city, now of El Paso, entered the
school of mines Wednesday for
special work in the laboratory.
John f. Fullerton was in town

In the mention of those who
sang at the entertainment at the
Episcopal church last week the
name of Mrs. A. B. Richmond

was much enjoyed by all present,
Mrs. Richmond's as much as any.

ing young lady from Philadel=
