TWIeE-A-WEEk REPUBLIC,

Every Monday and Thursday a
newspaper as good as maga-
zine and better, for it contains
the latest by telegraph as well as
interesting stories--is sent to the
subscriber of the Twice-a-Week
Republic which is only 81 year.
The man who reads this paper
knows all about affairs political,
domestic and foreign events; is
posted about the markets and
commercial matters generally.
The woman who reads the Re
public gathers bit of informa-
ton about household affairs and
late fashions and recreation in
the stories that come under both
the headings of fact and fiction.
There is gossip about new books
and a dozen other topics of cs-
pecial interest to the wide-a-wake
man or woman,

ADEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.

Friday morning about one
o'clock Will Pelphrey, who was
working on the night shift at
the box factory, met with a shock
ing and painful accident. While
engaged i'll feeding one of the
planers and attempting to fix some
thing that had gone wrong with
out taking the precaution to stop
the machinery, the glove which
he was wearing was caught in
some manner and quick as a flash
his hand was drawn into the
planer, severing his arm above
the wrist. 1t was all done sc
quickly that he could scarcely
realize for a moment that the ac.
cident had occurred.
The hospital surgeon took the
hand off at the wrist but the bone
was so badly crushed that the
doctor found it necessary to take
the arm off midway between the
wrist and elbow. He is getting
along nicely now and it is thought
will be able to be out in a few
days.

mendous deposits of refractory
ores in the surrounding districts,
there is no question but that
prosperous town would spring up.
Besides smelter, coal is in near
proximity to them for coke ovens,
a branch of five miles will reach
the fields of White Oaks which is
an excellent coking coal, also as
a blacksmithing coal, it has no
superior in the west. Furnaces
might also be added and a plant
put in to handle the iron of Lone
Mountain.
OF course this is to a great ex-
tent speculation, but no less pos
sible. For such conditions water
is necessity and must yet be de-
veloped. Again the advisability
of having all of these industries
where fuel, water, and soforth
are on the ground, which would
bring them all to White Oaks, is
to be considered. White Oaks as
mining center is continually
growing in Importance, and will
from this time forward be the
greatest gold producing camp in
New Mexico, and as we grow we
would like to see Carrizozo town
of three thousand inhabitants in
as many months.

OTERO COUNTY NEWS.
LITHOGRAPHlC STONE.
ADVERTISER.

ADVERTISER.
A very fine quality of litho-
graphic stone has been discovered
in Otero County. The Otero
County Advertiser, the new and
enterprising democratic paper at
Alamogordo says:
"Dr. E. S. Eldridgc and B.
Schreiner have arrived from Cleve-
land, Ohio, to commence the de-
velopment of the quarries.
The stone was found by Chas.
Hickerson in the spring of 1900,
and small lot was sent away
for test. 1t gave such satisfac-
ton that an order for one thou
sand pounds was filled Immediate
ly, and the shipment, which was
composed of stones of various
sizes, and was subjected to the
hardest tests known to the trade,
being pronounced equal in every
respect to the best photographic
stone imported to this country
from Germany.
A company has been quietly
formed, and possession of the
properties obtained. Mill site and
water rights have been secured,
and cutting and polishing machin-
cry will be installed in the near
future. The enterprise will en1-
ploy a large force of men, and
will be the only institution of the
kind in the United States.
For many years the litho-
graphic stone has been sought in
the United States, and hundreds
of tests have been made, but none
except this deposit have proven
equal to the demand for finest
working qualities. A car load,
says the Advertiser will be ship.
ped, as soon as men and money
can quarry it and put it aboard
the cars.
All the stone of this character
used in lithography is imported
and should this discovery be put
on the markets it will be the
source of mintage of money foI
the owners.

THE LAW on SALE OF LIQUORS.
COPIES OF THE ACT MUST BE POST
Ed BY DEALER.

Under new law passed by the
thirty-fourth Legislative assembly,
and approved by the governor, it
is made unlawful for any person
in New Mexico to sell or give to
any minor under 18 years of age,
or any pupil of any school or
educational institution in this
territory, any Intoxicating liquor
or any cigars, cigarettes or tobac-
co in any form, except upon the
written consent of parents or
guardian.
1t is unlawful for any merchant,
apothecary, saloon-keeper, or the
proprietor or manager of any
other establishment in which in
toxicating liquors or tobacco in
any form are kept, or offered for
sale, to permit any minor under
the age of Is years, or pupil in
any school or educational institu-
ton, to engage in any play or
game of chance with cards, dice,
wheels, or the manipulation of
any device by means of which
money or any commodity or prop
erty may be hazarded, won or lost;
or to permit any minor under the
age of 21 years or any pupil in
any school or educational institu-
ton, to loiter upon or frequent
the premises belonging to such
saloon, or to engage in games or
amnsements of any kind thereon.
The penalty for violation of
these provisions is fine of not
less than $25 nor more than S1OO,
or by Imprisonment for thirty
days or three months, or both
such fine and Imprisonment.
The new law received executive
approval February IS, 1901, and
is therefore now in full force and
effect.
One of its most important pro-
visions is section 4, which reads
+ as follows:
EVERY person maintaining any
establishment where Intoxicating
liquor or tobacco in any form are
kept or offered for sale is required
to keep posted in conspicuous
place within his place of business
a printed copy of this law, and it
shall be unlawful for any such
person to carry on his business
without having such copy at all
times posted as aforesaid"
Any person convicted of violat-
! ing the foregoing provision shall,
in addition to other penalties,
forfeit his license and right to
carry on such business in the
county where the offense is COM
mitted for the period of one year.
