ALBUQUERQUE EAGLES.
They Held an important Meeting Last
Evening.

good attendance was had at the
meeting of the Eagles over Zeiger's
Cafe last night. 1t was a special meet
ing and the business was to discuss
and make preliminary arrangements
to attend the meeting of the grand
aerie of Eagles, which will be held in
New York city in September next. The
coming grand meeting promises to be
the largest and grandest event yet held
in the history of these noble birds, and
the Albuquerque aerie proposes to send
a goodly delegation of well feathered
fowls. It will be a good advertisement
for the southwest, and, if possible, the
city should help push it along.
Ed Richie was chosen chairman of
last nights meeting and Nat Greene
acted as secretary.
After a thorough canvas of the situa-
tion, committee was appointed TO
consult the Eagles of the city as to the
ways and means of sending the delega-
tion to New York, and report at a
meeting to be held next Tuesday night,
as to what progress it had made. 1t
was also suggested that the Eagles of
the neighboring cities be corresponded
with and invited TO take part in the
movement.
If a sufficient number become men,
bers of the club arrangements can be
made for the trip being made in a pri-
vate car.
The committee appointed to get out
among the Eagles of the city was as
follows:
Ed. Richie, Nat Greene, Coral F.
Roberts. Charles Hubbell, John Horton,
w, h. Baird, Aaron Flory. Neil Wills,
A. S. Robinson, Conrad Gonzales, John
McMannus and Frank Hungate.

MORE LAND.
New Mexico Gets a Big Slice of
Colorado

Denver, Dec. 10.-The Denver Post
tonight prints story to the effect that
that part of the state of Colorado,
south of the 3Sth parallel, a strip of
land sixty miles wide and 400 miles
long, belongs to New Mexico. 1t says
that dispatch from Washington that
the enrolled act as it passed congress
is explicit on that point. The original
statute, passed in 1850, gives New
Mexico's northern boundary line as the
3sth parallel, while the southern
boundary of Colorado is given as the
37th degree in the statute passed in
1861. There is no reference there to
any change of the New Mexican law of
1850. The latter being a prior law
makes the matter a serious one for
Colorado.

Whether the consent of those gov

said, depend entirely upon the efficien-
cy of any guarantee that can be given
for the faithful discharge by President

be assured against the consequences
of another revolution and the repudia.
tion by the president, who may follow
Castro, of his undertakings. The ef-
forts to induce the United States gov

to say, will not succeed, and it is be-

to be mixed commission appointed to
receive all Venezuelan customs and
setting apart certain portion for the

France has now entered the field as an

against Venezuela must recognize the

PRERIoENT CASTRO.
He'Is Interviewed by Associated Press
Correspondent

Caracas. Dec. 1S.-Early today the
correspondent here OF the Associated
Press saw President Castro and ques-
toned him in regard to the report pub
lished in the United States that the
Anglo-German ultimatum had been ac-
cepted by Venezuela.
The president became furious with
rage and said there was no truth In
the report.
He added; "The acceptance of an
ultimatum cannot be coupled with ar
bitration. Besides the Anglo-German
ultimatum is not. properly speaking.
an ultimatum."
When asked II 1t were true that Ven
ezuela was taking dislomatic steps to
arrange for arbitration. and that ar
rangements in this direction were well
advanced. President Castro said:
THE government of Venezuela does
not propose TO determine on and steps
while the proposition for arbitration
that the legation of the United States
was charged to present to Great Brit
ain and Germany shall remain unan-
swered."
AT noon no answer on the subject OF
the proposed arbitration had been re-
ceived from Washington.

new MINING DISTRICT.
It Is Located on the Piegsssd Santa
y 'Fs Cut-0ff. >'r
CAAAclTO MINING CAMP,

