A wealth of thrilling romance pervades
the history of san Xavier del Boo.
Charles Dudley Warner spent a day in

cathedral and mission when he was in
Arizona in 1892 San Xacier del Boo is
probably the oldest of all the mission
structures, as it IS the best preserved,
bit there Is another about which clings
more mystery than san Xavier. 1t is
known today as the mission Of the Pueb-
ltos. though its true name is hidden
somewhere in the archives of the Jesuit
order IN far-off Spain It was perhaps
the first mission erected in Arizona The
legends of the Indians say St was built
several years before San Xavier, and il is
known to have been in ruins since 100
The ruins stand about TWO miles south
east Of the city Of Tucson. on a mesa
overlooking The river, and are in the last
stages of decay The roof has long since
tumbled in and the walls Of stone and
cement have fallen down, leaving great
gaps through which the cool winds from
the canons Of the San Ritas blow The
plaster has fallen from the walls. and

numerous coal deposits in the
country east OF Denver which ulti

Farce Comedy To-Morrow.

With the advent of the vaude
vile theatre came complete
change in farce comedy produc.
tions, and the change has become
so marked that the average farce is
only step behind the operate
and extravaganza productions
which always delight the eye and
ear as dazzling costumes and beau
tiful scenery form an important
factor in the up to date play, TAX
ing the place of inferior vaudeville
turns which in former years con
stituted the major portion OF these
entertainments. Wood g. Ward,
who with their big company pre-
sent the 1.-Two Merry Tramps" at
the La Junta Theatre to morrow
evening, December 5th, are among
the leaders in this particular kind
Of amusement, having surrounded
themselves with artists who not
only entertain with pleasing spec
ialties, but who also possess sing
ing voices capable of presenting in
highly satisfactory manner the
numerous operate novelties writ
ten especially for this company.

Ls.Junt. Coal.

The discovery OF coal near La
Junta is an important thing for
that part nj the Arkansas Valley,
says the Denver Republican. 1t
will provide means with which to
supply La unta aad the other
towns in that section with cheap
fuel, and POSSIBLY will become
large enough to admit OF shipping
some OF it TO Kansas.
Gradually the people of Colo
RADIO are learning more and more
about its resources, and when one
considers how much ground there
is to exploit and how small as yet
the population is, the thought sug-
gests itself that the wealth re-
vealed at this time may seem small
in comparison with that which
may be disclosed in the future.
Development OF the coal banks
near La unta may make that com
munity independent of the sources
OF supply near Canon City, Trini-
dad, and other points where coal
is mined. 1t may reduce the cost
of manufacturing sugar in the east
ern part of the Arkansas Valley,
and open the way for the establish
ment of various other kinds of
manufacturing suitable for that
section.

CHINA WILL YIELD.
EARL Ii SO NOTIFIES THE PEkiN
ENJOYS.
Some Demands Meet with Criticism
Razing of Forts, Creation of Lega-
ton Guards and Army Posts Cited
] Speedy Settlem emit Thought Near.

Earl Li-Hung- Chang on Sunday noti-
fed the foreign ENJOYS in Pekin that the
Chinese plenipotentiaries had been order
ed TO sign the preliminary joint note
The announcement came as a pleasant
surprise to the ENJOYS. No definite reply
to the note from the Chinese court had
been expected for a week to come and
in the prompt action of the Emperor are
seen most encouraging signs of desire
on the part of the government TO hasten
a final adjustment of the differences.
While the joint note in question is but
preliminary in the various stages at
tendant upon the restoration Of a normal
condition of affairs in the Orient, it Is
the point on which the greatest clash of
interests was expected. With the joint
note accepted the way for agreement on
more detailed and specific peace terms
is cleared. The additional steps TO be
taken in closing the international affair
can now be taken with haste which has
not characterized any Of the proceedings
thus far
The Chinese plenipotentiaries them
selves We're greatly astonished at receiy-
ing the imperial instructions to sign the
joint note
The Emperor's instructions are to agree
fully to the note, but to endeavor to get
the best terms possible, particularly in
the matter Of limiting the number of the
legation guards and also as to the places
where these are to be located.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed to
endeavor to limit the number of army
posts along the line of railway to as few
as possible and finally to request the pow
ers not to destroy the forts, but merely
to disarm them.
