| NEWSPAPER REPORTER
UNWORTHY OF THE CALLING.

1t is said on good authority that a
certain newspaper reporter made some
money out of the carnival fakirs on his
own account last week.
1t is said that the reporter called on
some of the men who were operating
sure thing games on the streets and
told them that he was going to expose
their scheme. He offered to let them
off light if they would pay him a GER
tain sum of money every day during
the carnival. 1t is also said that the
same reporter suggested such work to
other men in the profession who re-
fused to have anything to do with
his scheme.

Heard In
Hotel lObbieS.

Colonel James Bean, of New York,
returned last night from his gold mines
near JicarillaS, New Mexico. The
Jicarillas district will be a good min
ing country and a great deal of money
can be made there after the Rock Is
land railroad is completed" said the
colonel to a Herald reporter at the
Sheldon this morning. THAT country
is full OIL gold prospects that have new
er been worked on account of the dis
lance from the railroad. Now that a
road is going through that section it
will be an important mining country,
lall of which is tributary to Ell Paso.
The Rock Island road will open a large
territory that has heretofore been I'M
touched. Low grade ore can be found
all along the line for hundred miles
above White Oaks and it can ali be
worked when railroad facilities are Sc
cured. There is every kind of mineral
in the Jicarillas, most of which is
cheap grade but all can be worked with
profit in the future. The finest coal
fields in the west will also be opened
by the new road, not to mention the
small farms that will be opened there
The Rock Island is going to be an i'm
portant road to Ell PasO and will help
this city to become the greatest min
ing center in the country. 1t takes
railroads to develop a mining country
and the new roads coming into Ell Paso
will do more for this city than can be
imagined. l look forward to the time
when FL Paso will be the greatest min
ing and smelling center in the Coun-
try"
Texas now produces the best range
cattle in the country" said Ed Farr
of the Albuquerque markets. at the
Zeiger. I'VE have been buying Texas
range cattle in preference to the Kan
sas corn fed stock and have found
them better. OF course this does not
apply to the cattle off the south Texas
ranches where they are poisoned with
ticks. The mountain ranges of the
Maria and Alpine country produce the
best cattle and they are as fat as any
corn fed stock. l have bought 100
head from the Maria district this year
and have been thoroughly satisfied"
