Cervera at Santiago. Admiral Sampson
was Ia charge OF the blockade, and de-
vised all the plans for IT, and gave the
orders indicating how the vessels should

A Big Snow Storm.

The storm of last week has
been the heaviest in years. The
snow began to fall at 10:45 in
the forenoon on Friday, Feb
ruary 1, and has continued every
day, with the exception of Tues
day, ever since. During that
time the records of the local
weather bureau show a snowfall
of eight feet, or total precipi-
tation of $50 inches of rainfall.
It is not meant that there is s
feet of snow on the ground here
and hereabouts, as the weather
has been mild and the snow is
packed, but it is from three to
four feet deep all over the Col
orado plateau.
The drouth of the past five
years has been broken and there
will be water in every spring
and water hole during this year,
and the town of supply of wa
ter will be unlimited for the
greater portion of the year. The
indications are that the storm
is not over, and the weather bu-
reau predicts snow for to-day
and tomorrow. Nobody in this
neck of the woods object to the
storm continuing during the rest
of this month.
The storm of two weeks ago
was a good one, being heavy
snow and about four inches OF
water fell during the storm.
The weather has been mild dur
ing the storm, the lowest tempe
rature being four degrees above
ro.-Coconino Sun.

The following item from a
Missouri paper is well worth re-
printing: "When we were pub
fishing a paper in Mt. Vernon,
ILL.,, in 1872, on the second floor
a store opened in the room un-
der our office. The senior pro-
prietor came up stairs and con-
tracted for three columns OF
space for twelve months, with
locals and $500 dodgers each
week. He remarked thatit was
a snap to get into a town where
other business men did not ad
vertise. The firm started out
on borrowed capital. In three
years it had money enough to
start two stores, one in Sedalla
and one in St. Louis. 1t dis
solved partnership and each
partner took a field to himself.
Byron Nugent was the partner
who made the contract, and is
now the senior member of b.
Nugent & Bro, the great st.
Louis house. He not only owns
the store, building and grounds,
but has erected a nice little cot
tage home that cost him S87, 900.
We must say that some of the
old mossbacks who were in busl-
ness in Mt. Vernon before By
ron Nugent ever saw that place.
and who never advertised, are
still in business and grumbling
about the dull trade and hard
times. "

The Tucson Star is RESPONSE
BILE for the following: The little
town of Naco, ten miles from
Bisbee, is typical western
town, and if an easterner would
have dropped in there one even
ing last week, he certainly would
have thought that he had struck
the wild and woolly west. The
evening in question a young wo-
man tried to kill herself with a
revolver, but did not succeed.
The same night a woman across
the line in Naco, Sonora, took a
big dose of poison with suicidal
intent, but was saved by the
physicians. A little later one
of the citizens was held-up by
two men, and the wind-up came
by a party of cow-punchers tax.

The Topeka State Journal,
one of the best informed papers
on railroad matters in this coun-
try, says: The Santa Fe is max
ing numerous improvements.
Recently it acquired the Pecos
Valley system of $40 miles of
road through rich territory in
TEXAS and New Mexico. Over
500 miles of new track will be
laid in 1901. 1t is said to have
just purchased the California
and Nevada railway, acquiring
e valuable right of way, which
will enable it to land trains at
Oakland instead of Port Rich
mond, California. The Santa
Fe is determined to make it's
overland route to the Pacific un-
surpassed. Surveyors for this
road have been carefully Choos
ing the proposed route from AL
buquerque to Durango. A branch
TO Roswell, New Mexico, from
Albuquerque is also contem
plated, San Angelo, Texas, and
Pecos will be connected during
the next twelve months. A
heavy cattle traffic will repay
these investments in New Mexl-
co and Texas. The Colorado
extension to Durango will open
up one of the richest fruit sec
tions in America. It's minerals
are also important. Increased
overland travel to the Pacific is
noted.

ter was received here from Da-

preventing the consolidation of
the San Francisco Mountains
forest reserve, and to use the
language of Delegate Wilson,
"Coconino county is up against
the real thing" in this matter.
Mr.. Babbitt also states that in
an interview with Binger Her
man, commissioner of the land
department, Mr.. Herman said
the first order issued after the
consolidation would be one or
dering all the horses and cattle
off the reserve. A hearing of
all parties interested was set for

here at this time as to the re-

Human Hearts.

We clip the following from a
San Francisco exchange:
Human Hearts was present
ed last night at the California
Theater, and it held large at
tendance all through with IN
wonted absorption. There was
d whole souled villain of the
unmitigated type. and he was
played with impressive repose
by Sully Guard. There was not
a soft place in his nature, ex-
cept that he was called COW
ard very often. He was pure
ly business villain; he never had
a moment of gayety. He never
came on the stage unless he was
suggesting or ordering iniquity
or CRIME of some kind. But Mr..
Guard was SO thoroughly earn
est about it and quiet that he
was more than interesting. He
had, of course, his companion in
crime, an adventures as unmit-
igated, only once in a while she
had spasm of love for her child
and she appeared liable to re-
form, but never did. The hero
was the adventures husband.
and he was imprisoned for the
murder of his own father, which,
of course, the other fellow was
guilty of. There were really
some very touching, if theatri-
cal, scenes. An old blind wo-
man, the hero's mother, was af-
fecting. A sott-hearted COVER
nor, a boot black, a true sweet
heart, a kindly prison warden,
very attractive child and a hi
lariouS, humorous and merry
tramp, who weakened on all his
villainy the villain wanted him
to commit for $1,000, made up
quite an interesting little crowd.
The acting was quite good. The
tramp was the most unctuous
we have had in long time.
