The Arizona & New Mexico railway,
so long familiarly known as the ''nar-
row gauge" but now known AZ the
"high line," has got its track in such
shape that it has settled down to regu-
lar business. Owing to its carrying Ca
pacity it will not be necessary to run
more than one train day for The pres

returning at night. Nos 6 and 5, which
left here in the morning and returned at
night, have been taken off, but prob

months, when the Shannon and few
more OF the large companies recently

Mr., s. P. Clark has been appointed by
the board OF trade as minister plenipot-
entiary and envoy extraordinary to the
Denver chamber of commerce and to
every other Colorado chamber OF COM
merce he can get acquainted with. Mr..
Clark will spend the GUNNER there and
will devote all his spare time to the ad-
vertising of this valley and territory, not
only as health resort, but as a region
offering great opportunities for invest
ment. He says he intends to pay special
attention to the mining industry and
one OF his greatest delights will be totell
mining men in Colorado what wonder
full thing the Orc Grande mine ia, and
that there are innumerable prospects in
the same region that are just as promis-
ing as far as developed. He says that
when Colorado mining men see some
thing on the surface that looks good,
their general custom is TO go down till it
really gets good. That is what the
Wiekenburg district needs-development
and when the many prospects there
abont-are fully explored it is believed by
all mining men who are familiar with the
ground, that the Orc Grande will be
only one of many good mines. Mr..
Clark believes that il the Colorado men
get started this way they will come with
rush.--Phoenix Republican.
Word was received in Clifton Sunday
last that the body OF Mexican had
been found on Harper's Mesa, several
miles north and east of Metcalf. The
deceased was a wood chopper, and in
company with another Mexican left the
camp about week before the finding of
the body, hunting burros, each carrying
a Winchester. After they had been
gone few days the Mexican for whom
they were working became alarmed over
their absence and commenced hunting
for them. 1t seems that the companion
of deceased was first to give notice Of
the killing. He told someone that his
partner had been killed, after which he
left the country, and has not since been
heard from. 1t is said that beef which
had been quartered was found short
distance from the body, which is con-
sidered significant. The Era has been
frequently informed that cattle are being
killed in all parts OF the country by
woodchoppers, and the stockmen gen.
orally are getting pretty tired Of it. 1t
is said that every camp of Mexican
woodchoppers are well supplied with
ierkey, and the stockmen are on the
lookout for those who kill the CATTLE
