WORDS or PRAISE.

ROciada, May ., 1903.
Editor Daily Optic:
Dear Sir:-The first copies Of the
enlarged Optic have been received
and we wish to extend our congratu-
lations and thanks, which are fully
merited by the efforts you have made
In enlarging our daily paper. With
the present prospects for a prosperous
year. the citizens Of Las Vegas and
surrounding country should be proud
to patronize The Optic and help to
keep up the realization OF a long-felt
want. Our ~nndeveloped resources
need advertisement, and this cal be
accomplished only through the col
umns Of q newspaper which the people
Will read. Success to the Optic.
Slowly but surely the miners Of Ro-
ciada are cutting their way with steel
and powder towards the bowels Of the
earth In search Uf the minerals and
metals which constitute the hidden
measures thereof. Mr.. Jos. i. Matt
informs liz that az soon as he com
pletes his reduction plant in Las We
gas he will put another one up in Ro-
ciada near the Gold g. Copper COM
pany's property, known as the Joe
and Jerry.

DOUBTFUL OF DEcAPoDs.

John Bender. for many years an
| engineer on this division, with his
home at Ration, has gone to the serv-
ice OF the T.. p. & N. e., with head
quarters at Alamagordo. Mr.. Bender
is rather doubtful Of the success 81
the gigantic decapods. which the
Santa Fe has recently put upon the
Ration mountain. While these engines
will pull an enormous tonnage. they
are very hard to handle on curves.
and 1t is almost an impossibility to
back them and keep them on the
track, as there Is nothing 10 guide
them and hold them on the rails. OF
course. when they are going forward
the front trucks and drivers hold
them on the rails These engines are
so large that they can not be turned
on the turn tables without %uncoupling
the tank and turning the engines and
then the tanks.
There Ii another disagreeahle fea-
ture about these engines. and that Is
on account Of their immense power
they tear themselves TO pieces 80 bad
that II - necessary TO put them in
the shops every few months where
they have 10 be given a general over
hauling. From this. one would think
that the limit of the big engine had
about been reached.

marks would indicate that the sentl-

favor with them.
