Rich Mines.

F. Campbell, a Mexican mining op- orator of Siuoloa and Durango, who is now in New York, takes strong excep- tions to the statement that most of the profitable mites in Mexico already are taken up,
 Why" said MT. Campbell, ''the op poi tuuities fer profitable miuing opera tions today are nowhere equalled by those of Mexico. There are large sec tions Of the country that contain vast mineral deposits in which the Ameri- can miner has never lpene rated.. All of our large mining capitalists are going into Mexico. Once capitalist goes there it is customary for him to remain and not look elsewhere. In twenty years the mireral production of Mexico will astonish the world. The ore transportation problem, years ago, was a handicap: but today the Mexican Central railroad is doing everything in it's power to promote the ore production Of tue country; and the mines are gwen every Lcoursgement. What Mexico needs today more than anything else, is enterprising Ameri- cans to secure control of the opportuni ties existing there"

There was an incident al the county jail Monday, says the Socorro Chief tain Whsn the dishes were returned after the prisoners supper. Mrs Lewis not ced that a spoon was missing and that fact aroused her suspicious. She immediately reported 10 her husband, who set out on a tour of inspection around the jail just in time to find the prisoners drawing in the last brick be- tive n themselves and liberty.
 Bob stood guard at the hole iu the wall while his wife, within. Toiuted a Winchester, which she knows how to use, througha transom of the jail and ordered the prisoners to stand back. Her argument was effective and Bob then went inside and placed the prison CTS in the cells. rr si
 The prisoners were Pablo Garcia, Ed Randeil and Charles Dunn. The incl dent resulted from giving them the freedom of the jail because of the hot weather, but, as this is their second at- tempt to escape, Jailer Lewis will not hereafter allow his feelings of humanity to get the better of his judgment.

that | am not obliged to teach for 585

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man--that is
the order of a woman's preferences
Jewels form magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that great,
es tot all jewels, health, is often ruined
in the strenuous efforts to make or save
themo ney to purchase them. If wo;
man will risk her health to get acoveted
gem, then let her fortify herself against
the insiduous consequences OF coughs,
colds and bronchial affections by the
regular use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. It will promptly arrest con;
sumption in its early stages and heal
the affected lungs and bronchial tubes
and drive the dread disease from the
system. 1t is not cure-all, but it is a
certain cure for coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get this
reliable remedy at Donovan & Co.'S drug
store. Price % cents and IS cents.

The front of his home will be adorned
with veranda and quite an addition
to be built onto the rear.
Last Friday ". ]. Mercer started his
new delivery wagon out on its daily
rounds of delivering to customers their
purchases at his fruit store. 1t is a

Plans have already been drawn for
new Langdon residences that will be
built during the summer by Sheriff
Allan Pinkerton on north Fourth street
and Rev. Dougan on his property in the
Dorval addition. These two new homes
in the city will represent Improvements
aggregating at least $500.

C. Spenst has his house up and will
move his family into their new home in
week or so. but the folks are all tigur-
ing on having an enjoyable housewarn-
ing at the time they move in.
David Butler has got breaking bottoms
put on his gang pillow. 1t is doing a good
sample of work and also makes the work
easy for his children. who are helping
him in work on the farm this summer.
The singing school is still a big attrac-
ton with the boys and girls. We won't
give the fellow away who landed on the
left hand side of his girl when it came
to pick your partners for the walk home
after the singing school adjourned.
The fields of early sown wheat and
oats are now beginning to look green.
The light rains that have fallen since
seeding began have given all crops quite
start. a good soaking rain is hoped
for. however, in order to facilitate the
work of breaking.
Abraham Krahn had quite an exciting
runaway and smash-up the other day
while driving into town with his newly
broken colts. They got scared at a
passing train. upset the buggy. broke
the neck yoke, but were prevented from
running away by Abraham keeping a
level head all through the fracas.
Jake Spenst Jr., has been busy since
seeding finished making round of the
settlement and finds the hail insurance
business pretty good thing. Since the
crop began to show above the ground
the average farmer is ready to protect
| it with insurance. A stranger wouldn't
stand much of show to come in here
and talk hail insurance against Jake.
Most of the farmers around here used
formaldehyde or bluestone to cleanse
the seed grain they sowed from smut.
But we know one of the boys who has
made the discovery of something that
answers the purpose and is obtained at
much less cost. The outcome of the
experiment he is making this year
will be watched with interest by his
neighbors.
Jocob Veer. ST.. had the misfortune
the other day to be kicked by horse
and is now laid up with the injuries re-
ceived. The accident happened to the
old man in the barn, where he went to
look after the horses which were KICK
ing each other. In an effort to pacify
them he got the worst of it. The kick,
which he received in the chest. is re-
ported as having fractured the breast
bone. besides the possibility of internal
| injuries. Mr.. Veer is threatened with
quite serious time.

TO- be paid out Of the next years reve-
nues. The amount on hand in the var
1ous funds at the close of the year was
SS6O.97, a deficit of S41lS.32. Another
instance of lax information, in the
Clerks report, like those previously re-
Tered to. 1 might state in justice to
this years showing, that had the u.s.
ual March settlement been credited,
as was the custom in former years,
the amount of funds on hand would
have been increased to the amount of
$46lO. that being the amount of the
March settlement.
Exhibit IT," This is the last exhib-
1t, and represents the assets and the
liabilities Of the City, as they now ex-
1st. No inventory of any kind, of the
City's property has ever been carried
upon the books of the City. The war
rants, for the payment OF permanent
improvements, have been credited to
the treasurer's account and there lost
track of. The liabilities have been
treated in the same manner except
that the proceeds from bonds and tax
certificates have been charged to the
Treasurer,
No entry has been made of the tax
levy until such time as the County
treasurer made settlement and the
monies were then charged directly to
the treasurer, with the result that no
means were at hand to determine the
delinquent tax.

ter and Light plant, and the informa-
ton derived from the contract and
the bills Of purchase, have made up
the assets, as shown In this exhibit
and If the same are accepted by your
Honorable body, will be the Official
valuations of the various properties of
the City, from this time forth, and
can be so entered upon the books of
the City.
One other matter before closing this
report, that of your valuations upon
the realestate for taxation. The val
uations are too low both in your City
and County, and a great injustice is
done to that class of property holders
whose valuations are assessed at their
full value when the State adds 40 per
cent to the Connty's valuation, as was
done last year. When the next real
estate assessment is made you should
meet with the County Commissioners
and equalize yourselves. This will not
raise your taxes, but your valuations
will be higher and the rate lower, and
the State will then let your assessment
rest at your own figures, providing
they are up to the proper mark.
In closing my report, I would like
to thank the Mayor and the Chairman
of the Finance Committee for valu-
able assistance rendered during the
whole Of this investigation, the re-
suits of which. I trust, will save the
City repetition for all time to come.
All of which is respectfully submit
