ABOUT OIL.
Expert Says Oil Will be Struck Soon
 in Mckinley County.

The California expert who is SUI perintendent the boring of well for the Bernalillo Oil company, was in Gallup last Sunday and in conver- sation with the citizens there an nounced it as his opinion, and was willing to make good wager that he would strike a good flow of oil within POO feet of further boring. He stated that the indications for oil on the Me Kinley county oil lands are decidedly more pronounced than are those of Kern county, Cal, where oil wells now exist in large quantities. The gentleman also stated that he believed when oil is struck that the quality would be of a superior grade, and he bases this belief on the seep- age of oil which he has already en- countered.
 The people of Gallup, with only few exceptions, are convinced that oil will soon be struck by some of the various organized companies, and are preparing themselves to meet the big boom which will inevitably fol low such an excitement.
 The Mariana oil company held meeting at the office of w. w. Ris don, the secretary, yesterday morn ing, Gallup, and decided to close sev eral deals now pending with easterr capitalists, who will commence the sinking of several wells on the lands of this company.-Albuquerque Citi l gan

Governor Murphy's Report.

Governor Murphy of Arizona, in his annual report, advocates the sale and settlement of the large Indian reservations within the territory, with the possible exception of the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona, and the government construction of reservoirs for water storage for lrrlga- ton in suitable localities with canals leading to lands allotted to the In dians. The governor says the latter action, in which Indian labor could be largely utilized, would heiP to make farmers of the Indians and that further maintenance of the tribal re- lations as now conducted and the re- tention of reservation agencies around which the Indians cluster in idleness on government rations, most seriously retard the civilization of the red men.
 A number of localities in the terri tory are classified with the census re- turns and the governor alleges that the greatest injustice was done to Phenix, the capital, in fixingits popu- lation at 5,544 only. Its registration for the city election last May, he claims, indicated a population this year of at least 10000. He attributes the discrepancy in the figures to enumeration in the summer, when the people were at summer resorts, and to careless work of enumerators. He says from the school census and other reliable sources the population of the territory is now at least l3o,- 900 as against the census returns of 122,0l2. With the last decade 545 miles of canal have been constructed at a cost of Sl sos, ,469, and irrigated land has increased 1853 acres.

Pension Reforms.

Commissioner of Pensions Evans has made himself exceedingly uu- popular among many of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic. But if the various abuses of which he complains in his annual report are as represented, he cannot be wholly in the wrong. It is difficult to see any thing of injustice or oppression, or denial of the rights of the old soldier in this statement of wrongs which are worked upon the government; in fact, one is compelled to wonder that the existence of these abuses has not compelled remedial action long be- fore.
 The laws are aimed, not at the hon. est pensioner, but to prevent and punish dishonesty. The patriotic soldier who heard his ceuntry's call to duty and who now in his old age finds himself unable to fight the bat tie of life, is entitled to a pension. There are interruptions men who take advantage of their applicants to make fraudulent representations. The hon. est pensioner will not object to all the wholesome restrictions.-Ex.

NEW RAILROAD IN ARIZONA.
Santa Fe to Build Line to Develop
 Western Part of Territory.

One of the most important move ments in years toward the develop ment of the mineral districts of west ern Arizona is in new railroadwhich is being planned by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, to reach from Congress Junction, forty miles north of Phenix, to the Colorado river on the west. The public announcement has not been made, but the Santa Fe officials at Phenix have been informed privately that the survey will begin soon.
 The new line will tap part of tbe richest mineral zone in Arizona, re- zion which has been virtually unex- plored, although prospectors who have penetrated partially into it have found wonderful deposits of mineral. In the Harqua Hala and HarcuvaT mountains many great discoveries of copper and gold have been made, but the inaccessibility of the region, and the consequent extreme difficulty and expense in getting supplies in, and ores out, have prevented extensive operations. The same conditions have existed all along the country south of Bill Williams Fork. In many places evidences of mining by Spaniards and Indians have beer found, but traditions of the latter tell how the scarcity of water drove away the early miners. News of the inten
 tions of the Santa Fe has leaked ou and prospectors and speculators art
 hurrying into the country along tL'
 proposed line.-Albuquerque Citizen

Profit in Angora Goats.

That there are many vacations m this section that pay remarkable re turns for time and labor expended thereon no one who investigates can fail to knd. An instance has lately come to our notice. A gentleman in this county about nine years ago in vested some S30 in goats. He had twenty two head to start in with. He figures that on an average for the nine years he has realized an income from hides and meats of Si00 per year. He now has 100 head valued at S2.5O per head or S1,000. This year he had seven head that raised twentv-one head of young. These are Amgora, but of late he has been breeding up in that line With this breed wool would materially increase the income. Surely this shows there is money in this business. Farming Times.

A Labor Problem.

A Washington dispatch of the l2th says:
 A labor problem, such as has arisen only rarely in the Indian service, con fronts the interior department as a result of the action of fifty Indians of the San Carlos (Arizona) reservation, who, under the leadership of the agency farmer, went to work on roads near the reservation:
 Official advices received by the in terior department today announce that citizens of that vicinity met last night and finallyremonstrated against the employment of Indians on road work outside of the reservation. No details were given. It is said here that the construction work on which the Indians have been engaged is not being done by the government. It Is supposed that the basis of the objec- ton is competition by persons sup ported by the government. The San Carlos Indians have the reputation of being industrious and are hard work ing. A full report has been tele- graphed for.

