SAN MARCIAL.

From the Bee.
San Marcial has lately been more
lively than usual in a social way.
A MASQUERADE ball will be given in
the Shaw building on the evening of
February 81.
G. p. Anderson is back from a visit
to his wife in Oklahoma. ii. w. An
derson, a brother-in-law, accompanied
him on the trip.
Wednesday evening last the mando-
lin club visited the residence of Mrs.
Fletcher and rendered numerous Sc
lections of sweet music in honor of
Mrs. Vint Humble. who with her little
son, Homer. was to leave in a few hours
for their home in Bakersfield, Califor-
MIA. Little Homer, who has been with
his grandmother for nearly three
months. has nearly regained his health
although quite a sick boy when he ar
rived here.
Rev. and Mrs. l.. L. Gladney have
the sympathy of the entire community
in the taking away by death last Mon
day of their little son Ernest Lane,
aged two months and thirteen days.
The interment took place Thursday,
February 6. 1t was DELAYED to permit
of Mr.. Gladney being present. He ar
rived in Ell Paso on Thursday from
Decatur. Ala but missed train come
lions and failed to reach San Marcial
till Friday morning.
A stranger sometimes wonders
where the merchants of San Marcial
secure the large trade they appear to
be transactihg This is no secret to
the people familiar with the situation.

view. Chloride and other settlements
within a radius of eighty miles draw
largely upon our merchants for sup
plies, and in addition to this we have
a large number of ranchers, stockmer
and miners to supply all the year
around. San Marcial certainly enjoys
a large trade and it is constantly ex
banding.

OnIv a Joke.

The report that Theo. Wilson was
engaged to marry an Albuquerque wild
ow, turned out to be a canard-a joke
perpetrated by n of his best friends.
1t was given to the Bland Herald, and
the Herald published it as a fact. Now
we hasten to correct the report and
make all due apologies to Mr.. Wilson,
who claims mat he has no knowledge
of the existence of such an engage
ment. However, his friends were in
hopes that the report was true.

across our minds. to be dispelled only a few moments later, when the stage stopped at the post office for the mail. There was an inn mense pile of it, sufficient to fill the boot entirely-and straightway the two big bultos with ice were thrown off to await the next trip of the diligencia, three days later. No doubt it will keep all that time.
 The final start was made, and in a little time we were out of town, across the river, through Santa Ana Vieja told Santa Ana) and up on the mesa, the four-horse team trail ing over the road with difiiculty,i for we had a heavy load. The time is usually four hours from Santa Ana to the 0cuca ranche, where a stop is made for dinner and to change horses, and another four hours from the ranch to Altar. But on this occasion we dragged through five long and weary hours over the first stage of our journey. The day was decidedly warm, and whenever the vehicle stopped to blow the horses we felt the heat, but when in motion a gentle breeze

and put the wheelers in the lead so he can whip them awhile, and 1t will be just like getting a fresh team"
 And that was what we thought was going to happen. But the driver took one of the wheelers out of the harness, mounted the animal and started back down the road, to look for a mail sack he alleged had fallen off from the boot behind.
 Nothing was left for the passen- gers but to await the return of the cochero, and we waited two long, weary hours. A boy passed, riding horseback, going to Altar with two or three cheeses to sell. They were tied in sacks, slung across the sad dle. In response to our inquiries, he said he had not seen the lost sack of mail. He certainly did not have it with him.
 At the end of two hours the driver returned. He had found the spot in the road where the sack had fallen (plainly showing a mark in the dust), but he believed the boy had taken up the sack and hidden it. We held theory that couple

 Shortly before noon the road led through adense grove of large meg quite trees, emerging from which we drove up to the -Ocuca ranche, where we stopped just an hour, get ting very good meal.
 Four hours more is the schedule time from Ocuca to Altar, but as we had lost an hour in the morning we were fully prepared to lose an- other; but we were not prepared to lose two more from an unwarrant- able detention. We were just two hours from Ocuca when the driver, stopping the team, got out and commenced unhitching.
 Now" said Burgoon, "he is go- ing to make that change of horses Morawetz told us about" And thereby hangs a-story.
 At the depot in Nogales, Monday evening, we met Mir. M., to whom we imparted the information we were going to Altar.
 Well" said Mir. M., "you want to take along bottle of mezcal for the driver, and then he will make frequent changes of horses. When he has whipped the leaders so they will respond to the lash no more, he will change them to the tongue

 At noon Thursday we dined with Don Emilio Ferreira and Mir. John son, and were most hospitably en- tertained. The honors of the table were most gracefully rendered by Miss Maria Ferreira, the daughter of Don Emilio, most beautiful young lady of seventeen or there about. Her face recalls to the mind a beautiful engraving once very popular in the United States, of Longfellow's Evangeline.
 Yesterday the authorities sent back after the mail sack, and it was found where the boy who had passed us had secreted it. He had been taken in hand and confessed. So our theory that it had been picked up by the men in the buggy did not hold good.
 This evening Mir. Brown and I go to the Veta Grande camp, and shall remain there tomorrow.

 After breakfast l called upon the prefect of the district, Don Emilio Ferreira, to whom l presented letter of introduction from his brother, Don Manuel Ferreira, of Hermosillo. 1 was cordially greet ed and guaranted every service.
 Visiting the place I found MT. E. Pourade, of San Bernardino, California, who is developing very fine copper property in the vicinity of Tubutama.
 Another visitor at Altar is Miss Dora Garette, formerly at Nogales, who is visiting the district in the interest of the Los Angeles Herald and other metropolitan journals. She has rich field in which to- work, and her illustrated descrip- tive articles are attracting great attention.
 During the day we called at the office of El Progreso, and were cor dially greeted by Mir. Escobar, the

 "The last time l was here they put me into room with man who saw blue ducks and l slept not at all through the fear he might see something worse that would harm me. 1 seem fated to fall in with people who see things"
 But when awoke at daylight | noticed Mir. Brown was sound as leep, so l judged that the mirror episode had not seriously alarmed him. In daylight 1 could see that the mirror" was a glass door with a red curtain behind 1t.
 While we were eating breakfast the stage was hitched up in the corral at the hotel, and soon after we were ready to leave. All piled in, there being two more paSsen- gers beside we three. One of them was Mir. Emilio Johnson, son of Don Ricardo Johnson. The bag gage was all piled in the stage, to our great inconvenience. In re-. sponse to our remonstrance, the driver said it had to be, because he had a load for the boot behind. Driving to the depot he loaded two big sacks containing ice packed in straw, there being fully 400 pounds of ice. Visions of ice-cold beer at the endof q long, dusty drive fitted

of gentlemen, travelling in buggy, whom we had met at about the point indicated had picked up the sack and taken it back to Ocuca. We said nothing to the driver about that, lest he would take an- other horse out of the team to go back to Ocuca to see, leaving the vehicle and its load standing in the road, three leagues from Altar, until midnight.
 Now the driver was savage, and he piled the whip with savage fero- city. The sun had set, and in the cool twilight the drive was delight full Later the moon arose and lent to the scene her silvery beauty. It was after eight o'clock when we reached our journeys end.
 We found MT. Wallace, superin- tendent of the Cuchillo, who had come in from the mine for that purpose, awaiting Mir. Burgoon. As soon as we had supped, the buck board came around to the hotel and Mr. Brown and the scribe parted with their travelling companion, well pleased to turn in and rest, without having to go two or three leagues farther.
 The following morning, while we were at breakfast, Don Ricardo Johnson, the well known mining operator, dropped into the hotel and we greatly enjoyed meeting him.