Since the Santa Fe shortcut has
proven to be a reality, the Caracito
mining district has attracted the at
tention OF many prospectors and capt.
alists. The district lies about sixty
miles south of Albuquerque and about
thirty miles east of Belen. This region
is rich In ore and romance, for there
are found many evidences of the early
Spanish prospectors, who mined the
ore in their primitive way.
II the tale which tradition tells is
true, of the wealth extracted from
this district. then by modern methods
there must be a fortune for the pros
pectors who are now busily engaged
in this region laying out claims.
w. d. Vaughan, of Philadelphia. Pa,
and l.. w. Newberry, of Hartford,
Conn, who represent eastern capital
lists, have returned to the city after
about month OF prospecting in this
district. They said that the news of
the proposed railroad has caused a
great many prospectors to visit the
Caracito district.
They staked many claims and have
options on many good mining proper
ties.
Many claims have been staked but
are not being worked at present, but
everything favors a boom as soon as
the railroad is started. The short cut
will pass through this district, which
will not only inoraaaa Tho var,,a ~ an
claims. but will start operations and
bring many people into this rich ore
region.
There are many reasons why the
Caracito district has never been work.
ed. Principally because the region
operate on An extensive scale, and
there has been difficulty in obtaining
supplies. But these difficulties will all
be removed when the new railroad is
run through. and the facilities for ex-
tensive operations will be as great as
any Of the districts in the territory.
New Mexico has always been held
among the miners and prospectors as
a yellow dog" but they have come TO
realize that New Mexico has plenty
OF hidden wealth and with improved
modern facilities and mining methods.
there will be little trouble in develop
ing the mines.
The ore in the Caracito district will
run from IL to 10 per cent copper. and
the percentage of silver will be large
enough to pay for the smelling.
Messrs. Vaughan and Newberry will
leave for their claims in a few days
with load of supplies. They expect
tc remain permanently and develop
the claims they have bought and ex,
tend their operations. They report
that since the new road has been as,
sured a mining spirit prevails and ev-
eryone is getting ready for what they
believe will be boom.

SHOCK FEED PROBLEM

Rain has fallen during the last few days along the coast, in Los Angeles carrying the total up to Tuesday for the season to 6.03 inches and in San Diego to 2.79 inches. As far north as Fresno the total is but +,l0 inches. That this rain has been beneficial there can be no doubt. It will go a long way toward furnishing pasturage for stock, and will make it possible to grow some grain hay and summer forage. But as great portion of the grain in the San Joaquin valley and more southerly portions of the state had died for want of moisture before the rain came, thcre.can no longer be any doubt that the Southern half of the State will have a shortage of stock feed this year, while the extension of the it highly probable that more than or dinary difficulty will be experienced in getting hay for shipment south at a reasonable cost, In Arizona the same condition cNtStS,
 As has been pointed out on several occasions by the Press, this condition makes it highly desirable for the coast country as we'll as for this valley that there were railroad entering lmper- ial. Were there n guarantee that Inn perial would have railroad within 100 days, scores of land owners would at once set to work to produce stock feed, and summer crops could be grown in such quantities that South eru California would scarcely know that it had water shortage.
 IL is fortunate that the rainfall comes so late that irrigators will get the ut most benefit of the water for summer irrigation, and aside from grain and hay no crops will suffer from the shortage in rainfall.

Colonization Project

The Hartman railroad syndicate has entered on the task of promoting the colonization of lands tributary to it's lines in the West, which means partic ularly in California and the whole Southwest. It is expected there will be instituted another such movement as that which led to the placing of pop ulatlon in the Middle West thirty years ago, but which in the last quarter of century has not been pronounced feature of American activity.
 From this movement the Imperial valley has much to gain. The half million acres to be irrigated here opens a possibility for home making on a basis of immediate returns for labor which is not now and never has been paralleled in the development of America.
 There are possibilities of evil in this colonization movement, if people are led to assemble in sections where the absence of water makes it impossible for them to support themselves in comfort. But the interest of the rail- roads is in placing people where they will be able to produce the greatest quantity of commodities for shipment, and that is where water is most abun- dant for irrigation and where the eli matic conditions are most favorable.

Town Improvement Club

There are frequent allusions to the desirability of organizing the settlers into something like town improve meut club, but which will be broad enough to reach well out into the country and take in every body who is interested in promoting the affairs of the valley. The time seems ripe for such move, and something in this line will probably be undertaken in the near future.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-03-01

The aim should now be to make of Imperial the third or fourth largest city in Southern California in five years. That is 'he natural order with the immense farming country about the town. Fifteen thousand people should be assembled in the city within five years, when half million acres of land will be subject to irrigation. We may not in that time overtake Los Angeles, San Diego or Pasadena, but we ought to forge ahead of every other tnwn
