempts to revive him failed.
 The two others who stuck to the boat padded ashore with one oar. Their names are not known here. The sol diers who went so bravely to the rescue were Privates Lawrence and Sauvill, of Company A, and Private Neider- hauser, of Company K.

the court house upon another matter. The judge handed him his dismissal Mr.. Borchsenius read it and asked for an explanation. Judge Noyes," said Mir. Borchsenius, ''refused to give any. It would cause bad blood, he said, and trouble.
 "Tll tell you sometime" he said, 'but not now" Then he handed him the letter. "Your friends and my friends" continued the judge, ''are enemies, and have pounded me from the start.''
 '"I told him." said Mir. Borchsenius, "that was not my fault, and he said: T knO~ you've been honest and faith full. have no fault to find with the performance of your work. You have had hard and responsible position to fill, and have attended to your duties, but itwouldn't do to tell you at this time why removed you.''
 Mir. Borchsenius says that after he came back from St. Michael he got onto the judges scheme to remove him. He went to the judge and said: Judge, some of these fellows are knocking me. Whats the matter with them?" And the judge smiled blandly and remarked: "You go on about your business: when want to discharge. you I'll tell you. You have even 8 more responsible po- sition than myself Even if l wanted to remave you don't know of anyone who could get the bonds. You go right along anu say nothing" '"Ihe judge was suave, amiable and plea sant," said Mr.. Borchsenius.
 According to Mr. Borchsenius, bills against the clerk of the court have been paid under protest. Accounts have been allowed that are not legal, and he will be the immediate sufferer, as the department will not allow them. One instance is here cited, but there are a number of others. John T. Reed, the Nome deputy, presented bill for expenses, and the clerk refused to allow it.
 II want you to. pay these bills," said the judge.
 "The department won't allow them, said the clerk.
 "Never mind: you pay them, or I'll c0,u,nit yO,1 fOr cOntomnt Who' 'S judge of the law-you or me?"
 The bill was paid under duress, and so were others, amounting to several thousands of dollars.

A DISGuS1ED
 MAIL CARRIER
-Rural Free Delivery System Be- tween Nome and Gold Run Hay
 Fall to the Ground.

F. w. Meyers, rural free delivery mail carrier between Nome and Gold Run, made his initial trip and returned Monday, somewhat disgusted, after a hard trip. He found'th people along the route not disposed to show him the slightest encouragement. The road house keepers welcomed him for his money and were eager to get it.; the lone ferrymen over the different streams smiled sardonically when he intimated that a mail carrier of Uncle Sam should receive some consideration, and were obdurate. They cared noth- ing for the mail carrier or his mission, but they loved his dollars. Mir. Meyers says he is willing to continue on .the route provided his pay can be increased $75 per month. The matter R be laid before the Merchants E1 heP, as itis one that directly concern
 business interests of Nome. RegUl
 communication with outlying mining districts means business for Nome.
