MORE FOREST RESERVES.
They Will Not be Created Until After Con-
Qress Has Amended Certain Laws.

Rocky Mountain News
Word has been received from
Washington that the department
of the interior has decided to
make no more forest reserves un-
til congress meets and reviseS the
law. A few months ago the
National Live Stock association
called the attention of the de-
partment to the fact that certain
people were taking advantage of
the ignorance of the officials to
have worthless lands set aside as
forest reserves and then rel1n-
quish them to the government
for lieu scrip, with which they
could take up valuable agricul-
tural and grazing lands. The
government, having investigated,
has come to the conclusion that
it is time to call a halt. So fla
grant have been the attempts to
obtain something for nothing
that Secretary Hitchcock has de-
termined to recommend the estab-
lishment of no more forest re-
serves until congress has had an
opportunity to amend the law in
regard to the exchange of lands.

NEW MEXICO SHEEP.
They Outnumber Those of Any Other State
Except on the Assessment Rolls.

Albuquerque journal Democrat
The part of the report of the
census bureau dealing with the
manufactures of New Mexico
says:
Zone notable development of
the decade is the establishment
of four wool-scouring establish
ments within the borders of the
territory. New Mexico has a
larger number of sheep than any
other state or territory, and the
possession of facilities for scour-
ing the wool before it is for
warded to eastern markets is
proving of great advantage to
the growers.
In the census reports of ten
years ago, Texas was given first
place in number of sheep on the
ranges. 1t will be gratifying to
New Mexicans to know that the
territory has eclipsed her gigan-
tic brother in this respect. The
sheep industry is still forging
ahead. During the past year
alone it is estimated that more
than a million new dollars went
into the sheep business.
There's another phase of the
sheep question, however, that
might perhaps not be 50 welcome
to the public. According to the
reports from the various county
assessors, there are half dozer

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE.
All Children Between the Ages of Five and
Sixteen Must Go To School.

Colonel J. Francesca ChaVeS,
the territorial superintendent of
public instruction, has sent the
following letter to the county
superintendents:
Dear Sir: Your more earnest
and careful attention is directed
to section 1855 of the compiled
laws of New Mexico of 1897, in
reference to the compulsory at
tendance of children to the pub
lie schools of their districts from
the ages of 5 years up to and in
Guiding 10 years, and it is, and it
is required and demanded by this
office that superintendent of
schools of different counties of
the territory shall without delay
communicate with the school dir
eCtors within their respective
districts, that they must send
their children to the public school
and that such attendance must
continue for three months, unless
such children are at the time at
tending some good, reputable,
private school each and every
year. The strictest compliance
with and implicit obedience to
this section Of the law is de-
manded of superintendents of
counties, and it is made their i'm
perative duty to see that the
directors of the several districts
respectively give compliance and
obedience to this section of law,
as provided in the section to
which attention has heretofore
already been directed.
Very respectfully, ETC.,
J. Francisco CHAvEs,
Supt. Public Instruction.

BIG MINING DEAL CLOSED.

Silver City, N, NJ, Sept. At
is understood that one Of the
largest mining deals to be con-
summated in this locality for some
time was made last week when
some properties of the Mogollon
mountains, consisting of the Lit
tie Jessie and Copper Glance
groups were sold. The purchas-
ers in the deal were United
States Marshal c. NJ. Foraker,
G. L. Rocks, general live stock
of the Santa Fe railroad; and w.
Stickler, vice-president and cash
ier of the Bank of Commerce of
Albuquerqe.
The new owners will incOrpor-
ate company with a capital
stock of S25O,OOO. The mines
are composed of some of the best
propositions in that district.

ENCOURAGING OIL NEWS.

The stockholders of the Great
Western Oil company of New
Mexico are receiving some very
encouraging reports from their
Guadalupe county fields these
days. There are now seven oil
companies that have located lands
around Santa Rosa, and one of
them has drill on the ground and
will begin boring at once. Experts
who have been Investigating the
oil bearing rock from there claim
that there is no question that oil
will be found. Silver City Inde-

New Mexico in the total of herds.
The census returns may un-
doubtedly be taken as correct.
It follows then that taxes are
paid on little more than half the
number of sheep in the territory.

article impresses

This article impresses the
EAGLE with the tremendous pos
Sibilities of the use of electricity
in the operation of the machinery
of the mines at White Oaks. We
confidently believe that the
amount of money expended to
prope1 the machinery at the Old
Abe mine and pumps would gen.
crate enough electricity to oper-
ate the Old Abe, North and South
Homestakes and Lady Godiva.
The plant could be placed at the
coal mine and all cost of haulage
etc., saved. The enterprise would
also greatly reduce the cost in the
treatment of ores, and enable the
operators to handle with profit
much of the low grade materials
which now 90 over the dump as
waste.
Again owners who are unable
to operate because of the heavy
expense of costly machinery for
steam appliances, could mine
properties which are lying idle
and are only a source of expense
in the way of assessment for un-
patented, and taxes on patented
properties.
The use of electricity is unques-
tionably the solution of the pow
er problem for the operation Of
the properties of this district, and
should be the first consideration
before the introduction of more
cumbersome and expensive ma
chinery. Should the Old Abe,
for example take the initiative,
put in plant at the coal mine,
the issue would be made, and
other properties would follow, as
we'll as the town, in the use of an
electric light plant, and an
electric road to connect us with
the new extension northeast.
The EAGLE would like to see
this matter taken up by those in
terested and something done i'm
mediately. 1t is reasonable and
sensible, and can be made profit
able.