An impression generally prevails that President Roosevelt is a very wealthy man. The Philadelphia Telegraph has been inquiring into President Roosvelt's finances and finds that he is not a rich man. The Telegraph summarizes to this effect: He has never been wealthy. His per sonal income for many years has been S5,OO0 a year, and the personal income of Mrs. Roosevelt has also been S5,OOO a year. So, by join ing these incomes, the Roosevelt family have lived in fair fashion There have been no e1travagances but everything has been conducted on practical and careful lines. MT Roosevelt's salary as an assembly, man was S1 800 a year. His salary as a United States civil service com missioner under President Harrison was S5,0O0 year.

NAVAL ERROR.

Although the dynamite vessel Ve- suvius threw few shots during the attack upon the Spanish defenses at the mouth of Santiago harbor, no very clear account of what she act ually accomplished has ever been ob- tainable, and the conclusion seems to be that the dynamite artillery did not and was not likely to amount to much. But according to press tel egram, the American navy has at last acquired a dynamite weapon that which is really the terrible destroyer which the Vesuvius was by the ina gination depicted to be when she first started out. The experiments it is stated, are being conducted or Fishers island at the east end oi Long Island sound, the idea being tC make the entrance of the sound i'm pregnable to foreign fleets. If tho statements given are true, the gun is truly terror. It hurls bombs O nitro gelatine more than 5000 yard' with accuracy and rapidity, anC could destroy any vessel that should come within the range.

THANKSGIVING, 1901.
Proclamation by the Governor.

In accordance with honored prece- dent and custom, the president of the United States has proclaimed Thursday, November 2S, da' of thanksgiving and praise.
 While our country mourns for the great American, the foremost citizen of the world, who by divine decree, which we must not question, has been taken from us, we must submit humbly to the will of God and rejoice in his love. "Whom the Lord loyeth he chasteneth." Although we may not understand the inscrutable ways of providence, we are taught to believe and feel that the nation and the people of the world since the first great crucifixion are ma;ie better and stronger by such sacrifices, and that we have all been brought nearer to God with clearer knowledge of our responsibilities and a quickened abil- ity to perform the duties required of us, public and private. It is our duty to accept with contrite spirits the awful lesson, severe and uncalled for as it seems to us, and profit by its teachings.
 We should rejoice and be happy that the republic, resting upon the the imperishable principles of the constitution, is unshaken; and that he to whose keeping more than all others is now entrusted the nations honor is worthy and well qualified" with splendid courage and ability to di- rect the affairs of this, the greatest of all the governments of men. We should rejoice and give thanks for the grand achievements which have ele- vated our nation to the first place and won for it the respect and admira- tion of mankind. We should praise God that our legislators are aroused to the necessity of destroying anarchy and better protecting the highest lib- critics of the people. We should ren- kder joyful praise and grateful ac- i knowledgement to the Giver of all good for unexampled national and territorial prosperity, for bountiful harvests, the great production of pre- cious metals from our mines, for pro: fitable grazing, the the rapid develop ment of our wonderful natural re- sources, the remarkable growth of all commercial interests throughout the country, and the divine grace and favor which enabled our citizens to peacefully pursue their different vo- cations in peace and happiness.
 I therefore recommend and request the people of Arizona to suspend bus mess and observe the day appointed in their homes and churches with ap- propriate services of thankful praise for the blessings we have received and prayers for the continued care and saving guidance of the allwise God-the Supreme Ruler of the uni verse, in whose hands the destinies of nations and of men are as grains of sand.
 In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed at Phenix, the capital, this eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and one.

 Governor of Arizona.

 It is to be hoped that the trans-con- tinental wireless telegraph company may prove check on the lynching habit by doing away with telegraph poles.
 Arthur Pugh German says that he does not want to get into the Senate. Nothing short of the White House will satisfy him. What large chunk of unsatisfied ambition he will have to chew.
 It is to be hoped that Justice Je- rome will have reserved sufficient portion of his energy to make New York too hot a place for the Tammany rascals, even for residence purposes.
 New Mexico's delegation to Wash ington to work for statehood will be appointed by Governor Otero. The convention which met some time since failed to appoint delegation to go Washington.
 Speaking of the recent grand jury report the Jerome Reporter says: The grand jury had trouble principally because of its effort to avoid indictine certain keepers of houses of ill fame within the limits prescribed as sacred to court houses and schools. Th' jury's report sounds more like th' production of an attorney paid to de fend the practice. It might not b' amiss to call an investigation of th' grand jury.

Ths ChIIdren's Friend.

You'll have a cold this winter. Maybe you have one now. Your children will suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, grippe and other winter complaints One Minute Cough Cure never fails. Acts promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste and per fectly harmless. c. B. George, Win chester, Ky, writes: Our little girl was attacked with croup late one night and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of One Minute Cough cure. It relieved her immediately and she went to sleep. When she awoke next morning she had no signs of hoarse- ness or croup." Brisley Drug Co.

 Secretary Gage has decided to buy in government bonds, thereby re- ducing the immense surplus in the treasury, which would be a tempta- tion to extravagant appropriations when congress meets.
 Manufacturing industries which not only supply the home demand, but large proportion of the worlds requirements have resulted from the republican doctrine of protection This is the stern fact which gives to the democratic free trade doctrine that wan, pale look.
 Reciprocity Certainly we will have reciprocity whenever the con ditions are ripe for it, whenever for eign nations conclude to come to oU terms. The party that has built ur American industries to their present prosperous conditions may be relied upon to neglect no policy that vii insure national benefit.
 Another murder has been added tc the record of crimes committed 1T San Francisco on account of the strike. A teamster was waylaiC while on his way home from his work and knocked down by man with a piece of gas pipe and killed.