triCity.

triCity.
One of the things which is re-
volutionizing the mining business
is the use of eleCtr1Ca al machinery.
One Of the most notable exam
pies of the transformation of a
mining property from non-work-
able proposition is the great Com
stock lode in Nevada. This lode
was as is we'll known worked to
an immense depth until the cost
of mining became enormous. The
water flow was 50 immense that
the biggest pumps were required
to handle it.
The difficulties to be surmount-
ed were SO great and the expense
50 enormous that the property
was abandoned, but since the cleo
trlcal transmission of power has
become an established fact the
Comstock is again being drained
of the accumulated water and the
chances are that with the imprOv-
ed machinery it will again become
a great dividend payer. The flow
of water from this property is by
some clever devices made to fur
nish electric power to drive the
machinery.
All over Colorado and in the
other mining states of the west
electrical apparatus is coming
more and more into use. Perhaps
no where is this use more general
than in Cripple Creek. Nearly
all the smaller plants have cleo
trio hoists and the larger ones are
being gradually equipped with
them. Every day some properties
are adopting electric power where
it has not heretofore been EN-
ployed. 1t is often much more
easily available than steam power
for a line of poles can be perma
nently affixed to al steep hillside
and maintained summer and win
ter where the utmost difficulty
would be obtained in securing
supplies of coal.
1t seems quite likely therefore
that the coming power of biz
mines and small mines is electri,
power, both by reason of its con
venience and its economy. AnC
by the very reason of its econom,
it will enable small proposition
to develop into paying mines anc
will enable bigger properties t,
pay greater dividends. Dali,

Waite House Clocks.

There are clocks innumerable-his.
torical and commonplace-in the home
of the President of the United States.
But one of the clocks is OF American
make. 1t was bought by James Mon
roe and has always remained in the
green-room. 1t keeps just as good
time as it's foreign contemporaries,
though in the early days America did
not shine as a successful clockmakiEg
country.
The clock in the bluaYat:.or was once
owned by Napoleon sonaparte, who
gave it to Lafayette, who in turn Le-
slowed it upon Washington. 1t has a
frame of alabaster and gilt bronze, and
is wound but once q month. 1t keeps
time to-day as accurately as when it
was new.
The Lincoln clock is in the red room,
and is made Of ebony and gold. 1t
strikes the halves and quarters, as well
as the hours.
In the room now occupied by Mrs.
Mckinley is a clock which has been
ticking away for thirty years. The
clock with which the public is most
familiar is on the stairs leading to tho
Presidents Office, and many a weary
and anxious waiter has watched it's
hands creep relentlessly across the face.
1t is modern and commonplace. The
private secretary has n clock with a
cathedral gong. which is q good time
keeper.

Why Negroes Die Young.

The American Missionary Associa-
ton makes public a report from one
of its representatives in Nashville,
Tenn. concerning the death rate
among the negroes of the South. The
report states that in ten representative
Southern cities for the past five years
the death rate of tile whites has been
90 in 1000; that Of the colored people,
81 in 1000. The South is said not to.
have shown much concern about the
rapid increase of the negro, since the
census Of 1900 made it appear that in
the ten years previous the black race
increased 1924 per cent and white
1881 per cent. The death rate of the
negro is greatest under the age Of 10
and least at the higher ages. The race
is subject to a higher death rate than
the whites from the following dis
eases:
/. Consumption at all ages. but espe-
cially between the ages Of Is and 40.
9. All diseases of infants. The color
ed mother too often does not know how
to take care of her infant.
3. Pneumonia at all ages.
4. Scrofula and contagious diseases
seem also on the increase.

AI M.
An old writer tells OF a pa son who
was counselor to the Grand luke of
Baden, who was a b%eekeeper and prid-
cd himself on being able to handle them
at any time without ever being stung.
He was attacked by a violent fever and
was confined by it for some time. On
his recovery he attempted to resume
his amusement with the bees. and
much to his astonishment found that
they regarded him as a trespasser, at
lacking him with much fury, and never
afterward could he go near them with
out their showing anger. The sickness
or the medicine had evidently created
a change in him, perhaps an odor per-
.eptible and di%sagreeable to the bees
thoughunnoticcd by people around him.
We recollect an old neighbor who had
for years handled bees for himself and
others. without any protection for
hands. arms or face, and seldom or
lever getting stung. yet one day his
own bees stung him without provoca-
lion so badly that it was feared that
he would die. AS we were quite young
then we do not remember whether he
had been sick before this occurrence or
not. but we we'll remember the COM
mcnts on the strange change in their
disposition toward one who had for
many years handled bees without being
stung. We think he never attempted
to handle them afterward.

The Merry Wives Of Windsor by a
person called Shakespeare. The play is
